Great AC & the best deal I could find online
I was worried about buying this, because some reviews said it was noisy, but it’s not bad at all. If you buy a window AC you can’t expect it to be silent - I find it completely tolerable. I can even stand in front of it & talk to people on the phone without a problem. The fan is powerful, too. I never put it higher than low & it cools my apartment very well. I find the timer & other features very useful, especially remote sensing. I am really happy I bought this.
My place is basically an M layout, with the AC in the farthest leg, & I can go in the other rooms without needing a fan. I’m still impressed by that. If you are shopping around because you’re price-conscious, this is the best 10,000 btu deal you are going to get - everywhere else charges at least $50 of shipping & frequently more for the AC itself. You probably want a friend to help you install it, as it weighs 83 lbs.
This AC has single-handedly made the hot, sticky, humid NYC summers totally bearable & I can’t recommend it highly enough!

This is a “Must Buy” if on a tight budget!
We did a lot of comparison shopping and tested many models before buying The Frigidaire FAC106P1A Compact II 10,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls. We recently moved to an apartment that only allowed a thru the wall type not to exceed 10K BTU but we wanted a unit that if we ever left here could be used in a window. We also wanted this unit to be Energy Star Efficient, the highest output for recycling the air and a high level of removing moisture. We compared models that ranged from this ones low price up to $700.00. As we are only allowed 1-unit in our apartment and it is about 900 square feet, we knew this wouldn’t cover the whole apartment, but we hoped that with its superior to most specs. It would at least make the whole place somewhat comfortable. Well, it does and does it well. We set it at one temperature and it cycles on and off and just by using a couple small fans, does keep out entire 2-bedroom apt. comfortable (though very chilly in the living room where it is). Some have said it is a bit loud, we find it about average considering it moves more air per hour than about every other model out there. To move that much air, the fan must be fast and so a little extra noise is expected. I would prefer it to be quieter, but I honestly think if they did, it would not do the great job it does. Bottom line, if a little extra fan noise will not bother you and you need the best bang for the buck, this unit is for you!
