Hammacher Schlemmer Over The Sill Air Conditioner
Best cooling solution for those wanting to preserve their window views.

By straddling the sill rather than sitting in the frame, this design preserves your view and natural light while keeping the room cool. It’s the rare cooling solution that prioritizes your home's aesthetics as much as its climate.
