🌬️ Friedrich CCF05A10A 16-inch Air Conditioner: 5000 BTU Cooling Capacity, 115V, White Review

After weeks of research I took a chance on this Friedrich unit. I am happy to report that he excelled in all areas and exceeded all my expectations. The fan is very strong, it is also very efficient. We have another unit that is 5 years older and costs more and they couldn't be more different. To put it bluntly, this is the best Unity Window I've ever seen. The crazy thing is that this is their old design. There is an updated version that beats this device on all counts (including the price)…

I've read a lot of reviews and researched air conditioners and big name brands so I figured Friedrich would be a good choice. I'm just disappointed with this device. I live in an 11 x 14 studio, on the highest setting this air conditioner didn't lower the temperature in my apartment one degree. It's also very noisy, you can hear it from the hallway of my house. When I get a call to work I have to turn it off completely, even a low level will suppress the call. Don't buy this air conditioner if…

When only the fan is running it is quite quiet at low speed. although not nearly as quiet as, say, a standard fan. But when the compressor is turned on (for cooling) there is a buzzing noise. (Other air conditioners make that whirring noise too, but I was hoping Friedrich would fix that problem.) This unit cycles between cool and non-cool more frequently than the 5000 BTU unit it replaced. It's in a small space (9 x 16 feet) so I look forward to cycling. But this Friedrich seems to turn the…

Do not buy this air conditioner and definitely do not use it in your bedroom if you want to sleep, it is very noisy, registering 65+ in the dB-A range. The remote control is incredibly clunky and doesn't work 50% of the time, it also gets stuck. For example, when you press the "Display" key, which is designed to turn the display on and off, it often turns off the entire machine. Wi-Fi options are limited, for example you can't control whether Wi-Fi is on or off. The device also does not save…

Before buying this unit I read a lot of good reviews about Freidrich air conditioners and my neighbor had a very quiet air conditioner. I was specifically looking for a quiet air conditioner like my daughter's bedroom. This model is quiet enough, but not that quiet. I also wanted the unit to have a thermostat. After just over a month of use in LA in July, we concluded that the thermostat had gone wrong. It looks like the thermostat is in the part of the unit that is outside the window. When…

This does a great job of keeping my bedroom, which is just over 200 square feet, cool. ft. In my opinion, the noise is not too loud. My main concerns relate to the functionality between the remote, the app, and the buttons on the face. The application always knows the settings of your device, and your changes on the device itself are reflected in the application. This does not apply to the remote control, which must be turned on and off in order for changes made elsewhere to be reflected. It's…

This Wi-Fi AC is turning out to be a great device and I'll try to update it after the summer. After 2 weeks of use I was ready to return the device because it was too noisy. It made a very annoying, continuous, crackling or rattling noise at fairly regular intervals, which corresponded to the time before the supercharger kicked in and the noise stopped. Only earplugs let me sleep. Surprisingly, after just over 2 weeks of daily and nightly running, the noise stopped completely. For 2 weeks of…
