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 window unit we'd put in a bedroom first: inverter, compressor outside the glass, CEER 15 and a suffix that isn't recalled. Skip it if your window is short or you need heat; no U has a heat mode.

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.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. When we checked in October 2026 this listing had no featured offer, only a third-party seller. Comfort Sense (remote sensor) fixes the built-in sensor's wrong room reading.
