Mini Reviews of Kenmore Home Window Air Conditioners
The Kenmore 75050 (5,000 BTU est. $100) is “very inexpensive,” however, CS says the “catch” is the model is not Energy Star Rated and comes with few features. The 75050 “Best” feature is the "price" and its good ability to "cool small rooms." CS states the Sears owner reviews web page is the best place for "owner-written" comments on the Kenmore 75050 air conditioner. A link is provided on the CS air conditioner review page to the Sears Kenmore 75050 owner reviews.
The Kenmore 75062 (6,000 BTU est. $250) has a low profile for letting in more light and for ease of installation. The unit is Energy Star Rated and has “all the usual features” such as remote control, timer, and auto-restart in the event of a power outage.
The Kenmore 76081 (7,800 BTU est. $200) can cool a room up to “400 square feet.” The unit is praised for its features and cost. The unit is Energy Star Rated, and the CS review provides additional information about its many features which includes a 12 hour delay timer.
The Kenmore 75101 (10,000 BTU est. $270) is “features-wide” and is best for cooling a 450 to 500 sq. ft. room. The unit is Energy Star Rated and has a slide-out chassis for installation security. The energy saver mode turns the compressor off when the selected temperature is reached.
Best Rated Kenmore Window Air Conditioner Model
The Kenmore 75121 (12,000 BTU est. $300) can “cool a small one-story home.” The model is recommended for a 550 to 650 sq. ft. room. The unit is Energy Star Rated and the CS review states the model has professional recommendations, and “is a favorite among owners” on the Sears Kenmore owner reviews web page. The model has a full line of features and a slide-out chassis.
Best Frigidaire Window Air Conditioner
The only “runner-up” air conditioner selected by CS was the Frigidaire FRA054XT7 (5,000 BTU est. $160). CS provides, on its air conditioner review web page, a link to the Frigidaire review. The major “pro” is the model uses environment friendly R-410a refrigerant in lieu of R22. The model is Energy Star Rated. The “cons” reported are that the model is “unproven in user reviews...average noise... no remote controls.”
The Denver air conditioner installation service provides will provide more information about each "Best" Kenmore window model, and you can get more details of each model from them.
