This replaced a 10K BTU Frigidaire Window Air Conditioner that did not last through two Cooling seasons. I'm hoping this Appliance will exceed my expectations and will allow me to fully appreciate the on-board features. So Far, So Good. The WIFI allows me the opportunity to save money on utilities thru scheduling hours of use via smartphone app. It also requires less energy in the start-up phase, ideal to operate in my older apartment setting. I believe its actually quieter then previously owned units. I live in an urban environment, so I really appreciate having an enhanced filter system.
