TwinTemp Room Air Conditioners Review

This unit works great both for cooling and heating the space. Had to go with the window install since I live in an apartment, and while the installation was easy, I'm glad I don't have to move the thing twice a year. Unit runs relatively quietly in both heating and cooling modes. As a little bit of good advice, be mindful of how much you're loading on a single breaker... learned that lesson the hard way.

Friedrich X-Star : XQ10L10A 10,000 BTU Room Air Conditioner Remote Control, 180 CFM Circulation Review

I shoulddisclose that I bought the next sized unit up from this--the xq12L10a--and kept it for a week and returned it for this unit.My complaint with the larger sized unit was that I felt like I was living with a gorrilla or more aptly a Pratt and Whitney jet engine.

The space where the unit is installed is a studio apartment with 11 foot ceilings, so basically whatever unit is purchased for the space is something the occupant is going to be in close proximity to all the time.

For this reason, I took a gamble and decided to replace the unit with this unit, the 10,000 BTU xq10L10a.I found that the high fan setting the xq10L10a is about as noisy as the LOW fan setting of the bigger unit.All other things being equal, I am quite happy with this machine and can report it functions perfectly and gently which is of paramount concern to me.It's not going to be silent, but quite acceptable for a small living space.The unit doesn't rumble or vibrate and the thermostat seems to do a good job.You can hear the compressor with the fan on low, but this is normal for any unit of this design type.

The Friedrich tech support is quite good--you get someone on the phone without an issue, although it's kind of hit or miss depending on who you talk to as with most tech support services.For this sized unit, I have no complaints and think it's a good choice for a compact window unit in it's size range.

Friedrich Compact Programmable : CP10E10 10,000 BTU Room Air Conditioner Review

Okay, here goes a somewhat long winded review. I purchased the Friedrich CP10E10 about 2 weeks ago when my old one died. A friend of mine had an older Friedrich model that worked really well and was so quiet that I knew my next air conditioner was definitely going to be a Friedrich. It just may have been a big mistake. You be the judge...

Pros
*Super cooler, can cool down my whole (small) 2 br apt
*Money Saver option- shuts down when selected temperature has been attained
*Comes with installation brackets for your windowsill that make the ac secure to the window
*Excellent service- I had to call the service center for a noise and they were able to come out right away to repair it.
*Energy efficient 10.8 EER

Cons
*Loud compressor(main cooling engine)- it sounds like an engine revving up and actually disturbs my sleep
*Installation is very extremely difficult. believe it. You must slide out the main unit from the chassis (metal sleeve) to remove a styrofoam shipping block. Then install the sleeve in the window and then slide in the main unit.
*A problem with a strange noise had me calling the service center. Why does a new unit require a visit? Apparently the fan is made cheaply and was causing a slight rustling noise. It could happen again is what they told me.
* When I called the service center they said they had been getting many calls about the noise level of this series (CP) of Friedrich air conditioners.

Servicers suggested I buy the more expensive Quietmaster unit. It's $800 or so. Ain't gonna happen. A window ac should not cost that much. Esp since I am a renter.

I think that's enough for now. I will add more on durability as time goes.
