Tools and Hardware Reviews of Frigidaire FAC124P1A Compact II 12,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls
Customer Review: Fast, efficient cooling
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for an open space that has 4 rooms, basically open to each other. I put it in a window( very easy install) that gets little sun during the day, and now that I've begun to need it, I am thrilled. It is fast, cools the entire area, and maintains the temperature I choose perfectly, and cuts the humidity quickly. I was worried about 4 open rooms getting efficient cooling, and I do use a fan to circulate the air further, but this a/c exceeds my expectations.
As for sound, well, it sounds just like and a/c. But clear. No rattling, just the compressor coming on, and it doesn't bother me at all, but I expect an a/c to generate some noise.
I did buy it as an Amazon Prime item, though, and they shipped it to a local carrier who took a week to contact me for delivery. I ordered it early enough in the season and got a great price, so it's not so much a negative.
Customer Review: Pretty good, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
This unit does exactly what the manufacturer says it will do. So far so good. However; the directions, as others have stated, are minimal and the photos are washed out with too little contrast so don't rely on precise instructions for installation. I had to install this in a window with a jalousey-type mechanism as it was the only window in my home that was suited for placement. It took about a week part-time to remove the mechanism and rebuild the framework to accept the unit which is now installed and working well. I just cleaned the filter for the first time this morning. It was rather difficult to get the guard off the front so I could get to the filter and almost as hard to put it back on. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with the unit and at this point just hope the Arizona desert won't be too much for it. We shall see. Sure do like that remote control.Customer Review: Decent unit

We're generally satisfied with this AC unit. We live in an NYC apartment and this is for our living room (with hopefully some spillover coolness to make the entryway and kitchen passable).
Our living room is 16 x 12 feet with 8 1/2 foot ceilings. The unit does cool it down but we don't think it has the cooling power of the older unit we used to have. It is a little louder than you'd like but that's true of most of them still.
Still heavy (though less so than our old unit). Had to have our super correctly install it with the legal NYC supports required. Overall no major complaints and would generally recommend it so far - we just bought this summer of 2010 so can't speak to longevity.
Customer Review: Excellent Product!

This unit is fabulous!! I have 1200 square feet of space and my ceilings are 7 feet and this unit has no problem cooling it! I keep my area at 73 degrees. Plenty cool enough for me. I know it says 640 square feet, but it runs perfect. I also love the auto features. It shuts down when the temp is met! The fan also adjusts itself to run at a speed required to cool the area. The noise level is what is to be expected from such a large unit,(12,000 BTU's). I have no cons for this unit. I am very happy I bought it! BTW... the temps in my area are in the low to mid 90's and high humidity. If you are in the market for a air conditioner... BUY THIS ONE!Customer Review: Frigidaire FAC124P1A

It looked like it was returned to Amazon after someone dropped it out of a 2 story window. It was bent, dented, and broken. I sent pictures of it to Amazon when they sent me an e-mail for feedback on the packaging, but have not heard anything back from Amazon. The packaging was very good, so I believe someone bought it, dropped it, repackaged it, and sent it back to Amazon. Amazon apparently did not check it before they resold it. I am very disappointed with Amazon, and wish that this review would allow me to add the pictures of the unit that were already sent to Amazon.
