Kenwood KW85 Portable Air Conditioner - 8500 BTU Review

If only this gorgeous looking air conditioner could really cool a room!! I am so in love with the stunning sleek design and shiny bright white color. Very simple and professional looking. Sturdy build. Not cheap looking, like others I have seen at Home Depot and Sam's Club.

I bought this for my apartment. It has 8500 BTU. I planned to use it in the living room (13x15 or 208 square feet) during the day, and then the bedroom at night (a bit smaller). I opened the package immediately the night I brought it home, but once I turned the power on for the first time, I was surprised that high power, turned to be little more than a feeble blowing of air. This weak fan, does not allow any of the cold air to actually push out of the unit and cool the room!!! Even if you stood 2 feet from it, it barely blew on you!!! Who would engineer such a thing?

The real test was the next day, when temperatures outside soared to 93 degrees. My unit could not manage to make the room cooler than 88 degrees for the entire day!

So disappointing that such a sleek looking and digital panneled portable a/c could disappoint like this. I read the entire manual, hooked it up properly and even called the company, Kenwood. Kenwood didn't really care. They told me it is discontinued and to just return it!! Strange that customer service was so lackadaisical and uncommitted.

With all the terribly ugly looking portable units out there, I had really wanted this to be my new a/c, but I will have to look elsewhere, and this time for something having perhaps 12000 BTU and a fan that blows like a tornado! Please, someone, design a beautiful looking portable a/c for far under $600 that works! What a pain. I hate the thought of lugging this 80 plus pound machine back to the store.

Fedders AZEY08F2A White 3500/8000 BTU 10.8 EER Heat And Cool Window Air Conditioner with Full Funct Review

Fought like the dickens to get this specific version because only one other on the market has the following:
... Controls on the left
...8000btu or less WITH HEAT (not heat pump, electric heat to warm you)
... Remote

The other costs hundreds more and is a Friedrich.I rarely turn on the AC and didn't want to spend that much more.AAFeders dot com has these in stock as of May 2010.YesINCORRECTLY SPELLED.Delivery cross country is in just days.THE GREAT
Sometimes just a whisper OF QUIET but it can gurgle a bit like a tiny babbling brook.
When I cleaned up I realize this might be because the foam insulation strips were left off.If I find out I'll let you know in an update.
Heat is constant air sound like a white noise machine and though it feels only lukewarm, it actually will take the room to 86d degrees and roast you like a piglet in no time at all.
Cool feels fantastic, but I'm not having a hot day here yet.

THE NOT SO GREAT
The Fan Speed button on the control panel FAILS in every mode except cool.It operates in LOW ONLY unless I use the REMOTE to select Med and High speed fan activity.

NOT as QUIET as I wanted.At 14ft you don't hear it at all but at 12inches to 3ft it is loud enough to disturb low volume tv watching but it doesn't do any annoying groaning, popping or banging as it cycles.I'm a light sleeper and was able to sleep inches from it.

The picture if you see one where the louvers run the full width of the top of the unit THAT IS NOT RIGHT.That's the 10000BTU unit.This version has the older look with small set of controls top left taking up what would be some of the louver space.

The description says the louvers rotate up and down.Well they do rotate UP and back to neutral but NOT DOWN.

I'll post a pic so you can see.Global Industrial dot com had shown it right but is out of stock and took the listing down altogether.Haven't tested the AUTO feature.If it works well it will be a first for any heating or cooling appliance I've bought to actually have even a reasonably accurate thermostat function.

If you are wondering why I give it such a high rating, it is an inexpensive model at $308-315 (don't pay more than $375) and its annoyances/flaws are easy to deal with.

**MEASURING WINDOW OPENING**
Do notice the image added.The minimum height needed for this model is 16.25 inches and 16.5 would make it easier on your installer.It is not the 15+ stated on some store's tech sheet.

When measuring start ABOVE the lip some window frame have.Don't start down on the sill as the installation manual indicates. I did that and if I didn't have an installer who could reconfig my window the unit would have had to be shipped back!

Don't assume your window can go up where the bottom of the edge of the front most pane lines up with the bottom of the upper pane.You may have stops and other window elements that prevent the lower sash from rising that much.Really push it up all the way then measure, don't assume.

Ha Sh CV-PD13PX 13000 Btu Portable Air Conditioner Review

I have a severe case of what is most often referred to as Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS.) It is a medical condition, but not an "allergy" per se because it is not an immune system dysfunction involving histimines, allergens, etc.

