Air Conditioners: Reviews

The small Kenmore 75050 is very inexpensive, but the catch is that it's not Energy Star-rated, and it has few features. With an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 9.7, the Kenmore window air conditioner will cost 10 percent… more to run each year than a similarly sized unit with an EER of 10.7. Otherwise, reviews say the Kenmore does a fine job of cooling small bedrooms, and owners say it's quiet enough. The Kenmore air conditioner has mechanical dials instead of digital controls, and it has no remote control.
