[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this unit to replace a portable AC we had been using that wasn’t really cutting it. Although they are both 12,000 BTU, this unit cools much more efficiently. The air is ice cold coming out of the blowers! The economy mode “checks in” less frequently, every ten minutes or so, compared to our portable that was every few minutes. I like this feature and it also cools the room (about 500 sqft) quicker and better! So far so good. This Frigidaire is living up to its reputation. My only complaint is that the back of the unit has two dents that occurred during the shipment. This is clearly a package engineering issue at Frigidaire as many others have listed this as a complaint. Other than that, very satisfied customer here!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought about a dozen window AC units through the years, and this is the quietest and most efficient of all of them. It seems to cool even better than the 15,000 btu units I have owned. We have had several 100 degree days since I installed this unit, and it has done the job for a large combined room with the fan running on low speed.
