Tools and Hardware Reviews of Sharp Afr80nx 8000 Btu Mid-size Comfort Touch Air Conditioner
Customer Review: Great Air Conditioner, but not "Library Quiet" as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
I have the AF-S85PX which is basically the same. It is also 8000 BTU. Mine has a remote. Controls are 3 fan speeds, timer when off counts down to turning it on. Timer when on, counts down to when it goes off. It displays a thermometer when on fan only. It displays thermostat setting when on cool mode. The autocool feature is a self-adjusting fan speed, which I have not yet used. There is an energy save mode I haven't used yet either.
The unit itself is 18.5" wide X 12" high X 16.5" front to back. These dimensions in Amazon seem like a misprint. [...].
This is a very good air conditioner and has the basic features, no frills. I got two for the living area of a small conventional 1970s era single floor apartment with a combined kitchen and living room with the hot water tank in the middle island closet the living room and kitchen, about 500 square feet in those two room areas. The water tank adds a lot of heat to the area. The apartment is insulated walls and ceiling with rock wool. We also use outside bamboo curtains, and half of the kitchen living room roof is shaded by a tree most of the day.
If nobody is opening doors and nobody is cooking, and I put it on when it first gets hot, one of them alone will almost do the whole house, and even keep the bedrooms bearable, if there are no people, lights or computers running - even when it hits low 90s. But it is nice to have two because they are kind of loud. If we are in the kitchen we put the living room one on, and vice versa. It is the fan that makes most of the noise, but it does blow about twenty feet or so. It is also the highest rated in energy efficiency in its class. I think it is 10.8 EER, 740 Watts/ 7.1 Amps. On the outside the noise is not bad. I don't worry about my neighbors complaining about the noise.
We got one of those $99, 5,000 BTU units for one of the bedrooms, and this 8,000 BTU Sharp seems about 4X (four fold) more powerful, but was only $90 more. You can feel the room start to cool immediately.
We put both 8,000 BTU Sharps on when we cook on a hot day, or just the kitchen one when not-so-hot day cooking. The materials they used to make it was surprisingly very non-toxic, and there is was no vinyl or plastic smell ever. The very little bit of the fumigant you find in all imported products (they are all made in China) now) we easily washed off and blew out within a few minutes. Most of the fumigant odor was in the packaging. The packaging was excellent, very sturdy with plenty of cushioning and highly resilent dense padding and foam rubber.
The side panels for window installation are not held on by screws. They used tabs, as many do nowadays. I did not use the panels. I have sideway sliding sash windows so I mounted the unit with select pine on each side and plexiglas on top. With no screw holes on the side, I bent out one of the two tabs (there's three pairs on each side) and I used 1" x 1" x 1/8"-thick aluminum bar which slid in tightly. I punched holes into one side of the aluminum bar and screwed it into the select pine. I put a piece of plywood under it and screwed a 1" x 2" piece of wood across the underside of the plywood. That 1 x 2 fit in on the window sill between the inside aluminum window tracks and the storm window tracks. So there was no weight on the tracks.
