I purchased the Friedrich CP10E10 about 2 weeks ago when my old one died. A friend of mine had an older Friedrich model that worked really well and was so quiet that I knew my next air conditioner was definitely going to be a Friedrich. It just may have been a big mistake. You be the judge... Pros *Super cooler, can cool down my whole (small) 2 br apt *Money Saver option- shuts down when selected temperature has been attained *Comes with installation brackets for your windowsill that make the ac secure to the window *Excellent service- I had to call the service center for a noise and they were able to come out right away to repair it. *Energy efficient 10.8 EER Cons *Loud compressor(main cooling engine)- it sounds like an engine revving up and actually disturbs my sleep *Installation is very extremely difficult. believe it. You must slide out the main unit from the chassis (metal sleeve) to remove a styrofoam shipping block. Then install the sleeve in the window and then slide in the main unit. *A problem with a strange noise had me calling the service center. Why does a new unit require a visit? Apparently the fan is made cheaply and was causing a slight rustling noise. It could happen again is what they told me. * When I called the service center they said they had been getting many calls about the noise level of this series (CP) of Friedrich air conditioners. Servicers suggested I buy the more expensive Quietmaster unit. It's $800 or so. Ain't gonna happen. A window ac should not cost that much. Esp since I am a renter. I think that's enough for now. I will add more on durability as time goes. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Styrofoam Hits Rooms Circulation Fan By Dogbarczar I first bought an Amana ACD125R (made by Haier) but took it back to Fry's because a girgling sound of the freon moving through the evaporator, very annoying sound. Fry's return policy is horrible (15% charge and gift certificate for remainder), so don't by an AC unit from them. I then bought the Friedrich CP10F10. When I started the unit, the room air circulation fan was hitting the sytrofoam. The appliance company I bought it from sent a technician out and fixed the problem. Tech said problem is common as they support the fan motor in one spot rather than two on the larger units. Unit works great, it is much quieter than the Amana. Not as much cooling as the Amana unit, but it is 10K not 12K Btu. Has a nice full size remote for controlling the unit. Has 3 fan speeds and oscillates the air from side to side. Sorry China, but you will never match good ole American quality, too bad we don't make anything here any more. 3 of 6 people found the following review helpful. very happy By mra i purchased this air conditioner and i am very happy with it.
