I bought this yesterday during a heat wave when my old 15 year old Goldstar ac finally died. Did a quick research for size,price, and positive reviews along with a name brand. First the pros; very light, easy to unpack,and install for this 70 year old. Total of 15 minutes to do. Now the nitty gritty. I put this unit in the spare room on the second floor of a cape style home. It was a 95 degrees and humid and anyone who lives in this style home knows, the upstairs gets brutally hot. Using the simple manual controls, which I like, I put it on high cool and fan. I expected after a few minutes to have icy cold air blowing out and figured to cool down the room in a few hours. The air was cool but not biting icy cold like the old unit. I do realize I was fighting an uphill battle because of the heat build up before. Also, I™™m sure they use a different Freon in newer ac™™s than the older models. I don™™t know how much a difference it makes . By bedtime my upstairs was comfortable with this unit and another Frigidaire unit in the other room across the hallway. We always try to run our ac™™s early enough before the peak of a hot day or else it™™s hard for the units to catch up in the battle of cooling down the house. This unit has good fan speed in every mode and the noise level is certainly acceptable. Filter is easy access to clean. I do wish it was less flimsy but all the units I checked out at the store were basically the same. I picked Frigidaire over the other units because it just looked and felt less cheaply made than the others and it certainly has brand name recognition. I would recommend this unit but just understand that any unit will struggle in humid hot over 90™™s weather. I™™m hoping it will cool down faster on less brutal days. I will try to update later in the season.
