Hi.Please tell me approximately how often the compressor and fan cycle on and off on the energy saver mode. Also, is it quiet on this setting? Thanks.

I have not put it on saver mode as of yet, but I have it usually on low cool, and its quiet. Not noisy at all, and its very cold.

We run our compressors to cycle between 115psi off and 95psi on,have not had any problems yet ,keep it lubricated

I think it depends on the mode you have selected. Once our room is heated to the desired level, we usually choose a manual mode so we do not have the fan cycling. I suggest trying different modes, and if fan cycles on and off in each mode, you may have a problem. Good luck.

Allot of confusion here, I was told the fan runs all the time and since some say they claim their fan does not, I called Frigidaire and they say the FAN DOES RUN ALL THE TIME, only thing that cycles is the compressor. The fan is energy efficient and keeps air on the move doing a better job, but...their own manual does not state the fan operates all the time. Not sure what models some have that claim the fan turns off when the humidiy level is reached......seems to be allot of confusion over this.

The fan runs continuously unless the tank is full which shuts the machine down. It's the nature of the beast. It does run quietly. I have been happy with mine so far.

60F degrees is lowest setting. BTW, we just bought and installed 3 weeks ago. Only negative in our opinion, is that on the "cool" setting, the fan cannot be shut off, even when the compressor is not running. So as the compressor shuts on and off, the fan continues to run. There is an 'energy save' setting where the fan does shut off, but does not seem to cool as quickly or as cool and the 'cool' setting. More experimentation needed! Overall we like the product.

We love ours, since our bedroom is in the basement. If you use the timer it does shut down the fan and it sits in "wait" mode until the time you have it set to turn back on. You do need to be certain it is hooked up to a hose to drain continuously or this feature will not work. We use our for mostly heat in the winter and the a/c in the summer. But you do have the option of treating like a fan, although I'm not sure why you would want to...I believe a regular fan would e cheaper on your electric bill.

With the fan on level one it creates the perfect white noise and circulates the air gently to keep it fresh. When it is hot out and you need cooling the compressor is not too much louder but the thermostatic cycling could be set at a longer duration ,that said prior experience with GE Goldstar and Frigidaire this model is pretty quiet.The only quieter I have experienced is LG's 10,000 btu window/wall mount mod # lw1010er.

Yes the fan on my unit runs 24-7-365. Only the compressor cycle on and off as needed to maintain it set point. You do get a hi low control button for the fan.

Its VERY quite on fan, I would say on par with a split unit, even for a noise sensitive person like me (noise level is the only thing I look at when getting AC unit for bedroom), but when the compressor is running it does make a louder noise. I sleep with earplugs regardless, this is the only unit that won't wake me up at night.

It is not silent but it is much less noisy then the unit it replaced. I can sleep with it near my nightstand so noise wasn't a factor for me. There are two noise levels, with the compressor on and when the fan is on alone. If you are very noise sensitive this may be an issue for you.

I had mine running for 8 hours or a little more at full power during really cold temps last month (no on/off cycling). It cycles on/off when set between 1/4 and 3/4 power. With the milder temps now I usually set it about 2/3 and forget it.

That sucks. When mine is on it's set to Cool/Low/62/No Ion. It still doesn't actually cool particularly well (as my review says), but it does stay on indefinitely. You could try "power cycling" it. Unplug for 10 minutes or so (to make certain the compressor is reset) then try again. Works for routers, lol. Also consider maybe its an electrical issue. Try plugging in to a different circuit or something? Or is something bouncing air back into it that could be causing it to get wrong air temps? I'm just throwing out ideas here. :)

My unit fan runs continuously no matter what the setting. I never hear the compressor kick in.I am concerned about my electric bill also. How did any of you speak to a representative? All I got was to e-mail them and I have not heard back. Right now I am trying to use the bucket and see if shuts off when the bucket is full. What is a good setting for a large basement? I would appreciate any help.

yes it has an energy saver mode...I just set the temperature at 77 and the fan on low...it performs well...

I don't know about the fan. I set my machine for 12 hours when I go out of town. I haven't had any problems

The compressor always shuts off if the temperature is reached in any mode, in energy saver mode the fan shuts off as well.
