Frigidaire - 3-in-1 Portable Room Air Conditioner - White

The Frigidaire 12,000 BTU (8,000 SACC BTU) is an excellent A/C. I owned an LG 12,000 about 6 year's old that finally died, that unit was much louder with less features. I spent 2 weeks looking at much more expensive units including the LG and decided to go with this, the Frigidaire and that was the best choice. I feel other reviews don't all say how great this unit is. I myself am very pleased after 2 months of daily use.

Works great for 350 sqft but I do not see how it would cool 550 as described. We use the schedule timer from 10 am to 9 pm to keep living room and kitchen cool. Approx 350 sqft. It does have a mostly quiet mode but it will take a long time to cool. We use auto feature to keep. Temp. At 79. We also wrapped the exhaust hose with insulation to keep the heat from the hose making the cooling fight to keep temp. Electric went up approximately $30 a month

This air conditioner has saved my life this summer! It doesnt cool much past my 300sq ft bedroom, but with some well placed fans it will reach the living room a bit. A little noisy when it kicks on in the middle of the night.

This has been perfect for keeping my son who is completely immobile cool. His body doesn’t regulate temperature and he has chronic respiratory failure so it also keeps the air purified and clean remote and it’s amazing.

Amazing unit really cools the room down! And fast! Dehumidifier works excellent too! Easy to clean filters and easy to learn this unit.

We chose the Frigidaire 3-in-1 portable AC because it had been reviewed as being quieter than some others, and it does seem relatively quiet. Unpacking and setup was simple enough, although the operation manual is not very user-friendly. The device seems well designed, although the flexible air hose connectors on both the device and the window slider kit seem to be rather flimsy. I find turning-on the black Control Panel difficult to read without the help of a flashlight. Our main complaint: There is a lack of communication regarding whether or not to connect a (water) hose to the "continuous drain outlet" on the back – the unit will operate with that outlet capped off, but when a hose is attached, it can fill a gallon jug in just a few hours with water that is removed from the air. Why is this choice not presented in any of the marketing literature? The unit seems to cool more efficiently when the water is draining, but we don't want to have to keep emptying water jugs or worrying about overflow onto the floor. (And drilling a hole to the outdoors is out of the question.) So we will operate it in capped-off drain mode.

It worked for four months then started forming a giant ice cube across the entire back of the unit and throwing icicles against the fan. I kept the machine meticulously maintained and the air filters were routinely cleaned before the lights came on to do so. The cold air outlet is insufficient. It is the size of an index card and even with the swing mechanism, did not circulate air in my square room. In the beginning of owning, I had to call Frigidaire customer service several times for help and was often told different and wrong answers and literally wasted hours on the phone. Remote control is worthless since it needs to be within a few feet of the machine and pointed directly at just the right certain line of sight- a bit ridiculous- just use the app.

Easy to set it up. Set it anytime from anywhere using the app. This product can rapidly lower the temperature in the room in less than 15min. This product is highly efficient.

REALLY like this air conditioner! It cools my upstairs down quickly and it quieter than I expected. Wish I had bought one sooner. Within the first week, it did start to have a cyclical noisy vibration when it ran at the highest speed to cool the air. Best Buy is exchanging it - will write a new review on that one! (The top of the a/c looks bumpy in the photo because I put the protective plastic back on for the exchange)
