Frigidaire FAD504TDD 50-Pint Dehumidifier, White Review

Frigidaire FAD504TDD 50-Pint Dehumidifier, WhiteI was a little hesitant buying this dehumidifier without any reviews on Amazon, but last year's model was highly-regarded so I figured there wasn't too much of a risk. All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Pros:
- Looks great... I know it's a dehumidifier, but it doesn't hurt that it actually isn't hideous
- Really sucks moisture out of the air
- Good energy efficiency
- Multitude of options on how to run (timer on/off, humidity level, continuous operation)
- Auto-restart after power failure

Cons:
- Not the quietest dehumidifier. I've noticed with mine that it tends to start off pretty noisy and level out after about 30 minutes
- No adjustment to the vent airflow is possible, it would be nice if you could direction it up/down/left/right, but this isn't a major issue

Overall impression:
Some reviewers of the last model had difficulty removing the bucket -- mine has posed no problems. I believe that they didn't read the instructions, which clearly say to squeeze in the sides of the bucket gently in order to remove. For those who, like me, have to deal with ridiculously high electricity costs you'll be happy to know that it's a quite efficient model for its size. This dehumidifier reads out around 530 watts on my Kill-a-Watt (measured after it's had time to settle for about 15 minutes. I've noticed it tends to spike when you turn it on, then decrease rapidly, then slowly rise up to about the measured amount).

I cannot comment on its durability, but will provide an update in the future.

Haier ESA3087 7,800-BTU Energy-Star Window Air Conditioner with Remote Control Review

Haier ESA3087 7,800-BTU Energy-Star Window Air Conditioner with Remote ControlThis is the worst A/C I have ever seen. First of all, even though it says on the box "ultra quiet", it is nearly as noisy as vacuum cleaner, you won't be able to sleep or talk while it is on. Also it doesn't cool well, we have a very small bedroom {only big enough to fit a queen size bed and two dressers, with not much room left} and it doesn't cool it nearly as well as our old GE Air Conditioner {that is only 5000 BTU}. I am taking it back today and will rather wait for a nicer one {all the stores are out of A/C right now and this one was the only one we found, but better nothing then this one}

Product Description:
With a cooling capacity of 7,800 BTUs, this window air conditioner helps maintain a comfortable living space during the hot and muggy summer months. The unit's easy-to-use electronic controls provide a digital time and temperature display, plus a convenient 24-hour on/off timer--great for cooling the living room right before arriving home from work or for keeping the bedroom at a perfect sleeping temperature then turning off on its own in the morning. Choose from three cool settings and three fan speeds. A full-function remote control comes included for changing the settings from across the room. Other highlights include top-discharge airflow; an Enviro-Clean coil; an electrostatic air filter that reduces the presence of mold, dust, and pollen; ultra-quiet operation; and easy installation with the included quick-snap curtain install kit. Best of all, the appliance has earned an Energy Star rating, which means it meets strict energy-efficiency guidelines set by the EPA and U.S. Department of Energy. Energy Star products can help save up to a third on energy bills, as well as greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. All of which means more comfortable indoor air without excess costs or impact on the environment. The window air conditioner measures 18-1/2 by 15-1/2 by 12-2/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

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

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

Frigidaire FAH126R2T 12,000-BTU Through-the-Wall Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

Frigidaire FAH126R2T 12,000-BTU Through-the-Wall Air Conditioner with Electronic ControlsI got this AC to replace a GE window AC that I was mistakenly using in a through the wall sleeve.The GE was really loud - rattled and buzzed.This unit is very quiet - you can barely tell the difference between when the compressor is on and when it is off.

