This air conditioner rocks!
Ever since purchasing this product I have had great sleep and always wake up refresh. It has Wi-Fi and programmable schedule settings. I can always turn it on and off from wherever I'm at and I can schedule it's around my day.

cool air, but water everywhere
great looking air conditioning unit, the app is ok too. Sadly, it leaked water all over my hardwood floors. After a couple nights of this messy insanity, I added a drain hose into a 1 gallon bucket but found that I had to drain the bucket every 3-4 hours. Added a 2 gallon pan that the bucket sits in so I can get through the night without dumping the excess water. NOTE: There are two drain caps, make sure the lower one is sealed and doesn't shake loose.

Honest Review
I've had my fridgidaire gallery portable AC for about a month now. First impression was it was bigger than expected. I absolutely love the fabric over the hose as it really keeps the hot air in. Before purchasing I read how quiet this ac was but it's not as quiet as reviewers have made it seem. Mine constantly sounds like water running through it, if it weren't for that then yes it would be pretty quiet. It works best when outside temperatures are below 90. When it's anything over that outside then condensation comes out from where the air blows and it drips all over the top and sides of the unit. I have to wipe it down every hour or so. I have this ac in a small bedroom 172sqft. When it's over 90 the ac will be set to 68 but temp will never go below 73 even when on for 6 hours straight. For a 12000btu ac in such a small room compared to what it's supposed to be able to handle that did disappoint me a bit. The magnetic remote is pretty cool even with it's odd shape although I rarely use it. Alexa works amazing to turn the unit on and off when told (i use the echo and the dot) The fridgidaire app is just as good although the app does have errors at times. I tested the dehumidifier setting by connecting a hose and it worked great, that alone made the room feel so cool. When in cool mode it's supposed to remove the condesation built up inside but when unscrewing the botton valve it was completely fulI, after emptying it, it felt like it ran better but only temporarily (few hours) until it filled back up. Huge pain to empty it by the way because its so low to the ground and so heavy to lift. I purchased mine from best buy for $530 with a 2 year geek squad protection plan ($70 extra) Overall, I still love my gallery compared to past portable acs I've had. It does it's job but for the price id like it to do a bit better of a job. I'd say it's overpriced only for the smart functions.

I LOVE this baby!
Saying I love this baby right here is an understatement. I used it to cool an entire 894 sqft area, even though it’s meant for up to 550. Well I lived in a row home and as you may know, they’re not often wider than maybe 20 ft total, but they can be pretty long. My home was set up as a large open living room, open dining room, and then a mostly closed off kitchen and then bathroom. This unit cooled my entire first floor without hesitation. On those hot days my home felt like it had central air. I placed it in a corner in my dining room, which was the most central location, and at 72 during day time and 77 at night (because no one sleeps on the first floor), this beauty kept it refreshed at all times! I love that, although not advertised, it has a “dry” mode, which means it can also function as a dehumidifier. It comes with a small, round, magnetic remote that can be placed right in the middle of the top of the unit when not in use, or better yet, control the unit from your phone like I did. This unit is smart, and I would always control it from my phone when I was away, so I could have it cool to the proper temperature when I was on my way back home from a trip. Of course, that requires you to have wifi internet at home though. It does need to be placed near a window so that the hot air blown from the back can exit outdoors, and ideally connect a hose to it so you don’t have to move it outside every few weeks to empty it out. Like every AC unit, condensation is collected and a water tank gets filled with all that water. If it’s not emptied it will eventually overflow out of the unit. I like that the adjustable hose that connects the floor AC unit to the window comes with a nice gray, jean-like sleeve that hides the ugly, typical plastic material. Although expensive, I feel like this unit has been worth the money. Where I would’ve needed three separate units, this single one made up for it and it’s smart. It’s supposed to be able to connect to the Google home, but I was never able to get it to connect due to the crappy app that Frigidaire has. But since I can control it from my phone anyway, I didn’t let that bother me too much.