I've had this problem for 11 years, but I have used window air conditioners without a problem. In the last month, this is the third portable air conditioner I have tried unsuccessfully.They all seem to emit plastic or chemical vapors of some kind, which gives me headaches that can last for days.I am starting to suspect one reason for this problem is the location of the fan motor.

On most portable units, the motor for the indoor fan is not located on the external chamber, as it is with window units.On window units, the fan that circulates the indoor cold air, is driven by a motor on the external side of a wall that also drives the outside fan. This wall separates the inside cool air circulation from the outside hot air circulation. The vapors coming off that motor never enter the indoor cooled air which enters the room, because the indoor fan is driven by a shaft coming through that wall from the outside side where the motor is, and the vapors from that motor remain outside.

Another thing causing these sensitivity problems for me could be the special plastics and circuit board vapors used in the controls.Again, on window air conditioners they seem to be located where they will get drawn out by air draft to the outside part of the air conditioner.Portables seem to put these controls directly in the path of the indoor cooled air.

On the portable units I've seen so far, there two fans. There is a separate indoor fan exposed to the indoor cooling air. This motor may be gassing off.But I really don't know for sure if this is the reason for the vapors that give me headaches.I only know I cannot use this air conditioner and I am very upset about it because, otherwise, it seems like a very nice, well-engineered unit.

Today, I bought this Sharp CV-PD13PX. The store had it on display yesterday and I was able to give it the sniff test before I took it home. It passed the sniff test in the store. To buy it, I had to pay $50 to become a "member" of the store that sold it, but it seemed worth it. The price was right.Also, there are very few appliance stores and big boxes that sell portable air conditioners in the isolated valley where I live.

Unfortunately, as the unit was running at home I started to get more of a vapor plastic/chemical "new car" smell, especially when I got close to it. I suspect this may be coming from the motor or some other internal components, (not the plastic housing) because it seems to worsen (or at least not improve) as it runs. The vapor problem for me on this unit is not nearly as bad as it was on the 10,000 BTU Sharp that I tried a few days ago.That one was not on store display and did not even pass the "sniff test" when I opened it at home (see my other review.)

I am going to return this one too, because I do have a headache, though not quite as bad as the one I had a few days ago from the other Sharp. I hope the headache does not last for two days like that other one did.

My wife and daughter don't hardly smell it at all but I do, because I am so sensitive to them.This is a great air conditioner, but I am giving it only three stars because I was upset that Sharp has overlooked one detail, rather than making it a totally innocuous unit that people like myself can use.I'm sure they could make it that good if they wanted to, but like I said, this seems like a problem with most, if not all portables at the present time. I just thought Sharp might have been a cut above in that regard. I might still try one or two more portables sold locally before I give up on them, and try to make a window unit work for my apartment with its sliding glass windows.I started with the higher end units.

It seems rediculous for these units to have these "air purifying" high-tech gimmicks, like ionizers, when the materials of the unit itself contaminate the air with less-than-healthy, if not toxic, vapors to breathe with possibly the same effect as second hand smoke (industry and insurance companies seem to turn a blind eye to research in this area.)

As time goes on, check my reviews, if this issue interests you.I really wish someone would make a good basic portable with all the reliability and hygienic (with regard to chemical/plastic vapors)features of a window air conditioner, preferable from aluminum, not plastic.Maybe some company will, or maybe a company already does, but just not sold in my area, or in the USA.

June 6th

Finally decided to give up on portables after I tried a couple of other makes/models, and ran into similar problems, and headaches round the clock.

Then I bought a SHARP AF-S85PX (8,000 BTU, 10.7 EER) window air conditioner and installed it today. It is actually just as quiet or quieter than the Sharp 10,000 or 13,000 BTU Portables and, aside from some initial gassing out, seems to be pretty innocuous with regard to toxic chemical vapor and/or plastic vapor emissions. Even when first opening the box, there was very little, if any toxic emission build-up. Built well and packed excellently. Price was good too. $190. Haven't had a chance to see how it performs on a hot day, but it has a powerful fan and very cold blowing in cool mode. Amazon doesn't have this model for sale yet but when it does, I will have used it a while and will do a review, but my first impression is to give it 5 stars!

