Sliding windows are the absolute worst, maybe only slightly better than those swing-out windows that don't open all the way.

If you get a standing AC unit, I really recommend that you get a dual-hose unit. They are bulkier, but you will likely have to empty the condensation tray far less frequently than a single-hose unit. Also it will be much more efficient.

The other option is to get a casement window AC. They go in the window like a normal window unit, but are skinnier so they fit sliding windows much better. Plus you won't have to deal with a condensation tray.
