Awesome air conditioner

I love this unit. It cooled our entire main floor and keeps it cool. I had an issue with one of the casters (wheels) and called Honeywell. Their customer service was incredible and got me a replacement right away.

Don't hesitate - just get it. We are in a small one bedroom apartment and I was dying from the heat. I'm 61 years old, female, and work full-time. When I would get home from work at night, I didn't feel like cooking or cleaning because I was stuck on the couch, unable to function due to the heat. We got this yesterday, set it up today, vented it out the window (ANYBODY can do this easily), turned it on, and within minutes the room was super chilled down. I mean really cold.

This is going to change our lives. The cost is worth it. My husband was a little upset that I spent $500, but I explained to him that it's about our health and happiness, and not like I just went out and bought a new handbag or shoes! Well now that it's set up in in full operation, man has he changed his tune! He is beyond thrilled!

I almost knocked off a star because the bottom of the box had clear tape through which you could see damaged Styrofoam. I'm pretty sure it was shipped that way from the company and not patched up by UPS. Maybe I'm wrong. Also because of the damaged box, there were a couple of little scrapes on the bottom front and side of the unit. They are not noticeable enough for me to return the item. I just think that shipping something this costly in inadequate packing is unacceptable. Shame on whoever did that!! At any rate, I decided to give 5 stars because I am rating the unit itself and not how it was shipped. I stand behind my review. It's an excellent portable air conditioner, and I wouldn't hesitate purchasing another one, barring any unforeseen malfunctions in the future.

UPDATE: 3 years later and we are still thrilled with this unit! We use it every summer and have had no issues with how it cools. If anything, it works TOO well as I get cold even with it on low. We love it and I cant imagine not having it when I need it. One of my best investments ever!

PS: NOTE! When I use the volume up key on my LG television remote control, it changes the mode on the portable air conditioner! None of the other TV control keys affect the air conditioner, just the volume up key. It switches the modes between cool, humidifier and fan. Not sure what can be done about this but it's something I can live with. UPDATE on this point: Turns out there is nothing that can be done about it but we solved the problem by putting paper over the controls which blocks the remote control wave (paper weighted down on top of the unit and part of the paper hangs down over the controls which we lift up when using controls).

I bought this portable air conditioner for my apartment after temperatures in my area reached 100+ degrees because my fan just wasn't cutting it and wow what a wonderful little unit. It is a medium sized air conditioner, kind of heavy but has wheels to move around, comes with the exhaust and a kit to hook it up to a window which can adjust to most window sizes for both horizontally and verticall. It's pretty quiet compared to most air conditioners and even though my room is a decent size with high ceilings it'll make the whole room cool within minutes. It has an adjustable thermostat and also has heating and dehumidifying capabilities and works as a fan also if you don't need the cooling. Great GREAT product, if you're in the market for a portable air conditioner, this is THE ONE.

It is like having a constant cool breeze. I would recommend this for areas that are on the fringe of needing A/C but you could get away with not having one. This thing will take the edge off on a hot day. And it has great features like "swing" which moves the fan 60 degrees back and forth, left to right, to cover a larger area of the room. I like just directing it all to me when I am working by the computer though. It is portable so you can move it into the bedroom at night.

I'm pretty darn happy with this thing. Uses much less energy than an A/C.

Updated: This unit didn't really hold up in the long run for me. Broke and stopped cooling as well as when I first got it. Was hard to keep clean as well.

I LOVE this air conditioner!  It is perfect for my approximately 10x10 bedroom and it is easy to set up.  It also comes with a great cover with pockets to store all the parts.  The machine is relatively quiet (for an air conditioner at least) and cools my bedroom very quickly.  In fact, I sometimes have to wake up and turn it down or off because I am cold.  I love it so much I even bought one for my mother.  If you are looking for a portable air conditioner, I definitely recommend this one.

I bought this air conditioner to cool a large bedroom.  After using it during a hot and humid Michigan summer, the air conditioner performed flawlessly.  I would definitely recommend this product to anyone needing a window-style air conditioner.

This air conditioner works very well. It does a good job of keeping most of our 1800sqft house cool. We do have another small unit in the back of the house to. Help..  The remote works.and overall is great

This air conditioner is great!  Super easy to install with some preplanning (support braces, etc) and it cools my 6 ft short wall & goose neck camping area in my horse trailer very well.  I would certainly recommend it to anyone with a similar sized area.

Great unit. Can seem a little loud, but I think that is all window units.  The best part about this AC is the temperature sensing remote, it works almost perfectly to get the entire room cool!

I'm very pleased with this Frigidaire 5000 BTU air conditioner.  We got it for a small bedroom and it cools it completely within 5 minutes.  We have very hot and humid summers in RI and we run the A/Cs constantly.  The unit looks nice in white.  Some people don't like units that make noise.  I don't really see how you can avoid that with a window unit.  I don't think this is overly noisy, it sounds like a normal a/c.  I actually like the hum as a sort of background white noise.  But that's just me.  Knobs and controls are easy and simple to use.  Different settings and fan speeds. I would highly recommend this for a small room.  It works great.  The price is very reasonable and worth every penny.

Great and quiet operation and puts out a lot of air. We have a few of these on our patio and couldn't be happier. Buy you won't be disappointed.

I got this guy hooked to an 8 inch piece of flexible duct work so its always drawing fresh outside air. This keeps the room from getting too humid and the unit not working like in some of the other reviews. It runs consistently 2-3 degrees cooler than the roof top unit that doesn't reach the back bedroom. I have seen nearly 20 degree temp drops from this guy and I am very happy to have it pointing at my back right now as i type this.

Really happy with this unit. We ran a 220 line and while it won't heat our sun room in January or February (we didn't expect that) it does take the chill out of the air the rest of the year and provides us with a steady and quiet source of heat. We absolutely love it!

It's powerful and cools my large living room quickly. I love the remote and the various modes. Despite running it constantly my electric bill has decreased. My old ac was a frigidiare 8,000 btu and it was far from efficient. This is a great purchase. It is not too quiet but the white noise helps us sleep. I am very pleased with my purchase.

This air conditioner is amazing.  I live in seattle in an open artspace studio -- 750 square feet with 10.5 foot ceilings and 4 - 8ft tall westward facing windows.  The afternoon sun really beats down on the windows and heats up my apt.  I saw some reviews where people said the unit barely had any affect and i imagine they expect the unit to just cool everything off like central air.  A portable unit will not work that way, but here's what i do and it works great.

Just before the sun crests over and starts beating through my unit i pull my blackout curtains and cool the place down.  Note: If i'm going out for the day, i pull the black out curtains and leave a fan in one window and don't let the heat pour in all afternoon and roast the place before i return home.

if you are a homeowner and have west facing windows i highly recommend awning and an outdoor drop screen for afternoon sun.

Then i run the a/c as necessary.  I also run it for an hour before bed, because i like to sleep with a blanket.  Then all i need through the evening is a fan.  The unit easily cools about 600 square feet of my apt - the open studio area, kitchen and bedroom.  I have double pocket doors to the bedroom and i keep them open to cool that area down as well.

My apt stays at a cool 68 to 73 degrees.  I live in the pacific northwest and the hottest day so far was 93.  But i'm not worried if it gets any hotter.  The trick is to turn on the unit before your apt gets too much higher than 80 degrees.

It works great very cold air, affordable and easy to install. It cools up to two rooms for me. I like the fact that the controller reads the actual temperature of the room. Great investment.