It was a lot of work and money to build a hardwood frame planed/fitted into the tracks of a sliding sash, with a plexiglass window above it.I still have to make a tall slim screen to fit next to it on the back track.And I have to do this for 4 windows in this apartment.If I move, I have to do it all over again (hopefully able to use most of the same pieces.) Many people don't have the skill I have, and just suffer in the heat.

I really wish someone would make (or, if already made, just sell in my area) a less toxic portable, just like a window air conditioners with lots of metal (instead of plastic,) and with a minimum of VOC emittingplastic, circuit boards, and motor, exposed to the indoor cooled air.

I'm not the only one with sensitivities.I recently heard from my neighbor of an octogenian woman that got such headaches and allergies to a window air conditioner that she just suffered in the heat with it off, until she moved.

Frigidaire FAA062P7A 6,000 BTU MSII Air Conditioner with Mechanical Controls Review

I recently moved into an old house with no central air. The summers here are mighty humid and hot, with temps of 100 degrees during the worst of it. I purchased this little window unit because it's cheap and easy to install.

After running the air conditioner for about two hours (on high), the bedroom will be fairly cool, but I'm not sure how it's doing on humidity. I never see any water dripping outside, but you can hear the water slurping around in the back of the unit.

However, this 6,000 BTU a/c does NOT get the room cold, cold, cold. My bedroom is 12' by 17' with 9' ceilings and while it keeps it comfy, it doesn't make it bitter cold. I like to wake up in the morning with a little frost on the comforter and bluish lips. This unit can't do that. Even if it runs all night on high, max temp, it never gets the room past "comfy cold."

And it's noisy. I don't mind some white noise so I'm able to sleep even when the thing is blaring away but some folks might be disturbed by the loud fan motor.

For the money, it's a good deal and it'll cool down an average-size room but it's very cheaply made. The unit arrives partially disassembled (which surprised me). The top bar and side pleats have to be installed. The styrofoam shipping blocks in the vents are nearly impossible to get out. Ick.

And those accordian pleats on the side can't possibly last more than a couple years. They're thin and light and I was afraid of breaking them whilst doing the install! (Pass the duct tape, please.) The shroud inside the unit (where the cold air blows) is lined with chincy-looking plastic and styrofoam. Short of making it out of corrugated cardboard, I don't believe it'd be possible to make this unit any more cheaply. But if it lasts for a couple years, I'll be a happy camper.

One last note, this has the LOWEST efficiency rating of any unit on the market. You get what you pay for.

I bought three of these units so I could survive the summer, so I guess I've voted with my wallet. They're cheap, loud, chincy-looking and don't cool all that well, but they'll keep me from going stark-raving mad when the temps start to climb.

Goldstar WG8005R 8,000 BTU Room Air Conditioner, Slide-Out Chassis Review

I purchased this air conditioner for $180.00 new. I used it three times and it just stopped working. There isa circuit breaker on the end of the power supply cord of this unit. It must provide some sort of voltage drop that the unit senses. Anyway, the breaker on the cord didn't just kick, it died. Hence, the unit ceased to function at all. I contacted several part suppliers and the lowest price I found on a replacement cord was $59.00. For that amount I could almost buy a new yet smaller A.C. unit. The price is high, the quality is at the very best, POOR, the parts are outrageous if you can find them, and I will NEVER own another goldstar product. Take my advice and go for a G.E. product.

Goldstar WG1005R 10,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner Review

I was surprised to see they are still making this model.I purchased mine in 2005 and still use it to this day.

It is made by LG which makes great products so don't be fooled by the generic Goldstar name.

This A/C is fairly light and is very easy to install.It is rather quiet, I haven't seen an A/C that can match this one in that aspect.

This A/C pumps out some cold air and has the power to go above and beyond its recommended use.This might be a 10000 BTU A/C but has the heart of a 12000 BTU A/C.

I use this as back-up for my LG 15000BTU model in a 500 Square foot room.When my LG reaches a certain room temperature I shut it off and turn this one on.On economode it will maintain the temp in the room and cut the operating noise of my LG to about 1/2.

In the past I used this to solely cool down 2 rooms equalling about 400 square feet.I maintained a 65 degree temp, it took about 2 to 3 hours to reach that goal on high speed but easily maintained it on the economode for the rest of the day.

It is small and fits in windows most A/C's can't, which is a big plus and will keep you from having to go with the stand up models.If I did not damage the side slides this would be in my bedroom and not being used as back up in a smaller window in my living room.