Two things I wish it had (that the GE unit had) 1.Ability to control whether it is pulling air from outside or if it re-circulates air from inside and 2. the installation kit that came with it was difficult to understand because of bad black and white photos.Look up the installation guide on the web to get better photos.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Frigidaire FAH126R2T 12,000-BTU Through-the-Wall Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls

Product Description:
Ideal for large-size rooms up to 640 square feet, this through-the-wall air conditioner features a 12,000-BTU cooling capacity and an energy-efficiency rating of 9. The unit's electronic controls with full-function remote capabilities make it simple to operate, while its variable-speed fan, four-way air direction, energy saver and sleep modes, 24-hour on/off timer, and auto cool provide added convenience. Other thoughtful details include low-voltage start-up, dehumidification of 3-1/2 pints per hour, a 52-inch power cord, and an antimicrobial mesh filter that slides out for easy cleaning. Its LVC technology (low voltage compensation) ensures proper operation when the voltage fluctuates below normal levels, and with a maximum wall thickness of 18 inches, installing the unit's a snap thanks to the included universal trim kit. Weighing 86 pounds, the air conditioner measures 20-1/2 by 24 by 14-1/2 inches and carries a one-year full and five-year sealed system warranty.

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

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

Goldstar WG1005R 10,000 BTU Window Air ConditionerI 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 FAH106S1T Through-the-Wall 10,000 BTU Air Conditioner Review

Frigidaire FAH106S1T Through-the-Wall 10,000 BTU Air ConditionerJust a note: I am reviewing the AC unit itself and not the vendor mentioned in the other two reviews. FYI: I purchased the AC from Lowes.

The AC works great. I've had it for two years and it has served us well. Very dependable and did a great job cooling the bedroom. Remote looks good but we don't use it at all. Energy Saver works great. The fan also works great on cool days with the windows open.Great through the wall unit.Came back to see if I could find another for the second bedroom as that AC unit conked. It's pretty quiet, at least I found it to be not too loud.

Frigidaire FAH12ER2T 12,000-BTU Through-the-Wall Air Conditioner with 10,000-BTU Heat and Electronic Controls Review

Frigidaire FAH12ER2T 12,000-BTU Through-the-Wall Air Conditioner with 10,000-BTU Heat and Electronic ControlsI recently moved to a Co-op Complex that has Emerson in the wall units. This unit is easy to install (but very heavy), blows very cold air out and the remote is easy to use. It comes with the stuffer sealer and replacement sealer for inside the wall sleave. My living room is 12' wide and is approx. 36' long. The air circulates rather well and after having the A/C on for a little while, the temperature reader on the remote control did drop severl degrees. This was when we had a heat wave of 93 degrees or higher for several days in a row. It defiantly is powerful, I had the bathroom door closed and it was hot in there while the living room was noticably cooler than earlier. For 12,000 BTU the energy rating was not bad at 9.0 but its not an energy star model. Still, it was much better than the 20 year old A/C that it replaced. I believe the other model that was less than 12,000 BTU had an energy efficiency rating of 9.4 which my maintence guy said isn't really noticable and the new Frigidaire 12,000 BTU model is much better at energy efficiency than the old Emerson that I replaced it with. Still when I replace the other 2 Emerson A/C's I think I'll stick with Frigidaire.

Update: 7/26/08

This unit is great! My electric bill is not making me twist my head like from The Exorcist. I just bought its middle sibling, the 10,000 BTU unit for my bedroom and its great. My bill only slightly went up a few dollars but that was it. Last year when I had the Emersons going, the bill was constantly over $70. I got the 10,000 BTU A/C for $350 from PCR. The 12,000 BTU A/C from the same place was about $410 last year. Frigidaire and LG are the only products that we buy. (major appliances)

Frigidaire FAC104P1A Compact II 10,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic ControlsI 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.

Frigidaire FAM186R2A 18,500-BTU Window Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

Frigidaire FAM186R2A 18,500-BTU Window Air Conditioner with Electronic ControlsI'm a believer in internet shopping and with the high cost of gas we're using it even more.Especially when Amazon offers free shipping and that was a big factor in making this purchase. Plus the amount of information offered about this unit made it appealing and in the end a terrific purchase.This unit is for our 1920s Arts & Crafts style brick home.The carrier who delivered alerted us in advance, let us select the day, and called the day of delivery making it very easy.The packaging was perfect - Frigidaire did a very good job.The instructions are not the best.I wish companies would bring in buyers (people who are not associated with the company or product in any way) and let them struggle with the instructions and learn to create user friendly manuals.Since our house is brick the mounting brackets weren't usable but with some creative thinking we came up with a solution to make it safe and secure.The unit is wonderful, quiet both inside and out and does a great job of cooling.Love the remote and easy to set controls.Would definitely purchase this unit again.

