Our takeThe remote-control version of Frigidaire's 5,000 BTU unit: same CEER 11.0 and window fit as the FFRA051WAE, plus a timer, sleep and dry modes, auto restart and nearly twice the listed airflow.Windmill's separate budget line at CEER 11.0. We haven't reviewed it; for a quiet, efficient small-room unit we'd buy an LG or Midea inverter instead.
