Frigidaire Gallery 3-in-1 Smart Inverter.
14,000 BTU ASHRAE rated to ~700 sq ft, with an inverter compressor that keeps it quiet for its size and SmartHQ/Alexa control built in.
The Verdict.

“The most square footage per dollar on the list. 14,000 BTU rated to ~700 sq ft, quiet for its size, with SmartHQ scheduling. Big, but that is the price of cooling a large room — and it undercuts the flagship.”
