Tools and Hardware Reviews of Frigidaire 5,000-BTU Mini Window Air Conditioner
Customer Review: Best Air Conditioner I've seen for the Price!
Summary: 5 Stars
We now have 3 different air conditioners in our apartment that we've acquired over the past year in New York and this one is by far the best.
Besides this unit, we have a cheap manual 5,000 BTU unit (Daewoo) and a $300 7,500 BTU SPT portable air conditioner. The Daewoo doesn't have an automatic shut off or an energy saver temperature control function like the Frigidaire unit and its almost twice as loud. The STP, though quieter and energy efficient, is a BIG unit that takes up quite a bit of space in our bedroom (65 pounds, roughly 3 feet tall). Though its more energy efficient (An EER of over 12!), it does not have an automatic shutoff (just a timer) or a remote control like the Frigidaire.
The Frigidaire is a really elegant unit and perfect for a room with a television. If one of our other units breaks, I'll definitely replace it with another one of these!
Customer Review: Fabulous!

I am a senior citizen, 66 years young. I have been renting a bedroom space from a friend of mine for over 13 years. Last summer my a/c conked out and I have been on line looking for a replacement this year.
After searching on-line for a replacement, I decided to buy this a/c from amazon and I am so delighted with my choice. 48 hours to the minute I purchased on-line, the a/c arrived at my door from UPS, free shipping, and the a/c was delivered to my front door.
I was able to get the a/c up to my room by myself, was able to install it myself, and managed to get it into the window myself.
Then I turned the a/c on. Blissfully cool. How lovely. 89 degrees here in Maryland yesterday, the a/c working beautifully. Yes, it is noisy. So what!
Great Buy for the buck! Amazon does it again!
Customer Review: Okay, but not impressive

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.

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++
