Friedrich Uni-Fit 10,000 BTU Through-the-Wall AC (UCT10B10A)
Model UCT10B10A
SCORE5.1 / 10
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.

Before you buy
- 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.
