Frigidaire FAA055P7A

I'll make this a quick review. This little window air conditioner, cools down my very hot bedroom. I live in Palm Springs, California, where it can easily reach 110+ degrees F in the late Spring, Summer,… and early Fall. My bedroom has a big 42-inch plasma, that heats up the room, and I also have the sun shine on my room almost all day. This air conditioner was very easy to set up, comes with a remote control, and I'll finally be able to sleep in a nice cool (or cold, if I so choose) bedroom. I give this product an A grade.

I think this is the best value for 165 sq ft. Inexpensive, efficient (energy star), relatively quiet and does the job. I am very sensitive to noise, especially sudden sounds, but I could sleep with no… problems. When the compressor turns on, it is not sudden, but gradual. If you can sleep during rain, you should have no problems with this unit. Another complain was water inside the unit. Yes, it is there and all AC's have it. However, it is on the outside and you can only hear (and see) it outside. It will take you about 30 minutes to install (some assembly is required). The instructions are somewhat confusing, but it is relatively easy - all you need is a screw driver. Comparing to my previous AC, this one is considerably lighter. The only problem I found was a narrow hole under the air conditioner. I am not sure why it is there, but I closed it with a piece of tape (included). I was planning to buy another unit, but my rooms are either much larger or the windows are too narrow.
