Awesome simple Frigidaire 5000 BTU window A/C can't be beat !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a simple, magnificent, awesome 5000 BTU window air conditioner! I purposely bought this because of the "old fashioned" knobs, I didn't want digital readout and thermostat in it. I've had problems in the past with other brands where the thermostat didn't work properly and the machine would shut down when it shouldn't have. So nice to just turn it on and it runs until I turn it off. And who needs a remote control for a window air conditioner? Have we become THAT lazy we can't get up, walk over to the machine and switch the controls. Come on people, maybe that is why obesity is rampant in America. All in all a wonderful unit that works great, just check out the amazing reviews and satisfaction of other purchasers too. The simpler the better. Highly recommended!

Not a good AC

This AC only blew out cold air 2 feet in front of it, I had to return it and it was so loud that I could not even hear my TV and thats with a sound bar and sub woofer, really disappointed in the lack of quality from Frigidaire, they used to make excellent AC's anorher red flag was the unit was not heavy, cheap parts, I hope they will being back their quality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a little louder than I'm used to and this is only on low cool, but I do like to sleep with the background noise. I feel like it doesn't cool as well as I expected with such a littler room, but like I said, I've only used it on low cool. Once summer hits, I'll definitely bump it up to high cool.

DO NOT BUY!!!!

Most reviews on here are from people who haven't spent a couple of months with this AC. It cools down a VERY small room until eventually it starts to blow out warm air. Not to mention the loud buzzing noise that will make you jump out of bed in the middle of the night or day. While you may think it will only last 5 minutes it will come back again every 10 minutes. This is the worst air conditioned I've ever owned. What a waste of money.

great little air conditioner

The room that we are cooling is a closed in garage, about 400 square feet. We do have heating and air in this room but it needs a supplement due to not all of the walls being insulated because it was a garage. This air conditioner works perfectly and cools it off plenty.

DIED AFTER 6 MONTHS OF USE

I bought this air conditioner in June 2019. It ran partly in June, July, and August of 2019. I reinstalled it this year and it ran in June and part of July until it started making awful noises and quit cooling the air entirely. Emails to Frigidaire have gone unanswered. I would not buy this unit, it does not last.

Some Good, some not so good

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] (compared to my last window mounted air conditioner) The wonderfully powerful blower is loud. The compressor is very quiet. Cools very well if the outside temperature is above 60 degrees F. There is minimal cooling when the temperature is below that mark. We wish it had louvers for up and down in addition to left and right.

Dissapointed

It worked great for 2 weeks! After that something went wrong. Made a large noise turning the temp control dial. Called the company to get a replacement . Very hard to get a new one after working for only 2 weeks. Still I have to send more documents. I'm giving up.
