Low-profile air conditioner (about 200 square feet)
- Low-profile design
- Lightweight
- Remote control
- Attractive design
- Energy Star-rated
- Limited airflow to the right
- Expensive
- Some noise complaints
The Kenmore 75062 costs more than most 6,000-Btu air conditioners, but for a low-profile unit, it's still a bargain. Owners like the shorter chassis this model offers because it blocks less natural light and can be readily moved from room to room. It weighs only 40 pounds, and owners say this air conditioner is much easier for one person to install than other models. Features include remote control, electronic controls and digital temperature display, energy-saver mode and timer. One downside is that it doesn't effectively direct air to the right, so you may want to consider a different model if the window you're using is left of the area you want to cool. If you don't need a low profile design, the 6,000-Btu Frigidaire FAA065P7A (*Est. $200) costs quite a bit less.
