Our Verdict

Frigidaire FHWC054TE1

Toshiba RAC-WK0612CRRU

The Frigidaire FHWC054TE1 and Toshiba RAC-WK0612CRRU have different strengths. The Frigidaire's fan is a little quieter, and it does a marginally better job of maintaining a stable humidity level while operational. That said, the Toshiba does a better job of maintaining your desired temperature and will cool an equivalently sized room a little faster thanks to its slightly higher cooling capacity.
