Frigidaire FRA054XT7 Review
Frigidaire FRA054XT7 4 Star Rating: Cheapism Good Pick
Summary:

Despite a few reports about durability problems and fewer fan speeds and cooling modes than the comparable Kenmore model, this 5,000 BTU Energy Star unit garners praise from experts and users alike.

Users repeatedly mention this unit's quick, easy installation and clear instructions in Frigidaire FRA054XT7 (starting at $159, Amazon) reviews at Best Buy. Some users grumble about noise and some say it doesn't cool quite as well as they'd like. But others are blown away by the cooling power of this 5,000 BTU air conditioner, according to Frigidaire FRA054XT7 reviews.

Users posting Frigidaire FRA054XT7 reviews at Walmart appreciate the features on this air conditioner, especially given the price. It's Energy Star qualified, with a 10.7 energy efficiency ratio, and comes with an energy saver mode, a 24-hour timer, and a remote control. Unlike our other pick this size, it offers only two fan and cooling speeds, which does seem to make a difference to consumers. In a Frigidaire FRA054XT7 review at Newegg, one user wishes there were three fan speeds. A user posting a Fridigaire FRA054XT7 review at Best Buy says both fan speeds are too high and the AC could use a third speed that's lower.

The Fridigaire FRA054XT7 is covered by a full one-year warranty, plus five years on the sealed system. Despite its shortcomings, this AC seems to be a good value and a solid choice for a small room.