This is perfect for the bedroom or TV room.I have never used this A/C for anything smaller than 400 square feet and can only imagine its efficiently in the smaller room it was designed for.

This is a best buy when it comes to low priced A/C's, it is cheap, light weight and very efficient, you can't go wrong.

Frigidaire FAC104P1A Compact II 10,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

I read two reviews for this air conditioner that complained about noise.I purchased the next, newer model, the FAC105P1A, and was hoping the noise problem was fixed, but it wasn't. Not only was it loud in the room where I installed it, but it was also loud in the room next to it and on the floor above. Needless to say I returned it. It wasn't just the noise of the cool air being blown--it had a whining, humming noise that drove us crazy. Stay away from Frigedaire.

Soleus Air PE2-08R-62, Evaporative Portable Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier and Fan, 8,000 BTU's, White with Blue cover Review

I cannot get a window unit due to my window size, and this unit came with a window kit that fit my windows. It worked absolutely perfect for 2 months. Then, on a particularly hot day, the bucket filled up with water and the unit shut off. I drained all the water, which is an absolute pain in the rear to do due to the drain being less than half an inch off the floor. The unit leaks water like a faucet ever since, all over the floor. There is really no effective way to use it anymore. I ordered a different brand that doesn't have water leakage issues. I should have listened to all the reviews I read. I practically paid several hundred dollars for a few months use. What a waste. The unit cools great, but what good is that with water all over your carpet? Stay away from this product.UPDATE: The unit only leaks when moved. If the water reservoir fills up, and must be drained, the unit must be moved to do so because the drain plug is literally right on the floor and there is no pan or container you can get under it. The reservoir will fill eventually, the unit will have to be drained, will have to be moved, will leak. Once all the water leaks out that is going to leak the unit works great until its time to drain again. Like I said, it took 2 months before I had to drain, but this process was a major PIA. I would avoid this unit, but I still gave in another star because it does not leak except during the drainage process.

Frigidaire FAC106P1A Compact II 10,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

I was worried about buying this, because some reviews said it was noisy, but it's not bad at all.If you buy a window AC you can't expect it to be silent - I find it completely tolerable.I can even stand in front of it & talk to people on the phone without a problem.The fan is powerful, too.I never put it higher than low & it cools my apartment very well.I find the timer & other features very useful, especially remote sensing.I am really happy I bought this.

My place is basically an M layout, with the AC in the farthest leg, & I can go in the other rooms without needing a fan.I'm still impressed by that.If you are shopping around because you're price-conscious, this is the best 10,000 btu deal you are going to get - everywhere else charges at least $50 of shipping & frequently more for the AC itself.You probably want a friend to help you install it, as it weighs 83 lbs.

This AC has single-handedly made the hot, sticky, humid NYC summers totally bearable & I can't recommend it highly enough!

Bought this unit to replace an old A/C in the bedroom, and I can't believe how noisy it is.

Even at the lowest fan speed it is extremely loud. Using the energy saver feature the unit is bound to wake you up every time it comes on. And I am not spoiled...I live on a noisy street in Manhattan.

NewAir AC-12000E 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner With R410A Refrigerant Review

I have always used an evaporative cooler since I live in a low-humidity environment. It works really well unless it get over 96 and this year was especially warm so we decided to get an AC for the bedroom, the warmest room. I did lots of comparing, reviewing and trying to figure out exactly what would end up being the best value. I saw this product and it was something I hoped would work.

It came quickly. The company sends you the FedEx number so you can track it and know when to expect it. After opening it, I was glad we went portable instead of window unit. It looks pretty cool and isn't too huge. The thing for the exhaust in the window looks good when viewed from outside the house. The air comes out very cool and gives instant relief. It isn't loud. The remote is nice - I didn't think we would use but we do. Not having to empty the water is a handy feature also.

I am really happy with this AC. :)

Sharp CV-P10MX Portable Air Conditioner 9,500 BTU, White Review

I just purchased this Sharp CV-P10MX from Bed Bath and Beyond for [...]- 20% coupon + 8.25% tax - 5% bonus CASHBACK rebate for using my Discover card. Total net purchase price for me was about [...]. That's the best deal I could find and I didn't have to wait for shipping. I got the A/C unit today.

The unit is big. Look at the measurements carefully before purchasing. You need enough space right next to your window for this unit. Even though this is a portable unit with casters to move it around, the exhaust hose setup is more or less semi-permanent. Once installed it's not meant to be taken off very easily. So keep that in mind. Once you've installed it, you essentially can't use your window again to bring in fresh air--not without taking down the exhaust hose installation.

