    It was very loud and ran like a refrigerator. Cooling was ok but it was too hard for me to sleep. I returned it.

    Doesn’t do a good job cooling. If I could do it over I’d have bought a traditional window unit. Dehumidifier part of it does work great though.

    Thanks for sharing your experience, Sam! We're sorry to hear that your refrigerator hasn't performed as expected. We recommend adjusting the temperature to a colder setting and that the unit is the correct size for the area. Also, keeping the door as well as the window and drapes closed may help with the cooling performance. If this does not resolve your issues, we’re here to help. Feel free to chat with us online at www.frigidaire.com or via phone at 800-374-4432 Mon-Fri 8:30am – 8:00pm EST. ~Courtney Frigidaire

    Very noisy. Some days it seems like it works better than others. If I could go back I would spend the extra money for a different brand.

    Hi, Tz. We’re sorry to learn you’re not happy with your new portable AC unit. Regarding your concerns about the loud sounds, air movement sounds are normal. If too loud, we recommend setting to a lower fan setting. Also, feel free to check out your model’s Use & Care guide for the different types of sounds your AC may produce (https://images.thdstatic.com/catalog/pdfImages/10/107aa5ea-5414-4e96-924f-90950d186843.pdf). Don’t hesitate to contact us via Live Chat should you need anything. -Derrick Frigidaire

    Quick cooling, does the job. A bit noisier than we would like. Although it'a advertised as portable, moving it takea a bit of work with hooking up the exhaust. But we keep it generally one room, so it works great for us.

    Missing pieces
    Purchased this today. Did not come with product instruction manual/ instructions or remote? Cute air conditioner. Seems to be putting out cold air.

      Great useful Unit
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this ac 6 mos ago bc home heating/air went out. It's can get really hot in Fla. Placed unit in large master bdrm and it only took at couple of hours to cool. It's quiet and the remote makes it easy to control from bed.

        Easy to move
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last summer. It was great as some weekends we had to move it from one room to another. It was very easy

          Great portable a/c, dehumidifier!
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It cools great, and didn't cost anymore then central a/c.

            Clean design. Great performance!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Modified it per instructions (using a very sharp cutting instrument) to have it fit into the window, adjusted the tubing/exhaust and put the remote to work. Happy with the performance -- and especially the low Amperage. I really like that it's attractive and has an easy to ready panel.

              Works great, but a noisier then window unit
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this unit for fall and spring. I’ve used it for 2 weeks and it’s making the room cold which is good. It’s quiet enough for sleeping but a little to noisy for working from home on zoom calls all day of the unit is close to your remote location.

                Good overall
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this item about 6 weeks ago. The main goal was to dehumidify and cool down our home. Both have worked well. The only thing we do not like is the noise and the large tube that has to be connected to the window. We placed it in the living room and the tube definitely stands out but we can live with it.

                  This was exactly what we needed, easy to put together and LORD it keeps the room cold enough that it might be in one room but you sure do feel it in another.

                  This is a great AC unit! It’s a bit more compact than my previous unit, which in my small bedroom makes a big difference, plus I think it looks great. A feature I love that I didn’t see mentioned anywhere, even in the company’s copy, was the “swing” feature of the output vent. It oscillates and makes a big difference in the uniformity of the temp of the whole room, which was an issue for me before.
