Crosley CA8WRL Window Air Conditioner

We purchased this Crosley air conditioner for our family room. We needed an air conditioner to fit a very small window but able to cool off a big room. This 8000 BTU air conditioner is able to keep the 400 sq. ft room with high cathedral ceiling cool if I shut the doors to the room.

At times, it actually gets too cool and we have to turn it off! This surprised us since 8000 BTUs usually cools off up to 350 sq. ft. The filter is easy to get to. Just open the door on the front and take it out. I have not been able to get the front door off to clean it though.

Dust gets into the louvers and it makes it hard to clean. There are adjustable speeds and coolness settings to vary the degree in which you want it to cool things off. There is also a switch to open or close the vents. The three adjustable vents on the front allow for positioning the air flow into the room. I would give this Crosley air conditioner a 4 out of 5 star rating. It has served the purpose of cooling off our big room!


Pros
- Cools large enclosed room within a half hour.
- A lot of BTUs for the size with adjustable speeds and coolness.