Don't get me wrong. I LIKE this portable unit quite a bit. I do solidly recommend purchasing this unit if you need a portable AC. For what it does, it does it well. The cooling performance is SOLID! Don't listen to other users with similar NON-Sharp units complaining about it not working or not bringing the temp down enough. They either have faulty units or didn't install the exhaust hose properly. These kind of AC units WORK and they work quite well for what they are designed to do. BUT there are shortcomings with these designs. For one, we have blinds AND curtains installed on our windows. With this portable AC installed on this set of windows, our blinds and curtains become essentially useless. Please keep that in mind. Also, it's a real pain to install the exhaust hosing contraption properly into your window frame and to make sure the insulation is properly insulated. It's not impossible but a real pain.

Another bad design about this particular SHARP unit is that there's no display on the AC unit itself. ONLY the remote has all the info/stats. So you can't tell what's going on with the unit just by looking at it. For example, you can't tell the current temp--or at least what the AC unit thinks is the current temp. You can only set the desired temp. on the remote unit. Additionally, you can't tell what setting the fan is currently running at just by looking at the unit. You have to go check your remote, and even then, you don't really know what the real fan speed is currently running at, only that you've set your remote to a certain setting. If you don't point the remote directly at the unit, it may show that you're running at high speed but really you're running at low or medium speed. It's a bad design pure and simple. The AC unit itself should have a display with all pertinent info AND it should have buttons to allow you to change the settings of the AC unit. As it stands, you can ONLY turn the unit on and off on the unit itself. Everything else is controlled by the remote. Make damn sure you don't lose your remote or else it essentially becomes useless to customization.

Another bad design is that the louvers ONLY automatically adjust UP and DOWN. For side to side adjustment, you have to MANUALLY adjust it by going to the unit itself and using your hands to adjust it. What this means is that you get auto action of up and down but not side to side. If your room is very small, it may suffice for just this up/down action, but if you have a bigger room, you're going to get frustrated with the lack of automatic side to side movement of the louvers. Again, bad design.

One of the biggest reason for getting the SHARP units is how quiet they are suppose to be in the lowest setting--supposedly 36 db--however that is just the sound of the fan operating by itself--meaning when the compressor isn't working to produce the actual COLD air. When the AC unit has kicked in with the compressor, the sound, even at the lowest setting, is not very quiet. It's definitely not something you can fall asleep to unless you get adjusted to the sound. Having said that, the Sharp will be the quietest of all the portable AC units out there. I've done ample research before purchasing this unit and this is by far the most quiet unit on the market today. So if you want the quietest machine, this is the unit to purchase but don't be fooled into thinking that it's truly quiet. It's NOT. It'll take some getting use to before one can go to sleep without ear plugs with this unit on. (I've been using ear plugs since my college dorm days to fall asleep so it doesn't bother me one bit but it will bother others initially I'm certain.)

All in all, I solidly like this unit and I believe it's one of the best out there. I am quite satisfied with this purchase. It will absolutely cool your room. If it doesn't, you've either installed it incorrectly or you have a faulty unit. If installed properly, it WILL work very well. But there are shortcomings--described above--to these portable AC units, by nature of their design, not isolated to SHARP units only. Realize these shortcomings before purchasing these kind of portable AC machines and you won't be very disappointed once you get it home and installed.

I know when the next heat wave comes this way, I'll be sitting happily in my bedroom surfing the net with a very "cool" smile and appreciating my Sharp CV-P10MX very much. :)

(I would give this machine 5 stars if they improved upon the user design. Otherwise very happy with the cooling performance of this Sharp CV-P10MX!)

Frigidaire FAC124P1A Compact II 12,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

I ordered this unit from Amazon during the two week plus heat wave here in southern California when it remained at over 110 degrees during the day and 85 degrees at night. During this time our old 10,000 BTU Sears unit died and you couldn't buy, beg, borrow or steal a suitable replacement in SoCal. When we received this Frigidaire, I immediately installed it and ran it nonstop for almost two weeks. The installation was easy and the Frigidaire easily outperformed the Sears on its best day. The continually variable fan speed which resets as needed during the "auto cool" setting is really effective at cooling a room.

