This product is what I expected because it's a Frigidaire. The window installation was easy, I had it operating in less than a hour. The instruction was easy to understand as well as the assembly. The negative part is the drainage which is no big deal it comes with being a portable air conditioner. The air quality is great, I have a three bedroom home with the system in the den the air circulate to my bedroom at the end of the hall. I also have the ceiling fans switched opposite for additional circulation. The features are easy to function and understand, I am please with this product.

Purchase the Frigidaire 9000 BTU Portable A/C Unit to replace a 10,000 BTU Window Unit designed to fit in a "Slider Type" of window. Due to the fact I just invested a large amount of funds into having all of my windows replaced I didn't want to drill holes in the new window frames to mount the older A/C Unit. With this portable unit I was able to install the panel for the exhaust without drilling holes or using the enclosed metal window security devices by installing a piece of select pine in the window track to allow the slider section of the window to not only hold the exhaust panel but to provide security for the window. The new A/C Unit is being used in a living room area, I find it is providing the required cooling that my 10,000 BTU Unit did. If required I can also roll the Frigidaire Unit into my wife's sewing room which has about the same amount of square feet to provide cooling if she informs me it's to warm or hot. I haven't received my first electrical bill yet to see how much my cost will be, since I also had to replace my dehumidifier in the basement at the same time I installed the portable A/C Unit I figure there will be a noticeable increase even both units are listed as energy efficient. Would suggest this type of A/C Unit for anyone living in an apartment where it might either cause problems or one isn't able to install a window type of A/C Unit or for anyone who would like to have one A/C Unit that can easily be moved from room to room and installed with the minimum of effort as the window panel adjust without any effort.

this indoor air conditioner is fantastic, it is not as noisy as the window units and it really takes out the humidity! It is pricey, but if it works for 4 or 5 years it is worth the money.

we absolutly love love our air conditioner, our bedroom is upstairs at front of house so the sun beats in our room all day we have absolutly no outside breeze in this room so with all this heat lately our room was like a miserable sweat box we were running 3 fans 24-7 which did not help one bit, i couldnt take it anymore i overheard a customer at my work talking about her portable air conditioner she recently purchased she went on and on about it she was happy and laughing she looked relaxed and well rested i thought to myself that i want to be like that again but instead ive been grumpy and tired and rarely was smiling so after work that day i went on a mission i was going to buy a portable air conditioner! but after hours of driving to many many differant stores and being told sorry were sold out by each and everyone i finally gave up and went home to our sweat box of a room defeated,as i was laying there in misery i started thinking that there has to be an appliance store ive forgotten to check and there was! i called and they said they had 2 left , i was there within an hour when i walked in and asked about them the salesman said they were gone i almost broke down in tears from defeat until he says wait i think we still have one in back thats when he brought out thee most beautiful looking frigidaire portable air conditioner ever!!! we hooked it up with no problems at all it fits perfectly in corner right under the window its quiet and most of all it cools our room beyond what i was expecting we love the remote control and the differant cooling and fan settings it works like a dream i am now that very woman i overheard talking that day about hers all i do is tell everybody about this frigidaire i recomend this portable air conditioner to every single person out there looking for one believe me it has changed my life and it will yours so get that smile back like i have!!! good job frigidaire awesome product!

I already owned a 12,000 BTU unit I bought from Wal-Mart for our living room, so when our bedroom window unit finally stopped working I decided to replace it with a 9,000 BTU portable unit. Not needing to lug a heavy window unit in and out of the window every year will make a believer out of you. The units function nicely and look very stylish.

The Unit arrived faster than I expected, and works very well. The only hiccup was in getting the exhaust hose coupled up to the window panel. I thought installing the exhaust hose and window panel would be simple, and looking at the individual parts after unpacking it seemed like I had thought correctly. The reality was far different. I couldn't get the connectors that go on the ends of the hose on easily, and ended up breaking one of the plastic locking tabs on the end the hooks into the window panel because of the end on the unit faced a different direction and was causing the hose to shift. I think the design of the exhaust hose system it really bad and would on it's own rate a negative score, but the unit it self would score a perfect five. So I average it down to a straight four. Since the window panel is pretty much a must have for the exhaust system to work a coupling using a more permanent phalange design I think would be better.

I read several reviews on this product before making up my mind and I am very satisfied with my purchase. Set up was very simple and operating this unit is so easy. I work third shift and keep my bedroom closed off during the day and in warmer weather the room got warm and stuffy. This unit runs extreamly quiet and really cools my room. I honestly got more than I expected with this purchase.

I'm not much of a complainer & grateful to have a AC after someone stole my central ac for the copper but...I purchased the 12,000 BTU exactly like this one but the 9,000 must be the only one available now. My 8,000 btu window unit did a better job than this. It barely keeps the family room cool with other Ac's in the house but my biggest complaint is the noise! have to keep it on high to do any good at all & I have to blast the tv & leave the room when I get a call. I have never had a louder ac unit. I have a cat who bumps the hose off by walking by it, very poor exhaust set up. It is less bother to have a window unit than this portable that has to be at least a foot away from the window with a ugly hose attached to the window that comes loose if you move it a inch. I wouldnt buy another, not worth $500 thats for sure. also be sure to have something to cut the hard plastic insert to fit your window & ear plugs

Too heavy to move Too difficult to attach the vent tube as needed for cooling Frustrating to set up for cooling Tube always popping out of one connector end or another - needs constant monitoring Tube gets very, very hot, so needs to cool before re-connecting after it pops off Did I mention, frustrating? It cools very well once I've sweated through the set-up, if I've managed to be successful - this year I just gave up in frustration: no sonner do I get one end of the tube connected correctly when the other end pops off!! The tube doesn't simply "screw" on to the connectors as stated in the manual. Big pain in the neck!!!!

I bought this since my central air conditioner would not kick off on its own during the day this summer. Inside was 98 degrees while outside was 107. I was hoping this would cool off the trailer we rent. The first problem is the window piece says you can cut it to fit a window but for the life of me I can't figure out HOW to do this without the hard plastic it is made of cracking and splitting and ending up as trash. Calling Frigidaire was NO HELP whatsoever. They just referred me to contact a local a/c company for advice on this. So we have the vent in the window poking through a cardboard hole and a towel to block the summer heat from coming in. It is also a 9000 BTU unit and I erroneousily thought it would BLAST cool air in the room we have it set up in but no it is a WEAK blower. While it says it is portable, the window fixture part, if you can figure out how to use it is NOT portable. So you either have to come up with another solution for other room windows or you have to buy more of this part for those additional windows. Finally, I'm not sure how it affected my electric bill has I have not received it yet. All in all, it was NOT worth the nearly $500 I spent.
