Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Frigidaire FAM186R2A 18,500-BTU Window Air Conditioner with Electronic ControlsCustomer Review: Open the thing IMMEDIATELY - ours wasn't wired for American homes! Check Plug right away to be safe Summary: 1 StarsNormally Amazon is great when selling appliances and everyone I know who owns this unit adores it. BUT.... don't do what we did and wait a couple of weeks to take a long and hard look at the unit. If you buy this from Amazon, open it the moment you get it and first check the power cord. if we had done that before assembling the darm machine, we could have saved ourselves hours of work, buckets of sweat and about of pint of blood from the cuts my husband got trying to remove the interior packing materials that are glued on.
BUYER BEWARE on this item - Amazon shipped us a unit not intended for use in American homes. Maybe it was a mistake on the part of their supplier. I don't know. All I do know is it took 2 months to get the thing returned and get a refund.
BTW, We know it wasn't the right American plug because after trying to figure out why the plug was so weird, we took digital photos of the plug and took them to a specialty electronics store who confirmed the plug would need an American adapter to the tune of $200. We gave up and returned the AC to Amazon after a great deal of hassle.
OK, so the next week we bought the EXACT SAME UNIT at another retailer for the same price and the plug was the correct plug. Not taking any chances, we opened the box up in the store to be sure. In fact, the plug was pictured on the box. The one Amazon sent us did NOT picture the plug on the box.
Now maybe we just had bad luck. I dunno, I am only trying to help save others the unbelievable hassle we went thru trying to get Amazon to take this thing back.
My advice is to go ahead and buy this unit where you live because it really is a wonderful AC. The unit we bought locally is well-built, sturdy as a Sherman tank and attractive. If you simply MUST buy it from Amazon, be sure to check the power cord right away and if you have the same problem we did, call their customer servicer center right away and demand the return slip. Just be prepared to explain the situation carefully, SOur Rep didn't speak English very well and wasn't even sure what I was talking about with regard to the electrical issue. or that there even was a difference between European and USA power plugs. She was polite though and offered to facilitate the return. Unfortunately, she either didn't follow thru or didn't understand the problem because it took several more calls to get the return made.
I know these reviews are supposed to be about the product and not the shipping problems. However, in this case, the substitution of an International model for the American model was not a mere inconvenience, it was a hardship. It took considerable time and effort to get this corrected.
Just check the plug first thing, OK? If it's the right plug then enjoy your AC. I just am hoping to save people some trouble.
