Tools and Hardware Reviews of Frigidaire FAA055P7A Compact Small-Room Air Conditioner with Remote Control
Customer Review: good value
Summary: 4 Stars
I just purchased and installed this window ac unit, Its features are nice and easy to understand. On the plus side the EER rating of 11 is the highest I could find for such and small unit,and its Energy Star rated. The remote is easy to use and understand, I really did not care about a remote control but it came with the unit. The added plus is the built-in air cleaner ( who knows if it really works ) but you can turn it off and on. The unit is easy to install and its lite enough not to have to support the base. On the down-side I think its a tad bit noisy at night when trying to sleep, the fan speeds itself are fine and not too bad to get used to. But when the compressor comes on and you hear the refrigerant flowing, it tends to be loud and annoying. I would suggest if your a light sleeper this may not be the unit for you, if your just interested in a energy efficient small window air conditioner then I would recommend this unit.Customer Review: Not very good

I bought this to cool a 12x12 room that has no central air or heat. I had been using an old small window unit that cooled the room just fine but it died. After reading the reviews I decided on the Frigidaire FAA055P7A.
Bad Choice. Very disappointed in the quality and performance.
1. During install, the pull-out accordian style louvers tore in several places. I didn't use excessive force or mishandle them in any way. The plastic is too rigid and thin and when you expand them they start to crack at the seams. There is also a gap between the plastic and the track the louvers sit in.
2. Has a hard time keeping the room at a comfortable temperature when the outside temp is over 80 degrees.
3. When running there is a loud sound of splashing water. I tried mounting the unit at different angles to ensure proper drainage but the problem persists.
Thumbs down on this unit.

I live in a very small studio apartment on the third floor of an apartment building in Dupont Circle, Washington, DC. The building is ancient and has no central air, but this little guy does the trick. It's relatively quiet and powerful enough to keep my @500 sq. ft. studio comfortably cool. It comes with a handy little remote and has an Energy Saver setting (not sure what that does, but I use it as it doesn't seem to change the performance). Install is easy, just follow the directions - shortcuts are NOT a very good idea, particularly if your window is high up (image of grand piano falling on cartoon character's head pops into mine). My only complaint is the unit beeps when you change the settings which is loud and somewhat annoying. Luckily, with the DC humidity and summer swelter, I rarely have to change it from "60" (lowest degree setting) and "High".Customer Review: Easy to install and use!
Summary: 5 Stars
This AC was surprisingly easy to install and fit perfectly in the cut out of my security bars. It took a bit to center the unit and I had to use a power screwdriver for the top bar. All in all, a 20 minute endeavor for one person.
From the first few minutes, the AC cooled the room (12'x14') down and kept it nice the whole night. Every desirable option is there - remote, thermostat, auto shut-off - and they work perfectly. I especially liked the thermostat option for nights, so it would keep the room cool without staying on all night.
It's pretty quiet and I had no issues whatsoever with noise with the unit very close to my bed.
When removing the AC, I didn't drain it properly (you need to leave it at least half a day) so the floor got soaked, but it wasn't bad at all.
Highly Recommended!
