About - Frigidaire FAA065P7A
The FAA065P7A is part of the air conditioner test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, air conditioner models like the FAA065P7A are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Comfort: This is how well temperature and humidity are controlled at the low-cool setting. The best performers held temperatures to within one-and-a-half degrees of the setpoint. Indoor noise low: This judgment of indoor noise at the low-cool setting combines an objective measurement of noise level using a decibel meter with a subjective assessment of noise quality (how annoying or grating the particular sounds were). Indoor noise high: This judgment of indoor noise at the high-cool setting combines an objective measurement of noise level using a decibel meter with a subjective assessment of noise quality (how annoying or grating the particular sounds were).

Features & Specs - Frigidaire FAA065P7A
Btu/hr. The unit's cooling capacity, as supplied by the manufacturer (and as certified by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, AHAM, unless otherwise noted in the Recommendations & Notes). Capacities range from 5,000 British thermal units per hour (enough for a modest-sized bedroom) up to 12,500 Btu/hr. (adequate for a large, sun-drenched room or even two interconnected rooms). Btu/hr.	6000
EER The energy-efficiency rating, as supplied by the manufacturer (and as certified by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, AHAM, unless otherwise noted in the Recommendations & Notes). The higher a unit's EER, the lower its operating cost compared with other models of its size. EER	10.7
Min window width (in.) The minimum and maximum window-widths into which the air conditioner will fit. If your window opening is narrower than the minimum width, the air conditioner will not fit. If your window opening is wider than the maximum width, the side panels will not cover the entire opening. Min window width (in.)	22
Max window width (in.) The minimum and maximum window-widths into which the air conditioner will fit. If your window opening is narrower than the minimum width, the air conditioner will not fit. If your window opening is wider than the maximum width, the side panels will not cover the entire opening. Max window width (in.)	38
Weight (lbs.) In general, smaller-capacity models are lighter, while larger-capacity and some high-efficiency models tend to be heavier. Weight (lbs.)	48
Remote control Much like the remotes for home-entertainment devices, these wireless devices control almost any function on the unit. They're especially useful if access to the air conditioner is limited, as when the unit is mounted through the wall at ceiling level. The remote generally works well anywhere in a room, although some may not work as well when they're used far to one side of the air conditioner. Remote control	Yes

Cheap and noisy, with an annoying beep

By Jim from Wash DC area on 7/21/2009

Cons:

Loud, Uneven Cooling

Describe Yourself:

Quality Oriented

Primary use:

Personal

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The control panel on the unit is so small that it's basically unusable; you end up just using the remote control. The worst feature of the Frigidaires is that every time you change temp, air speed, etc the unit makes a loud electronic beep which is very annoying. When you are half asleep and simply want to change a setting, that loud beep will wake you and anyone else in the room. Don't recommend this unit in a room where you want to sleep, there must be better ones out there.

For a small room, it is quiet. It cools like a mother. Did I mention it is is quiet? And for an average retail price of 170 bux? LOL, a no brainer.Get it.P.S. My model is the FAA0068P7A, but it is the same BTU rating as this. Not sure what the differences might be. (I got mine at [...]).
