Frigidaire makes the best window air conditioner overall. See it on Amazon: geni.us/WindowFrig8k
We researched 2018's best new air conditioners and tested the top three brands, and Frigidaire had the best cooling performance. It was also easiest to install.
Our picks for the best window AC in 8,000 BTU size for 300+ square feet:
1. The best overall: Frigidaire - FFRE0833u1 geni.us/WindowFrig8k
2. The quietest air conditioner: Friedrich - Chill CP08G10B geni.us/WindowFriedrich8k
When purchasing a window air conditioner, the most important features to consider are:
• Do you have a vertical sliding window?
• Room size - follow mfr. recommendations to avoid the dank.
After testing, we found that the Frigidaire is the best Window AC.

Your Best
Frigidaire cools down 60 degrees f but it has a bearing squeal china bearing are no good
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
*These U shaped units are Very quiet **Fastly.Cool*
The design makes this AC a possible alternative to ductless DYI systems. It works great. The remote control could be more visual aid oriented like a backligh design. Is impossible to see the lcd at least for me. Easy install ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_hHgTlzH3uk31Fe2RVS3xEbXHGaN_z5Tation. Came on time . Great comfort around the house 5 🌟 again. Follow mfg instructions for care and all and this should be the only AC you need for those of is that don't live in new homes with central AC
This was EXTREMELY HELPFUL! Thanks especially for the sound comparisons and time-lapse installation videos. This is a great exploration of things one can only speculate on online or sometimes even in a store! (and speculating on ACs is EXPENSIVE!)
Thanks for taking the time to do these reviews. Ordered the 6K Friedrich mostly after this video. Also i want to give my thanks where in the written review you pointed out how sound measurements work with sound doubling in loudness every 10dB. It's the small details like that that point to some of the readers to know that you more or less are paying attention to what you are writing and measuring.
Thanks Dan
Interesting tip about matching btu and room size thanks
Great review!
Can I run this on the Inergy Apex? What’s the energy power consumption? Also will this fit in a 2ft by 3 ft shed window?
Can you suggest what would be good for a 10x12 shed thanks Dan for sharing.
Very good advice. Can you please review on Toshiba 5000BTU window AC?
Thank you
I have a Whirlpool 7k for our house in the UP. Digital, 3 speed, easy to clean filter. Ccccold. AND quiet! Even on high cool. Works like a charm. 3 years old. EZ 2 install.
Moved into a 3 storey townhouse with ducted air con and heating the circuit breaker computer piece broken . I am having to toss the system and get a Panasonic heat cool aircondioning x2 the original company went under. No spare parts, and it fuses our power source. Power company charged us 200 for the power surge. All because of the faulty boards on the unit. Building is only 5 years old. I appreciate the info on the air cons .purchased a portable cooler with a hose to get by. Thank you for the great info.
Great job
Thank you! I'm so tired of researching Window A/C units, you made it easier after the one of about 18 yes quit working! Gonna try to install myself! (Frigidaire)
good day sir...i just wanna ask if it is okay the aircon to get wet from rain?tnx ahead sir ...love from 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
I love Homelab ac love it put out go much cold air ,easy to install .
i bought a 6000 btu frigidaire for a 120 sqft room....it is suppose to be over sized.....but if i set it lower than 77F and outside temp is about 90F, it will run continuously....when it is hot outside, my walls and ceiling are not hot. so i guess insulation is not a problem
Hey how do you turn on the AC to be at its coldest temperature on the Frigidaire FFRE0833U1 8,000 BTU 115V ? I can’t figure it out. What temperature should it be at?
Good job on the review, thanks, nice Dan!
Can i install it side way (or vertically?)
I live in a loft which is actually an attic it gets very hot (over 100 degrees)and when the energy saver is on it shuts off after 10 minutes and in it never catches up is there a brand that runs continuously?
Currently shopping for a window unit that's quiet Frigidaire specs 58 decibels on high and yours indicated 79 decibels which is really loud?
Those square feet charts can be deceptive since rooms are three dimensional. I have vaulted ceilings in my bedroom, and a 5,000 BTU wouldn't really cut it. Even with a 6,000 BTU air conditioner, the air was really dry. I currently use a 8,000 BTU air conditioner, and it seems about right. I do use a small humidifier on a humidistat to add some humidity back to the air, but if the fan ran constantly, I doubt that would be an issue. I prefer a cycling fan to save on electricity and overall life of the air conditioner motor.
