Frigidaire FAC106P1A 10,000 BTU Compact II Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls  Product Reviews

"We purchased the Frigidaire Compact 10,000-BTU air conditioner to use in the garage. Our son makes carts for handicapped dogs and his workshop is in the garage. We tried a portable unit before buying the window unit. It was a waste of time and money. We did have to hire someone to make a "window" in the garage wall, but it's been worth the effort. The unit cools and dehumidifies the space where he works and it's not noisy. We picked it because it was rated well by Consumer Reports and had an Energy Star rating."

"I needed a spot to do my wood working and race slot cars. So my 450sqft, 2 car garage got turned into manland here in the South. I buried the ceiling and covered the walls and sliding door with insulation, then put 3 coats of epoxy on the floor(the cement dust was coming into the house in drifts). I needed a A/C unit to cool the space. I did a bunch of research on window A/C units. I'm retired from GE, and get HUGE discounts on GE products. Most of the units I found(including the GE models) were only modestly energy efficient The description goes into most of the key points, so I won't repeat them here, but a nice touch not described is the negative ion generation...it aids the collection of dust and makes the air quite pleasant(Like after a rain storm...all the negative ions makes it nice to breath). Installation was easy except for one caveat. The installation assumes you have a wood window unit. How you get around that is up to you. At $259, Lowes, Home Depot or GE couldn't compete, even with inferior units. I've been quite happy with my purchase. "

"I am very happy with this product. Amazon shipping was just great. The unit is a little on the loud side , but works great for cooling. I am cooling around 900 sq ft room and it does a very good job. The thermostat is great as it shuts off when it reaches the correct temp you have it set for. I highly recommend this product"

"So far, I love this unit. I put it in a fairly large bedroom and it keeps the room as cold as we want it to be in the summer heat. Someone mentioned they wish there were only manual controls. At first I thought the remote control was a joke, until I wanted to stay under the covers and not have to get up in the freezing room to turn it off :-) It even has a built in digital thermometer. Nice touch. So far we love it!"
