Show Price

We simply purchased this Frigidaire FRA126CT1 12-000 Btu Window Air Conditioner W / Temp Remote, using the discount and the free of cost shipping after reading some of the prior reviews prior to purchasing the product. Up until now so great. I am totally in love with this product from Frigidaire, Made it the finest price on the web when we purchased it first of this month.

Price drop = buy it over the 10K
Update 5/29/13: Member "Coug Moog" in comments to my original review turned me on to the fact that price has drop drastically at some sources on this model all the way down to $298. At that price there's no reason not to grab this more powerful unit over it's 10,000 BTU bretheren. Now that this unit doesn't cost an arm and leg over the 10K, I'll probably never buy another 10K again. I'm also upgrading my review to 4 stars as well. The 12K units I operate have served well. Since they now cost virtually the same as a 10K that's a darn good value.

Original Review Text Titled "Not the one to buy unless you have a little window" and given 2 stars:

The 12,000 BTU unit is a bad choice for most people. The smaller 10,000 BTU unit is 33% less in cost and typically much more reliable. The bigger 15,000 BTU unit is not that much more than the 12,000 unit.

So why would you pay...
