Goldstar "VS" Fedders which is best?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread |
Ok I have located 2 air conditioners that are priced the same. A Fedders 5000 BTU and a GoldStar 5250 BTU. Both feature a 1-year parts and labor warranty and a 5-yr compressor warranty.Which one is the better a/c??????? Opinions, experiences with either appreciated.

Fedders is an older line, but I've had a GoldStar that was just fine.What is the SEER rating of each? I would suggest going with the higher efficiency unit.

I believe they were both rated 9.3

Aren't they both made in Korea?

I have been out of the A/C business for some years now but, I remember a Fedders 5000 btu that wouldn't cool the area of a dog house let alone a bedroom. And the compressors quit under warrenty lots of times. That may have changed now, I don't know. Fedders used to be the best in my opinion before they sold out to White/Westinghouse. Who knows, maybe it gets hot in Korea.

I had a Fedders for 12 years and it was used when I bought it. It always worked great!
