We had our first 86 degree day in NYC yesterday. I nearly died. This a/c unit which SERVED me, was pumping out lukewarm cool air. At 2 AM, I got on the computer and ordered an 8,000 BTU Frigidaire A/C unit off of amazon ... basically, that's now as inexpensive as when I bought the 6,000 BTU unit. It's coming tomorrow. This baby has had it ... But I paid like 160 bucks for it ......
Oh yea, in the beginning there was a noise problem. Here's the secret .. when you HEAR THAT NOISE, you KNOW your machine isn't perfectly level (in accordance with the instructions). I suffered a week or two with the noise, till it got overpowering. Shifted the unit a bit ... and nary a bit of noise the next few days. 4 stars is good. But they just don't last. I live in NYC ... with the constant, dust, dirt, grit entering these units ... Now I clean my filter .... and if it wasn't so expensive,
I could probably have this unit taken out, steam cleaned ... and MAYBE .. it'd be working again ... but that would cost me far more than a brand new one with warranty ... and the new ones have some sort of air cleaner in it (we'll see how that works) ....
When I first installed the 6,000 unit, I was saving 60 dollars a month in electricity. New Yorkers KNOW, Con Ed our utilitiy company, jacks up electric prices upwards of 3X the normal bill during the summer months .... My advice, buy it ... better still, go for another 30 bucks and buy the 8,000 btu unit. The compact model is not much bigger than this one and you won't have to push the unit at full velocity.
