COOL YA' OFF WITH GREAT VALUE

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little unit puts the AC out for you! Smaller in size but packs a punch in it's ability to cool down a good amount of square footage. I have only one small window in my room so my options were already limited with size. This unit came highly rated and was decently priced. Easy to set up and secure without any special equipment. I have already recommended this unit to a number of friends.

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.

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

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.

This unit BLOWS!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit blows very cold air. It was inexpensive and easy to install. We needed a little help in our master bedroom this year with temperature in the 100's our central system just could not cool the room.

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 little air conditioner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this air conditioner for about a month now. So far so good. I bought it because it's small enough to fit in my kitchen window. I have an old house with the old style rope windows. I had to remove the shade brackets (above the rope wheel) to get the window to go up high enough, even with this smaller air conditioner. That's because I have storm windows that are more than an inch higher than the main window base. This air conditioner fit perfectly. I just had to add wood underneath to make up the height difference. And it worked out great that it's a Frigidaire! I have a 6000 BTU Frigidaire air conditioner in my bedroom, which I've been using for several years, that I love. And now I have this 5000 BTU one in my kitchen. Between the two of them my 1,200 square foot house is staying much cooler! And that is really a blessing with this hot weather we've been having in the Pacific Northwest! I turn them on and off manually during the day...and off at night. And also use fans. But they can also be set to maintain a comfortable temperature, and go on and off automatically. It was a great buy, especially for the price. And the lighter weight made it easier to lift and install!

Works well, with considerable maintenance...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works very well in my small apartment as a window unit for the living room/kitchenette area. Before my roommate and I installed units in the room, it cooled the space pretty well, so if you are patient with the heat, it could cool your apartment down enough without room units, as well. It did require a significant amount of set-up, including screwing in a window mount on the top. I consider myself to be pretty good with basic instructions/assembly, but still needed to ask my mom for help with this one. Might be something to consider!

Not horrible but not excellent either

Disappointed because I now own 2 of these 5,000 BTU Frigidaire air conditioners and I had a 8,000 BTU Haier air conditioner before and it was more powerful, energy efficient, and cold than both of the Frigidaires combined. Also-it had WAY more features-temperature setting, remote control, timer, energy save mode, etc. Only downside was how loud it was but wooow it was strong! If your looking for a cheap A/C that will cool off a small room and not break the bank then this is it, but if your looking for something $30-50 more with way more options then look elsewhere. If you don't have the extra bucks-it'll do.

Don't Cool Entire Room

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It states that it would cover 150 sq ft but it don't. This room is is only 110 sq ft. I don't feel anything on the other side of the bed. Also there is no way I should be able to sleep at night with it running and I have no covers on. If I'm sitting on the side of the bed or standing whatever in the area of the ac it's ok. Oh and I have a ceiling fan on.
