Frigidaire FFRE063WA1 Window Air Conditioner 6000 BTU

Overview

Apartment renters and dorm residents cooling one small room get a compact Frigidaire window unit that also pulls moisture from the air. A remote with a built-in thermostat holds the set temperature from where you sit, not where the unit hangs.

Room-level comfort is what it does well: the remote thermostat reads the air near the bed or desk, and sleep mode eases the temperature up overnight. A washable filter with a clean alert simplifies upkeep. It uses a fixed-speed compressor, so it cycles on and off instead of throttling down.

Who it's for

Students and apartment dwellers with a small bedroom and a suitable sash window will find setup and control simple. Owners of bigger open rooms, or windows outside the listed width range, need a different unit.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

A rotary compressor moves heat out through the window, and room size against the cooling rating decides how fast it pulls the temperature down. The thermostat in the remote measures air where the remote is, so the bed or desk area holds the set point. Moisture removal happens as air passes the cold coil.
