Great purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought two of these for two 14' x 12' bedrooms. Attaching window bracket, side panels, and installation in window took took less than ten minutes. They keep the bedrooms very cool and combine to keep the hallway and living room of our one story cape very comfortable. Very quiet overnight on low cool. Great performance and value.

Nice and cool

I got this after surviving six New York City summers without AC, and I'm so glad I finally took the plunge. This was easy to install and it works great. It sometimes makes weird unexpected noises, but according to the manual they're all normal, and most of the time I don't even notice its hum. My one complaint is that the little wheel on the vent broke within like...two days of me installing it. I don't really need it because of the way my room is set up, but it was kind of irritating. Other than that though, I'm very happy with it.

Works like I expected !

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this installed and running for a bit over a month now and it just works ! It's been 100+ over the last week and it keeps the room a nice, cool 78 degrees when it's 110 outside. I use it in my home office which is about 110 sq ft.

Cold place

I bought an A/C from Frigidaire and it's amazing, works perfectly, I was using it just for my room but it's that strong that freezes the house ( a small apartment but still) I'm really happy with this purchase and it's fully recommended, plus fits everywhere! , thanks for the good quality

Good Cool Air but poor water drainage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cools my room very well with a reasonable noise level. It is easy to use on a timer which helps my electric bill. But I wish the unit had a proper drainage hole. No matter how much you tilt the unit, water still lays in the collection pan and the fan splatters it out.

Inconsistent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought two of these units. One worked fine, the other one never cooled. After troubleshooting with an air conditioner repair company (it was within one month of purchase and under warranty from frigidaire for replacement only, not repair--and I had already paid for professional installation) it was determined that the unit had a freon problem and needed to be replaced. If you get a unit that actually works, don't expect it to be exceptionally quiet. But it cools our bedrooms well and is compact enough that it doesn't obstruct the view.

Great small A/C

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchase two of these three summers ago and have been very happy with their performance. I install them in May and remove in September. They have worked flawlessly and have kept my 1000sqf condo nice and cool. Great value and apparently well built.

3½ stars

This is a nice air conditioner it cools down most of my upstairs. My concern is the temperature knob doesn't really do anything unless it's on 7 max cool. Every other temperature setting seems to kick the compressor off so it's basically acting as the fan setting. So either you'll wake up in a freezer or an oven. Luckily I love the cold. You're probably better off getting one with a temperature sensor.

It's not powerful enough

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My AC unit has never been powerful enough. If it's over 90° outside it will barely get cold in my room. It does let outbcold air, however it doesn't spread throughout the room. I have a very small room and it should be able to do the job. I'm super disappointed.

Good afternoon, Toohot! Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us. If the room temperature is very high, the air exiting the unit may not feel cold. Air exiting the unit is usually between 17°-20°F lower than the Intake air, and may not feel cold to the touch until the room temperature is reduced. Ensure that all windows and curtains are closed to reduce the amount of heat that enters the environment. It is also best if you have ceiling fans or additional AC units running at the same time to help cool the environment together –and not rely on just one unit. If you still have a concern of sorts, contact us at 1-888-203-1389 Mon-Fri 8am to 8pm and Sat 9am to 6pm EST. -Jennifer

Worst experience I've ever had with an AC

At first it worked fine it's not the biggest so I don't expect much after a while of it on it would keep my room cool but it gave out on me today and it hasn't even been 6 months kept making the loudest noises ever like it was gonna explode and like as if stuff was stuck inside of it, it's crazy bc I've never heard that from an AC before like I was terrified it was gonna blow up and then boom it gives out or works for like 3 seconds then stops working again after spending that much money on it I feel like I got scammed I'm very unhappy with this product.
