Rated 5 out of 5 by from Friedrich Kuhl 20,000 btu AC in wall unit Bought this wall AC unit as a replacement for an old Friedrich 18,000 btu air conditioner. Had PC Richard install new one with the new slide out cage and remove the old set up. Pretty much the same size unit so no extra work (cutting,molding) was needed. Crew was on time, did a great job insulating and caulking. It is a quiet AC unit. Very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My Second Friedrich AC This is my second purchase of a Friedrich Kuhl Series 20,000 BTU 220V AC. I have not had a chance to use it yet since I bought it in April. But the one I already have for 2 years is relatively quiet, cools well and can be operated with a remote control.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Friedrich Kuhl 20,000 BTU Wall Air Conditioner I bought the Friedrich Kuhl 20,000 BTU wall unit to replace an old GE unit we've had for 30+ years. It's a great upgrade to the house; I love how quiet it is and how quickly it cools my entire first floor. Well worth the investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Replacing my 30+ year old Sears air conditioner This Friedrich Kuhl 20,000 BTU unit replaced a Sears model that was purchased back in1988. The new air conditioner is so much more quiet than the older unit. The thermostat also works like a charm. It was definitely a great purchase. PC Richard even sent out a crew ahead in order to make certain the new unit would fit properly through the wall. Thank you, PC Richard

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent cooling and quiet operation Very quiet operation. The unit goes about its business quietly and efficiently, turning off and on at the desired temperature. AT 20,000 BTU's, the air conditioner really cools down the first floor of the house quickly. This is our second Kuhl from Friedrich, the first of which we purchased back in 2015.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A good change This replaced a product we purchased a month ago. We had to change it out because it was so loud we couldn't have a conversation when it was on.
Date published: 2019-08-25
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent through wall AC This AC is great! It’s unrealisitic to think it will be silent. It’s more quiet then any other other ac I’ve heard even close to 20,000 BTUs. It’s 20 decibels quieter (63db) then my old unit with the same BTUs. It cools quickly and monitors the temperature nicely. The installers did a great job. The old hole had no framing at all and they did a beautiful job repairing the opening and finishing it nicely. It’s an expensive unit but I think it’s worth it compared to what else is on the market. Couldn’t be happier.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Powerful device but need a user-friendly app It is a powerful device, quiet, and has good physical features. I bought it to replace the discontinued model, which fits the wall hole precisely as before. I gave it 4 stars because setting up WIFI control with the app is confusing and not user-friendly. Friedrich has different apps for different AC models, and now I have two different apps to control two ACs installed in the bedroom and living room, respectively. Friedrich should consider consolidating them into one app and modify to a user-friendly app.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Weigh your options Works well. Pretty quiet as air conditioners go. Overpriced. Manufacturer has only one model that fits in current wall opening No other options without reconstruction on external wall.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from So far so good We've had this air conditioner for about a month and its been good so far. I will give it 5 stars in time as long as there isn't any problems. The remote is small but does the job and the noise doesn't bother me much. Not loud but not quiet.

Date published: 2022-09-22
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Giod AC and bad installers. Nice looking AC and cools very well but not as quiet as I'd like it to be. I know its a wall AC and could never be as quiet as a split system or central AC. Overall I'm happy with it, the installers had no customer service skills and were very negative about doing the job in the beginning. I basically had to babysit them to make sure they did the install properly. Their craftsmanship was not good and not well equipped to do this type of work.
Date published: 2022-08-27
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Quiet and efficient We bought this as a through the wall air conditioner because it fits our apartment's current wall opening. We only have it for one month and so far it operates fairly quietly and cools our entire living room, dining room and hallways of our two bedroom apartment set on 70 degrees. No complaints so far. We have not set up the app as yet so can't comment on that. It is powerful and cools down quickly even in 90 degree weather.
Date published: 2022-06-28
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Uneven airflow in this AC nice AC but very unusual that about 85% of airflow comes out of the left vent and 15% out of the right. They told me that is normal for this AC. I never had an AC do that. So must be poor design. You would think an expensive AC like this would have good engineers designing it. Otherwise it does cool my living area and kitchen. Noise level is better than my older unit but I expected it to be even quieter.
Date published: 2022-06-17
Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great unit This unit cools a 600sqft area within a matter of minutes on low. It’s very quiet compared to other units of similar size I’ve owned. It has a remote control and can also be controlled with wifi via an app. The app is nearly impossible to sync to the unit though. A lot of complaints about the app online. Other than the app issues, I’m very pleased and would definitely recommend this AC unit.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Happy with my purchase 4 out of 5 as it is still pretty loud. Great purchase as it cools the house well.

Does it need a support if installing through the wall?

Asked by: BobH
Nope. In fact the new sleeve for the Friedrich unit fit in the existing opening. It just needed a little widening. No support is needed. The installer will use enough screws to securely mount the sleeve in place.
