I purchased the CP12F10 because a) it uses R410-A refrigerant as opposed to ozone-damaging R22 (Freon) used in the CP12E10, and b) Friedrich's good reputation. But I am disappointed. Friedrich describes the AC noise "as quiet as a gentle rain." More like a hailstorm. The fan blades hit the styrofoam shroud, creating a jackhammer sound. Even without the fan knocking, the motor is very loud. The four drill holes on the cabinet's right side where the frame curtain attaches are not in a straight line, so the frame curtain bends a little. One of the screws that fasten the evaporator is dangling because it is misaligned with the shroud. How does a company let an AC ship with an unattached screw dangling like that? Overall, very poor construction. Something that I would expect from Haier, not Friedrich. Both brands are made in China anyway, so maybe I shouldn't expect a big difference. The AC does blow lots of cool air, like a good 12,000 BTU unit should. But the jackhammer noise makes the CP12F10 unusable. On a positive note, I bought the unit from J&R Music World thru Amazon and the shipping was very quick. And for an 86 lb. item, the shipping was still only $2.95! (Current J&R promotion) Unfortunately, now I have to return the AC unit, which will cost me $55 to ship UPS. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Low quality By Timur Milgrom Just as one other reviewer described. The unit I got had a problem of the fan hitting the insides of the case. Ended up spending a little more money and exchanging for an X series which is supposedly made in US unlike the CP which is made in China. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This machine is a killer !!! By Slawek Walczak This is a great product. I've bought it in summer 2010 and I'm very happy with it! Pros: - Easy Window Installation [first you install slide-out chassis, then the rest - piece of cake... about 20min.] - Cools the Whole Room, - Accurate Temperature Controls, - Quiet [really quiet!] yet powerful! - Energy Efficient, - Even Air Distribution Cons: none Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend See all 4 customer reviews...
