What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: The Product
I purchased a Frigidaire 12000 BTU Room Air (Window Unit) FRA125CT1 on 08/08/2010. Three weeks after 08/08/2011, this window unit would not stop leaking water into the living room. We made sure it was titled properly. I contacted Frigidaire Customer Service asking for technical support. She told me they cannot do anything. She said the unit needs to be replaced, is no good, and is over 1 year old. I asked if all their products are only good for a little more than 1 year? The woman kept telling me it was over 1 year old. I told her I wanted to speak with a Manager. She took a message. Later, she called again to say they would only warrant 60% of the cost. This is not right nor is it good enough. Think again before you buy this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: nice look
What's not so great: the way it works
It's a very loud unit. Even on the low setting and one room over through an archway, I still have to crank the TV volume way up to hear over the AC.
Coming home in the evening on a hot day (upper 80's), I'll have to run the unit for several hours on high to drop a 25' x 12' space from 84 to 80 degrees, which honestly doesn't seem much better than the old 8000 btu unit I replaced.
Unit looks nice and doesn't weigh very much for a 12000 btu unit (if you believe that number) and has a decent feature set. The remote is nice so you don't have to get up to change the settings.
The installation doesn't fit very well in new vinyl windows, so I had to duct tape the sliders in place to seal around their edges.
Overall, I should have stuck with my old beat up A/C.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Affordable pricing!!
I love this air conditioner. It's very quiet and it cools my apartment well. An added plus is that it has a nice sleek design with digital display and the remote has a wonderful gadget that allows for temperature monitoring in the room. All I can say is, it's GREAT!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Powerful Fans, Quiet, Remote, Digital Display.
What's not so great: Remote is not RF, it is IR so you need to be in direct line of sight.
The fans in this unit are amazing and refreshingly quiet. I can stand 20 feet away from the unit and still feel a breeze. Installation was simple it took me maybe 10 minutes to have it up and running, right out of the box.
-air purifier works well
-the unit is solid and seems to be very well made
-the vents are smooth and easy to move
-the display is easy to read and settings easy to understand
-the unit is quieter then the 5000btu unit is replaced
-solid frame with little to no vibration
The only negative thing I have to say about the unit is the remote. While the temperature sensing is great and lets you know the temp. The remote must be in line of sight of the unit in order for it to receive commands and sync with the remote. I just set the remote across the room on a shelf by the door to the bed room and it does a great job of keeping both room cool.
It uses less power and cools much better than my previous units, My older units sounded like a jet was landing outside each time they turned on, this one sounds smooth and quiet. It wil not ruin dramatic moments in a movie each time it turns on.
I love this unit; I would recommend it to anyone. I know I will only be buying Frigidaire in the future.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Quiet, Easy install, Low profile, low power, hi output, nice looking
What's not so great: no remote temperature
I have gone through several different wall unit AC's over the past few years.
The frigidaire 12,000 BTU is so fare the best I have ever had..
It is the best of all worlds. The quietest model for the size and has virtually no vibration. I love how this unit despite a 12KBTU is a much lower profile and size then other units. The face is flush and blends right into the wall unlike other units that are bulky and ugly looking. The remote control works great and there is simple digital temp readout on the ac face.
It really kicks out the air and cools down in no time. The air is propelled at enough speed to cool a large room.
I would recommend this to a friend!
