VERY Quiet, but...
on July 19, 2020
Posted by: Dee516
I’ve had this AC for a few weeks. I purchased it for the WiFi capabilities and the decibel rating. It is very quiet, as compared to other models. Unfortunately, the app rarely works and defeats the purpose of having the WiFi. I feel cheated in that regard. Also, I have been unable to reduce the humidity the way I’ve been able to with other units. I have it on auto mode, as suggested, and though the compressor is on more than off, the humidity doesn’t drop much. I’m wondering if I need to have the water plug removed from the bottom to reduce the humidity. I’m extremely frustrated!

Hello, Dee516! Thanks for reaching out to us with your concerns. I reviewed your file and see your concerns are being addressed regarding the app. An air conditioner can dehumidify your home, but it isn’t the most cost effective way to go about dehumidifying. Please check out the link below to dehumidifiers we have available. Please reach back out to us if you need further assistance. https://www.frigidaire.com/Home-Comfort/Dehumidifiers/ Bianca
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this unit two weeks ago and it was easy to install. When I first powered it on, it was quiet on high. I thought wow, I’m in love however later on I switched the unit to low and heard some noise, nothing to bad at first but as the days go on the noise gets louder and louder. When the compressor turns on it sounds like an engine or a small plane. It wakes me from my sleep. I’m quiet disappointed and frustrated especially that the unit was not cheap. Is there a way to eliminate or decrease the sound.

I got this AC three weeks ago and chose these specs because supposedly I would be “quiet”. However this AC has a rattling sound and it’s impossible to sleep without earplugs. I’m so disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just received this air conditioner and installed the unit in a snap. I replaced my very loud Lg unit with this one. The new one is very quiet. I do have to say that the air flow from the new one is far less than the old Lg, however the new Frigidaire cooled the two rooms with ease. The Frigidaire is designed to cool 350 square feet so be sure that you plan to buy more than one if you are cooling multiple zones. I would recommend using this unit for a large room or two smaller rooms with a common open area between the two rooms such as a open doorway.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I already had a Frigidaire air conditioner and like it so much I chose Frigidaire again. This model is extremely quiet, light weigh for easy installation, and works very well. One of the secrets is to buy the proper BTU for the area of your room.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Expected more from this AC unit, especially with the price they're charging for it. Dislike the following:
The AC defaults to a factory setting every time you turn it on, and not the setting based on the last use. So you have to adjust your setting each time you turn it on. The AC switches from Cool to Fan frequently and it not quiet when does so. The AC makes a loud hissing noise when in Cool mode. Apparently this is normal as per the instruction manual. Wifi setup and the app is an absolutely nightmare to navigate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is by far the quietest A/C I've ever owned! At first I was a bit frustrated with the WiFi capability as I experienced some issues with the app, however, after I called they Smart help line I was able to get it resolved and it was smooth sailings. If it's a quiet AC you're looking for, this is it.
