Reviews of Frigidaire FRA14EHT2 14,000 BTU Through the Wall Air Conditioner

Customer Ratings:

I've owned this unit for less than 8 months, including the winter. It was installed in late fall and seemed to work well. Now that hot summer temperatures have arrived, it has stopped functioning properly. It comes on, runs, and cools quite well in the morning. However, in the afternoon when outside air temperatures often surpass 100°, it stops cooling. With the thermostat set as low as 60°, it will turn off the compressor even though room temperature is 75°, 80°, or even 85°. The filter and coils are clean, the air intake/output unobstructed, the fan set to Hi, the mode set to Cool, and there is no ice buildup, yet the air is not being cooled 80% of the time. I've contacted Frigidaire and will update this review after they reply. In winter, it worked well as a supplementary heater.

UPDATE: I finally received a response from Frigidaire. I had to tweet my problem to their attention because they never replied to my contact via their website. Here's what the representative said:

"On behalf of Frigidaire, I welcome the opportunity to assist you in resolving your concern.

"As both a representative and a consumer, I certainly appreciate and understand your frustration. While we expect that our products will meet and even exceed our consumer expectations, the experience that you encountered is unacceptable and not typical of the quality products that we produce day in and day out. Because we stand behind our products, services and valued consumers like you, we use interactions such as these as a way to enhance our quality and overall operations.

"At this time and based on what you have described it is best that an Authorized Service Professional diagnose the issue for you. Below I have provided a link that will assist you in locating local technical assistance.

This unit installed easily and works very well. Carton arrived a little damaged, but the unit seems to be fine. Although it is considered to be a secondary heat source, it heats my insulated barn (340 sq ft) just fine, on its own with temperatures dipping into the 20's currently.

Amazon does not stand behind their products for more than 30 days. So if you are planning to make a large appliance purchase do so from a brick and mortar store like Lowe's or Home Depot. At least then if there are problems down the road they will stand behind the product. They did not stand behind this unit when I had problems one year later.

My Frigidaire unit appeared fine upon delivery. I bought it for a room under construction, so the unit was not installed for six months. After the installation the a/c worked, but the unit did not provide any heat. This is an air conditioner with heat model, so I was surprised that the heat did not work. I hired an HVAC contractor to diagnose the problem, and I watched as he carefully removed the casing and opened the control board. There we found a damaged wire and a cracked casing. This damage was most likely caused in shipping and was completely undetectable upon delivery. It is the result of being dropped. You would have to take the machine apart to detect the damage.

I followed up with Frigidaire and with Amazon, the "store" that sold me the unit. Frigidaire offered to pay for the part but not the labor, and told me that every unit is tested before leaving their warehouse. They were clear that the problem occured with Amazon.

So I contacted Amazon, who said...."I'm sorry to hear your Air Conditioner didn't work out. Because more than 30 days have passed since you received this item, we can no longer accept a return. Our returns procedures states that within 30 days of delivery of your order, you may return most merchandise in new condition, with the original packaging and accessories, or any defective merchandise, for a full refund. Eligible baby items purchased from or fulfilled by Amazon can be returned up to 90 days after delivery.

I'd recommend consulting your owner's manual and/or contacting the manufacturer to see if the problem in question is covered by the manufacturer's warranty."

So beware of Amazon for appliances. Any future failure, even if related to their shipping or the unit being defective from the start, will not be corrected. They offered NOTHING to address this issue.

The product is installed and seems to work fine. I am pleased with its performance so far. BUT, while the online listing shows a weight of 97 lbs. (boxed, I assume) and the manufacturer's packaging shows a product weight of 88 lbs., the materials used have apparently changed. I was so shocked at how light the package was when it arrived that I challenged the vendor and ended up having witnesses present when I unpacked it (just in case). I have not thrown it on a scale but it seems to actually weigh about 50 lbs. As long as it works well, I don't care but be prepared for the surprise. The vendor reports that they have received additional comments on this issue from other customers.

I purchased 3 two drawer towel warmers in preparation for an upcoming promotion for my massage therapy business. The first time we plugged one in only one drawer worked. All 3 had seals that were loose. Soon, another warmer lost a drawer and all three warmers now have door seals that are hanging off. They are not put together well, and probably haven't been used more than 2 hours each and ara already falling apart.

