Tools and Hardware Reviews of Duck Brand 1299529 Indoor 5-Window Shrink Film Kit, 62-by-210-Inch
Customer Review: Save money, feel warm
Summary: 4 Stars
I have used these window sealing kits in Iowa for a number of years. Pretty much standard issue in stores in that part of the world. Recently moved to Calif and is very hard to find. Given the old houses/apartments here (read: single pane, wafer thin windows, and leaky caulking) and the fairly cold night weather (temps in the 30's to 40's in winter), these are indispensable. Electric bills slashed by 5-10%, less dryness-causing heater use (and therefore less need for humidifier).
And they are easily resuable. Just be careful when you take it down after winter is over, fold and store. Only wish they gave more tape to go with it.

Summary: 4 Stars
Using the right amount of heat, it shrinks up real nice. When installed correctly, it works great. I have a window sill ledge I had to attach to because I used the 62" height for the entire window. Eventually the tape began to peel up from the stress of the "shrinked" wrap, but I kind of expected that to happen. Otherwise, the tape stuck securely, and I did not even use alcohol on the surface...because it is a stained surface which also is not recommended...but it's working. All and all, for not following the instructions and ignoring the recommendations, it is working very well.Customer Review: Good but could use some improvements
Summary: 4 Stars
Don't get me wrong, I do believe these work. They can be a bit frustrating to install however. The plastic is tough and resists tearing however I found it a bit difficult to cut. And somehow I wish the company would mark cutting lines on the plastic that would go away with heat.
Once I got the plastic up and applied the heat, these looked great and did what they advertised. I just believe you have to have the patience of a saint to be able to install more than 2 windows at a time.
Customer Review: time consuming but worth it

We purchased a kit when we were tired of our outrageous energy bill and had little choice for cheap, single-pane apartment windows. We noticed a difference right away with no draft, within a couple hours in the temperature of the room. We ended up using it on all the windows, as it works so well and comes off without leaving marks or damage. It did take about an hour per window, but we had a lot of condensation to wipe and are perfectionists haha.Customer Review: Easy and cost effective

I bought the window kits last year to prevent drafts and lowered by heating bill instead of replacing all my windows. It was easy to put up and lasted all winter (I even left one on for a year because I rarely use that window). I would use an all surface cleaner to wipe the perimeter of the window instead of using the towelettes. You'll also need an extension cord for your hairdryer to completely seal tall window.
