Limited Use Product
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am not pleased with this purchase,the unit is large and somewhat heavy,It has a large unsitely vent hose that attaches to window limiting portability,It tends to trip a 15 amp circuit breaker if other things are used at the same time,it struggles to cool an area the size it is rated for.

Piece of junk.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So mad I bought this piece of junk. The room I use it in is not that big, but even after two hours of max blasting the a/c at 62 degrees with two vornado fans blasting also, the room still doesn't feel cool. What a waste of money. I should have returned it when I had the chance. Don't buy unless you live in a small box.

Posted .Hi Derek, I regret to hear that your air conditioner is not cooling as expected. There are a few things we would recommend checking. Have you noticed any frost or ice forming? Ensure that nothing is blocking the air vents. Please feel free to connect with us directly to discuss further. Thank you, Jennifer

worst AC unit ever
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered the AC and when i received it from day 1 it never cooled i don't know if they dropped it during delivery, the box looked fine and the unit worked fine just never cooled. i call to get a new one and the geek squad first hung up on me then tell me that i have to bring it in myself ..so i went to store took it back and got a refund and went to P.C richardson and got a working cooling portable AC...Honestly dont waste your money on it not worth it . p.s i have a window unit with less btu in a diff room and it cools so dont believe them when they say you need more BTU...

Vent doesn't stay together
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I set this up initially in my son's room and it seemed to work fine. However, the first time I moved it to my living room the vent completely came apart and I couldn't get it back together again. Returning this item today to Best Buy. If you intend to use it in one room only it might be okay, but don't buy if you plan on using it room from room.

Horrible Unit
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit comes with a bracket that does not fit any horizontally sliding window, there is no way to keep the bracket in place. The unit does not cool my room, I have to sit right in front of it in, and my room's only roughly 200 square feet. There's no way of adjusting the airflow left to right, there's a single blade to try and force the air one way or another but it doesn't work. All around this is a horrible unit but, the worst part about it is the bracket that does not fit in a sliding window

Length x Width = Sq. Ft. Hope this helps! -Jennifer

Do not buy this!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lugged this unit upstairs to my 300 sq ft room and it does not cool the room off AT ALL. In fact, the room got hotter . I turned the AC on at 6am when the room was 80 degrees and by noon the room had reached 90.5 degrees. What a waste of electricity and effort putting this thing together.

Posted .Thank you for taking the time to share your A/C experience, Fooch. I recommend checking to make sure that the unit is the correct size for your area. A unit that is too large for the area will cool the room air quickly and shut off the compressor. Air temperature is lowered but room humidity remains high. The oversized unit will cycle on and off frequently but the room will feel damp, clammy, and uncomfortable. I hope this helps. Please feel free to reconnect with us directly at (888) 203-1389; Monday through Friday from 8am to 8pm and Saturday from 9am to 6pm EST should you have any other questions. Have a great day! – Courtney

Horrible window bracket
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing has a bracket that is supposed to be made for horizontal sliding windows. It's a huge piece of garbage. I am perplexed by the shape of this braket and how they expect it to sit in a horizontally sliding window. Also I have to sit right in front of the unit, it cannot cool off my room. It's loud too.

Posted .Gosh Metulca! I hate that you may have experienced any matter with installing your air conditioner. Your air conditioner may make many sounds, such as high pitched chatter, vibration, ping, swishing, sound of rushing air, gurgle or hissing; which is a part of the normal operations. Alos, selecting the correct sized air conditioner for the room’s square footage is essential for proper cooling. So that we can make sure you have the proper size air conditioner and address any other matters, we would like you to contact us directly. –CiCi

NOT "Portable"
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.NOT at all happy with this. Portable should mean just that - not "you can move it but it still needs a window". This was recommended to me by store personnel who said *nothing* about it needing a window. If I wanted a unit that needed a window, I would have gotten a WINDOW unit!

Horrible
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This AC unit barely cools our room at night. Don't even think of turning it on midday when it's the hottest. Only coolish air emits from this unit. Will return ASAP as it's quite pointless to use

Posted .Oh no! Tyler, if the room temperature is very high, the air exiting the unit may not feel cold. Air exiting the unit is usually between 17°-20°F lower than the intake air, and may not feel cold to the touch until the room temperature is reduced. If the air conditioner was recently turned on in a hot room, please allow additional time for it to remove “stored heat” from walls, ceiling, floor and furniture. ~Ruth

SUCKS!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had it for one year and died. Because I didn't buy the extended warranty I can't do anything about it. Sorry, but will never buy a Frigidaire product or shop in Best Buy again!
