Pros: It puts out cold air.

Cons: Where to begin. The Adjustable Window Slider does not fit tightly in the window. It needs weatherstripping or calking to fill the gaps. The exhaust hose does not fit securely into the air conditioning unit. You'll need duct tape to keep it on. It is ironic that while its the right size for cooling a bedroom, it is so noisy that its all but impossible to sleep with it on. It has a "low" setting but it runs so high at this setting that I don't think its anyone's idea of low. And it doesn't have the ability to cycle off and on. When it gets too cold, you have to turn it off manually, and when it gets warm again you have to turn it back on manually, which is rather inconvenient if you're trying to sleep.

Pros: good price with promotions and rebate

Cons: the video on the unit listing shows a 2-hose unit, which I was excited about. the unit is actually a single hose device, which is less desirable. i will keep it and use it, but i feel a bit cheated because it is advertised on the video in the listing as a 2-hose unit but it is not.

Pros: No longer any.

Cons: Well after running the unit for a bit, a problem occured. It cannot sense the temperature of the room. So it always runs at full speed. For instance, the air conditoner is set at 86, the room is 73, the air conditoner in auto mode is on high with the compressor going and will not switch down to low speed and just the fan on.

Other Thoughts: I reached out to Fredrich. They basically said tough luck.

Pros: Compact, air is very cold, quiet for a portable unit, and the remote is nice.

Cons: The way the exhaust tube connects to the unit. This could use refinement. I ended up using a bit of tape to fully secure the hose to the the unit, otherwise it would not stay securely attached. The rest of the window kit is just fine.

Other Thoughts: Even with my grip, this is very well worth it. Out cools other portables I have used in the past.

Pros: Great value with discount program and rebate. This unit is reasonably quiet and does a good job of cooling the moderate (12x15) bedroom I am using it it. Window kit works well in a vertical sliding window, which I did not expect. It was very well packed and arrived without any damage, and very easy to set up. It is somewhat quieter and much lighter than an older unit I replaced. I have been using it nightly for about a month now and it easily keeps the bedroom at 75-77 while I keep the rest of the house at 85 at night.

Cons: Without the discounts and the rebate, price is quite a bit higher than what I could get a similar LG unit for at the local Home Depot. It does have the drawback of any single-hose system of this type, in that it exhausts only and causes air to be dawn into the house from somewhere else. In my case there is a noticable inflow at the stove vent over the cooktop, but this is probably the least objectionable place since it is at the other end of the house. Placement of this unit is also somewhat restrictive by the fact that it has intakes on both sides of the unit - so don't count on putting this in a corner or against a piece of furniture.
