Frigidaire FAP094P1Z 9,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

Consumer Reports says this portable air conditioner is much less efficient than a comparable window unit.It's definitely more expensive than a window air conditioner (probably at least double the cost); you're paying for appearance and convenience, not functionality.(It's easy to disconnect this unit and roll it away into a corner or closet.)

I bought two of these for two rooms with sliding casement windows that posed problems for window units -- and I didn't want to bother with installing and then removing bulky window units every season.One of the rooms is a very large bedroom with a cathedral ceiling, and the Frigidaire portable air conditioner has no problem keeping it cool.Your options for placing the unit are rather limited -- there is a somewhat flexible duct that must be run from the back of the unit to a window (or a hole through an exterior wall), and you also need a nearby electrical outlet, preferably on an isolated circuit.

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.

SPT TN-09E TechniTrend 9,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control Review

I use this AC to cool my bedroom that's about 225 sq. ft. The manufacturer claims this unit is capable of cooling easily upto 250 sq. ft.
I've been using this AC for a week. The air it puts out is definately cool but this AC cannot cool the room more than 2-3 degrees, yes, farenheit. It cools the room by a couple degrees in the first hour, after that I can't see any difference whether the AC is on or not.
Well, ok, to be fair, the difference is that it does make noise and consume gobs of power without cooling anything.

Product Description:
Ideal for small-size rooms up to 250 square feet, this portable air conditioner delivers a 9,000-BTU cooling capacity and an energy-efficiency rating of 10.31. It also functions as a dehumidifier, removing up to 50 pints of moisture from the air per day (the dehumidifier operates automatically in AC mode). During the cooling process, its self-evaporating system extracts water from the air into the unit. Most of this water then gets recycled and used to cool the cooling coils for more efficient operation.

Choose between continuous operation or the programmable timer, which can be preset up to 12 hours. The unit also provides a 64- to 90-degree F thermostat, a washable air filter, an activated carbon filter to help remove odor, a built-in water tank or extended water tube for continuous drainage, and casters for easy mobility. Other highlights include an LCDI plug, fire-resistant PVC plastic housing, a rotary compressor, directional air discharge louvers, and an extendable exhaust hose (up to 5 feet). The unit requires exhaust hose installation, and all standard accessories come included.

WindChaser PACRWC 12,000 BTU Remote Controlled Portable Air Conditioner Review

Not sure what's wrong with R. Richardson's unit, but mine works like a charm.We have a 16' x 20' with cathedral ceiling bedroom that we use this in.I previously had a single hose unit and was intrigued by the dual hose design.It definitely cools A LOT faster than my old single hose design.The tubes are an eye-sore, but hey, they're better than a permanent window unit...in my opinion.So far, I have only used the air conditioner, so I cannot comment on how well the heater works.However, the AC unit has NO problem cooling our large room down to a nice 63 degrees.It'll even go to 61, but that's too cool even for us.

My advice to R. Richardson...you either have installed it wrong or have a bum unit.Either way, your experience is probably atypical.

SPT WA-1010M 10,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Manual Controls Review

It is extremely noisey even on the low setting, but worse is that it does not even cool.IT didn't seem to cool at all so I let it run all night in an attempt to cool down a small room, the next morning the room was 1 degree cooler than the other rooms.A fan would do similar work and have less noise and cost.

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.
