Tools and Hardware Reviews of Friedrich Compact Programmable : CP06E10 6,000 BTU Room Air ConditionerCustomer Review: Nice 'n' Cool 'n' Quiet 'n' Worth every $! Summary: 4 Stars
First: I admit to being very hesitant about purchasing this AC, but the decision was final when I heard Friedrich's is based in Texas. Buying USA products is extremely important to us. We were also informed most of the AC's on Park Avenue are Friedrich's.
Second: As noted by Duke, the instruction manual is poorly written & lacks information. 15 minutes into the installation, hubby informed me that he would most likely not have the unit up and running 'till the next day. An hour later I thought installing AC would be grounds for divorce. (Much worse than blinds!) The Frame guide is the piece that had hubby stumped. The illustration is not clear but hubby shrugged this off telling me we don't live in a perfect world. After quite a few attempts placing the piece in different places, he got it right. Warren's comment "about being tedious to install" is an understatement and putting it quite nicely.
Mounting was not a problem in our 75 year old Anderson windows because the unit rested on the bottom frame of the storm window. However, I warned hubby not to drive holes in to our Chestnut window stool! Turned out this wasn't necessary as the unit is quite sturdy with brackets in the top window frame.
After a late and hurried supper, hubby experienced the same problem venetian girl encountered attempting to get the AC unit in to the sleeve or cabinet. Once it was in, however, hubby glowed with the accomplishment and the easy part of running it was left to me.
We appreciate the energy saver (errr.. Money Saver) as it surely will keep a bit of $$ in the bank for taxes.
However, the timer is one option we probably won't use as, indeed, it raises the temperature. My only real complaint is regarding the Air Flow. The vertical adjustment does not direct the air over our heads while we're seated. Even so, the Auto Swing is a nice feature!
The Friedrich's AC is extremely quiet compared to our 15yr. old Kenmore. (See veneitian girl's description of "The Bazooka." ROFL) In fact, I would agree with D.Berkland that Friedrich's is whisper quiet. However, the rattle in our old windows is most annoying. But, Hey, "this is not a perfect world."
Bottom Line: The Friedrich's is whisper quiet and easy to operate. The 6000 BTU unit cooled our 13 x 22 room very quickly and we could actually hear the TV without blasting the speakers!!! So, not only does it save $$$: it saves our hearing!
