Sharp EnergyStar Window Air Conditioner 6,000 BTU Review

Sharp EnergyStar Window Air Conditioner 6,000 BTUI couldn't be more pleased with my Sharp AF-S60FX-A air conditioner. It does an excellent job of cooling a small room, like my 11' x 11' bedroom. Please take note that I said SMALL ROOM. A 5000 or 6000 BTU a/c is the smallest size air conditioner made. It is only suitable for a small room. Kinda logical when you think about it, isn't it? A previous reviewer actually believed that "250 sq ft" nonsense that the manufacturer claimed! Such numbers are always totally bogus. A tiny bit of research would tell anyone that. Isn't that what the internet is for? In my 11' x 17" living room, I have a 8500 BTU a/c. If I lived in a hotter climate, I might need 10000 BTU. But back to my 6000 BTU Sharp. When I sit so that my head is midway between the a/c and a twin window fan the noise is close to being equal in volume. The a/c is a lot lower in frequency but only a little louder. (I only did that for a little while to compare noise levels, you understand. I don't think that would be a very good way to cool the outdoors and reverse global warming. Now if it was a solar powered a/c...) The thermostat goes all the way down to 60 degrees, which I find to be more than cool enough for comfortable sleeping. The remote control works well even if it's not directly in front of the a/c, which is handy. The thermostat is different from my other a/c (also a Sharp, but about 15 years old). It's only a thermostat when you first turn it on or adjust it. After a few seconds, it's a thermometer and tells you the actual temperature in the room. Both go up and down in 2 degree increments. There is no "energy saver" mode. Energy saver means that the fan and compressor both turn off if you press the extra button, instead of just the compressor. I have this energy saver on my living room a/c, but it wakes me up if I try to snooze in my chair. Since fans don't use much electricity compared to the compressor, I don't imagine much energy is saved. This a/c is very energy efficient compared to others. If I ever put an a/c in the back bedroom, I won't hesitate to buy this model.