Well it's hard to turn down with free shipping and a almost $100.00 mark down right?

This was exactly as described in the one star review here. I also purchased for a spa fair and didn't realize that one 1/2 this size would certainly accomodate at least 12 towels at a time. This "jumbo" version: top and bottom will probably only get used on top, except during the fairs. It also could easily accomodate 30+hand towels. I don't know where these manufacturers get their estimates on how many towels the warmers hold...?

In addition it's glued-on tag was hanging off exposing screws, one on/off switch is crooked and the box came torn up despite poor packaging warmer was undamaged. The seals are terrible (first demo w/2 towels it leaked) and if we used it more I'd send it right back. I almost find it offensive that we are (as consumers) stuck with bulky things like this because it's more trouble than worth the time to send them back...

Started to rust immediatly, rubber seals were coming off when I recieved it. My cheapness got in the way so I ignored all the bad reviews thinking that it really couldnt be THAT bad. IT IS!! Do NOT waste your money. I will be returning and buying a different warmer.

There is nothing good about this warmer. It rusted in less then 2 weeks, the seals don't fit, the heater scorched my towels, one bay doesn't heat up, there is a bad smell from them when turned on. Overall cheap and not worth a price of FREE.

Buy Infrared Portable Heater w/ Wood Trim (Black)

Customer Ratings:

Okay granted I've had it for a day but still :) So far it really blows out heat, however the fan is super quiet especially for the amount of heat and air it puts out. I bought it on a trailer sale at a Tractor Supply Co for 350 with a 5 year warranty that also covers lifetime bulb replacement. According to the salesman when asked how does Comfort furnace compare to Edenpure he says CF produced the Edenpures until they had a disagreement over the bulbs comfort furnace uses. CF updated their bulbs to have a cool looking steel disbursal wrapped around the bulb whereas Edenpure basically has a regular lookin infrared bulb. It heated my drafty 1974 11x32 ft trailer pretty well by itself. Inside temp was about 67 outside about 30ish. I had previously bought a Lasko Cyclone heater from WalMart cos people said itd heat that small of space pretty well. Nope.I'd recommend the comfort furnaces over the other brands because It does what it says does. My grams and great aunt have edenpures and like them well enough but i like having the uv light on mine for germ control. My uncle had bought an Iheater and apparently it jacks up your electric bill pretty well. No complaints on edenpures. Lady at walmart had a comfort furnace in her garage and says it worked great and her husband didn't notice a hike on electricity. My BF's mom has a Suncloud and they both like it and also no complaints on electricity.

I just read the first review. I purchased this furnace, but in the oak case. I also purchased it from Tractor Supply Company (TSC). We noticed that the outlet this was plugged into had burn marks on it. We then looked at the cord. The plug was singed and the cord was melting. I called customer service. They don't honor their warranty too well. All they would do was replace the cord, not the actually furnace, but I had to pay for shipping. They were not too concerned about the fire risk. Tractor Supply took the unit back, refunded our money and even gave us a new outlet. This is not their product, but they were more concerned about happened and provided excellent customer service. I can't say anything good about the manufacturer.

We bought this model in Sept. of 2011 and love it. We use it to heat the back of our house and/or to take the chill off the living room and kitchen in the fall and spring.

The most our electric bill has gone up for a month is $35.

Very glad we bought it.

This heater was working great and I liked it. Then>>>>>>>> smelled wire and rubber burning and found the plug melted into wall unit and sparks and flames were coming out. Good thing I had a fire extinguisher or my house would have burned down. Not a cheap one as we paid around 300.00 for it from Farm Supply place. Be careful everyone.

I got one of these last year because i wanted a strong heater in a small package, small footprint, to use in my bathroom, because the built in heater stopped working. It's perfect for heating a small room like that. Then i got another one for my bedroom, it's quiet, strong, and small, it fit into a small space near the bed. Then, i got a third one for the living room. The living room is a large room, and i use the heater like a small fire place, it really pumps out the heat. It's not going to heat the whole living room, but sitting next to it feels like sitting next to a small fire for warmth, very pleasant, not too hot when close to it, just a nice strong warmth. In the living room, the central heating doesn't do that well heating the lower part of the room on a cold night, the heat rises and it can be set on a high temperature and still be cold where we sit, so we use these heaters to warm up our space, nice source of heat, very portable, lightweight, sturdy. No complaints, it's perfect for what i use it for.

