🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

The 5000 BTU AC unit generally impresses with its small size and energy efficient cooling. It is easy to install and delivers impressively in cooling fairly large and small spaces alike. However, some users report that some adjustments may be required, such as separating the thermostat sensor wire from the evaporator coil to prevent short cycles. Humid environment users may also find the unit stores condensation rather than draining it, which can lead to somewhat loud noises.

Pros

  • 👍 Efficient cooling for small and larger spaces
  • 👍 Energy efficient
  • 👍 Fairly straightforward to install
  • 👍 Simple design with no unnecessary frills

Cons

  • 👎 The 5000 BTU model may require some adjustments due to factory issues
  • 👎 Stored condensation may result in occasionally loud noises
  • 👎 No drain mechanism in case of excess water build-up
  • 👎 Limited connectivity features such as Wi-Fi and remote control

Should I Buy It?

Based on the reviews, the 5000 BTU AC unit seems like a great temporary solution or addition to a central AC system, especially considering its energy efficiency. However, potential buyers in very humid climates or those wanting high-tech connectedness may want to research more options. Overall, if you're willing to potentially make some manual adjustments, this might be a strong choice for its performance and price point.

    • FANTASTIC little ac unit!
Style: 5,000 BTU Mechanical Controls
During this years heat wave, my wife and I bought this to keep our second story bedroom cool. The room that its cooling is about what the manufacturer rates it for, about 150-200 sq ft. This ac unit keeps it cold, easily! Not cool, cold. Its built solid, but not heavy, so moving it and set up is a super easy task. Its not oppressively loud, its not quiet by any means but we sleep through it just fine. Last week, we had a hot humid day with a heat index of 104 degrees, and using an indoor thermometer, this unit set on low kept the bedroom at 64 degrees no problem. On high, I have no doubt we would have been sub-60 degrees easily. Great value, couldn't be happier with this little ac unit! ... show more

    • Smaller than expected yet cools like a large AC unit
Style: 5,000 BTU Mechanical Controls
Well built, very durable, easy to install, small enough to fit in even outdoor shed Windows which are tiny and it does what it's supposed to do...that makes it a 10 star review in my mind. The unit is not overly noisy and helps us to sleep with the gentle sound it makes...almost like white noise. Easily cools a 15x16 bedroom, which is at the end of our central air trunk and is usually 10° warmer in summer and 10° cooler in winter. I'm glad I bought an additional unit for my husband's 13x20 "man cave" shed outdoors... It keeps the him cool outdoors in that shed, even with temperatures over 90°. I am very pleased with these two units and would highly recommend to anyone needing a cooling unit for rooms that are just not cooling down like the rest of the house or outdoor gardening sheds and man caves... I honestly think it would even help in a small animal Barn. The price is amazing and worth trying. Ease of cleaning and the remote were frosting on the cake!! ... show more

    • A little fussy, but works well
Style: 6,000 BTU Electronic Controls
So two parts to this - installation and operation. Installation is, honestly, a little fussy. Most of this has to do with one's individual windows and how they are designed...storm windows require a slightly different strategy than, say, wooden. The challenge is then how to make sure something like this has enough included hardware to be flexible with the installation. I have to say, there isn't a whole lot of included hardware here. I'd view the in-box items to be an 80% solution, and even at that there's likely a bit of improvisation required. In my case I did have to improvise, such that I even went full-OCD mode and installed an outside support bracket. HOWEVER, there's plenty of insulating tape and such to help smooth over any, shall we say, imperfect installations. Most critically, be sure the unit is tilted slightly down toward the outside, otherwise drainage and such will become a problem. Operation is, really, quite simple. This is the 2024 model so it does overcome certain issues that previous models may have had. Main thing here is to be sure the BTUs are sufficient for the space. This is, really, a rather small (in dimension) unit and it's not going to work well in a largish room. For instance, a typical TV or Living Room is very likely going to be too much for this unit to handle. A simple bedroom (read not a Master Suite) is the ideal space. Good flexibility in operating modes. I generally keep the thing on Eco and let the unit decide when to switch on or off. On very hot days I'll switch out modes to keep it on constantly, but then my body runs hot. Variable fan speeds of course, and choice of cooling or fan only. The remote is, at least in my opinion, delightfully minimalist. There isn't much complexity one can really pack into an air conditioner remote after all. In terms of noise, I mean, it's not obnoxious but then any kind of fan like this is going to make noise. In my opinion it's a non-issue. The fan does not seem to be too big for the unit, so the engineering is really there to make it reasonably quiet. I do like this. I really wish the installation (including the instructions....) was all a bit more intuitive, but then that's very probably a "me problem." But once installed, which is really a one-time-headache, it works well. I like it. ... show more

