Quietness

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy installation and cools great. The only downside I find is the noise level. There is very little difference in the level of sound between low medium and high. I find it quite loud if I’m in the same room!

Works nicely!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I gave it four stars because of the price. I know, I know, "but inflation!". Doesn't matter. It shouldn't cost this much. It works well though. I didn't realize it needed to be drained if you use the cooling mode. Had I realized before purchasing, I would not have bought it. I use it on dry mode for now as to avoid draining it and it has worked in 89 degree weather just fine. It's not perfect but it is better than the DIY styrofoam cooler idea....

Get cool fast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This portable AC surprised me with how cold it can make a room. Bought this to use in a campervan.

Broke 2 weeks after warranty expired, Frigidaire refuses to stand by product

Bought my portable AC unit last May, cared for it and stored it for winter per user manual. Plugged it in this week and it won't work. Conveniently 2 weeks after the warranty expired and Frigidaire CustomerSupport refuses to help. Stand by your product?

Satisfied with one complaint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I chose Frigidaire based on the positive Consumer Reports rating. We operate the AC in Fan mode and Cool mode. Fan mode works as expected. On Cool mode the AC cycles on and off as the room reaches the set temp. When the AC cycles off the fan continues to run and there isn’t much dif in the noise level. My complaint is after the unit has been running during the night, in the early morning it will completely cycle off and then back on, both fan a...

Excellent value

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this to cool a west facing sun room of under 200 Sq. Ft. with windows along the south and west facing walls. It has a small enough footprint to take up very little of this already small room. The thermostat feature keeps the temp consistent. Even when the room, left vacant and the air turned off, heats up, this unit cools it rapidly. I have used the dehumidify feature once. It reduced the humidity 15% in 10 minutes. It has reduc...

Damaged product

Would Recommend

The Delivery through FedEx. We followed the product, online, from PA to Orlando and then it said it was on the way to our town. Then, suddenly, it said there was a delay and it showed back in PA. We wondered if the truck was robbed or wrecked. Well, the next day it was out for delivery. Go figure? When the truck arrived, as I usually do, I went out to take it from the driver. But he insisted on carrying the box to our garage and setting it down. After he left I lifted it only to see the ...

Small footprint, effective cooling

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a similar unit before so had some understanding of how to set it up. There were some difficulties installing the hose outlet into the window -- the included plastic pieces didn't match up to my window and I needed a bit of cardboard and duct tape to achieve a proper fit. I also had to turn the hose fitting around to fit against the window frame. It cools the 12x12 bedroom beautifully with the help of a tower fan facing it from across t...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got it so I've only used it a handful of times, but so far it's worked great! I think it's easy to use and glad that it comes with a remote
