🚀 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.

    • Great little unit for small spaces
Size: 5,000 BTU Mechanical Controls
Quick update - It was in the upper 90s here all weekend. I turned the A/C unit on about an hour before bed every night and it would cool from close to 80 to mid-70s in an hour when set on "high cool" and 6 out of 7. That made it comfortable to fall asleep. I then turned it to "low cool" and went right to sleep - no issue with the sound. The first night, I was actually chilly when I woke up in the middle of the night so I changed it to 5 out of 7 for the temp setting. That seemed to be perfect. It stayed comfortable all night. To reiterate - this is for a single, small room. The 2 rooms we put these in are 150 - 200 s.f. each. We keep the doors closed when they're running. If that's what you're looking for, you'll probably be very happy! But if you want to cool a bigger space, buy a bigger and more expensive A/C. See below for more detailed initial review: I bought 2 of these little A/C units for the upstairs bedrooms in my house. I live in the south and when it is in the 90s for several weeks at a time, the upstairs of my house stays hot even at night. I got these to make the bedrooms for comfortable for sleeping. They are small units, only suitable for a single room. The nice thing is that a single person can easily carry them from the porch to wherever you want to install them. They are not super heavy. I got mine upstairs just fine. The installation is also very simple. You don't need anything extra - the package comes with the top bracket and the side panels. If you want to buy a support bracket, you could but it is not a heavy unit so not necessary. Installation took me an hour in total. That included a quick trip to the hardware store for an extra piece of wood to put on my window frame. If you have a storm window frame on the outside that is a bit higher than the inside window sill, you'll need a piece of wood. This is explained in the instruction manual. Once we got that, it was quick work to drill a few holes and put it up. The air conditioner feels very secure and does not wobble. It also does come with weather stripping if you want to get all fancy, but we'll just keep the bedroom doors closed so I didn't get too careful. The unit is remarkably quiet! The extra piece of wood we added to the window sill probably helped. But it sounds like something I can sleep through no problem. It sounds like white noise - kind of like a hotel air conditioner but it is a constant hum so it won't bother most people. It does not rattle. But keep in mind, this is not a $500 air conditioner and it does make noise! It is just soothing noise because it is making the air cool and happy. Overall, I recommend this air conditioner if you have a single room that you want to cool down, don't mind a humming white noice sound, and also don't want to spend a lot of money. ... show more

    • Very Good, Almost Terrific
Size: 5,000 BTU Mechanical Controls
This is a relatively inexpensive, quite light, very low-power window A/C that absolutely gets the job done for a small room. We're using it to cool an under-insulated 100 sq ft, and it has no problem. On it's Low setting, it'll cool the room from Too Hot to Colder Than I Intended in half an hour. It's so light that we installed it in an upper sash instead of the lower sash, and it's no problem. Be aware this is an inexpensive unit, without a calibrated thermostat (you set warmer or cooler, like with a typical fridge, but you can't set a target temperature in degrees) or a remote. Doesn't bother us, but don't be surprised. However, a couple of caveats: First, the installation instructions aren't good. To be fair, I've never seen a window A/C that came with good installation instructions, which is strange because it's not complicated. The trick is to be aware that the side panels should be vertical, with the lip around the edges on the inside of the window and frame. If you have a window anything close to standard, when the side panels are aligned correctly, the A/C is in the right position and tilted at the right angle. You want the foam between where the A/C meets the window and windowsill, to fill in the gaps. That covers the hard part of putting it in correctly. Second, A/Cs like this have a layer of styrofoam dividing the inside from the outside, except for the drainage hole and where tubing goes through. The foam is often in two pieces that meet in the middle. If the foam isn't thick enough or doesn't seal tightly where the pieces meet, you'll get a lot of exterior sound coming in -- and a lot of bugs. This A/C needs thicker foam and a tighter seal. It's not bad, but another 50 cents of styrofoam would vastly improve it. When it's off, it may allow noticeable amounts of hot air in, and you will get noise and may get some bugs. Because the split in the foam is inside, you can't just tape it up yourself. This isn't a huge problem -- I've seen some that are basically bug freeways -- but overall this unit has a nice fit and finish, and it's a shame this one important detail isn't up to the level of the rest. ... show more

