Loud but effective
This is a good air conditioner for families. We use one and it is reliable and actually lowers the temperature at a fast rate. It's loud, though, making it occasionally annoying for when you are trying to have dinner conversation with a lot of people. Which is a common occurence at our house. So it's not always a great option for us. But when it's mid August and you're dying of the heat, a little clanging at the dinner table isn't too bad. We've had our unit for a couple years and it's still going strong, though I can't yet speak to its long term abilities. But with the way it's handled itself so far I assume that it would be a really reliable choice down the line. I know that some people have complained of their Frigidaires leaking, but we haven't noticed that yet. But that is one thing to be aware of and to watch out for. If you want to cool your house in a hurry, I would recommend looking into one of these units before next summer.
