Our takeThe 2026 10,000 BTU U at CEER 16, ENERGY STAR Most Efficient and not recalled. Little owner history yet.Only for a 24-1/2 to 26 in sleeve LG doesn't support, or if you want Wi-Fi in a wall unit, and only with Friedrich's rear grille installed. CEER 10.1 trails the cheaper LG, and the owner record shows too many early failures.

Watch out forU1KWT and the recalled U1QWT differ by one letter (K vs Q).Friedrich's manual says to replace the sleeve's old rear grille with the dual-intake grille in the kit; owners report installers skipping it and units failing soon after. In a 27 in sleeve the gaps can exceed the trim ring; one owner's unit short-cycled until sealed. Friedrich excludes faulty installation from the warranty.