    • DEEP SOUTH HIGH HUMIDITY WARRIOR
Style: 12,000 BTU Electronic Controls
Does the job. No noisier than any other air conditioner that sits in your living room 5 ft from your head. Is it super quiet no. Is it super loud no . Is it loud yes it reminds me of my old dishwasher. I'm sensitive to high sounds high pitch sounds. As long as it doesn't have any of those it doesn't bother me. The reason I'm sticking with Frigidaire is I had a six year old 15,000 BTU Frigidaire window AC unit never did any maintenance on it except clean the little filter screen to the front. Left it in the window all year long for the past 6 years. I was ignorant and I didn't know you were supposed to do anything to it. It kept working, I kept using it. Had a crappy tenant with multiple pets stay in there for about 8 months didn't even clean the filter screen and yet it was still hanging in there still reaching 60° in a matter of minutes for that particular room it was in. Had to take it apart wash all the mold out that he caused and 6 years worth of vegetative matter that got in through the slots, pine needles that kind of thing. The drain hole was clogged up. It came as a sleeve unit so there was no way to just take the bottom thing off and wash that off and it weighed over a hundred pounds, that's the bad side of a sleeve so it survived despite that extreme amount of neglect on my part. It did not survive us taking the back off cleaning it out and doing everything else to it. Waited 36 hours turned it back on. Worked immediately reached cold immediately but now the fan has this grating noise to it that I can't live with so I'm giving it to the handyman he can fix it and keep it. I got one of the 12000 BTU and put it in the same space that the other 15,000 was in. I just ordered a 12000 BTU because it's more appropriate sized for this small cottage. It sits in full sun all day long Non-Stop no trees relative to underground plumbing and wiring. Originally a concrete foundation shed that was converted from a 24 x14 to a cottage complete with open cell foam insulation drywalling , real bathroom in a separate room . SeparateCloset . Separate storage area main area has stackable washing machine dryer that vents outside properly, 18 cubic foot refrigerator, an air fryer ,coffee pot, electric tea kettle , two giant overhead ceiling fans, electric frying pan and microwave....All exhaling heat and humidity into the same space thats under 500 ft. Would I have done the space differently knowing now what I didn't know then , absolutely. Open plan would have been hugely better and much more energy efficient and one air conditioning unit would have done it. A separate space for the washing machine and dryer where the storage room is. When all these things are in the same area the humidity climbs back fast so this AC unit run in dry mode and eco absolutely works to maintain your temperature and can rapidly lower the humidity and does a great job of it. And if it would just cut itself off right there after the compressor stops I'd be sitting in high cotton. Unfortunately all the window air conditioners once they reach the set temperature and the compressor cycles off THE FAN continues to blow for the next 2-3 minutes ,sitting right next to a humidity reader. I've got like five of them in the room spaced out in different areas to make sure they're averaging about the same throughout the room and they do you're better off to turn the air conditioner off immediately and not let it run in eco mode if you're there. Since I never used to have a reader for humidity it's probably ignorance is bliss kind of thing, but it does go back up by about four points in humidity immediately on all of them when the compressor kicks off and it continues to run on eco for those few minutes while it blows the fan only. I listed all those extreme conditions so you can see it could do the job, it's doing the job with all this stuff in one room it can certainly cool your living room or bedroom down. I have another one of the exact same one that I purchased last month it's in the kitchen window I'll run the one in the bedroom just at night time and then the one in the kitchen during the daytime I do not need both of them at the same time and they act as a backup for each other if anything ever happens. Power consumptions not horrible in eco mode, but we're far from summer so only time will tell. ... show more
