What these essentially boil down to is how much the unit is going to cost you to run, and what guarantees you have of how the product will perform while operating. The higher the efficiency rating of a unit, the less it will cost you in proportion to its output. Equally as important as the efficiency rating of a unit is its certifications. Ideally, a product will have earned a safety certification that declares it safe for public use, in the case of the Frigidaire FFRE0833S1, the safety certification comes from Underwriters Laboratories, a third-party group of industry-recognised individuals who assess units to determine whether or not they are suitable for public use.
