Frigidaire - 350 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner - White

This product was easy to unpack. Not too heavy to move upstairs by myself. However, the window kit that the discharge hose connects into was not tall enough to extend to the top of the window. So I used the window kit that came with the LG portable air conditioner that stopped working. Fortunately the discharge how diameter is the same on both products so I could replace the Frigidaire connector with the LG connector and everything worked great. The product cools the room quickly and is rather quiet. Overall it is a great portable air conditioner, well worth the price.

This air conditioner does a great job. However I was surprised at how much space it takes up. That’s because the exhaust hose is positioned out the window and instructions say not to have bends in the hose. If the exhaust hose was higher on the unit it would have been more flush with the window - more of a straight shot - and taken much less room space.

Have been using this portable air conditioner for about 2 months now, and have loved it. If you maintain the room closed this will maintain the room cool. There are several settings to cool the room including cool and fan. Installation is a bit tricky so much sure that you check the size of your window before buying this. You will need something to cut the kit to fit your window size. I recommend having a saw to help with this step. This step by far was the hardest part of the installation. Also make sure that you have space in front of the window for the AC unit. The length of the hose is so long and will need to be close to your window. It does take about an hour to cool the room down,

We’ve just gone through the hottest and dryest summer here in Alaska, this unit was a life saver. It was in the 80’s and 90’s for a good few weeks. It may not sound all that bad but when the sun never fully sets the heat is non stop. This unit kept us nice and cool. Setup is easy and the unit has wheels so moving it to different rooms is simple. The manual is pretty lack luster but setting up was pretty self explanatory. May pickup a second for our downstairs.

Pros: -Cools well -Looks nice/fancy -Remote lights up -Beep when changing settings is quieter than most I’ve used Cons: -Not that easy to set up because the window piece doesn’t seem to ‘lock’ into modern vinyl windows very well and I didn’t want to drive screws into my new window -Much louder than expected overall. When the unit is in fan only mode it’s very quiet, but I don’t ever have it in fan only mode because it’s an A/C. When the A/C compressor is running I measured 60 dB from 8 feet away with the fan on low. It measured 70 dB from 1 foot away with the fan on high (did not have the air blowing directly into phone mic).

I was apprehensive to purchase this based on some bad reviews but glad I did. Cooling- at first it took an hour or so to cool down the room but thats because the room (inside) was almost 95 degrees here in Vegas. The room is 14x12 making it around 170 SQ feet. Since the room eventually cooled down, it now keeps it comfortable when it's 110 out and in a top floor bedroom. It quickly cools down the room when turned back on hours later. Set up- ehh.. The instructions are super confusing when it comes to attaching the window piece and moldings. The window piece was also made to be used with a window that slides open from left to right but my window is right to left. I still made the piece work but it's on backwards. Still does the job but ended up raising the hose to the top of the window instead of the bottom. See photo. As for the pesky hose falling out like everyone claims, NO issue as of a day later. I did notice that the end of the hose that goes to the window needs to be pulled into the hard plastic attachment that then snaps into the window. What you need to do is remove the black metal grill, then reach in and begin to pull the hose into the hard plastic piece. Then attach that piece to the window outlet until you hear a snap. In my opinion, the hose should be another two feet. All in all, great AC unit so far.

Sturdy cooler, nice features. Didn't expect to have to set it up next to a window and install a vent.

Great features and easy set up. Good to have a timer and 3 fan speeds Keeping a normally hot room cool Good value, good price!