Just got a artic king 8000 but from Wal-Mart for 218.00 it works great in our 16x20 bedroom
what temp is it outside the house and in the bedroom before you turn on ac. What temp is the room after its run an hr,2 hr etc. Theres really know way to know how good it is till we know those temps and the time line
I live on the 2nd floor, the window has a crank knob that you turn to open? What do you suggest?.
Sometimes you can get a casement air conditioner that will fit: amzn.to/31k3GRl
Hey I got the Friedrich with energy star and remote one and so what is the best setting for it please. It's so hot in Florida. I got a walmart Haier as well for a mobile home.
Man Jorge I was born and raised in Florida I moved to San Diego for a year and half and I came back ..let me tell you something for the most part the weather in San Diego was absolutely perfect I mean my God was it amazing..I left San Diego few days ago because of health issues and didn't have fam there but when I left the weather was literally 69 during the day 67 at night that was the high and low ..I mean for July 27 that is amazing ...it does get 85 even 90 but very very rare if your close to the water it's just amazing
Thank you for your thorough review
I have the frigadaire
my room is about 150 Sqf when i got it it wasn't really cooling my room at all including a 6,000 btu do you know what it might be what i could be doingr wrong.
Did you remove all plastic packing sheets from vents?
Is there cold air coming out? Does warmer air come through on fan mode?
What thermostat/mode setting are you using (e.g. "cool mode and 72 degrees, fan on high"), and can you hear when the compressor starts and stops?
Even though it's not recommended for a bigger BTU than what's really called for my question is what about a kitchen living room area for 18 BTU but instead can a teen get a 24 because I have more than for Windows and I live in Texas so it's always hot
Official recommendations say to add 4,000 BTUs for a kitchen, so if 24 is the closest size that's available then go for it. www.energystar.gov/products/heating_cooling/air_conditioning_room
id love it if you guys old look at the options with evaporated air coolers
thanks for the vid really helped I got the Frigidaire 8000btu
are you happy with it? what's your room size? i'm thinking of getting that one too
@@Gjerda im happy with it especially the auto on and off once it gets to a certain temp energy efficient. room size cant really tell because my room isnt a perfect square to measure but its bigger than your average small room. i recommend the product.
Saul Campos does it get ur whole room cold?
Lea Pot yes it does but it depends how big is your room. If you install it in a not to big of a room it can be a bit loud even on low fan. So the 8000btu is great for a big room. If your room is small you should get the same one but the 6000btu. Overall their both great a/c. This is the second summer they are being used.
I have the same ac
Where did you purchase the Friedrich unit? The link ended up taking me to Amazon but the price was $90 higher than you paid.
Sadly, prices go up and down all the time. Top-ranked units usually go out of stock during peak season. You can try appliance stores instead of Amazon, but it's usually hard to beat Prime shipping for speed and convenience.
If you have the model name you can find the cheapest one online at Camelcamelcamel.com and even track the price.
try Bjs if ur a member 8000 btu 189.99
2021 Update?
How does Haier, perfect aire and midea compare?
At that price point, the gamble you're taking is on quality control: all the parts probably come from the same OEM. One or the other might be slightly quieter depending on how they designed the insulation and so forth, but availability is all over the place so it's hard for us to test them. We stuck with the biggest names so we could at least give you something to compare against that should be available where you're shopping.
Haier makes great window a/c units.I have used two of them.Do not buy a Haier refrigerator.Read the reviews.Walmart was selling the a/c units for about $95.00 now it looks like the sell for about $150.00.
Has anyone ordered an air conditioner from Flockek website?
My frigidare on low rattles..only week old
cool
What about danby is it better ?
Danby doesn't make much of their own stuff; we tried to test the best-available products from manufacturers with a closer connection to the components. (Though even Friedrich uses parts from other manufacturers.) Danby isn't likely to be worse than any other inexpensive generic "window shaker" AC, but we didn't find anything that stood out as a reason to test their window units.
I've looked everywhere for reviews on Soleusair window AC units and couldn't find any. My 24,700 btu worked good for the first year,2nd year barely did the job and this year,it doesn't cool at all! I've kept it clean and this is what I got. Warranty ran out 3 weeks ago! This the 2nd product I've bought with this brand name and it's the last! Always had great service from Frigidaire products,but I'd have to travel 60 miles to get one,but I'm sure it's worth the drive! Soleusair,in my opinion is junk,don't waste your money!
