FrigidaireFHWC064WB1 Window Air Conditioner, 6,000 BTU Electronic Controls, White

I have been using the Frigidaire FFRA051WAE air conditioner for a few weeks now. So far I would say it is a good air conditioner at a great price. It is much smaller and lighter than my previous air conditioner but still very powerful. This specific model weighs 40lbs.I use this AC unit to cool a small bedroom and the 5000 BTUs is plenty. My room gets extremely cold in an hour running on the High Cool 7 setting.Helpful tip - if you want your room to stay cold at night and the overnight temperature is going to dip into the 50s, run the AC for 1-2 hours on the High Cool setting before the temperature drops below 60 degrees, then shut it off for the night. If you install some cheap insulation foam on your windows and doors your room will stay cool much longer.Never run a window AC when the temperature outside is below 60 degrees because it can freeze up the unit. I ran my previous air conditioner everyday in the summer and never knew why it kept shutting off on its own on cold nights. I thought there was a short in it. There must have been an internal chip failsafe that kept my old air conditioner from destroying itself... this is why it still works to this day.This Frigidaire air conditioner was relatively easy to install right out of the box and fit securely in my window. The only tool I needed was a philips screwdriver. A handy person could probably install this AC unit by themself in about 10 minutes.Two notable mentions from the installation manual... the 5/16" pitch is built in to the design of the AC unit so no need to worry about doing it yourself. Pitch is the backward tilt which causes water to exit the back of the machine and drain to the outside. In step 1 on page 2 they mention placing the unit on the floor to install the side panels but what they don't specify is that you must place the unit on its back to do so. To get the accordion panels in place lay the air conditioner on its back with buttons face up and slide each panel through the 4 holes on each side. You'll know when you've done it correctly.I almost didn't buy this air conditioner due to the negative reviews about it not cooling and/or breaking right away. Am starting to think that people give too much weight to negative product reviews these days. Electronics are generally tested before sale and rarely fail right out of the box. Paying extra on an extended warranty is betting on your electronic to fail which is almost always a losing venture.It's also worth noting that most people never leave positive reviews on any items they buy, they only leave a review if something is wrong with it. This behavior highly skews product reviews in a negative way.My main complaint regarding this Frigidaire air conditioner is that there is no built in timer. But that would likely have raised the price closer to $300. My old air conditioner had a timer but was very heavy and much harder to install. There are timers online you can buy that should work with air conditioners. But as mentioned previously if you insulate your room properly you can probably get by running this AC unit for just an hour or two most nights.My only other complaint is a minor one. I leave my air conditioner plugged in and turn the unit on and off on a daily basis. I would much rather have push buttons on an air conditioner than a knob that you turn that could eventually break off.Final note: When I first got this Frigidaire air conditioner it did not produce super cold air immediately right out of the box. I believe it took a few hours. This is something to keep in mind. Just because an air conditioner doesn't get super cold instantly doesn't mean it's broken.

It's small but very, very powerful. I used it for an area of my upstairs that was nearly impossible to cool in the Summer. Not only does it cool it, it can actually make it TOO cold! 🥶 It works REMARKABLY well and it's total expected annual cost is $48. The only minor downside is that it is a bit loud, but it's a white noise loud, so not terrible.Overall, I am extremely happy with it and would recommend it especially if you have a room that you need cooled but don't want to spend a lot of money doing it.

The air conditioner was easy to install and it runs good and quieter than my last one. It is for a small room. When you are thinking about this unit, keep it in mind. No complaints so far. It's a basic model. No remote, no digital read out. Over all for the price it's a good air conditioner

We are very pleased with this unit. It cools very well, even in extreme conditions. We find it very quiet compared to other units we've had. We have extreme heat warnings nearly every single day and this little unit still keeps us cool. It was easy to install and the controls work well.

This was probably one of the best AC units I have ever had. It was cheap and works really well. The only problem I had was the back metal grate had dents in it. It cooled a whole room in just 20 min and was very easy to use.

FINALLY! After installing it, (waiting an hour-directions) I turned it on, to be very surprised and delighted by how cold AND how quiet This 10,000 btu is. I have another frigidaire, 8,000 btu upstairs. 2-3 years old, and the same, cold and quiet.Last year I bought a GE 10,000 btu, it was loud and not as cold is this new one. This year, i installed the GE, and it blew room temp air inside, and cold air outside! I was pissed! I called them and told them. They used to be great years ago, but like many tech things, quality goes down while profit margins go up.So i had to buy another. Almost bought one of those "saddle" models, but the tech is too new to trust for me. Amazon helped speed up delivery after there seemed to be a problem. After I called and talked to a couple people, it was delivered a day early. Thank you! Let's just hope the quality lasts, like my other ac. Can't believe i finally got lucky. Cold AND quiet. Gotta love it.

These 5000 BTU units work great. They are slightly loud but the noise is uniform, no loud start ups or rhythmic vibrations. Dont like that the units dont start back at your last setting.

I've had this AC for a year now, and it's not too shabby! Works well and definitely keeps the room cool, however the AC itself feels pretty flimsy or cheap in my opinion. Sometimes the refrigerant system doesn't kick on at all, which defeats the whole point of having an AC. It's not because the AC is too cold or frozen over inside, because I'll have the AC just on the "fan settings". I've checked for water build-up and there is none, I've cleaned the AC, cleaned the filter, etc.. When the refrigeration system doesn't kick on at all, I just turn the AC off for at least 15 minutes, and when I turn it back on the AC usually works again. Just pretty upsetting that I have to find workarounds to make the system work properly when I need it, especially in the heat. Overall, I'd say this AC is okay in a pinch and has held up decently over time, I just wish it worked better and more efficiently.

Just simply a wonderful little air conditioner. It blows cold and is very quiet. The controls are the most simplistic which is just great. It's like a 1980 Chevy Chevette. Simple, reliable, and does the job. Highest rating.

Perfect for cooling my 20 sq meter bedroom. I never have to crank the cooling to high cooling. Low cooling can maintain 24 C when outside is 30 C. The only downside is the noise. I cant sleep with it on at night. Can't complain too much cause price is good and installation is dead simple.

The AC was alright to install.I haven’t had the chance to use it during a heat wave yet, but the one time I did use it- my room was nice and cool.

Great price ,easy to assemble . The window wall has no plug ins. I had to buy an AC 15 foot cord for unit. I hate having extension in the way so 15 foot can be hidden. The air conditioner does what it's supposed to do. Room is small so it gets cold when I put on high cold. It came with everything even weather stripping .. I recommend this unit highly .. 5 stars .

This works great, cools a few small rooms it's quiet easy to install cheap to run compared to large ones
