8K btu ac for $280ish, you can't beat that. Quiet unit for its size Remote is very handy Unit cools my apt around 375 sq ft very quickly & maintains.

This air conditioner for its size does a great job. Its cool down more then one room. It is a great value.

I bought this air conditioner for my daughter who had just moved into a house in TX which did not have any AC units. She wanted it to cool her bedroom and she says it is doing a great job. Keeps her cool and she is liking that!

Preforms great! Cools like a 10,000 btu unit. I like the remote. The fan is a little louder than i expected but it is not the fan it is the amount of air it is pushing. I would buy this again!

This was the best purchase I made. I live in a small 1BR apt and this unit keeps my whole apt super cool even if I'm cooking. It's not as loud as I had expected it be after reading the others review. I would highly recommend it!

I purchased this unit to cool my wifes 300 sq ft childcare room. It quickly and efficiently cools the room. Remote control is very handy. Great unit for the price.

I have three of these A/Cs at home now and have been very happy with them. When I was doing my research they seemed to be the best value in terms of cost and efficiency. They keep my 400+square foot room plenty cool. I agree the beep is too load, but I don't readjust it enough to care. No problems with them so far. Full disclosure - I have the FRA085AT7 (not 086) but they look to be nearly identical, if not the exact same model. The 085 wasn't an option to review on this website.

To begin with I work Nights and sleep in the day time. This A/C have Styrofoam that blocks the outside from the inside part of the A/C. Normally when the sun will come up the light will pass thru the Styrofoam and light up your bedroom. I don't like this at all I want a dark Bedroom So what I did was Take the cover off and removed the top part of the Styrofoam the bottom part you can't I got Simply Spray Color Black from Walmart in the craft isle This is a water based paint. I than sprayed the lower part as much I could it can be messy and than sprayed the upper part separate from the A/C. When the paint dried I put the Styrofoam back together and put cover and front Grill back on Have checked by shinning a light from the back and have so far seen not light leak thru Will be putting this A/C in Window Monday And hope that this will work. I also have a 6000 same as this that I did the same thing too. but plan to use the 8000 due to better cooling output

I've had this model now for a couple of months, during which the weather has been unusually hot for unusually long stretches. For much of that time, this window unit could not be used because water would build up in the exterior shell, create a terrible smell and attract flies. Only after I took the unit out, turned it on end to pour out the water and then reinstalled the unit with an extreme tilt was I able to continue to use it to help cool my house. The unit would benefit from the addition of more drainage holes in the bottom of the exterior shell.

I have now owned several Frigidaire air conditioners and they seem to be some of the best for the price. I agree that the beeping that comes with every action is pretty annoying, but other than that I have no complaints. The unit cools the room quickly, I love the econ mode for the days I need to keep the room cooler for my pets while I'm away, and the remote control sensing feature is pretty nice too.
