Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Friedrich Compact Programmable : CP10E10 10,000 BTU Room Air ConditionerCustomer Review: Pros and Cons Summary: 3 StarsOkay, here goes a somewhat long winded review. I purchased the Friedrich CP10E10 about 2 weeks ago when my old one died. A friend of mine had an older Friedrich model that worked really well and was so quiet that I knew my next air conditioner was definitely going to be a Friedrich. It just may have been a big mistake. You be the judge...
Pros
*Super cooler, can cool down my whole (small) 2 br apt
*Money Saver option- shuts down when selected temperature has been attained
*Comes with installation brackets for your windowsill that make the ac secure to the window
*Excellent service- I had to call the service center for a noise and they were able to come out right away to repair it.
*Energy efficient 10.8 EER
Cons
*Loud compressor(main cooling engine)- it sounds like an engine revving up and actually disturbs my sleep
*Installation is very extremely difficult. believe it. You must slide out the main unit from the chassis (metal sleeve) to remove a styrofoam shipping block. Then install the sleeve in the window and then slide in the main unit.
*A problem with a strange noise had me calling the service center. Why does a new unit require a visit? Apparently the fan is made cheaply and was causing a slight rustling noise. It could happen again is what they told me.
* When I called the service center they said they had been getting many calls about the noise level of this series (CP) of Friedrich air conditioners.
Servicers suggested I buy the more expensive Quietmaster unit. It's $800 or so. Ain't gonna happen. A window ac should not cost that much. Esp since I am a renter.
I think that's enough for now. I will add more on durability as time goes.
