this didn’t even last two summers before it broke. Pathetic. The control panel suddenly froze and the only way to turn it on and off was to unplug it and never change the setting. Didn’t have time to investigate getting it repaired since it is the middle of a deadly heat wave and had to replace immediately

Hi, disappointedinbrooklyn.
Thank you for your feedback and rating.
I feel awful to hear about your experience with our 12,000 BTU Window-Mounted Room Air Conditioner.
I understand the urgency in replacing during this unusually hot summer month, however, please reach out to us whenever your unit is not performing as designed; some of our models typically come with a 2-5 year seal system warranty.
We can be reached at 888 203 1389 and open Monday through Friday from 8am-8pm EST/Saturday from 9am-6pm EST.
I have another Frigidaire AC in our bedroom that works great so we got a bigger version for downstairs. After getting it set up it didn't get cold. It blew out cool air but not cold. We returned it and got another one thinking the first was a dud.. nope. Second one out of the box doesn't work. No matter what setting or temperature it was on it didn't get any colder.

This is the second of these models I purchased. It did not work out of the box. Powers on, fan on, compressor on but no cold air. This one was replacing a previous purchase of the same model that was also dead out of the box. Frigidaire did offer to refund the first one so we ordered a replacement but it had the same problem. It doesn't work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 912-ish square foot 2 bedroom ranch. In 6-2017 I purchased this for the primary purpose of conditioning the living room and kitchen aprox 510 sq ft. The unit is installed in the kitchen and even on a 90+ degree day it keeps the kitchen and living room comfortable and the rest of the house is tolerable. Even under these conditions the unit would still cycle and not run continuous. I use all Frigidaire air conditioners and the 6,000 btu in the bedroom takes up the slack . The unit might be a little loud but that is why they are called window shakers, and I find the volume quite acceptable. The remote sensing feature is great, it allows me to have the remote in the living room pointed at the unit to insure that I achieve my desired temperature in that space. This year I purchased the 2018 12,000 btu model FFRE1233U1 to replace this in the house. I have moved this unit (FFRE1233S1) to a room above my garage aprox 576 sq ft. to replace an older Frigidaire 8,000 btu unit that I have moved to my bedroom. In this open space it is performing excellent, perhaps running a little long to initially cool the space, but by the book it is undersized so that is expected and much better than the 8,000 btu unit I had. Two reasons that I choose the 12,000 btu rather than a larger 15,000 btu which would be better for my applications... First; The amp draw would put the circuit close the breaker limit. Second; I set the requirement of weight that I have to be able to install/remove and carry up and down stairs alone. The 15,000 btu unit weighs in over 110 lbs and the 12,000 is around 75. If this lasts me as long as my 6 and 8,000 btu units which are 6 years old and still running strong I will be very happy.
