portable and durable

This is a great product especially for those who do not need a remote and digital features (say, you sit right next to the thing). Also, I don't mean this is portable as in mobile, but it is portable since it weighs 20-some pounds and can be moved and setup very easily. Overall, it cools my room effectively, dropping it by 12-15 degrees in the span of 30 minutes in an arid climate. It does the job, and it does it well!

Great for studio apartments

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple months ago when it was really hot in Minneapolis (in the 90s) and super humid (near 100%). I was skeptical about how much this would cool down my studio apartment as I have a 10ft ceiling and the main room (~15x~20ft) is larger than the suggested size for the power of this air conditioner. But I threw caution to the wind because of the price. I was initially not happy because it didn't seem to do much but it turned out that I had it set to Hi Fan instead of Hi Cool. Once I adjusted that, then the difference was immediately felt. It cooled down my whole place in maybe an hour and when I went to bed I needed a comforter to stay warm. I highly recommend this place as it is not terribly expensive and it cools down a decent area within a short amount of time.

Powerful little unit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was impressed by the cooling power of this unit. I have a 525 sq. ft apartment and although it does not cool the whole unit (I didn't but it to do so) it does reduce the humidity in the whole apartment. I have it in my bedroom and when I close the bedroom door it cools down the room very quickly.

Loud and ineffective

My slumlord replaced a molding unit with this cheap one. The A/C struggles to cool my small bedroom when it's in the 70s outside so I'm dreading the Louisiana summer. Maybe it's more effective in a less humid climate, but the air remains hot and sticky. It's useless on low-cool, it's obnoxiously loud on high-cool. I've used it maybe 4 or 5 times and it's starting to rattle.

Hi, Cris_77! Thank you for taking the time out to share your feedback on your air conditioner and bring your concerns to our attention. For optimal performance, selecting the correct sized air conditioner for the room’s square footage is essential for efficient cooling, and larger is not always better. If you have the correct size for your room, and the air conditioner does not feel cool to your liking, you want to ensure that the filter is cleaned. You also want to ensure that the front of air conditioner is not blocked by drapes, blinds, furniture, etc. As this can restrict air distribution. If the information above does not resolve your cooling concerns, feel free to chat with us by going to www.frigidaire.com or call us at 1-800-374-4432 Monday-Friday 8:30 am-8 pm EST. Kindly, Ciara

Fast cooling feature!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this little air cooling system!! I have never had one like this before, that fits in a window. I had it hooked up and ready to go in 15 minutes. It keeps my bedroom nice and comfortable- perfect for sleeping when it's hot outside!

Small window large room

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to be cool when I sleep and instead of cooling the whole house to the temperature I like when I sleep, I decided to get a window unit. It did not have any of the extra features I wanted, but because I have such small windows this is the only one that would fit, so I bought it. I am truly amazed at how cool it makes my very large room at night. I love this air conditioner as it allows me to sleep in comfort.

Great unit for the price

I bought this unit to put in my kitchen window. We have had the hottest summer on record and the central air was running non-stop. With this unit running during the day, I was able have the central air run less. Should have done this before. South Carolina is HOT during the summer.

Easy install, easy to use, works great

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a small ~150sq ft office. Slotted this into the window, used a couple wood blocks to keep the window from moving up (I didn't want to drill holes into the new vinyl windows), been cranking it every day and I'm still saving money. No need to try to AC my entire house just to keep my home office comfortable.

Works Well but Beware Changing the Filter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fits in a very narrow window by eliminating one of the wings. However when we went to change the filter,, it could not be re-inserted because it was striking something in the middle of the unit. We actually had to break off some of the horizontal directional fins in the front to be able to grab the obstruction and move it out of the way of the filter.
