I just received this unit, had it installed... turned it on and left the house... Returned to a lovely cool room and the air-conditioner making annoying low level clicking sounds... I am hoping this might go away...The idea of having to remove the unit is almost too painful to contemplate...

UPDATE: After 3 days of constant use, the clicking noises on my unit stopped and the air conditioner has been working great every since. I wish they would let me add stars to my review, but I dont seem able to change my original rating...

Took only 20 Minutes to put in. Much easier than a regular A/C unit for large Windows that slide side to side. My window was a bit larger than allowable so I had to add plexiglass to fill the rest of the window. Works great and love the remote.

This is working very well for me it is cooling a 950 square foot house with ease. I also love the digital and the remote feature.

If you have a casement window, the kind that opens out, this is the unit to buy, its quiet, and pretty easy to install, it comes with the bracket and framework to cover the rest of the open window, i used plexi-glass instead of the white cardboard but either way will work out. i recommend this unit for a casement window

Got this through Amazon. Amazingly quick delivery even with free delivery option. However your mileage may vary. The unit arrived with stuck fan inside. The fan is made of plastic and to reduce noise they balance it by attaching small metall clips. The clips were attached so poorly, that fan simply stuck after producing a sequence of loud clicks.

I have called the Frigidaire and got a phone of their authorized warranty service provider. There is only one provider in Boston, MA area. Tried to call the company multiple times but was greeted by voice mail. No calls were returned.

Finally I have removed the cover and repaired the fan myself. However it is pretty obvious that people at Frigidaire plant did not ever try to turn the air conditioner on after it was assembled, or even worse - they knowingly packed faulty unit.

Otherwise it is just an average AC with performance and noise level you should expect from window mounted AC.

I have been using the air conditioner for a few weeks. It cools efficiently and I am very pleased with it.

I cannot give a review on how the product works since not only the original shipment came damaged, but the replacement unit also came damaged. After the second time I am requesting a refund. I read other reviews that the packaging was not very good and of course I thought they may have been the exceptions. But after two damaged units and seeing how the unit is protected I wish I had listened to reviews about bad packaging.

If you decide to order, make sure you do not cut plastic bands that keeps the top of the box connected to the bottom of the box. Otherwise if you have to return the unit, you will need lots of packing tape to keep the unit secure. The only thing connecting the bottom of the box to the rest of the box are the plastic bands. I'm crossing my fingers that the first unit I returned gets back to Amazon. I have scheduled the second unit to be pick up in the morning.

I really did want to try this unit out, but after two damaged units I'm just want my refund.

The package weight of the unit is about 100lbs.

The Amazon.com product description stated that this model was Energy Star rated and it is most definitely not. Only the 8,000 BTU unit is. Very disappointed that I have to go through the time and hassle of repacking and returning such a large and bulky item. To Amazon.com's credit, they responded promptly within an hour or so (on a Sunday no less) to my online return request, and said that because the product was not as advertised, that I will not have to pay for return shipping. I should also mention that we already own two of the 8,000 BTU units and they are MUCH quieter than this one. We'll see how the return process goes...

You'd be surprised how difficult it can be to find an AC that will fit in a window with a 16 inch opening. Thanks to Amazon, I finally found one and it works GREAT!! Pretty easy to install if you don't let yourself get intimidated by the 50 step instruction book. My only but is the flimsy white plastic bit that they give you to fill up the rest of the window space. While it has a nice frame to slide into, I miss looking out that quarter of my window. I think I'll get some plexiglass to replace it. Regardless, it's a great AC that runs a lot quieter than others.

This is the best air conditioner I've ever purchased! I love the electronic controls and timer! It has a remote control too! It cools the room quickly and easily.