Thanks for that report!
Frigidaire, Whirlpool, and Haier are my go to's for AC. At least for the modern ones. What made me not like the Friedrich's is the fact they use LG compressors, and I've had nothing but bad luck with LG. Y'all should compare a dual hosed portable AC to a window unit to see if there's difference in efficiency, I'm curious because Dual hosed portable units are supposed to be MUCH more efficient than single hosed units. Single hosed units work but not as fast or well, noise isn't an issue with me. They create a negative pressure (basically a vacuum) in the house, pull the cold air coming out and blow it back out to cool off the condenser. At the same time, that negative pressure pulls hot air from cracks and crevices in the attic and outside, making the rest of the house hotter overall... thats why you see these new BTU ratings on them. 12K BTU machine is equal to 7.5K BTU window unit. If you buy portable buy DUAL HOSED! Make them popular because they're much better!
Check out the chart here: www.yourbestdigs.com/reviews/the-best-portable-air-conditioner/#dual
That's a set of 12k portables vs. an 8k window unit. Even dual-hose portable designs are seriously down-rated under real-world tests. It would be great if dual-hose options were more popular, but portables are clunky enough as it is and it seems like manufacturers are averse to the extra hose for that reason.
If ya cut a hole intha wall& mount it up high on tha wall,1 or two ft down from the celing, you'll get MAX COOLING & AIR CIRCULATION! !!ALSO YU CAN SECURE YOUR WINDOWS !!;
I just purchased a FRIEDRICH CHILL SERIES CP12G10B 12000 BTU. ITS SUPOSED TO BE DELIVERED NOV 12TH 2019.
IT SAYS I CAN INSTALL IT IN WALL OR WINDOW.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE I CAN INSTALL IT IN THE WALL.
IT ALSO SAID IT WILL RUN ON A 110 OUTLET WHICH I ALWAYS THOUGHT COULDN'T BE DONE.
ANYONE OUT THERE CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.
The Kenmore ac unit is made by the same company as Frigidaire so the same things factor in but I would personally buy the Kenmore because the Frigidaire looks ugly in my opinion and modern units work best in vinyl windows.
Fair enough! picking brands to test is very tricky that way. Glad you found an AC you like to look at!
the friedrich chill is made by LG anyway. if you want quality product get the friedrich kuhl
gross?
My old wall unit was a Friedrich and lasted over 15 years. I just noticed today that the stock battery in the remote also lasted this long.
went with this Frigidaire and I just turned it on and it cooled my huge room in less than 10 minutes on LOW. Pretty good.. I like it so far.
R22 or R410a? R410a destroy the ozone layer.
Most of the models here probably use R32. Check each model's website though. For example, the 8,000-BTU Friedrich Chill CP08 in this video review uses R32 but the 6,000-BTU Friedrich Chill CP06 uses R410A.
R22 is an HCFC. It is an ozone depleting refrigerant.
R410a is an HFC blend. It does not harm the ozone layer. It does however have a high Global Warming Potential (GWP). Many manufacturers are switching to R32 which has a much lower GWP than R410a.
NO to friedrich, my 1.5 year old 15K btu unit rear fan would run but the blade would not spin with it. No one to service it. Spent a fortune on that thing too. It is not the friedrich from years ago.
The reason the Frigidaire is a lightweight is because they are very cheaply built there what we call disposable air conditioners. The Friedrich is a much better built air conditioner that’s why it’s heavier and quieter. LG units tend to have a high frequency of repair record their fan motors are not the most reliable.
Things have changed in the last 4 years...
This is almost an asmr video
I have been using window AC's for years. I know that the newer one's are efficient but they are very cheaply made.
Stay away from the Toshiba's.
I just bought a 10k btu Toshiba and it does not cool as well as the same size LG I previously owned. Definitely will return soon.
looking buy one for my room that doesn’t have air. for an affordable price which window ac do you recommend??
@@soydesv The LG's are pretty good and affordable. I have had two for a while now. Frigidaire's are good too but cost a little more. For the money, I think Haier is a good buy too. Good luck!
Fridgare is so noisy. Never again. Went right back to the bjs return.
need to scroll to find the info... waste of time
best one is discontinued
The Friedrich did not sound any quieter than the Frigidaire witch will last longer anyway.
Friedrich will last for ever.
it will last 6 months. its crap made of styrofoam
