5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet!, April 12, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Friedrich Compact Programmable : CP06E10 6,000 BTU Room Air Conditioner (Kitchen)
I like to have a very quiet window air conditioner for my bedroom. This unit is great - it cools and dehumidifies, but most importantly it is very quiet. There is only a slight change in the decibel level when the compressor is running versus when it is not. If you value quiet in a window air conditioner get this one. I've tried many brands and have been disappointed by most. This one reminds me of my old Panasonic unit - whisper quiet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Should be Better, June 21, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Friedrich Compact Programmable : CP06E10 6,000 BTU Room Air Conditioner (Kitchen)
Bought this A/C because of Consumer Report recommendation.
The unit is ok, easy to run & cools very quickly, But---
Not as quiet as I would have liked. Mounting is terrible, Manuel is poorly written & lacks a lot of information. The unit is designed to mount in a wood frame window but they want you to drive 8 screws into your woodwork. I didn't have to do that since I have a Vinyl window, I did get it installed but I had to use rubber shims between frame & wherever it touched the window to cut down on noise & vibration. The side curtains & bezel are very flimsy. The sleeve was supposed to be 13-5/8 H, & my window opened to 15 in H but the unit barely fit. I would have returned the unit but since shipping was around $35, when I bought it & another $35. to return it & probably a restocking fee I decided to keep it. It's just okay. Not as good as I had hoped. It's okay to buy on line but I recommend on something this big you go somewhere to see it physically & know exactly what you are getting. Would I recommend this to a friend? NO

Days Later

The Unit is still very noisy. As was stated by Warren the grill vibrates. Solution, Remove it as I did. The thing that makes this unit quite at times is the Low Fan Speed. The Compresser still comes on with a thud. Next season I will try to mount it better & hope to eliminate some of the vibrations & noise. If you have vinyl windows, DON'T buy this unit

3.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas, poor execution, July 19, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Friedrich Compact Programmable : CP06E10 6,000 BTU Room Air Conditioner (Kitchen)
I bought this thingy cause my old bedroom air conditioner, a.k.a. "The Bazooka", when it turned on in the middle of the night it scared the bejezuz out of my half asleep mind. (and dog). (and fish). So, this thing earned every one of it's stars because it doesn't scare me awake. It's actually rather quiet. Not whisper quiet, but especially when it's on the lowest fan setting - it is most definitely bearable. Beware, however, it does make slight water swishing noises, which the manufacturer claims are normal.

It was an absolute nightmare to install (and I consider myself gifted in the art of putting stuff together). It would have been SUPER HELPFUL if the folks at Friedrich wrote in BIG letters somewhere not to attempt install in hot temperatures. Gee, I wonder who would buy and install an air conditioner in cold weather, but maybe that's just me. The problem is the air conditioner has to come apart first from it's metal "cabinet" shell in order to get installed on the window. But, the air conditioner "insides" are made of a different metal than the "cabinet" and so when it's hot enough the metal inside expands at a higher rate and is practically "fused" to the metal cabinet. This, ladies and gentlemen, I figured out after huffing and puffing over this monster for 3 hours at 94 degrees weather. Finally, light bulb: I reinstalled The Bazooka; cooled the room down to 83 degrees; and boom it slid out like they were buttered.

2-Week-Use Update:
The "money saving" mode turned out to be very useful - it makes the AC turn itself on and off in order to maintain the desired temperature, while saving me big bucks. The "timer" mode is evil because it keeps raising the temperature on you, without you wanting it to. Overall - not sorry I bought it (once I had some time to forget the horrible install experience.)
