Others say...
"A great option for small rooms and cheap people" I got this air conditioner last week during a brutal heat wave and it did not disappoint. Like most air conditioners, it was a bit of a pain to install (took about 15 minutes, not terrible), and it doesn't quite sit in my window properly (all air conditioners seem to assume a certain layout of panes and such, but my window is not quite typical, so it's a problem for any A/C). Nevertheless, it works just fine. It is a little loud, but I had no problem watching TV or sleeping with it on. The high fan mode may pose a problem for more tranquil or sensitive souls, though. My only actual issue with it that I've found so far is that the EnergySaver mode is distracting. It's designed to vary fan speed and cooling to maintain a temperature you dictate without wasting energy. I like the idea, so I tend to use this setting. The problem is that it seems to change the fan speed so frequently that it's somewhat distracting. Maybe most people wouldn't notice, but I'm not used to a change of humming pitch every five minutes, so I always notice it. Relatively speaking, though, this is a minor issue and not one that is cause for real concern. Overall, I'm very satisfied so far with the unit. I know some people have an issue with the controls (not that hard to figure out) and the remote (clunky but easy), but I have no such problems. I would definitely recommend this item for anyone with a small room (12x12 or less) and simple cooling needs. Anyone who needs something fancy or sleek, fork over the extra hundred bucks and get a more serious A/C. Otherwise, this one isn't a bad choice. "Even Too Loud For Drunk Sleep!" I couldn't even pass out this air conditioner is so loud! I got it last summer for my unbearably hot college apartment and everything went swimmingly. It was a little loud, like the air flow was loud, but it was kind of a soothing noise. Now, luckily a little less than a year later, it is SUPER loud, it revs up, rattles, and rolls. It kind of sounds like a dishwasher disposal. I called up Frigidaire and they said that my model is unrepairable and must be replaced. Luckily I didn't procrastinate on this because my one-year warranty is almost up! I barely recommend this air conditioner. If you are desperate get a warranty and plan on having it replaced. It's even too loud for drunk sleep! "good airconditioner for a good price" I bought this airconditioner at the same time as a Sharp, hoping that the Sharp would be 'library quiet` which is not the case. The Frigidaire is as quiet or loud as the sharp and $100,00 cheaper. I can recommend the frigaire to anyone who needs an effective room airconditioner. "Frigidaire FAA055P7A Window Air Conditioner Unit" My husband did his homework when he researched window a/c units and Consumer Reports rated this and the 8000btu unit very high compared to other ones. Whatever someone earlier said about it breaking, we ran ours 24/7 the whole summer and well into the fall '07 and it never gave *any* problems and didn't cost a fortune to operate. He checked the EER rating and this had one of the highest for the money. Noisy? I don't know, but then I'm not expecting a decent window a/c to be so quiet you don't know it's on. That's just crazy. It's a very affordable unit for the reliability and energy efficiency. "Pretty good" We bought this air conditioner after our old one (of 14 years) conked out. It does not cool (freeze) the air, as the last one did. That could be good for some, bad for others. It does cool off the air, but we still have to sleep without a blanket.

What our customer's say! "Not worth the money", Air conditioner works fine but the noise is unacceptable. Plus it's made in China. After the summer I am going to sell in search of a quieter unit. The unit is in my bedroom and when I watch TV I have to increase the volume considerably to override the noise of the unit. We had a wind driven rain storm a few days ago and the rain actually came thru the unit into the bedroom. I was mopping up water for a while. This unit is not worth the money. I am searching for a unit that is manufactured in the United States (if there are any). I was told that Friedrich was made stateside. So I'll check them out. "Dr.G.Ma", this was a good air unit, only on real humid days it leaves something to be desired. I am giving it to a family member and getting a larger unit for next year. "sounds like a jackhammer", worse than just extremely noisy. I installed it in my old wood house and the vibration sounded (and felt, it shook the whole house) literally like a jackhammer. the unit I had before, a panasonic, purred quietly in the same window. worst purchase ever "The price at amazon is much higher then any other online line store", Its nice A/C. I was able to find the same A/C at 30% less then what I paid at Amazon. "Priced well above MSRP right now!", Didn't buy it here, but this is a very good window AC. It cooled down our room in about 10 minutes (and the compressor doesn't turn on for three minutes). As for loudness, it's no louder than another larger AC I had before. So I think it's fine. I know we're not supposed to talk about prices here but pricing the unit 30% higher than the MSRP plus shipping is rediculous. If you SHOP around (hint hint, add a dot com to the all-caps word there) you can get it for MSRP + free shipping. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Nice small AC unit ", Product was in good shape, easy to install and works very well in smaller rooms. Nice quality and the remote is awesome. "Frigidaire FAA055P7A Air Conditioner with Remote Electronic Controls", I bought this over the summer and used it extensively in my bedroom (14' x 15'). It did a good job at cooling the room from 90F to 70F during hot nights. A little loud so you have to have it on lowest speed if you want to sleep with it running (should start cooling the room an hour or so before going to bed in order to switch from high to low when turning in). Remote is helpful but has no display for the current room temperature. Very easy to mount and remove (which I do during winter since even the best insulation still lets a lot of cold air in). Excellent energy consumption (with two ACs - both Frigidair,the large one 10000 BTU - in the apartment running almost every day, my bill was below $100 every month, including gas). "Great performance, great filtration", Here in Montana we don't usually need A/C, but the last few summers have been really hot. Add to that the horribly air quality from forest fires, and this year I just had to buy one. I debated long and hard, and am very pleased with the one that I chose. The remote is handy, saving me steps that can really add up. It was simple to mount in the window, with the help of a strong young man. The filter has done a wonderful job of helping me with my asthma and allergies. Even now that the air looks and smells clean, I can still tell the difference with the filter on vs. off. "Small Air Conditioner With Good Features But Not The Quietest", Before buying this unit I looked at many web sites trying to find the quietest small (about 6,000 BTU) window air conditioner. There is very little information on the internet on how quiet these products are. And of course, individual reviews are subjective. Based on this unit being recommended by Consumer Reports I went ahead and bought it from Amazon for about $165, and used 1 day Amazon prime shipping. This was a great deal as far as the shipping! The unit ships only in its own box, and the box was pretty banged up. But the unit did not appear damaged. Installation was easy, and I was able to do it without any tools. You do not necessarily have to screw the unit in to the window. The side panels also attach without any tools which was clever. You can operate the unit using good tactile buttons both on the machine and remote control. The temperature can be adjusted in 1 degree intervals, and there are 3 fan speeds. The unit beeps for evry key press, but there is not a different tone when you reach the end of a menu range. For example, the minimum or maximum temperature. However, these menus do not wrap which is a nice bonus. The unit has a feature called something like auto fan speed which adjusts the fan based on the difference between actual room temperature and the set point. However, there are only 3 fan speeds. I imagined this auto fan feature would be more like a volume control on an audio device. But really, its just three fan speeds. If there were more fan speeds perhaps the unit could run quieter. The unit has a number of other features including an on/off timer, sleep function which raises the temp 2 degrees after two hours for a preset sleeping time, and a negative ion generater. Like many units of this size, the unit seems to largely circulate air from the inside rather than giving you fresh outdoor air. The air blows out from two vents on the front of the unit, and more air blows out of the right hand side vent. The luvers only allow you a minimal amount of air flow control. I personally prefer the units that blow the air more out of the top, but this may depend on the room and your preferences. The compresser is quiet, but I did not find the fan to be very quiet. Again, though, I was looking for the "quietest" unit on the market. The unit is not very loud, but not very quiet either. I wish we had a way of measuring this, because again this is subjective. But in the end, I still wanted to find a quieter unit. Eventually I purchassed the LG 6,000 BTU Low Profile Window Air Conditioner Model LP6000ER ac unit from Best Buy for $200. I live near a Best Buy so did not have to pay shipping. Unfortunately, Amazon does not sell this unit directly only through resellers that do not participate in the Amazon Prime program. This LG model was one of the only units (if not the only one) that scored 5 out of 5 for quiet operation in Consumer Reports. The above LG unit is quieter than the one I am reviewing here. I just moved the LG in to my room, and the Frigidaire has just been relligated in to the guest room. If I had to buy another ac unit right now, I would buy the LG unit instead of the Frigidaire. The LG unit seems to be the quietest, but if you know of a unit that is quieter please feel free to email or add a comment. The LG unit also has a bracket which apparently would allow you to open the window while the unit is installed. I'll write up a review on the LG page shortly. In short the Frigidaire is a solid feature rich model with a great EER, but not the quietest small window air conditioner out there. You also may not be able to open the window when it is installed. The unit does a good job at cooling a room, but may do better (with air at top of room) if air was sent up instead of straight out the front. We also need a lot more detailed web information and reviews on window air conditioners. Please feel free to post your comments and questions. The appliance company AM Royal has a lot of units and they also ship. In most stores, the salespeople really are not trained on these units, and know very little detailed information. One salesperson told me that the window ac unit has become almost like a disposable item. Those looking for quiet units may also want to check out units by Sharp. "works well", This is my first window A/C so I don't have anything to compare it with, but I'm happy with it. It's not capable of cooling more than one room of my apartment, but it does a very good job in that room. It has absolutely saved me from the summer swelter of NYC. A big plus is if you're an Amazon Prime member you don't have to pay the shipping costs on what is a heavy box. |
