Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Frigidaire FAK085R7V 8,000-BTU Slider/Casement Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls
Customer Review: Very Happy With This Unit
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this unit for 1 year now am very happy with it. I was glad to find that someone made a casement unit with a high EER. Amazon shipping was very fast, faster than estimated. Others have written about poor quality and I can't say that for certain. My unit did arrive with a slight bulge in the front metal housing, and a small crack in the plastic front at the upper right. Actually in inspecting the packaging it looked to me like it had at sometime (in handling) been dropped. I guess I might have complained, except it was hot and I really wanted to get this unit installed,
The instruction are very poor...but that seems to be the pattern with all new products. The price last year was $350 with shipping, so the price has gone up about 10%. Based on other reviews on Amazon I did purchase the extended warranty which cost me $32, but I have not needed to use it.
I recommend this unit if you have slider or casement windows. The high EER is a plus, I like the remote, the unit cools well, and it is not too noisy.
Customer Review: Failure after two repairs.
Summary: 1 Stars
We had a compressor failure after the first mild NW winter here in Portland Oregon. I just turned it on again today and we have another failure in the compressor bearings. It's unfixable, unless you want to replae the compressor again, and now out of warranty. I would not reccomend this air conditiner to anyone.
There is a quality problem.
Customer Review: Good AC Unit
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this AC for alomost a month and I really can't say a bad thing about it. I love the Energy Star mode which I leave on during the day when we are not home, its not running all day long but its cool when you get home after work, so we should be saving on electricity. It cools pretty much the whole other side of my apartment. We could not use the bracket that came with it, our window sil would not allow us to screw it in. But the side panels that came with it which we screwed right into the AC unit itself seems to hold it up pretty well, very secure. It's quiet too, not too loud at all, perfect for sleeping. When you have to clean the filter, it tells you to check the filter so there is no guessing there. All in all, it is a good AC unit. Happy to have purchased it, good price too I think for a vertical AC unit. Customer Review: Needs better engineering.
