Summary: BUY IT AT LOWE'S
Comment: This is probably a fine air conditioner. The only reason I am giving it one star is the buying experience on Amazon. Item was shipped through CEVA which, besides being slow, has the worst product tracking I have ever encountered (save for perhaps the US Postal Service). Not only did it take 10 days for the unit to arrive, but when it did, it was totally smashed on two sides. I'm not talking about just dented. It was smashed and broken. Whoever dropped this thing knew it had to be damaged yet allowed it to be delivered anyway. Save yourself the hassle and buy it at Lowe's. The price is lower and you can take it home the same day. I will write a postscript to let you know how the refund process goes with Amazon.
P.S. - Return of the product was relatively hassle free. CEVA came to take it away. The driver said the unit was obviously hit by a forklift and should never have been delivered. I am getting a full refund. In the meantime, I bought a replacement unit at Lowes for less money (even considering sales tax) and it is working fine. Amazon is great, just not for this product.

Summary: Frididaire FAK124R1V
Comment: Very nice product, based on another review, we plugged the unit in and made sure it was good before installing. The install went without a problem. The heavy duty bracket with the nice paded support for the outside of the wall is fast and easy to install. The Unit is great, it cooled half hour house with no problem (1350 sq ft home)

Nothing says home comfort like Frigidaire. Nobody delivers better quality, better service or a broader variety of home comfort products.

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
