Frigidaire Cool Connect Smart Portable Air Conditioner Review
Most portable air conditioners are either too bulky that they eat up plenty of floor space or they are just not powerful enough to cool a moderately-sized room. If you’ve got a larger room but would not dare create a hole in your wall (Wall AC Unit guide) for a standard window-type air conditioner, then you will have a much better chance of cooling a 550-square foot room with the Frigidaire Cool Connect Smart Portable Air Conditioner.
The Frigidaire Cool Connect Smart Portable AC is a compact and elegant-looking portable climate control solution designed specifically for moderately-sized rooms of up to 550 square feet, thanks to its BTU rating of 12,000. It also removes excess moisture in the air at a rate of 3 pints per hour to make sure you will not have clogged nose and any of the other stuff that most people associate with unusually high humidity. At any rate, depending on your comfort needs, the Frigidaire Cool Connect can truly deliver on its promise of optimum comfort.
At the heart of the Frigidaire, however, is the integration of a wireless control module that works seamlessly over WiFi, giving you unparalleled access to many of the Cool Connect’s intuitive and smart technology features. By downloading the Frigidaire app which is currently available for both Apple and Android platforms – smartphones and tablets – you can easily control and even program the various settings and modes of the Cool Connect even though you are halfway across the globe. This feature is what clearly separates the Frigidaire Cool Connect Smart Portable Air Conditioner from other portable ACs. The app allows you to turn on and off your AC, adjust the temperature settings, fine tune the speed of the fan, and control the various modes on the Frigidaire. While its smart technology is commendable, it is only available in the contiguous United States and nowhere else.
The Frigidaire Cool Connect Smart doesn’t take up too much space, too as it only requires a square foot of floor space, thanks to its cylindrical upright design. It is quite heavy at 85 pounds which should add to its stability on the floor. It stands some 36.8 inches and is designed to easily blend with the rest of your home décor. The LED lighting provides additional elegance especially during the night while its ultra-modern mesh grill is sure to channel cold air all across the room, thanks to its 360-degree airflow.
This Cool Connect Smart comes with an energy saver mode as well as sleep mode to give you added flexibility in your cooling comfort needs. Its auto-cool function can help you feel more comfy a lot faster than other portable ACs.
