🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

The 5000 BTU AC unit generally impresses with its small size and energy efficient cooling. It is easy to install and delivers impressively in cooling fairly large and small spaces alike. However, some users report that some adjustments may be required, such as separating the thermostat sensor wire from the evaporator coil to prevent short cycles. Humid environment users may also find the unit stores condensation rather than draining it, which can lead to somewhat loud noises.

Pros

  • 👍 Efficient cooling for small and larger spaces
  • 👍 Energy efficient
  • 👍 Fairly straightforward to install
  • 👍 Simple design with no unnecessary frills

Cons

  • 👎 The 5000 BTU model may require some adjustments due to factory issues
  • 👎 Stored condensation may result in occasionally loud noises
  • 👎 No drain mechanism in case of excess water build-up
  • 👎 Limited connectivity features such as Wi-Fi and remote control

Should I Buy It?

Based on the reviews, the 5000 BTU AC unit seems like a great temporary solution or addition to a central AC system, especially considering its energy efficiency. However, potential buyers in very humid climates or those wanting high-tech connectedness may want to research more options. Overall, if you're willing to potentially make some manual adjustments, this might be a strong choice for its performance and price point.

    • Great product from a reliable brand
Size: 5,000 BTU Mechanical Controls
I have been using the Frigidaire FFRA051WAE air conditioner for a few weeks now. So far I would say it is a good air conditioner at a great price. It is much smaller and lighter than my previous air conditioner but still very powerful. This specific model weighs 40lbs. I use this AC unit to cool a small bedroom and the 5000 BTUs is plenty. My room gets extremely cold in an hour running on the High Cool 7 setting. Helpful tip - if you want your room to stay cold at night and the overnight temperature is going to dip into the 50s, run the AC for 1-2 hours on the High Cool setting before the temperature drops below 60 degrees, then shut it off for the night. If you install some cheap insulation foam on your windows and doors your room will stay cool much longer. Never run a window AC when the temperature outside is below 60 degrees because it can freeze up the unit. I ran my previous air conditioner everyday in the summer and never knew why it kept shutting off on its own on cold nights. I thought there was a short in it. There must have been an internal chip failsafe that kept my old air conditioner from destroying itself... this is why it still works to this day. This Frigidaire air conditioner was relatively easy to install right out of the box and fit securely in my window. The only tool I needed was a philips screwdriver. A handy person could probably install this AC unit by themself in about 10 minutes. Two notable mentions from the installation manual... the 5/16" pitch is built in to the design of the AC unit so no need to worry about doing it yourself. Pitch is the backward tilt which causes water to exit the back of the machine and drain to the outside. In step 1 on page 2 they mention placing the unit on the floor to install the side panels but what they don't specify is that you must place the unit on its back to do so. To get the accordion panels in place lay the air conditioner on its back with buttons face up and slide each panel through the 4 holes on each side. You'll know when you've done it correctly. I almost didn't buy this air conditioner due to the negative reviews about it not cooling and/or breaking right away. Am starting to think that people give too much weight to negative product reviews these days. Electronics are generally tested before sale and rarely fail right out of the box. Paying extra on an extended warranty is betting on your electronic to fail which is almost always a losing venture. It's also worth noting that most people never leave positive reviews on any items they buy, they only leave a review if something is wrong with it. This behavior highly skews product reviews in a negative way. My main complaint regarding this Frigidaire air conditioner is that there is no built in timer. But that would likely have raised the price closer to $300. My old air conditioner had a timer but was very heavy and much harder to install. There are timers online you can buy that should work with air conditioners. But as mentioned previously if you insulate your room properly you can probably get by running this AC unit for just an hour or two most nights. My only other complaint is a minor one. I leave my air conditioner plugged in and turn the unit on and off on a daily basis. I would much rather have push buttons on an air conditioner than a knob that you turn that could eventually break off. Final note: When I first got this Frigidaire air conditioner it did not produce super cold air immediately right out of the box. I believe it took a few hours. This is something to keep in mind. Just because an air conditioner doesn't get super cold instantly doesn't mean it's broken. ... show more

    • Awesome Little Air Conditioner
Size: 5,000 BTU Mechanical Controls
I installed this little Frigidaire in the kitchen window of my Travel Trailer when my roof AC unit stopped working. I chose the 5000 btu Frigidaire because it is so small and lightweight and because of it's simplicity in design. Also, because it's a Frigidaire and I trust that brand. It runs so quietly and efficiently compared to the roof unit that I was using and though the roof unit was a13,500 btu, this little 5000 btu Frigidaire does a much better job of cooling my little travel trailer than the bigger unit did. I couldn't be happier with it and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking to purchase a small air conditioner for their RV, horse trailer, or other small room. The cord is very well made with a built in tester to insure the cord is safe to operate. The fan is very strong on high setting and reaches all the way to the opposing wall at the front of my Travel Trailer. The easy to clean filter does a great job of catching the dust etc. So it helps keep the air cleaner. Also, it requires very little power to operate this unit so it is easy to power it with a portable generator if needed when shore power is not available. Best of all, Amazon has them at a Great Price! They have great generators too if you need one. ... show more

    • Great little unit after some tweaking
Size: 5,000 BTU Mechanical Controls
I had a central unit scare in the summer peak (luckily just a blown fuse that I was able to locate in the air handler), and pulled the trigger on two of these units, a 10K BTU and a 5K BTU. I was extremely pleased with the 10K unit. It can get a little loud when it calls for max cool because it blows some serious air. The 5K unit, I was not pleased so much. To make a long story short, it wouldn't adequately cool my bedroom even on max cool. It probably would have, but it would short cycle (turn on, then off rapidly). Often times the short cycle was so quick it would strain to restart the compressor and sometimes give up starting it and kick back to fan. I pulled the front cover and and found the thermostat sensor wire in contact with the evaporator coil. I carefully pulled the wire off the coil, and that cured all the issues. That wire behind the filer should be in front of, but not touching the coil. If it is in contact with the coil it will make the unit think the room is colder than it really is when the compressor is on calling for it to turn it off. The wire will then quickly reach room temperature causing it to turn the compressor back on, and repeat. It will never cool the room to the thermostat's actual setting. So out of the box I was really disappointed, but once this minor factory issue was resolved it turned out to be a pretty decent little unit. It no longer short cycles, and is able to adequately cool my bedroom without the need to set it to max cool. The gurgling noise it makes as the compressor kicks in is a little annoying, but at this price point I don't expect whisper quiet operation. The 10K unit I have doesn't make the gurgling sound that I can tell, but it moves so much more air it may just not be noticeable. Overall, the for price point I am satisfied with my purchase. ... show more
