I see these often for campers/RVs/mobile home parks. They can't do mini splits, dont have standard windows for windows units, or their overhead units died/too expensive.

Maybe you didn't catch that this is a wall unit, not a window unit. Much easier to put a 2.5" hole in a wall for a minisplit than sticking this whole thing through. The window units are necessary sometimes, yes.

really it comes down to cost considerations and installation feasbility:

1) when you already have a wall sleeve from a previous installation, so it's more cost effective to replace the old broken one with a new one like this. we have a rental property where the previous owner many years ago, cut through the brick and installed a wall sleeve for an A/C. when that A/C broke, we removed it and installed a Friedrich through-the-wall A/C into the existing wall sleeve, and done. total cost was $450 at the time, vs thousands for a mini split install

2) you are unable to put in a minisplit due to installation constraints (ie hotel rooms or condo units that have balconies or other structures that prevent running linesets and there isn't room for the condenser unit to sit on the outside). also HOAs which didn't allow window A/Cs many years ago but allowed homeowners many years ago to install through the wall A/Cs, have CC&R's which reflect only the replacement of existing wall sleeve A/Cs and not the installation of mini split units (to maintain exterior conformity)

other than that, mini splits are the way to go

This Frigidaire through the wall air conditioner is best suited for places where a mini split is not practical, especially apartments, rentals, condos, RVs, and other spaces with existing wall sleeves. The price is described as strong for what it is, and the unit can be a straightforward replacement when the wall opening and electrical setup already match. Through the wall designs are also seen as more efficient than window units because they seal better and move air through the rear. The main drawbacks are the heavy, expensive nature of these units and the need to confirm the 230 volt cord and outlet fit before installing.

  • This through-the-wall air conditioner can be a practical replacement when a wall sleeve already exists.

  • This unit can fit apartment or condo setups where mini-splits are blocked by HOA rules or exterior constraints.

    SRFNYCMedic311

  • This design uses sealed sides and draws indoor air through the wall rather than pulling outside air through side slits.

    rafi675

  • This unit may work well for open-space layouts when installation includes proper wiring and a correctly sized sleeve.

    DavidF1980

  • Mini-split alternatives can be difficult to install on higher floors, but through-the-wall units still require suitable wall access.

    lostinthesea

  • This type of unit can be heavy, which makes upgrades or disposal harder after switching to heat pumps.

    smishmain

  • Replacing an existing through-the-wall unit may require checking cord and outlet compatibility before installation.

    Madpuntr

  • Efficiency can drop if the sleeve and airflow setup are not correct, and poor airflow can contribute to compressor failure over time.

People who use these already have through the wall air conditioners installed. You are correct that for a brand new installation mini splits are superior though have a more intricate installation. You're not going to be able to install a mini split easily if you're on the 12th floor of an apartment building for example.
Exactly. I own a twin single with through the wall air conditioners in front of the houses. No place to put the outdoor condenser unit of mini splits except on the driveways or front porches.
Further for those intending to replace a unit, you need to pay attention to what kind of cord end this unit has and the outlet you already have.

I have a 12k 120v one of these I can't even give away since I upgraded to heat pumps. They're just too heavy.

Yeah,no way. with a hole in the wall-the next person will have to patch and then cover it up with a picture.

These are great if you're renting and that's what your apartment/condo or town house has. My dad's condo had a wall fitting for one of these. And when I lived in base housing in Rhode Island, that's what they had. One upstairs and one down in the living room.

Just make sure if you need a 240V or 120v unit

If it fits your use case, not too bad of a deal.

Edit. I had one still in storage after moving home and buying an older house. One of the central air units went out on the non bedroom side of the house so instead of replacing that old unit, I just framed an opening in the wall, installed a sleeve and slid this in. An updated breaker and 30' feet a wire later, I have a wifi controlled AC, with backup heat, that is way more efficient that the older center air system. Works great for open spaces like my use case.

Isnt that very energy inefficient because window units suck outside air through side slits and push through back to cool the radiator. Putting window AC into wall will suck instead house air through the wall then push that outside.

These in-Wall AC you can see has sealed sides to prevent the energy loss. it cools radiator though the back only. made differently.
yep. through the wall A/Cs suck in outside air into the unit from the rear (usually from the edge of the back) to blow over the condenser coils. it's why in the installation instructions you are supposed to install a vertical divider if the wall sleeve is longer than the A/C you are installing so the fan doesn't suck in air that was pushed off the hot condenser coils and back over the coils again. the outside sleeve louvered cover (rear) will have the vertical louvers angled in different directions to account for this...so the air off the condenser coils will blow to, say, the left, and the air gets sucked in from the right. just due to the space constraints though, the air still gets mixed which lowers efficiency naturally. it is what it is. but yeah, they do account for this

putting a window AC in a wall sleeve prevents adequate air flow over the condenser, meaning the heat can't dissipate. efficiency drops and it can even result in compressor failure with time

To install this, you need to dig a super big hole in wall?
Yes, but you cut not dig the hole in the wall.
