Frigidaire 10,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner - FRA106CV1

The Frigidaire FRA106CV1 uses 10,000 BTUs of power to quickly cool areas up to 500 square feet. This powerful AC is Energy Star-rated and offers a 10.8 Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) thanks to its efficient operation. In addition, it features 4 modes (including Energy Saver and Sleep modes), a programmable timer, and a washable air filter to keep unwanted particles from entering your air. Quickly adjust your settings with its digital controls or remote control, which also has a temperature sensing feature. This model was also recently named as a Best Buy by a leading consumer reporting agency. 

Convenient Cooling

Cooling large spaces up to 500 square feet has never been easier with the Frigidaire 10000 BTU Window Air Conditioner. Simply set your ideal temperature, and this model works to maintain it. Using an Auto Cool function, it adjusts its 3 cooling and 3 fan speeds to reach your set temperature as quickly as possible. You can also select your own speeds and other settings to get your room feeling perfect to you.

In addition, you can set a new room temperature, change modes, or adjust other settings using the digital remote control. Its remote sensor feature senses the air temperature at the remote's location and then signals the information back to the unit. Your AC then adjusts its settings to make sure the temperature around your remote matches the set temperature. This avoids hot or cold spots in the room and ensures the area right around you is the correct temperature—so keep the remote close by!

Energy-Efficient Modes

Since the Frigidaire FRA106CV1 Window Air Conditioner is Energy Star-rated, you know it uses at least 10% less energy than comparable window AC units. These features also help save you on energy costs; the Frigidaire FRA106CV1 costs only an estimated $74 a year to run. Two of its most energy efficient features are additional modes. Its 4 operating modes include:

• Cool: Up to 10,000 BTUs blast cool air throughout your space. Simply select your desired temperature, and this Frigidaire window AC maintains it. 
   
• Fan-Only: Use this function when you just want to circulate room air. Choose your fan speed or select Auto Fan, which selects its own speed based on current room temperature.
   
• Energy Saver: Energy Saver mode reduces energy usage and saves you money by turning the compressor off once your set room temperature is met. The fan will run for 1 minute after the compressor shuts off, and the compressor remains off until your room temperature rises above the set temperature. Once this occurs, the compressor turns back on and starts cooling.
   
• Sleep Mode: This mode is quiet and often used by "light sleepers." Thirty minutes after Sleep mode is selected, room temperature increases by 2 degrees F. Another increase of 2 degrees occurs 30 minutes later and that temperature is maintained for 7 hours, before the AC returns to the originally selected temperature.

Additional Features

• Adjustable Design: The side panels on this model adjust to fit different window widths (23-36 inches wide).  
• Programmable Timer: Delay the start or stop time for your window AC by setting it to turn on or off up to 24 hours in advance.
• Directional Air Flow: Manually move your AC's louvers up and down or left to right and direct cool air to a specific location in your room.  
• Automatic restart: In the case of a power outage, the Frigidaire FRA106CV1 10,000 Window AC unit turns back on with the previous settings once power is restored.
• Remote Control: A full-function remote control shows the current temperature, and lets you select a mode, change fan speed, or set a new room temperature.
• Washable Antibacterial Filter: An air filter traps particles from entering your home and should be checked once a month to see if cleaning is necessary (with warm water).
• Check Filter Indicator: A light turns on to let you know to check your air filter for blockages.

Summary

The Frigidaire 10000 BTU Window Air Conditioner is an affordable window AC that boasts various convenience and eco-friendly features.
