I got this product about 7 days ago and am extremely pleased with the product. I had an Frigidaire FRA186MT2 18,500 BTU Window-Mounted Median Air Conditioner with Temperature Sensing Remote (230 volts) and I would never ever purchase once again. So far so great. Can't be even worse than the Frigidaire FRA186MT2 18,500 BTU Window-Mounted Median Air Conditioner with Temperature Sensing Remote (230 volts) Also if you registered it on line you got an added 2 months warranty.

Frigidaire's FRA186MT2 Energy Star 18,500 BTU 230-Volt Window-Mounted Median Air Conditioner is perfect for rooms up to 1,170 square feet. It quickly cools the room on hot days and quiet operation keeps you cool without keeping you awake. Low voltage start-up and operation conserves energy and saves you money. Ready-Select electronic controls allow you to set the comfort level to your preference, while the convenient temperature readout displays the set temperature. The multi-speed fan features three different fan speeds for more cooling flexibility and the multi-directional comfort control design allows you to easily control the direction of the cool air, wherever the unit is mounted. Plus, the clean air ionizer removes pollen and impurities from the air providing relief for allergy sufferers.

This Energy Star unit has an Energy Efficiency Ratio of 10.7 and is sure to provide you with savings, along with convenient, cool comfort. In Energy-saver mode the fan continues to run for 1 minute after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 20 seconds at 10 minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the compressor turns back on. The low power operation and Energy Saver mode help to conserve energy and save you money. This unit requires a 230V electrical outlet and will not work with a standard 115V outlet.
