Excellent Air Conditioner
I used this unit to replace a ten year old Friedrich in-wall air conditioner, which incidentally never cooled as it should from its first day. The Friedrich's dimensions were much larger than this one, and the sleeve that was installed was its actual casing. Removing this sleeve and trying to put in a new smaller sleeve was not really an option because of the work involved in trying to fill the space in the wall (especially the exterior siding) caused by the difference in size. I needed to fill the space within the old sleeve so the new unit would fit snugly. This was a tough task, but I can't blame Frigidaire for that. They provided fill and instructions for nine or ten different brands of in-wall sleeves. Unfortunately, this particular sleeve was not a match to any of those described. I was very happy to find that there were plenty of different pieces of foam and other fill provided that could be cut to fit my area. The unique layout of the Friedrich sleeve/casing still...
Bent fins
I had a similar problem with bent fins and inferior packaging - which is important because the design of the unit requires full airflow to function as designed. I took time to re-bend the grill and fins, but this is an issue. Hopefully the second unit I bought for a backup (these are for an apartment building) doesn't have a similar problem.
So far, so good..
Air Conditioner has been been running almost 24/7 lately, on the energy saver mode. Along with a fan, for circulation, keeps my 650 sq. ft. apartment quite comfortable. The only complaint I have is lack of a thermostat, so it would run all the time on any other mode.
