Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is my review for Frigidaire FFRA0511R1 5,000 BTU 115V Window-Mounted Mini-Compact Air Conditioner with Mechanical Controls. I bought two of these air conditioners for both of my guest bedrooms. We live in Maine and central air isn't really a common thing up here, but I wanted our guest to have the option for AC while they stayed with us as we can have hot and humid days on occasion. While it don't bother us any, I prefer that our guest have those creature comforts. I must say these things work like a champ and is very easy to install. It only took about 2 minutes total as I didn't want to put the screws into the window as we are currently renting. So we did some Gerry Rigging with some duct tape (not beautiful, but it works) and made it work without them. This thing comes with Mechanical rotary controls and really is very basic with no frills - 2 cool speeds, 2 fan speeds, and 2-way air direction. It cooled down my guest rooms very quickly and it did an excellent job at keeping both of them cool all day and all night long. Both of my guest did report that they had to turn it off at one point in the night, because it got to cool. Anyways, with that said, I am defiantly no pro on AC's, but I can say it did the job it was supposed to do and has exceeded my expectations and it kept my guest happy. So I would recommend this to anyone in the market for a smaller window unit AC.
