Customer Reviews
- The initial installation of the Frigidaire FRA082AT7 requires the top bar to be screwed in sufficiently to the wall, so this needs a good screw driver to ensure a good fit between the wall and the main unit of the Frigidaire FRA082AT7. Other than this, installation of the conditioner is easy and stress free.
- Although some people saw light when they looked through the louvers of the Frigidaire FRA082AT7, this is actually quite alright and is part of the design of the unit to enhance its ability to cool air in quick time.Even if there is Styrofoam visible in the lining of the Frigidaire FRA082AT7 this is an enhancement to the unit making it operate more economically overall, and to make the price more competitive. However some people don't feel comfortable leaving the Styrofoam exposed to the cold air and they wonder about the airtight nature of the Styrofoam.
- Aside from this, the FRA082AT7 does produce a cool room. The fan speeds are set at three different levels which all operate quite fast. It depends on one's preferences since the Frigidaire FRA082AT7 can seem to operate on a fairly loud motor even when turned onto ‘low' but to some people this can be quite comforting, to have some background noise whilst they sleep.
- Some people would like it if the Frigidaire FRA082AT7 had a remote control though, as well as a digital temperature gauge which unfortunately the Frigidaire FRA082AT7 lacks. But that does not seem to detract from the effectiveness of the Frigidaire FRA082AT7 and over time, the development of the Frigidaire FRA082AT7 may include such a feature.
