I am an HVAC professional. Many people complain that units do not cool very well, and typically the problem is that they failed to calculate the size of their room, amount of insulation, or heat load. If this is the size unit you need, keep reading!
This unit works well. That is, the air blowing from the vent is very cold. The remote temperature sensor is an excellent idea, as in most houses the air very close to the unit will get cold long before the air at the far side of the room, causing the unit to turn off when the rest of the room is still warm. This unit resolves that issue--just set the desired temperature on the remote control, set the remote down, and point it toward the air conditioner and it will maintain the temperature. The three fan speeds are more than sufficient to let the user choose between a quieter unit (quiet being very relative, read on!) and having the cold air thrown further across the room.
As I write this review, I believe that Frigidaire is the only air conditioner brand to offer an ionizer in some of their models, including this 10,000-BTU beauty.
I have always preferred air purifiers with built-in ionizers, and this air conditioner works the same way, removing pollen and other impurities from the air. The air coming out smells fresh, even when the compressor has cycled off.
But the ionizer isn't the only nifty feature of this Frigidaire. With an 11.3 EER, the machine is exceptionally efficient. My beloved old Panasonic a/c would make a 15-amp extension cord I use to connect the unit to a dedicated circuit warm to the touch. This Fridgie is so efficient, it doesn't warm the extension cord at all.
I also like the selectable temperature sensor in the remote. This enables the a/c to hold the room temperature to the exact setting where you actually sit or sleep, up to twenty feet away from the machine.