Frigidaire FAK085R7V 8,000-BTU Slider/Casement Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

Frigidaire FAK085R7V 8,000-BTU Slider/Casement Air Conditioner with Electronic Controlspurchased this unit for our bedroom slider window. excellent price, easy install, cools great. much better than a portable. so if you have a slider or casement and are considering a portable- don't! they just don't cool as well.

the only detractor here is that if your window is over 40" tall you will need to use something to "plug" the remaining space. our window is 44" so i had tocut a piece of plywood to plug the gap. not too big of a deal as the window is in the back of our house on the side and we have a mini blind and curtain so you can't see the plywood inside the room. the unit fits the window snugly with no air gaps and i screwed the supplied window "plug" to the plywood and then used some canned foam sealant to fill in any invisible gaps from the outside. if your window is 40" or shorter it should fit perfectly.

EAGLE delivery service was also great. all in all i figure we saved at least $150 with amazon and the free shipping over buying locally once you figure in local CA. sales tax.

HERE's THE FOLLOW UP!

well, not even a year later and the unit is D.O.A. and this was after ONE warranty repair in October. in August the unit no longer cooled during the hottest time of the year here in Socal. we got it back from the repair center and i turned it on yesterday and it worked fine, today it is already D.O.A. again... unfortunately it is now out of warranty.

as another reviewer noted quality is the issue here. for the price i expected much more than a few months of service. when it worked it WAS great. when your unit fails do yourself a favor and since you have the window bracket in place already- just buy a $100 window unit and turn it sideways. even if it fails after a year it's better than replacing it with another $300+ hunk of trash.

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

Frigidaire FAC106P1A Compact II 10,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic ControlsI 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!

Frigidaire FAA086P7A MS II 8,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

Frigidaire FAA086P7A MS II 8,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic ControlsBought 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.

This one is going back.

Frigidaire FAH086S1T Through-the-Wall 8,000 BTU Room Air conditioner Review

Frigidaire FAH086S1T  Through-the-Wall 8,000 BTU Room Air conditionerI needed a new through-the wall air conditioner to replace a dead Friedrich unit. I didn't want to spend over $500 for another Friedrich, so I bought the Frigidaire which cost about $150 less. The FAH086S1T is a good unit, and I'm happy with it. It's ENERGY STAR efficient, and does a good job cooling my bedroom. It does seem to take a little more time to cool the room on a very hot day despite being the same BTU as the unit it replaced, but it's not a big difference. It's also a little noisier, but not enough to keep me up at night. It has nice features, including energy saving modes, sleep timer, and a remote. It also comes with a face kit, and extra insulation to mount the AC in larger openings. All in all, it's a good unit for the price.

Frigidaire FAM156R1A 15,100-BTU Window Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

Frigidaire FAM156R1A 15,100-BTU Window Air Conditioner with Electronic ControlsI have been using this unit in the hottest summer on record in Phoenix and it has performed great. Installation was typical of a window unit and was not a problem at all. The manual states that if the unit go on and off quickly to move the temperature sensoraway from the cooling coils. I tried this and it didn't stay in place so I put a piece of foam weatherstripping behind it to hold it out from the coils and the unit has worked great since. The remote sensor feature really makes this unit work well and cools the place down. Noise isn't bad for this size unit.

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

Frigidaire FAC124P1A Compact II 12,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic ControlsI 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 FAK104R1V 10,000-BTU Slider/Casement Air Conditioner with Electronic ControlsI just received this unit, had it installed... turned it on and left the house... Returned to a lovely cool room and the air-conditioner making annoying low level clicking sounds... I am hoping this might go away...The idea of having to remove the unit is almost too painful to contemplate...

UPDATE: After 3 days of constant use, the clicking noises on my unit stopped and the air conditioner has been working great every since. I wish they would let me add stars to my review, but I dont seem able to change my original rating...