This is a handy little heater that serves its intended purpose well heating a small room. I use it to take the chill off my computer room which is not usually heated like the rest of the house since I'm not in there all that often. The unit itself is plastic with a metal grille, but it feels very sturdy and well made. The fan noise level is acceptable. It is far from silent, but is quiet enough that it doesn't interfere. The controls are straight-forward. One dial is the power dial which has 4 settings: Off Fan Low High. The other dial is the thermostat with an infinite range of settings between and +. (I've found that just below the halfway point is very comfortable, but then again, the winters in California aren't exactly subarctic)

I'd recommend this for anyone with a small area to heat. a bedroom, computer room, sewing room, etc. (mine's in a room about 12 foot square). I doubt it would efficiently heat a room that was too much larger.

Follow up review Nov 2011: I just plugged this item in for what will be the 5th winter season. It works as great at it did when I bought it. Still a great item and highly recommended.

Here's my review of the Lasko 754200.

Update: 09 Feb 2009. I have learned to sleep with the fan noise of this space heater. However, I'm a very heavy sleeper.

Update: 26 Feb 2009. I am keeping this Lasko heater in the living room. I have bought another heater for my 8' x 10' guest bedroom, the Optimus H-5210 Infrared Quartz Radiant Heater available here on Amazon. The Optimus is virtually silent, and takes a bit longer to heat a room that has a ceiling fan (from 60 degrees, it takes a couple hours to truly heat the room up to 70 degrees), and that's fine with me.

Update: 08 March 2009. I am very happy with my Optimus in the guest bedroom!

Have had this heater for nearly four years and it has sustained 3 moves with me. Still works great and heats bedroom effectively.

Lasko warms nicely but thermostat is such that heater stays on a long time (5 minutes or more) but doesn't come back on for a long time, maybe 30-60 minutes. It's the opposite of another heater I have which comes on frequently for a short time each cycle. So with the Lasko you get almost too warm by the time the thermostat shuts it off, but temperature in room has to drop quite a bit for the thermostat to turn it back on. I find myself manually turning it on and off via thermostat.

Cheap Intercity Furnace Flue Exhaust Venter Blower - 1014433, 1014529

Customer Ratings:

I bought this motor as a replacement for my old one that had started whining whenever it ran. After some internet research I found that this is due to some interior ball bearings going bad (unfortunately you can't repair these). The new one came in just three days and I got it installed in less than 10 minutes. Connect the two wires, a vacuum tube, attach the provided washer, and then just use the four screws that come with it and you are all set.

I actually bought this replacement in the spring but didn't get it installed until a couple of days ago. Old induction motor was squealing and wouldn't make it much longer. I ordered this one considerably cheaper than anywhere else I looked. The squealer managed to make it until it was warm enough that I didn't need the furnace. I installed the new one the other day, less than an hour. I figure if I would have had to call someone to do it, it would have been around a $400.00 to $500.00 dollar bill. If you can use a screwdriver, you can change this yourself fairly easily and save big money. Sounds like new again.

This was a great price and easy to order exactly what I needed without knowing exactly what I was doing. Arrived very well packaged and on time. Would definitely order again if ever needed. Has been on for over a year and no problems. Hardly even notice it's running because it barely makes a sound.

just like other reviews said, this was easy to install. The guy who installed my furnace said that he couldn't sell me one as cheap as this. Just be careful not to let the screws get away from you. One did on me, luckily I had a magnet on an articulating handle so I could fish around under the burner and retrieve it. Nice to not have that nigh pitched whine anymore, it was a form of torture!

Discount 208/277V 40A DPST Indoor 24-Hour Mechanical Time Switch

Customer Ratings:

Have tried two other mfrs and they had electronic timers and very short lives. So went to Woods to get a REAL water heater timer with an old fashioned mechanical timer. It does not have all the bells and whistles as the electronic timers but what I needed was a "reliable and rugged comercial" timer as I don't want to replace timer every 6-12 months and I believe that is what I got.

I also tried purchasing a used electronic timer controlled switch and it was totally destroyed but seller did not realize it , got a full refund but just forced me to buy the new timer.