Probably the best feature of this a/c, besides its outstanding performance, is its compact size. We live in an ancient house and only have 21 3/8 inches of window opening space. The Frigidaire is only 19 1/8 inches wide, an inch less than the 10,000 BTU Sears a/c it replaced. I am aware that there are "casement" style a/c units available for narrow window openings. Unfortunately, after extensive investigation of these units, it seems that they are less fully featured than the non casement a/c units.

If this Frigidaire is ever available on Amazon again, I'll buy a spare. I might even buy two.

Frigidaire FAA084P7A MS II 8,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

I bought 2 of these last spring because we don't have central air or anything else to keep us cool. They were really worth it. Not only did they keep us cool but they didn't bump up the bills too much. They are really noisy though. It's hard to hear music or tv above it. The one in the bedroom was great though because my husband like to sleep with white noise anyway. Came with a remote control which is nice if you are in bed and need to change anything. But you need to kind of memorize where the buttons are and what they do because it doesn't light up. Kept us really cool, love them.

Frigidaire FAA065P7A 6,000 BTU MSII Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

A large brick and mortar store sells these exclusively at very low prices, and Consumer Reports had many nice things to say about them, so I bought three of them.Oh yes, three.

I remember when air conditioners weighed, minimally, sixty pounds.These weigh about forty pounds, and that makes them much easier to carry, place on a window sill, and move while positioning for the season.

They also draw slightly less than 15 amps, and have a fuse breaker built into the plug, which may or may not slightly mitigate tripped circuits or blown fuses in your home.It also starts with the compressor off for the first three minutes, so the amperage draw isn't high enough to trip a circuit.This is particularly consumer-friendly engineering.

The remote control is very nice and actually quite helpful for the kids' rooms; I can change settings without trying to creep past them at night, in case the rooms gets too cold or hot.

The units are quiet and do a very good job of colling down a room, even a 16x10 south-facing second-floor room with three windows.There are two or three issues you need to accept.

One, the energy efficient mode is probably very efficient, but somewhat intrusive.It will cycle the fan off and be perfectly quiet, then kick back on with air or cooled air as it needs it.In theory this is not a bad idea, but if it cycles every two minutes, it might keep you awake at night with noise/quiet/noise/quiet.

Two, the condensation pan does not have outlet holes, so you will be retaining a half-inch or so of water for the summer season.I do not like this at all, and removing a unit from a window means understanding this and attempting to drain it in some clever way before bringing it indoors.There should be outlet holes, period.

Three, the screw-type air deflectors are sort of hit and miss with directional quality.In general, no air conditioner manufacturer really does this right.The directional vents should be modeled after automobile air vents, with focused airflow and very generous coverage arcs.

The units are very efficient (10.7) and inexpensive, and Frigidaire will stand behind them for five years.I liked them enough to buy three, and would probably buy them again.A final note, the 8,000 BTU version is too loud for a bedroom.I had to return it and get a 6,000 BTU unit, which was fine.

Frigidaire FAX054P7A Unit Air Conditioner Review

We now have 3 different air conditioners in our apartment that we've acquired over the past year in New York and this one is by far the best.

Besides this unit, we have a cheap manual 5,000 BTU unit (Daewoo) and a $300 7,500 BTU SPT portable air conditioner.The Daewoo doesn't have an automatic shut off or an energy saver temperature control function like the Frigidaire unit and its almost twice as loud.The STP, though quieter and energy efficient, is a BIG unit that takes up quite a bit of space in our bedroom (65 pounds, roughly 3 feet tall).Though its more energy efficient (An EER of over 12!), it does not have an automatic shutoff (just a timer) or a remote control like the Frigidaire.

The Frigidaire is a really elegant unit and perfect for a room with a television.If one of our other units breaks, I'll definitely replace it with another one of these!

Frigidaire FAX052P7A Window Unit Air Conditioner Review

Had new windows installed, worked and looked great, but the openings were smaller than expected.Wanted a window air conditioner for the living room.Found one at Amazon that would fit, and the reviews were good.I wasn't prepared for how well it worked, however.This little guy pumps out an amazing amount of cold air.I think the secret is, it is an older unit that was made before the energy conserving engineers got a hold of it.Maybe I should feel bad that I am not helping the environment as much as I could, but keeping me cool during a hot and humid August, somehow made the guilt go away.

If you want the most bang for your buck, buy this unit.If it can keep my living room cool, it will turn a small bedroom into a meat locker, no sweat.
