Great Air Conditioner for the price
Date of Review: May 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: Recommended-consider the size of the area you wish to cool. This is perfect for one bedroom plus a closet, but wouldn't work to cool an entire house or apartment.
I found this on sale - I've found summer to be the best time to buy air conditioners, and I looked around and compared quality and prices before deciding on this one. This light, white plastic air conditioner has a remote, which is great when you're working and don't have to get up to turn it on and off. Temperature is adjustable, and there is an energy saver feature. On the remote there are 'Sleep,' 'Timer,' and 'Fan Only' features, too. This air conditioner cools quickly, and works very hard. Frigidaire (the manufacturer) has a great reputation, so that's the main reason I bought this after the price and size matched what I needed. The only drawback are those stupid loud beeps that sound every time you change the temperature. The beeps are loud enough to wake everyone in the house. The filter just needs changed once a year.
This air conditioner just came in white. There is also an electrical reset button I've used twice when the air conditioner wouldn't come on, and that fixed the problem each time. "Frigidaire," the manufacturer's name is written in large black letters across the back and you can see it several blocks away from the outside. This ruins any landscaping or pastoral scenery, but that's capitalism-advertising for repeat sales. Maybe that's why this air conditioner was priced so cheaply.
