How to Choose a Room Air Conditioner Compared to large capacity central units, room air conditioners have several advantages. The initial cost of a room air conditioning unit is significantly lower than the cost of central air. Because room air conditioners are designed for cooling small spaces, operating costs are reduced. And, room air conditioners can provide personalized temperature and humidity controls that central systems cannot. Calculating Cooling Capacity Cooling capacity is the critical factor in properly selecting a room air conditioner. Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) and typical models will range in capacity from 5,000 BTUs to 28,500 BTUs. Choosing an undersized unit will overwork the unit and it will not cool properly. Choosing an oversized unit will cost more to buy and operate and it will not dehumidify properly. We can help you to calculate capacity.

* Very Noisy ...
This would be a five star unit if it wasn't so noisy even on the lowest fan speed.

Incredibly loud
Like others have said, this unit is unbelieveably loud, negating other good features it has (ability to cool quickly, not too hard to install, etc). I returned it and purchased a Kenmore, and they are night and day.

* THE BEST WHITE NOISE MACHINE EVER! ...
Don't you just hate noises waking you up at night- like your kid crying, fire trucks at your neighbor's house, the police pounding on your front door, etc.? If you want a terrific white noise machine, then this AC is just for you!
I cannot imagine how Frigidaire can market this thing with a clear conscience- and at this price. After spending about 15 minutes in the room reading in bed with it running on low setting, I couldn't take it anymore and turned the unit off, only to find that my ear nearest the AC was ringing and sounds were muffled. I ended up sleeping with a pillow over my head. We live 4 blocks from a military air base tarmac, so are not used to absolute silence, but after 2 nights of this, we boxed it up and hauled it back to the store.
The noise comes mainly from the way the air is blown out of the unit. In most, the air is directed straight out, that is, it does not have to negotiate a corner. But, in this one, the air does, creating the noisy turbulence.
To replace it, we purchased a Kenmore Low-Profile 75062 6000BTU AC and are quite pleased. It is quiet, cools great, has a remote, and was less expensive.

It really is as loud as everyone says...
This air conditioner sounds like a jet engine, just as everyone else says. It does a pretty solid job cooling and has a digital thermostat, but that still doesn't make up for the noise. If you're buying a window AC to help you sleep when its hot, this unit will make you cooler, but it's tough to actually get more sleep with it on.
Bottom line: If you're a REALLY heavy sleeper or cooling a room that you don't actually spend time in, give it a try...lots of good features and cost, but be prepared for some noise. Alternatively, it sounds like some of the lower BTU Frigidare models are quieter this year.

* Will Never Buy anything from Frigidaire again!! ...
My brand new Frigidaire unit broke down in one month. Actually I only used it for three times, which added up to 10 hours. For the 10 hours' experience,the A/C makes horrible noise, and didn't cool at all, even if I set the temp to 60 and sat just in front of it. However b/c it was installed exactly five weeks ago,the 30-day return policy from the dealer expires.
Then I went through an extremely painful process to talk with the dealer, the manufacturer-Frigidaire and their referral service providers.
There will be ABSOLUTELY NO Return/refund nor the replacement is guaranteed. You will have to wait for at least a WHOLE week in your sweats and tears for the techinian to come in. In addition, I don't think their customer service is help at all.
I won't buy anything from Frigidaire again for the rest of my life!!!
