A Must-Have for Hot Texas Summers

The Frigidaire GHPC142AA1 has truly exceeded my expectations and has quickly become an essential part of our home during the hot Texas months. Our home was built in 1982, and the living room heats up fast when we use the oven and stove. This unit has no problem keeping the space cool, even when our central AC struggles. It cools the room quickly and maintains a consistently comfortable temperature throughout the day.One of the standout features for me is how quiet it is. The Extra Quiet Performance at just 42dBA makes it perfect for living spaces where you don™™t want to be disturbed by loud fan noise. I also appreciate the Auto Fan feature, which adjusts automatically based on the room™™s temperature, and the Sleep Mode, which keeps things comfortable at night without blasting cold air.The portability is another big win™"thanks to the sturdy wheels, I can easily move it from room to room. We™™ve also tested its Auto Restart feature after a brief power outage, and it resumed operation seamlessly. I also love knowing this can run on a generator if needed, adding extra peace of mind during Texas storm season.The Wi-Fi connection with the Frigidaire® app makes it easy to adjust settings from anywhere in the house. I can turn the unit on before I get home or fine-tune the temperature without leaving the couch. The Auto Swing Louver ensures even distribution of cool air, and the washable dust filter is easy to remove and clean, helping keep the air fresh.I haven™™t tried Dry Mode or the Energy Saver feature just yet, but I look forward to testing them during our most humid days. Just a note™"the hot air exhaust can affect nearby plants, so I recommend placing it away from delicate items.All in all, this is a powerful, energy-efficient, and smart cooling solution that complements our central AC perfectly. Highly recommend it for anyone needing a reliable and quiet portable AC!

From the moment this air conditioner arrived the process of unpacking and installing it was seamless. I was able to unpack this by myself with a broken leg, and put it all together in about 25 minutes. The unit comes with everything you need, with the exception of the allergen filter, which is stated is available in their online shop via the app. I've looked and looked and cannot find it. It's essential for me to have that filter and it was part of why I purchased this unit. It loses a star based on that. The app is super easy to install and navigate, starting and keeping my ac schedule set is a breeze. You have a ton of information on outside allergens via the app, and the outdoor location is only 7 miles from my rural home. The ac is very quiet when it runs, which is a huge win in an already loud household. It cools the entire downstairs of our home in minutes. The energy star rating is fantastic as well.Blue ink transfer stain as seen in unboxing photo.

Easy Setup and Instant Relief

I purchased this unit in preparation for hurricane season and power outages that I am all too familiar with living in Texas and Louisiana. Central A/C uses too much power for the backup home battery I have, so I researched portable A/C units and landed on this one. Set-up couldn't be easier - I had it out of the box and set-up, hooked up, and plugged in within 30 minutes. It is very easy to roll around on my hard floors, but will require two people to get upstairs/lift if needed. The instructions were easy to understand, and it worked like a charm on the first try. I was very impressed with how quickly it was blowing ice cold air and the fan speed. I also could not believe how quiet it is!! I especially appreciated that feature, and the air quality sensor. I have no doubt this will be a lifesaver and am SO glad I purchased it! I am now contemplating purchasing a second unit to keep upstairs and use at night for extra cooling while I sleep, without running my whole home A/C to death in our 100+ degree weather.

The Frigidaire ™ GHPC142AA1 Air Conditioner itself, is working great. My misgivings are with the Frigidaire customer service team. The unboxing and setup of the a/c unit was quite easy, the only real assembly was with the window mount kit, which I just used a picture to see how the parts fit together instead of using the "instruction paper". As for the window mount kit, while it is quite long, it still was not long enough to fit in my windowsill. To get another kit so that I could combine them both and make longer, would cost over $60 for it. So, instead I cannibalized the mount kit and just made my own, which worked better for me anyways. This way I could also attach the exhaust hose for my 3D printer to the mount kit as well. The unit itself is easy to control, it's quite straight forward in how to use it. The only real problem came about when I tried to use the Frigidaire app to remotely control it. After installing it, my a/c model wasn't listed in the app. I tried the other models listed just to see if they would control it and they wouldn't sync. So, I emailed Frigidaire CS to let them know the model number was missing from the app and how to get it to work. Well, after 4 days and not hearing anything back, I decided to try the app again. This time, low and behold, the model number was now listed. So after selecting the model, everything after that went smoothly and I was able to connect the unit to the app and control it remotely. The only real thing I didn't like about the app was the you can't switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit, which you can do on the unit itself. As for the customer service team, as of the writing of this review, it has been over a week since I contacted them about the missing model number and as of right now, they still have not replied to my ticket to let me know they fixed the issue. While they DID fix the issue, their lack of giving an update is troubling to me. So far, the unit has been in my 3D Printer/Server room and it has been doing a great job of controlling the temp. Prior to this unit, if the door was closed and you opened the door, you would literally get hit by a wave of heat. Central A/C is just not made for cooling down a "server room". Now, that room actually stays colder than the rest of the house. For me, this was a much needed purchase and is doing exactly what I need it to do. I just pray I never need to talk to the CS. The only reason I gave the unit a 4 star instead of 5 was because of the CS team.

Great, Smart, Efficient

We™™ve had a great experience with this standing air conditioner! Before this, we used a traditional window unit, which always felt like a compromise. It cooled the room but it also blocked out half of our window, which meant no fresh air, very little natural light, and kind of a gloomy feel overall.This standing unit totally solved that problem. It sits neatly on the floor, and with the window kit it comes with, we were able to set it up quickly without permanently altering our window or frame. Now we get to enjoy the daylight and a refreshingly cool room which is a huge win.The cooling power is surprisingly fast. Within just a few minutes of turning it on, the temperature noticeably drops, even on really warm days. It™™s efficient, doesn™™t take up a ton of space, and it's on wheels so we can easily move it if needed. The WiFi access is an added bonus in being able to turn it on or off from anywhere from the app and change settings.If you™™ve never used a portable/standing AC unit before, I™™d definitely recommend this as a first one to try. It gives you flexibility without sacrificing comfort, and the setup isn™™t intimidating. Plus, no more wrestling a heavy window unit into place every summer!Highly recommend for anyone looking to cool a room while still letting in natural light and keeping their windows more open and usable.
