I bought this to replace on old Haier A/C 8,000 btu unit that started making weird noises when the hottest weather hits. This unit is much quieter and the remote controls are excellent. I bought this particular brand and model because I have another Frigidaire unit that I am very pleased with after a year of use. The unit was packed great and included all necessary information on installation and operation. Also, the unit is not too heavy to handle which I like since I'm not gettin any younger. Very please with the unit, so far. The unit fits in nicely with our decor. It has a clean, modern look to it that I like. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will have some decent longevity.
