Summary: Great AC & the best deal I could find online
Comment: I was worried about buying this, because some reviews said it was noisy, but it's not bad at all. If you buy a window AC you can't expect it to be silent - I find it completely tolerable. I can even stand in front of it & talk to people on the phone without a problem. The fan is powerful, too. I never put it higher than low & it cools my apartment very well. I find the timer & other features very useful, especially remote sensing. I am really happy I bought this.
My place is basically an M layout, with the AC in the farthest leg, & I can go in the other rooms without needing a fan. I'm still impressed by that. If you are shopping around because you're price-conscious, this is the best 10,000 btu deal you are going to get - everywhere else charges at least $50 of shipping & frequently more for the AC itself. You probably want a friend to help you install it, as it weighs 83 lbs.
This AC has single-handedly made the hot, sticky, humid NYC summers totally bearable & I can't recommend it highly enough!

Summary: Very nice unit
Comment: Had It installed in about 20 minutes, ran it for about 10 minutes and had to turn it down cause it got too cold. The noise isnt much more than a swamp cooler going at full blast but its soooooo much nicer on the muggy monsoon nights.

Summary: You paid how much??
Comment: First of all, thank you to all reviewers, it helped me in my decision to purchase one, just bought it but havn't installed yet. I am a little confused at the cost of this unit through Amazon, 280.00? I thought they were very comparable in pricing, like I said I just bought one at Lowes for 208.00 (every day price, and in stock)
Hmmm, the things that make you scratch your head huh?

Summary: outstanding 2 years still ice cold
Comment: I bought this two years ago. I love it. Doesn't raise my eletric bill one bit. I just put it on energy saver, auto cool 72 degrees and it keeps my den where i watch tv cold. Its on rite now. Its not whisper quiet but so what. I wouldn't say it real loud either. You will have to turn up the TV a little. The bottom line is this. Bought it 2 years ago and its still going strong and its 90 outside today i'm typing its set at 72 and its clicking on and off. Can be tricky getting the fins in but once you figure that out installation is a breeze. Oh it also has a light which lights up when filter needs to be clean. I have never ran it just on cool because i prefer auto cool, energy saver. Don't listen to other reviews. Well actually i haven't read them but i'm giving it to you straight.

Summary: Shiver - Sweat Cycles
Comment: I bought this AC because of its power and energy efficiency, but those two qualities are exactly what make me hate it now. When it's on a cooling cycle, it noisily blasts arctic air until it hits the targeted temperature, then it completely shuts off! No fan, no blower, just off. Silence. Until the room warms up and the unit roars back to life. And it is LOUD!
I'm not sure what the actual temperature spread is between cycles, but, as this unit is in my bedroom, I spend the night alternately sweating when it's off, and shivering when it's on. Add in the huge noise differential between when it's running and when it's not, and it adds up to a very unpleasant night. I despise this AC.

Nothing says home comfort like Frigidaire. Nobody delivers better quality, better service or a broader variety of home comfort products. With units ranging from 5,000 BTUH to 28,500 BTUH they provide quiet, efficient and reliable air conditioners for years of trouble-free service. Most included a remote thermostat, clean air filtration and low voltage start-up to add to consumer comfort, convenience and safety. And with their ENERGY STAR qualification for efficiency, they can provide comfort and savings for any room in your home. You expect all this from Frigidaire... and they deliver. How to Choose a Room Air Conditioner Compared to large capacity central units, room air conditioners have several advantages. The initial cost of a room air conditioning unit is significantly lower than the cost of central air. Because room air conditioners are designed for cooling small spaces, operating costs are reduced. And, room air conditioners can provide personalized temperature and humidity controls that central systems cannot. Calculating Cooling Capacity Cooling capacity is the critical factor in properly selecting a room air conditioner. Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) and typical models will range in capacity from 5,000 BTUs to 28,500 BTUs. Choosing an undersized unit will overwork the unit and it will not cool properly. Choosing an oversized unit will cost more to buy and operate and it will not dehumidify properly. We can help you to calculate capacity. Be prepared to provide specific information on: Room Dimensions A simple floor plan to show the location of doors and north-facing windows The number of people it will serve Sources of heat such as lamps, TV and appliances An explanation of what's above the intended room Your insulation provisions Cooling Capacity by Room Size Measure the length and width of the area to be cooled. Multiply the length by the width to determine square footage or square meters. Locate the room size in the chart
