No verified online listing
A window AC is a self-install unit: you set it in the window (or wall sleeve), no contractor or refrigerant charge needed. We have not matched a retail listing for this exact model, so we are not linking one. Search your usual retailer for the model number above — and check the certified specs here against whatever you find.
Sized for ~150 sq ft — measure your room and check your window type before you buy.

Brand, warranty & reliability
A large Chinese electronics maker selling low-cost mini-splits; units cool well and reviewers like the smart features, but the HVAC track record is short and the North American dealer/parts network is thin.
Reliability is our read of published brand assessments (source), not a certified rating — real-world dependability hinges on a correct install more than the brand. Warranty terms are the manufacturer's (policy) and almost always require online registration within 60–90 days for the full length.

Frequently asked questions
Is 5,000 BTU right for my room, or should I size up?
About 150 square feet is the guide figure, and 8 certified units sit on that shelf. The next shelf up is 6,000 BTU (17 units), about 250 sq ft. Between two shelves, take the smaller one: oversizing is the usual reason a unit cools but leaves the room clammy, which our sizing calculator explains.
Will the TCL W5WC72M fit my window?
Measure your window opening first — it needs to be at least 16" wide (the cabinet width), and the unit is about 13" tall and 16" deep, roughly 42 lb. Most double-hung windows fit units in this range with the included side panels, but confirm your window's inside width and minimum height.
Sources. Certification and CEER from ENERGY STAR room-AC data and the DOE compliance certification database. Cooling capacity, dimensions and refrigerant are the manufacturer-certified values. Annual running cost, suggested room size and the percentile are computed by Verified HVAC Data from published ratings and EIA U.S. average electricity prices — see our methodology. Refrigerant GWP is the IPCC value. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means the source registry doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
