Given my past experiences with Frigidaire and Amazon (I had received two broken dehumidifiers, the second one being a replacement for the first one), I was a little skeptical of this. However I needed this because I must have a completely climate controlled room at a constant temperature and humidity level. Needless to say, I do not use this for the de-humidifier function. I run two separate humidifiers to keep the room between 50~65% relative humidity. However we can set this to the "auto" function and put it on 26-degrees Celsius and forget about it. I also have it on a timer, so we're not running it overnight and wasting electricity. When the timer shuts off, the settings are stored in the unit so when the timer turns back on, it will start off where it left off. Excellent all-around product.

I bought the FRA09EPT1 during the winter. I decided to buy the FRA09EPT1 for the following reasons: 1) Had heat and cool (did not want a separate heater for the winter); 2) could be installed in a room that did not have a standard-sized window; 3) did not need to make accommodations for a drip-line.

The unit was delivered in good packaging; and performed well in the winter. I installed the unit in a 12'x12' (~144sqft) shed-turned-office. Although the blowers that engage during heating are not that disruptive, it is not possible to talk on the phone in the office with the cooling compressor and hot-air exhaust blower running-that is, in cooling mode. The manufacturer lists the AC high-cooling noise at 55dB.

One thing to note about this style of air conditioner: since hot air is used to re-evaporate the condensate and exhaust it outside, there is a constant flow of air from outside in to the room. The unit exhausts a lot of air outside, pulling a vacuum on the room; this can make it difficult to open the door to the room in which this unit is installed. In Dallas, we frequently have 60%-80% humidity at 95-105 degF. This means that a lot of hot, humid air is coming back into replace the exhausted air. Although the unit was able to cool my office effectively, the humidity continues to remain very high. For these reasons, I am looking to replace this unit with a window unit (a ductless AC unit would also work well, but requires professional installation) which will not need to exhaust air outside the cooling envelope. It is bad enough that I am now willing to take on the small re-framing job to create a space in the wall for a window unit.

Honest reviews on Frigidaire FRA09EPT1 4100 BTUHeat/9000 BTU Cool Portable Air

I love this product. With Winter approaching the heater feature has actually kept my bedroom warm and I'm not freezing "to death" as I had been previous years. The AC portion is slightly disappointing as I didn't realize I would have have the hose directed outside so to use it I have to use my patio door because of the location and size of my window (my bedroom window is beyond huge). But it is a great product and works as it should. I'm happy I purchased this.

This portable air conditioner is better than I expected. It was easy to setup, easy to move around and easy to use. I would have rated this a five star if it was quieter. Although, it is quieter than my first purchase of another brand.
