Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE7.5 / 10
Our takeThe 8,000 BTU version of Frigidaire's remote unit: 350 sq ft, 320 CFM on high, CEER 10.9 and a 14 in opening. Covered in our FHWC063TC1 and LG 8,000 reviews, not scored on its own.The December 2024 U revision, not recalled, at CEER 16 with ENERGY STAR Most Efficient status. About 6% less power than the CEER 15 V1UWT for the same cooling, which is nice but not worth chasing a hard-to-find listing.

Watch out forNot reviewed on its own. CEER 10.9 is below the 16.0 DOE minimum for 8,000-13,900 BTU units made from May 26, 2026.Midea sold the U2QWT and the recalled U1QWT with the same CEER ratings and near-identical titles; one digit separates them.
