Only six inches tall and weighing 30 pounds, it’s a snap to install –and you can do it by yourself.
Smaller than a suitcase, it’s also easy to move from room to room, fits under the bed for storage in the winter, and leaves plenty of room to view out your windows.

The team behind it launched a crowdfunding campaign Saturday to raise $250,000 to bring their compact air conditioner to market — and collected more than $1.5 million in just the first three days.
Early supporters can buy the Noria for $295, and expect to start shipping in April, 2017 – just in time for next summer.

I want to upgrade next year.’”
