There’s been a lot of talk lately about the
Frigidaire FRA12EPT1 Portable Heat and Air Conditioner. This unit is popular due its dual abilities, so I decided to compile all of the information I could find about the product and create a more comprehensive report of what people are saying about it.
Several consumers were very excited by both the heating and cooling power of this unit. Forget storing and maintaining a separate machine. This is also quite useful in climates where the nights are cool and the days are hot. One unit is all you need to keep a large room comfortable 24 hours a day. One user stated that the machine was capable of both heating and cooling a 12 X 16 sun porch easily.
The unit is also said to be very quiet. This helps whether you plan to use it in a bedroom, office, or study where noise would be a distraction. The low noise level also makes it perfect for use in a baby’s nursery. The unit won’t drown out small noises made by the baby, and it won’t interfere with the baby monitor.
Another feature that is nearly all reviewers praised was the ease of set up. The drainage tube and air outlet hose was easy to set up and simple to install. One customer said she hired an electrician to install the unit and was later embarrassed that she’d done so. It was so easy that she could have done it herself.
The only feature of the unit that you may not like is that the fan runs consistently. While the compressor does switch off, the machine continues to circulate the air. However, other users stated that they like this feature because the white noise of the fan is soothing. The continuous low hum also won’t startle a baby with constantly switching on and off.
In short, the Frigidaire Portable Heat/Air Conditioning unit is a great machine for the price and perfect for the nursery, too. It also serves as a soothing, very quiet white noise machine and is a cinch to set up and install. If you’re in need of heating or cooling in any room of the house, this unit fits the bill.
