Friedrich CP08F10 Review
(7,800 BTU) Users say this model doesn't live up to the high standards they have for Friedrich products, especially when it comes to noise and installation. This unit is also much pricier than comparable 8,000 BTU models with better reviews.
Users posting Friedrich CP08F10 reviews on the website of retailer J&R Electronics compliment the cooling power of this 7,800 BTU air conditioner. One user reports that it cools off a 456 square foot studio with a kitchen, and another says it can cool 400 square feet in 95-degree heat. However, even some users who are satisfied with this unit's performance found the installation frustrating and the instructions baffling. While Friedrich CP08F10 reviews at JR.com say this AC lives up to its "ultraquiet" billing, users posting Friedrich CP08F10 reviews on Amazon compare it to a lawnmower and a motorboat.
This Energy Star-qualified air conditioner has an energy efficiency ratio of 10.8. It offers a money saver setting to conserve energy and auto restart following a power interruption. This window unit also boasts a unique EntryGard feature to protect against intruders. While it comes with a 12-hour timer, we found many less costly models with 24-hour timers.
The Friedrich CP08F10 is far more expensive than comparable units with a little more power and a lot better reviews. We expected more from this well-regarded brand.
