No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh no! I am dismayed to hear of your room air conditioner experience, BMH228. It is normal to hear ‘high pitch chatter’ a sound of rushing air, gurgle/hiss, pinging or swishing and vibration. These are all normal. For more information of normal sounds during operation, please refer to page 4 in your Owner’s Manual. Verify that the original installation procedures have been followed properly. Pay special attention to any gaskets. If improperly installed, even a high quality, low-noise unit can rattle mercilessly. If what you are hearing is not addressed, or you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reconnect with us directly by calling Mon-Fri, 8a-8p or Saturday 9a-6p EST @ 877-435-3287 for assistance. We are here for you. Your friendly Frigidaire lady, Ruth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I HAD been a loyal to Panasonic appliances must of my adult life. I reluctantly purchased this unit based on the measurement of our window in our new home. But I'm sold for now. We're in Hawaii and when the humidity is high with no cool tradewinds we wilt in the heat. I thought we would need two units, one for the kitchen and one for the living room but started with one unit in the kitchen. It's been over a month since installation and 24 hour use. The single 12K BTU unit is enough for the kitchen and living room! We have a smaller unit installed in or master BR and used only at night.
Family is settling in cool comfort and dogs are snoozing contentedly. It's energy efficient and not pulling much power especially on economy mode. It's loud when fan is on high, but it is a window unit and to be expected. I'm curious to see the electric bill, but not worried.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this air conditioner approximately two months ago just prior to the NY summer. My previous a/c was a floor unit that struggled to cool my apartment. This unit does so with ease! In fact it stays on energy saver 90% of the time. Importantly while cooling my apartment better my energy bills have decreased. Great Job Frigidaire!
