Tools and Hardware Reviews of Frigidaire FAA055P7A Compact Small-Room Air Conditioner with Remote Control
Customer Review: Great Value
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is the best value for 165 sq ft. Inexpensive, efficient (energy star), relatively quiet and does the job.
I am very sensitive to noise, especially sudden sounds, but I could sleep with no problems. When the compressor turns on, it is not sudden, but gradual. If you can sleep during rain, you should have no problems with this unit.
Another complain was water inside the unit. Yes, it is there and all AC's have it. However, it is on the outside and you can only hear (and see) it outside.
It will take you about 30 minutes to install (some assembly is required). The instructions are somewhat confusing, but it is relatively easy - all you need is a screw driver. Comparing to my previous AC, this one is considerably lighter. The only problem I found was a narrow hole under the air conditioner. I am not sure why it is there, but I closed it with a piece of tape (included).
I was planning to buy another unit, but my rooms are either much larger or the windows are too narrow.
Customer Review: Great little air conditioner
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this unit about 3 weeks ago and am so glad that I did. My apartment stays hot much of the year, making it difficult for me to sleep. For a few years I made due with a Soleus portable air conditioner in my 110 sq. ft. bedroom, but on very hot days/nights, it just couldn't keep up. I replaced it with this little Frigidaire and I am thrilled with the results! It cools SO much better than the portable a/c. I'm afraid that I can't compare the noise to other window air conditioners, but it's not any noisier than the Soleus. My only complaint is that the directional air flow vents don't give you much choice as to the direction, but based on reviews of other A/C's, this is a common problem with room air conditioners. I would most definitely recommend this baby!
An addendum - I just received my first electric bill since replacing my Soleus Portable air conditioner with the Frigidaire FAA055P7A, and my bill has gone down by $26.00. Yay!
Customer Review: Great little unit. Highly recommended.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this little window unit to put in our living room to supplement our central AC. Our central AC unit is probably undersized for our house and during the 95F + summer days, it just can't keep up. Our living room is the farthest room from the central AC unit,gets full exposure to the sun, and we have a large plasma TV that generates some heat, so during the summer the room can get too warm. This little window unit has a done a great job keeping the room not only comfortable, but very cool. Since this unit is in our entertainment room, I was concerned about a window unit being too noisy and sounding like a jet engine and drowning out our surround sound set up. This unit is actually pretty quiet. It has several different settings, but we always use it in energy saving mode, with the fan set to auto.
The installation instructions and especially the installation pictures leave a lot to be desired. But despite that, I highly recommend this unit if you just need to cool one room.
Customer Review: Great performance, great filtration
Summary: 5 Stars
Here in Montana we don't usually need A/C, but the last few summers have been really hot. Add to that the horribly air quality from forest fires, and this year I just had to buy one. I debated long and hard, and am very pleased with the one that I chose. The remote is handy, saving me steps that can really add up. It was simple to mount in the window, with the help of a strong young man. The filter has done a wonderful job of helping me with my asthma and allergies. Even now that the air looks and smells clean, I can still tell the difference with the filter on vs. off.Customer Review: Great price, very quiet, and cools room quickly
Summary: 4 Stars
This unit works very well in cooling my 12x14' bedroom. It's surprisingly quiet, much more so than other window units I have had, and the remote control is great. You won't find a better deal for a unit of this quality.
