Tools and Hardware Reviews of Frigidaire FAA084P7A MS II 8,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls
Customer Review: Effective but noisy
Summary: 4 Stars
I guess I shouldn't complain. It does a great job of cooling the area I need cooled, but is way too noisy to use in a regular-sized room. So even though it does the basic job I regret not trying the 6,000 BTU unit and will probably end up replacing this one with the smaller unit.
I got the 8,000 BTU unit in early 2007. I didn't believe I could find a window a/c that was quiet enough for the bedroom, so I run this one in an adjacent room and use a fan to blow the cool air into my bedroom. This isn't efficient but seemed better than the alternative, and I was resigned to it.
It's efficient, cools well, and the fan is pretty strong, but it's way too loud to use a phone or hear the TV without turning the volume way up. The compressor isn't too bad, but the fan is very noisy. I just bought a Frigidaire FAA065P7A 6,000 BTU MSII Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls. Despite the small difference in power, the 6,000 BTU unit is only a fraction as noisy. Most of the noise seems to be in the fan, and maybe there's no way to put a fan in that runs quietly while circulating the air well. Still, I'm regretting my purchase a bit, and wish I'd taken a chance on the 6,000 BTU one last year instead of getting this one.
I guess the bottom line is that if you actually need 8,000 BTU, this is a decent model. But remember that bigger isn't necessarily better. A bigger unit cycles on and off more, which is less efficient and, in humid areas, won't dehumidify well while the compressor is off. I suggest making a store let you turn units on before buying so you can see what you're getting into!
