August is the cruelest month
We're afraid that perhaps Mr. Eliot got things wrong when he decried April as the cruelest of months — just one thing trumps modernist, post-war disillusionment with the cyclical nature of human failings, and that's the oppressive heat of August. Which means you're in need of a knight in shining armor . . . or at least durable white plastic. Enter the FRA102BT1 window air conditioner from Frigidaire. Pumping out an incredible 10,000 BTUs of cooling power, this single window-mounted air conditioner cools up to 500 sq ft of living space in no time flat. Choose between three cooling speeds ranging between 289 CFM and 231 CFM, and direct that luxuriously cool air right where it's needed with eight-way air-direction control.
A perfect counter for the one-two punch
As if the heat of summer didn't serve up enough lethargy and discomfort, humidity can add a whole new dimensions to your dog-day woes. But if you happen to live in a high-humidity area, you're in luck . . . You see, the folks at Frigidaire have equipped the FRA102BT1 air-conditioner to remove up to 2.7 pints of moisture per hour from the air at the same time that it cools. You're left blissfully unaware of whatever sweltering might be going on outside your living room.
Snug as a bug
We'll call it the Goldilocks principle: not too big, not too small . . . just right. Portable air conditioners and in-wall air conditioners do a fine job of cooling your living spaces, but they each offer a unique inconvenience. While portable units awkwardly occupy floor space in your room or hallway, in-wall units require you to cut a big hole in one of your home's exterior walls. But window-mounted air conditioners save you any hassle at all. While SpaceWise adjustable panels allow you to customize the FRA102BT1 to the size of your window opening, a complete window-mounting hardware kit equips you to get everything set up quickly.
Included with purchase
The following items are included with the purchase of the Frigidaire FRA102BT1 window air conditioner: Mounting-hardware kit: Seven 3/4" screws, 2 lock frames (wooden windows), 2 lock frames (vinyl-clad windows), 1 sash lock, 5 weather seals (6" x 0.75" x 1.5"), and window-sash seal foam.

I ordered the air conditioner from halfway across the country and it made it to my home in only a week. It works incredibly, and all my rooms feel ice cold on hot days. Great service and a great product.

The 10,000 Btu air conditioner works great. I also ordered a 8,000 Btu air conditioner and it works great as well, however, it has a huge dent in the top of the metal casing which was a little disappointing.

This is a great ac. I really bought it for the low price, but it cools quite well even in hot, muggy New York City. It also makes much less noise than the GE ac in my bedroom, which my *painstaking* research had described as the quietest in the market. The Frigidaire doesnt have a remote, but I never really use them anyway,
