Goldstar WG1005R 10000 BTU Air Conditioner

The Goldstar Air Conditioner is a great choice for those who wish to cool a small area. The thermostat control makes it energy efficient. The unit turns itself off when it has met the set temperature in the room. The user can set it to the temperature they find most comfortable without the usual fluctuations of temperature. The room does not get too cold or too warm. This is great for sleeping or for keeping a room from getting too hot while one is away.

Another pro for the unit is that it is remote controlled. There is no need to get up from your comfortable position to change the temperature or turn the unit off. The remote contains buttons that allows you to change the mode, temperature, and power of the unit. This is particularly handy if the unit is installed in a bedroom.

The unit has two major cons. The first is that it freezes up frequently. On very warm days when it is important for it to work well, it freezes and spits ice out of the vent. It is necessary in these instances to turn the unit off and wait for it to thaw out. On hot August days this is an inconvenience that outweighs the pros mentioned earlier.

The unit does not include an oscillating fan. The exclusion of an oscillating fan makes it difficult to cool a room evenly. Without the oscillating fan, the unit has difficulty cooling larger living areas.
