Great A/c!
on September 25, 2015
Posted by: Lila

Bought this a/c for my parents about 1 month ago. So far so good! It cools down our living room/dining area well. It's not a huge space but is bigger than a typical bedroom. I actually only bought it because there were no other portable a/c's available at the time. There were also no reviews on it so i bought it on a whim. Here are some pros/cons
Pros:
-its portable (duh)
-2 steps required to put it together
-cools area
-easy to use and comes with remote control
-its a nice looking unit
-the vent closes on its own when its turned off which is great! that way it keeps all the dust out
-its portable (duh)
-2 steps required to put it together
-cools area
-easy to use and comes with remote control
-its a nice looking unit
-the vent closes on its own when its turned off which is great! that way it keeps all the dust out
Cons:
-the 2 step assembly was very frustrating, the plastic coil tube would not stay attached to the a/c unit and when i would try to attach the coil to the window attachment it would also not hold. It's made of plastic so it feels kind of flimsy. I actually had to tape the coil to the a/c unit and the window attachment to avoid it coming off. Because of this it makes it difficult to move it anywhere else
-its kinda loud
-it was pricier than other units i saw online
-the size is quite big, its not HUGE but its large and it does require a designated space because u can't just squeeze it in anywhere. We have it placed next to our couches and its actually a little taller than the couch (the couch is lifted).

I definitely recommend checking out other units. u might be able to get a better quality unit for a similar price. Its not a bad buy but i think the fact the coil is plastic leaves a lot to be desired since i paid so much for it. I also didnt like that i had to reinforce with tape so the coil would stay attached. I have not complaints of the function of the unit because it works perfectly.

My first AC in 50 years

I live in Los Angeles (a few miles from the beach), with no ac or heat, we usually don't need it. Either i'm getting older or it's getting hotter, but this summer I had enough. Was delivered today and WOOOW, I had to go into another part of the house to warm up. We were amazed at how rock solid this appliance is. Vent attachment was the only tricky part. I'm not sure how long the quarter turn will hold. If needed, I could use duct tape.

Adequate

Bought this because of an unusual heat wave in the usually-temperate San Francisco Bay Area. Normally, a/c just isn't needed. We used it to cool a small 2-bedroom apartment, which is above its pay grade, but then, what's "hot" to us doesn't compare to the load it would bear to cool one small room in Dallas or Tampa. It was easy to set up. Frigidaire was good about replacing parts that were damaged in transit, due to poor quality packaging. It does an OK job cooling the room it's in, especially with the head start it got by the nights dropping into the low 60s. Downsides are that it's noisy and the venting system is pretty ugly. It doesn't blow ice-cold at any setting.

Hey MamaT! In reviewing your portable air conditioner, model FRA093PT1, it is designed to cool an area of 400 square feet. During the cooling mode, your appliance will need to be exhausted out of a nearby window so that the warm exhaust air can be ducted outside. We welcome you to contact us directly should you have any additional questions. Kind Regards, Theresa

With the hot weather I wanted something in my bedroom so I could sleep. Works great in a master bedroom. Because of the humidity the water collecting dish needs to be emptied often.

Works well.

Bought this earlier in the summer. It has worked well to take the edge off the heat and humidity. For hole drilling to the outside, a 4" would have been better regarding installing, but it worked out well in the end. We let the condensate drain with a hose down the stairs into a bucket, which held enough to let it run. IF we would have had forced air to circulate, it would have been best, but that is not the air conditioners fault. Hope it lasts many years.
