Tools and Hardware Reviews of Frigidaire 5,000-BTU Mini Window Air Conditioner
Customer Review: Okay, but not impressive
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't really know how the tag 8000 would appear in this page, but I was looking for several 8000BTU AC at the same time and was convinced that this is the lowest price AC. Then the tragedy happened. I got an overpriced 5000BTU AC instead and cost me too much too return so I have to keep it.
The lessons: 1. Check the BTUs and specs first! And for this AC, it is decent but not strong enough to cool a bigger room fast enough. It uaually take more than 40min to cool down to 80 degree or higher for a living room sized room in the evening!
2. Also, check the price on google product and Neweggs! I am a long customer to both Amazon and Neweggs, and I must say that after comparing so many AC, Neweggs's price ROCKS!
Customer Review: Average at best

It does what it is supposed to do, which is cool a room. It does have a hard time maintaining a temperature below 70 degrees when it is above 90 degrees outside, even if you set the temperature for 68 or below. I purchased a Haier three years ago and was told afterward that they aren't very good or reliable, but not only is the Haier still going strong, but it outperforms this Frigidaire easily AND is quieter and quicker at cooling a room. Both are 5000 BTU and both claim to cool a room of approximately 150 sq. ft. The difference is the Haier does it all the way down to 65 degrees if that is your liking and the Frigidaire doesn't. Pass on this one and buy yourself a Haier.Customer Review: Great while it lasts.
Summary: 3 Stars
When it was working it was amazing, my room has a huge t.v. a 360 and gaming p.c. in it.
For those who don't know that makes a lot of heat.
had it for 2 years and while it was on and worked it was amazing. kept my room ice cold.
my girl friend is from Alaska (I'm here in Mid state NY) and she loves the temp in my room... before...it just stopped.
one night it just made a odd sound and then it was a very nice fan.
alas, the life span was not as good as i would hope.
i give it a b- on a curve of doing what it does.
if i was a hard grader. id say c++
Customer Review: Frigidaire A/C
Summary: 3 Stars
All is usually good when ordering from Amazon, except this time when the box arrived it had a dent in the side. The A/C unit was also slightly dented, and when we reported it, it was a big deal to be home for UPS to meet and see it, etc. We waited twice (they were late) and missed them a third time. Kind of a big hassle, so we just pried the dent out and it seems to be working fine. Hope the warranty is not voided...???
Otherwise all's good... :)
Customer Review: Rattles
Summary: 3 Stars
The unit is noisy. Not just operation noise from the motor and fan but also internal rattles denoting poor construction and choice of materials. There are polystyrene baffles inside that could be responsible for some of this noise. I am considering opening it up to try to detect and rectify the rattles and vibration problems.
The remote, timer for on and off, economy function, and appearance are all good.
