Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE6.3 / 10
Our takeA small indoor cooler for one dry bedroom or office. The spec sheet rates 470 CFM and 280 sq ft, well below the Amazon title's 745 CFM.The basic small-room window unit: knob controls, 150 sq ft, CEER 11.0 and a 13 in window opening. Fine for a small bedroom on a budget; louder and less efficient than an inverter unit.

Watch out forHoneywell's listing says it performs best where humidity is under 60%.Water sloshing inside is the slinger design and normal per Frigidaire; drilling the base pan voids the warranty. Keep the 5/16 in rear pitch or it leaks indoors; owners report mildew smells in humid weather. Warranty excludes units transferred from the original owner.
