    Did NOT meet my expectations
    This unit is particularly noisy and does not cool even my 20X20 sq. foot room sufficiently. The remote feature is the most redeeming quality.

    Hi Chaud! A 5, 000 btu air conditioner will only cool up to 150 square feet. A room size of 20 x 20 would be too large for an air conditioner this size. If you need assistance with locating the proper air conditioner for your room, please contact us directly. -CiCi Frigidaire
      Remote works well.
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation instructions were good. Fit well in window.

        Hi SA! Thank you for your honest review. Your air conditioner may make many sounds, such as high pitched chatter, vibration, ping, swishing, sound of rushing air, gurgle or hissing; which is a part of the normal operations. If your air conditioner is making any unusual sounds, please contact us directly. –CiCi Frigidaire

          Perfect companion to central ac for upstairs rooms
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought two or these units to ease the demand on my home's central a/c and my pocket book. So glad I did. I'm able to run these at night in the rooms we occupy and turn off the the central a/c. Keeps both rooms plenty cool throughout the night and I don't cool rooms I'm not using. I've cut way down on my electricity consumption as a result and that makes the summer heat even more tolerable.

              I had to return this AC because it was so loud. I couldn't think with it on. It made sleeping fifteen feet away from it difficult. The noise is intense. Better to get the Keystone AC--so nice and quiet. This one, Frigidaire's 5000 BTUs, is unfortunately super loud.

                    Great Little A/C!
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Small but packs a decent punch and is NOT loud at all.

                      Performance of my window unit
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Picked up a 5000 unit to cool one of the bedrooms in the house recently and I must say I m a bit impressed on how well it performs! Gets a 120sqft space cooler within 5 mins! The install was pretty straight forward and took about an hour to do including modifications to the window sill.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have enjoyed this AC unit. It is quiet, efficient and the remote was a hit with many of our family members. It was easy to install and remove at the end of the season.

                                    The AC unit arrived and when I opened the box it was broken. Control panel was broken loose and the casing was bent. Home Depot allowed me to return it with full refund but left me with no AC and time spent returning. Next time buying from store only.

                                        IT WORKS…YEA!!!!
                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like just about everything about this unit, the wonderful cold air, the price, the ease of function, the remote…the only problem is that the ENERGY SAVER status doesn't function completely as it should. Too often it comes on for 5 - 10 seconds and then shuts off without the compressor coming on and doesn't bring the room temperature back down to where it should be…but then, after a bunch of times doing that it will suddenly go on and stay on…sometimes for far longer than necessary…but in the end…it cools the room the way I wanted it to be and that's fine with me...

                                          Works well for my need
                                          I needed a replacement for the AC unit in my sunroom, where the only window that opens up and down (vs side-to-side) is only 20" wide. Although this unit is intended, as all units seem to be, for widows at least 23" wide, my handyman was able to adapt the frame for my small window and to achieve a tight, energy efficient fit. I needed a replacement immediately and found that every merchant I checked was out of all of the less expensive small units, so I bought this one, which was quite a bit more expensive than most of this size. I thought the remote control was a ridiculous extra "frill", but I find I'm rapidly growing addicted to it! I can step into my sunroom, pick the remote up from the table just inside the door, and within minutes go out to a pleasantly cooled room. My sunroom is just under 180 square feet. and this unit cools it beautifully, so don't be deterred by the fact that the specs indicate this unit is only for rooms up to 150 square feet. All in all, I am very pleased with this unit, although I would have liked to buy one of the less expensive units.

                                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this about 2 months ago because I really needed one. I was looking for one that was easy/simple to use and of course affordable. I found this one and it was the one. The days are getting cooler now but when I would turn it on, it would do wonders in seconds.

                                                    I bought this AC two months ago. So far so good! It cools the space in relatively little time, and the installing it was fairly easy. The only con is the weight and amount of noise it makes.

                                                    CG14, we are pleased to hear that your room air conditioner is cooling the room well and providing you relief from the heat. It is normal to hear ‘high pitch chatter’ a sound of rushing air, gurgle/hiss, pinging or swishing and vibration. These are all normal. For more information of normal sounds during operation, please refer to page 4 in your Owner’s Manual. Verify that the original installation procedures have been followed properly. Pay special attention to any gaskets. If improperly installed, even a high quality, low-noise unit can rattle mercilessly. If you have any further questions, please reach out to us directly. Warm regards, Ruth
