Spec Frigidaire 6,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner with Remote (FHWC063TC1) Midea U 6,000 BTU U-Shaped Window AC (MAW06V1UWT) Photo Our score SCORE 6.5 / 10 SCORE 7.5 / 10 Our take Our budget pick for a 150-250 sq ft bedroom: remote, digital thermostat, three speeds, auto restart and 265 CFM on high. CEER 11.0, so it is louder and less efficient than an inverter. Our quiet pick for a small bedroom: the closed sash sits between you and the compressor, and no 6,000 BTU U is on the recall list. The catch is fit, since it needs a 22-36 in single- or double-hung opening at least 13.75 in tall. Type Window U-shaped window Cooling (DOE / SACC) 6,000 BTU 6,000 BTU CEER 11 15.1best Inverter No Yes Heat mode None None Noise, lowest setting (maker figure) 52 dBA n/a Window width, min 23 in 22 inbest Window width, max 36 in 36 in Min sash opening 13 inbest 13.75 in Warranty 1 yr 2 yrbest ENERGY STAR No Yes Watch out for Eco mode is on at start-up and stops the fan with the compressor; switch it off for steady airflow. Keep the 1/4-1/2 in backward tilt; drilling the base pan voids the warranty. Warranty is one year of functional repairs and excludes units transferred from the original owner. CPSC recall #25320 (June 2025) covers the 8,000-12,000 BTU V1QWT, AV1QWT, W1QWT and U1QWT Midea U models over mold from pooled water. Read the suffix on the listing and again on the box label. Owners of earlier U models report a high-pitched inverter whine some people hear and others don't; buy where returns are easy and run it overnight on low fan in week one. The built-in sensor misreads room temperature; turn on Comfort Sense (the remote's sensor) on day one.
