I was skeptical but was good for the price. The sash is comes out a little too easy and flops around if open too quick but works good for a shower as a vent

American Craftsman windows were outstanding. Several times my installer asked where I had gotten them. Of course, it was from Home Depot. The quality and workmanship are outstanding. The windows fit perfectly in our rough openings.

Look Good, easy install excellent quality
I wanted an inexpensive temporary window to add to my back stairs for air flow and a place for my cats to enjoy the outdoors year-round & this window was perfect. It installed easy has excellent insulative properties and added security to my back of the house area. Sliding windows + Glass Blocks were a perfect combination this combination was much less $$$ than ordering custom sized windows to fit the opening. To make them more secure for the cats I replaced the stock fiberglass screens with aluminum. One thing I really liked was the windows came with all the hardware you need.

    The windows were a breeze to install and it added so much character to the exterior and the basement. They were the exact size I needed, so no modifications were necessary. Operating them is also real smooth and easy.

    just recently had 2 of these windows installed in a loft area that I had enclosed. The windows open into a light filled living room area. The windows open on both sides and look great in the new space. With windows closed, noise is muffled from living area below. Didn't want just 1 big square window - but preferred this rectangular shaped window and put 2 fairly close together horizontally. Also was looking for something in stock at the store.

    The American Craftsman window was a great option for our bath remodel. The house was built in 1958 and had what was current back in the day. My only complaint was having to order the window because it is not a stock item. It crossed at least ten states in its journey, but came in two days before it was promised, took eight days; so plan accordingly when working with a contractor. We are pleased and have plans for some other windows in this old house.

    Very poor quality control. Two windows were ordered and we were told it would be 3 weeks until they came in. We were given a date. We went to Home Depot and inquired about the order when the windows were 10 days past the given date. Home Depot said they would check into the status and never got back to us until a week later when the windows came in. The windows were easy to install, but not to open. The windows appeared to be stuck. After checking and rechecking for stops, trying to check the online installation instructions (very poor and the product doesn't come with instructions) to see if there was a packaging stop or some other reason the windows would not open, we just forced the sliding window open by throwing it back and forth in the track a few time. We found manufacturing debris in the track that was the culprit, in both windows we ordered. After cleaning out the debris, the windows open and close, but there is about a half inch sticky spot when the window is first opened. Finally, we have a screw sticking down between the glass on the sliding window. The seal is missing in the spot as well, and the glass is cantered in the frame, so I imagine that the gas seal is not intact either. We will see if we can get another one, and how long that takes. We have had the windows for 2 days. Very disappointed, especially for what we paid.

      Very Poor Choice for replacement window
      Cons: a) on the 31 x 19 window the frame is proportionally huge taking up space and leaving you with a tiny window. b) the sliding mechanism allows the window to easily be lifted up out the track, making it a terrible choice if security is a concern. The moves so high you slide a screw driver under it, similar to how sliding glass doors are sometimes broken into, but worse. You can move the entire thing with just hand from the the outside. c) I bought two, on one the window is mal-formed so it barely slide over enough to allow the locking mechanism to work, leaving dents in the frame where it missing. d) due the sliding off track problem again, the outside of one of my windows cracked. e) the screens don't fit (at least not on mine) not sure why they would design screens that can't be popped in Pros: a) the installation was easy b) the windows looks nice if you get past the frame taking up so much real estate and don't mind a tiny window in it's place. c) you can slide them open. Overall: I guess you get what you pay for here. For $100 it's a window. My other windows are Weathershield windows and in a different league. This window is minor league for sure. I would never buy this brand again though.

      This product has great value in both quality and appearance.
      I loved the nice clean look of the windows. The price was excellent. The installer said that they went in well. We are so pleased with the job. The service from Home Depot was good. The order was shipped timely.

      Window arrived with a small crack. Since it was only available via delivery and my workman was here I had to install it anyway

      While I was impressed with the double insulated glass, the sliding window did not seal sufficiently to keep out the cold in northern environments. I will be looking for a more energy efficient solution.

      Perfect match to replace my 50 year old basement windows. Easy to install.

      The description and picture on the website are for a window that opens by sliding it from one side to the other. The window I received opens from the top and hangs open.
