QuestionDoes this unit need to be emptied ?
Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I don't think so. Everything I found in the manual said only if you run it in a certain mode (can't remember which mode, but not for cooling). We've been using it for a month now (give or take) and has no indication of needing to be drained. I have another one that stops cooling if you need to drain it and I have to do it every couple of days.

QuestionOn model FHPC102AC1 will the unit shut off completely when the desired temperature is reached or will only the compressor shut off with the fan still running?
Asked 1 year ago by Reuben.
- Answer Hi there, valued customer! Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your inquiry. The unit will automatically select cooling, or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature. The air conditioner will control room temperature automatically around the temperature point set by you. The Compressor shut-off when you change modes. - Jessica

QuestionCould i use the air conditioner without the exhaust hose?
Asked 2 years ago by Jimmyw12.
- Answer Good day! The short answer to this is that you can safely run a portable air conditioner without a vent hose, but you should only do it in dehumidifier mode, and it will actually heat up your room. ~Lauren

Questionin the description it says 10,000 btu but in the specs it says 6500 btu why is that?
Asked 3 years ago by rona.
- Answer Great question, Rona! The btu on the model FHPC102AC1 is 10,000 btu. However, the US Department of Energy (DOE) testing standard requires 6,500 btu's for cooling. You are able to review additional details in the Specification Guide. We hope this information was helpful to you and your shopping experience. -Ciara

QuestionThe previous question was not answered. Does this unit need to be emptied or drained regularly when using as a/c for cooling?
Asked 3 years ago by Lolawater.
- Answer Hello, Lolawater! This model will need to be drained during the Dry Mode setting only. The unit will continuously drain moisture from the room and a garden hose will be needed to drain the condensate from the unit when using Dry Mode on the appliance. We hope this helps. If you have any additional questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to chat with us online or contact us via phone at 800-374-4432 M-F, 8:30 am- 8:00 pm. ~Briana

QuestionWhy does your specification sheet on your add say 450 sq feet and the box says 250 sq feet? Should I have had to pay this much?
Asked 1 year ago by PA.
- Answer I received mine today and noticed the same thing. Bestbuy's website is FALSE and I doubt they will correct it as it attracts more buyers. The SF for this particular product is 250, like the manufacturer says it is, not 450. I can get a less expensive AC unit for 250 SF, but I am probably just going to keep this one because it has the ionizer.

QuestionI have a pre-installed 5 inch wide vent for a portable A/C installed through the wall of my apartment. Since this unit has a 5`9 hose, is there any type of hose adaptor / reducer I could use to install this to a 5 inch vent? Thank you.
Asked 1 year ago by Ale.
- Answer Hello, Ale. We appreciate your inquiry. This model has a drain hose and connector (for the heat pump model), a window kit connector, and an exhaust hose connector. The hose can be extended from its original length of 15" up to 59", but try to maintain the minimum required length. We hope this information helps! - Christi

QuestionWhy does the fan turn off when the set temperature is reached in COOL mode and the Fan speed is set to High, it was stated by FrigidaireSupport it would stay on? Is the item defective or is there a secret setting to turn on?
Asked 2 years ago by Dave.
- Answer Mine does the same. I'm sure it's an energy setting. I haven't bothered to read thru the manual to see if there's ways to adjust that setting. I have other fans going in the room, so it shutting down doesn't bother me.

QuestionHow do you clean it ? Drain condensation?
Asked 2 years ago by Curious.
- Answer Thanks for reaching out! One of the options to clean your portable air conditioner is by using the "Ionizer function"-The unit is equipped with an internal air cleaning device called an ionizer. This feature can be activated and deactivated by pressing and holding the “Swing” button for 2 seconds. By activating this function, the ionizer will generate ions into the air, attracting and removing impurities from the air. This provides cleaner, healthier air to breathe. Also it is important to clean the unit itself and the filter. We hope this information help you and your shopping experience.-Angel

Questiondoes it evaporate all of its own water, or do you need a frain hose
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The unit itself comes with a small drain hose which you probably won’t need to use unless you use the dehumidifier function. However if you do use that setting and you need to drain it unscrew then cap on the back plug it into the back and let it drain. You should only need to do this before winter storage.

QuestionIs the hose a clockwise or counter clockwise hose?
Asked 3 years ago by Patty.
- Answer You secure the hot air hose to the unit by turning it clockwise about 1/4 turn. It will stop firmly when it's locked in. The drain hose outlet seems to be threaded like a normal hose.
