unit as a 10000 btu rating, but while trying to cool an 84 f room to 74 , unit has cooled until 78 and has been stuck there for about 30 minutes.
from www.newegg.com
the room use to be at 78 to 80 degrees even though our home is fully air conditioned to 71 in other rooms.
from www.newegg.com
however my p3 kill a watt electricity load meter say it uses ~1000w/8.3a for cooling with the compressor on after running for 30 mins.
from www.amazon.com
i think the 10,000 btu rating is a little generous.
from www.newegg.com
comments: this 10,000 btu ac/heater packs a pretty big punch.

Frigidaire FAA055P7A Thru-Wall/Window

$171.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
we got this for a very small bedroom (89 sq ft), and chose it because of the high eer and low current draw.
from www.amazon.com
this unit doesn't have an inside/outside switch, and the "8way" louvres are useless - they might as well have left them out altogether, as they don't help to direct air.
from www.amazon.com
i don't know anyone who sleeps a full 8 hours, so the sleep mode can be deactivated with the press of the button.
from www.amazon.com
my husband did his homework when he researched window a/c units and consumer reports rated this and the 8000btu unit very high compared to other ones.
from www.amazon.com
before buying this unit i looked at many web sites trying to find the quietest small (about 6,000 btu) window air conditioner.

the unit is way quieter than the 7,000 btu ge unit it replaced.

from www.amazon.com
the temperature in the room was probably around 80 before i turned it on and it felt like a comfortable 70 when i returned.
from www.amazon.com
my thermostat showed about 82f just before using the unit and after turning it on it climbed to about 83f for a few minutes before steadily dropping a couple of degrees ever 5-10 mins.

i put it in my study/guest room which is about 225 or so squarefeet on a a hot summer evening, i would say 87f.

so i paid 80 bucks for an electricition to update that one breaker.
from www.amazon.com
it dropped my ambient temperature from 87f to 77f in about 2 hours using the "mega cool" setting which i thought was fairly impressive.
from LEX, www.newegg.com
when the ac is running with the fan on medium the temp will stay at <80 deg.
from jt, www.newegg.com
make sure you have a 20amp fuse to handle the 15amp unit and the wattage (11,500 btu / 8.5 energy rating = approx 1350watts) and that this outlet is near the window you want to use.
from johnnytuinals, www.newegg.com
pros: seems like a good looking unit cons: does not throw off as much cool air as my 10,000 btu at low speed other thoughts: i thought maybe to replace my window 10,000 btu with this.

my home is a typical home built in the 80's, so i was a bit suprised when the bracket would not fit my frame.

one is sufficient for temps in the upper 80's to lower 90's - two are required if the temp is above 95 outside since all that sun shines right into the window and the insulation of the house is poor.
