Excellent unit keeps the room as cold as I want
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this unit after our house A/C went out as a stop gap till we could get a repair. It has worked so well that we have postponed repairing the house A/C until next year. Even on the hottest summer days it kept whichever room we had it in nice a cool.

    Hey Julian, thank you for your review. Here are a few things that you can try that might help. Change the temperature/thermostat setting to drop the temperature lower, turn to a higher Fan Speed using the selector switch or let the appliance run for several hours in order to notice a considerable difference. 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. Hope this is useful!

      Perfect
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect. Unit works really well, is pretty quiet and has a sleek look. I work nights and sleep during the day and this keeps me comfortably asleep. My best purchase of the summer!

        Works well but hard to install
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This works extremely well and I am so glad I have it. My one complaint is that it is hard to install and de-install, so it takes a lot of time if I want to store it during the day or for days at a time and only take it out when I want to use it. The tube detaches too easily from the window unit and from the unit itself, so when you are adjusting the whole thing to get it in the window, it often comes apart and is very frustrating. But once it's in, it works great!

              Feels like more than 12000 BTUs
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had this awesome AC for a few months now. It has been a life saver in this 100 degree weather. I have been using it for my 950 sqft apt and it has been doing a great job of keeping it cool. It is very sleek and quiet, yet powerful. It is the best for it's price!

                Great A/C unit
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cools my space quite nicely, not as loud as I thought it would be. Very happy with it so far.

                        This unit is a great disappointment
                        I just bought this unit to cool a 11 x 10 room which it did not do. Bought it for my son to keep him cool at nights a grave disappointment.

                        Goodness! Becky38, air exiting the air conditioner is usually between 17°F - 20°F lower than the intake air, and may not feel cold to the touch until the ambient temperature is reduced. If your space is not well insulated, this can account for the environment being hotter as the cool air has no place to “stay” and escapes the area quickly. If this hasn't helped, please reconnect with us directly for assistance by calling Mon-Fri, 8a-8p or Saturday 9a-6p EST@ 800-724-7519. Your friendly Frigidaire lady, Ruth
                          Efficient
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this primarily in the bedroom. It is energy-efficient and cools the room in a satisfactory manner.

                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit is a pretty solid one, and can actually cool an entire floor of the house if given plenty of time to do so.

                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The day we bought this it was 109* degrees, it's been a life saver. We also appreciate the dehumidifier feature so that during the winter we can pull water out of the air to keep warm. Installation was a breeze...pun intended!

                                  Worked really well when out a/c went out
                                  Bought this as an emergency/temporary replacement when our central air conditioner went out. Kept the family/kitchen just cool enough when the temperature outside was 110. Did better than expected and at least we didn't have to move out. Taking this with us when we move.

                                      Product works well if you keep up on maintainance. Needs to be hooked up so it can properly drain! Creates much more water then you'd expect, about a gallon every 6 hours. Not meant for a living space with many hallways, best for one big room! Took about 2-3 days too cool down my 485 sq apartment at first.

                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this because I only have 1 window in bedroom. It is very easy to connect and is alot quieter than 2 others I had. This unit is great good features a lot of settings and cooled the room good considering insulation in room isn't Great. Going to be adding insulation this fall looking forward for next summer. I no Frigidaire is excellent product.

                                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought for a "just in case". The noise on high is louder than I thought but bearable. On low, very quite. Much nicer to move than a window unit. Used it for a 24'x16' with vault ceiling it took the edge off. With any smaller room it should be perfect. Don't regret the purchase.

                                                      Hello, Ms Somewhat. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your a/c. Try adjusting the louvers and using a higher fan speed. Since this is a portable a/c, it can be moved to other areas of the room (but still close enough to vent outside). While we cannot implement all suggestions we receive, we will continue to use valuable feedback such as yours to improve the design of our products in the future. ~ Brandi