    • Great product from a reliable brand
Size: 5,000 BTU Mechanical Controls
I have been using the Frigidaire FFRA051WAE air conditioner for a few weeks now. So far I would say it is a good air conditioner at a great price. It is much smaller and lighter than my previous air conditioner but still very powerful. This specific model weighs 40lbs. I use this AC unit to cool a small bedroom and the 5000 BTUs is plenty. My room gets extremely cold in an hour running on the High Cool 7 setting. Helpful tip - if you want your room to stay cold at night and the overnight temperature is going to dip into the 50s, run the AC for 1-2 hours on the High Cool setting before the temperature drops below 60 degrees, then shut it off for the night. If you install some cheap insulation foam on your windows and doors your room will stay cool much longer. Never run a window AC when the temperature outside is below 60 degrees because it can freeze up the unit. I ran my previous air conditioner everyday in the summer and never knew why it kept shutting off on its own on cold nights. I thought there was a short in it. There must have been an internal chip failsafe that kept my old air conditioner from destroying itself... this is why it still works to this day. This Frigidaire air conditioner was relatively easy to install right out of the box and fit securely in my window. The only tool I needed was a philips screwdriver. A handy person could probably install this AC unit by themself in about 10 minutes. Two notable mentions from the installation manual... the 5/16" pitch is built in to the design of the AC unit so no need to worry about doing it yourself. Pitch is the backward tilt which causes water to exit the back of the machine and drain to the outside. In step 1 on page 2 they mention placing the unit on the floor to install the side panels but what they don't specify is that you must place the unit on its back to do so. To get the accordion panels in place lay the air conditioner on its back with buttons face up and slide each panel through the 4 holes on each side. You'll know when you've done it correctly. I almost didn't buy this air conditioner due to the negative reviews about it not cooling and/or breaking right away. Am starting to think that people give too much weight to negative product reviews these days. Electronics are generally tested before sale and rarely fail right out of the box. Paying extra on an extended warranty is betting on your electronic to fail which is almost always a losing venture. It's also worth noting that most people never leave positive reviews on any items they buy, they only leave a review if something is wrong with it. This behavior highly skews product reviews in a negative way. My main complaint regarding this Frigidaire air conditioner is that there is no built in timer. But that would likely have raised the price closer to $300. My old air conditioner had a timer but was very heavy and much harder to install. There are timers online you can buy that should work with air conditioners. But as mentioned previously if you insulate your room properly you can probably get by running this AC unit for just an hour or two most nights. My only other complaint is a minor one. I leave my air conditioner plugged in and turn the unit on and off on a daily basis. I would much rather have push buttons on an air conditioner than a knob that you turn that could eventually break off. Final note: When I first got this Frigidaire air conditioner it did not produce super cold air immediately right out of the box. I believe it took a few hours. This is something to keep in mind. Just because an air conditioner doesn't get super cold instantly doesn't mean it's broken. ... show more

Edit: Actually I wasn't doing it correctly lol. The temperature setting only matters if you set the bottom dial to max cool. This actually works fantastically. My room is larger than 150 sq ft and it clears the whole thing. It's nice and small and it works great. I recommend putting duct tape over the sides as they let in a bunch of bugs. ... show more

    • Perfect for a Small Room.
Size: 5,000 BTU Mechanical Controls
Purchased two of these as they were on sale and so far they've been working great. Both my mother and I are enjoying cold air in the middle of this heatwave. -They are light-ish. Not that difficult to manage but still probably want to have someone else give a hand with placement. -The cord is really long and that actually came in handy. -The output is really good. <Though I still have a tower fan there to help distribute the air further/faster but have actually been a little too cold a few nights. -It is quiet, and I thought it was broken at first lol. -Will restart if power goes out. <Glad it does because this is kinda a deal breaker for me. I had an AC that needed to be turned back on after every power outage. That thing might as well have been a paperweight for the amount of good it did me. Cons: -This is a general issue with any AC and that being the radiator is easily warped. Nothing you can do other than show extra precaution, but that's a design issue that nearly every window unit has. -I don't consider it a "Con" but this unit does not come with a remote or selectable temperatures. It has high cold or low cold (and fan only high/low) but no way to select a specific temperature. Note: -An important notice is that (with most any cooling system) you NEED to let the AC sit upright for at least an hour before turning on. The coolants have to settle for it to function correctly and it may not work properly if you don't give it time to do so. ... show more

    • Great little unit after some tweaking
Size: 5,000 BTU Mechanical Controls
I had a central unit scare in the summer peak (luckily just a blown fuse that I was able to locate in the air handler), and pulled the trigger on two of these units, a 10K BTU and a 5K BTU. I was extremely pleased with the 10K unit. It can get a little loud when it calls for max cool because it blows some serious air. The 5K unit, I was not pleased so much. To make a long story short, it wouldn't adequately cool my bedroom even on max cool. It probably would have, but it would short cycle (turn on, then off rapidly). Often times the short cycle was so quick it would strain to restart the compressor and sometimes give up starting it and kick back to fan. I pulled the front cover and and found the thermostat sensor wire in contact with the evaporator coil. I carefully pulled the wire off the coil, and that cured all the issues. That wire behind the filer should be in front of, but not touching the coil. If it is in contact with the coil it will make the unit think the room is colder than it really is when the compressor is on calling for it to turn it off. The wire will then quickly reach room temperature causing it to turn the compressor back on, and repeat. It will never cool the room to the thermostat's actual setting. So out of the box I was really disappointed, but once this minor factory issue was resolved it turned out to be a pretty decent little unit. It no longer short cycles, and is able to adequately cool my bedroom without the need to set it to max cool. The gurgling noise it makes as the compressor kicks in is a little annoying, but at this price point I don't expect whisper quiet operation. The 10K unit I have doesn't make the gurgling sound that I can tell, but it moves so much more air it may just not be noticeable. Overall, the for price point I am satisfied with my purchase. ... show more
