We live in an older house and thought we couldn't keep it cool but our new air conditioner has done the trick with the help of one fan for an out of the path room. We like it.
I upgraded the air conditioner in our kitchen from an 8,000 BTU from Frigidaire to this 12,000 unit. I also have a 12,000 BTU Frigidaire unit in our living room. The living room unit is not very loud (3 years old) but this one sounds like I am flying in the back of an airplane at all times! Wish it was as quiet as the one in my living room so I could give it a 5-star rating...
I bought the unit last month. I bought this unit because my old frigidaire unit died last year and i loved it. So far this unit is ice cold very quickly.
Have a pretty large room and I needed to fit a unit into a 20" width window opening. This fit easily as it is about 19" width and it is the biggest BTU in its' size. Cools off room very quickly and has great features. This cools off my room 20 feet x 14 feet! Fantastic buy!
