How far out from the window does the unit extend (from the accordion panels to the back)?

Well, it's 4 1/2 inches from the accordion panel to the front. So, if you look up the dimensions from front to back, subtract 4.5 inches and that should give you an approx. length to the back of it.

The unit itself is 19 inches wide and 15 inches tall; the accordion sides add another 5 inches per side. Unless you block in your window beyond that, the sides will not accordion out to fit your window.

I don't know exact measurements, but it fits a 36in width window. It allows room for it to scrunch up a little and create the waving effect so there is still room to extend it, but not a whole bunch.

Same deal - it's accordion, but doesn't stretch terribly well without pulling out of the window mount.. I'd say 4-5 feet tops..

I measured the distance from the window to the exterior point of the awning at 29 1/4 inches. The awning was at full extension as shown in the picture.

We threw our unit away. Stopped working right after the warranty expired. Please avoid. If you insist on purchaing, the window vent was about 6 inches in height. Good luck.

To the extent that the unit is about 6" in depth, it does "jut" out from its plastic frame on both sides by about 3" each side. There is a slider that accommodates the width of the window space in which you would like to place the unit. The entire unit fits into the frame of your window. It is ideal for vertically sliding windows. Just slide the window open, place the unit inside, and slide the window pane in place gripping the top of the fan's frame. The unit also fits in horizontally sliding windows--in this case width becomes height. Very versatile and user-friendly fan. Quality for the price.

Earl - the window panel is adjustable and I believe it goes to 48" or very close to that. I adjusted the panel with the 2 screws - easy to do, and still had a small space left on top. I bought some foam from home depot and just squashed that into the space which took care of it fine. I have a vertical window.

About 38 inches. The best thing to do if that is not long enough is to have a handyman make a piece using the fitting end of the window piece attached to a piece of plywood.

I measured the unit at the top. Without the extensions in, it is about 34-1/4". Each extension is about 11" long, but I'd say you needed to make sure that at least 3" was inserted, leaving 9". So, 34+9+9 = 62" maximum. I wouldn't want to put to hand too many hangars on the extensions if they were extended that far. Actually, I was looking for a narrow unit, so I am very happy with the 34-1/4".

I don't have unit handy now, but having seen it installed I believe it is at least an 18" extension...

It's between 4-5 feet when expanded.I didn't put it in a window. Instead, I drilled a hole through the wall, and installed it with the bracket and some pcv tubing...

The unit is in reality 5" from the wall as there's a stone facade then painting & tv.The space in the back is needed for the air intake.I am enjoying this item tremendously.

My window is 36" wide and there is room to spare. It has an attachable accordion extension on the side. I'd guess it expands another several inches beyond the 36" I have it in now.

I put mine in a 32" window. It would really be stretching the accordion-fold side panels to make it to 39." However, I have used paneling or thin plywood and and made effective side panels.

I have this unit & am happy with it - but I have a much wider width window than you. If the minimum required is beyond your opening - that would be it. Even mine fit iin such a way that I couldn't put in the 2 side accordian sides typical for the window unit. I only had about 5 - 6 inches excess in total. You may have to go down to a smaller width unit.

I'm afraid I'm not much help. I have casement windows and so it goes 44 inches, but that's farther than it is designed to go. I screwed the two pieces together as directed, but had to give them some extra support with Gorilla tape. Then again, you could probably put them in a 44" wide space in a double hung window because the weight of the window would hold it in place. BTW, I love the A/C unit.
