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.

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.

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.

a small unit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this unit a month ago for a very small space < 150 sq feet. The store salesmen suggested for a small BTU one should not buy a digital readout unit because the computer boards could fail. What I find with this model is that the middle of the dial range is not cool enough - I need to move to 4 - 5 for cool air. It also is not star energy rated so my concern is just how much this unit will actually cost me to run on low cool at 5 during the hot summer months. I think I would have been more confident with a digital readout - where I could set the desired temperature. Also I see the suggest manufacturer's price - but when I was shopping online the price was higher and I paid more for my unit.

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.

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.

Good buy for the money

We have had the unit for over a month now. We got it for our bedroom at night feeling there was no need to cool the whole house while we slept. It keeps our room plenty cool. Some minor application of window jamb rails and ready to install. More was involved getting the window opening prepped than there was on the a/c. The air louver system is very basic. It could be better, but it works adequately Glad we for it.

Keeping Cool!

We had to find a new window air conditioner after our very old and 2nd hand one stopped working. The window a new a/c needed to be installed into was small, so there were very few choices online that would fit. To my sursprise, this one was the same model that we had to replace! Lighter in weight made for easier install. The new one doesn't drip everywhere, and the price was excellent. Our house is small (just over 1000 sq ft) with only a large bedroom and bathroom upstairs where the is installed, and that is the only space we wanted to cool and dehumidify. To our surprise, and comfort, the entire house is cooler and drier! Very happy with this small but mighty model.

Great A/C

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this ac on June 28th, and it works great in my studio apartment. Sometimes it gets too cold and I have to turn it down, the fan also works well at circulating the air. Basic functions sometimes the old fashioned ways are the best!

Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about two months ago and have loved it. The unit is slightly on the louder side when operating but I love falling asleep to white noise so it is perfect for me. It can only cool down one large room or a couple smaller rooms so only use this in bedrooms but not large living spaces. It is really good at cooling the spaces down and so far has been a reliable product.
