Louvers stick, emits old refrigerator odor

Cons: heavy, louvers don't work, loud control panel beeps, lint filter is so-so
First of all, I want to say I googled the heck out of this item and found no reviews.
Because its promotional tag line states that it helps to reduce allergens and pollutants, I purchased it for my children's bedroom.
Two days after installation, the airflow louvers no longer open automatically. They stick and I have to manually push them open.
The a/c emits a light 'old refridgerator' odor.
Quiet Mode is spelled "QUEIT" on the remote control (minor issue I guess).
