2A seems to be a preferred choice in First.
1A doesn't have a cutout so might not be as good for tall people & seems to be colder.
7C/D seems to be preferred choice for E+. Often blocked until T24, but then seem to be available.
7A/B also good, although 7B may get bumped during boarding because it's exposed to passengers as the aisle shifts to the center between the F and Y cabins.
All row 7 seats have ample legroom before the F cabin. There is no bulkhead; just a half-curtain.
United Becomes First Airline to Add New, Larger Overhead Bins to Embraer E175 Aircraft
Photos(1)
New bins will be available on 50 aircraft by the end of this year and can accommodate up to 29 more bags per flight, helping make room for everyone's carry-on
CHICAGO, March 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- United Airlines announced today that it is installing new, larger overhead bins on its Skywest operated Embraer E175 fleet that will provide more room for passengers' roll aboard carry-on bags. These new bins will be available on 50 aircraft with a 76-seat configuration by the end of this year. United may expand the E175 larger overhead bins offering to more than 150 aircraft by the end of 2026.
United is the first airline to offer these larger overhead bins on E175 airplanes and estimates this move will nearly eliminate the need for one million annual passengers to gate-check bags on more than 150,000 E175 flights.
United is enhancing the passenger experience by adding larger overhead bins on the Embraer E175 fleet to increase customer convenience and improve operational efficiency. The new bins will accommodate up to an extra 29 carry-on bags on the regional jets, which is an 80 percent increase in space.
"Customer sentiment for the new overhead bins and signature interiors has been extremely positive. By helping to eliminate the need to gate check bags, we are seeing an increase in gate and boarding satisfaction," said Linda Jojo, United's chief customer officer. "This is just the latest way we're working to create an industry-leading experience for all our customers – whether they're on an international or regional flight."
United now has more than 200 mainline aircraft outfitted with bins large enough to fit every passenger's carry-on bag and is in the process of retrofitting its domestic narrowbody fleet. The new overhead bins in the regional fleet will provide a seamless connecting experience for customers. Every E175 aircraft outfitted with these overhead bins will also have braille and tactile placards that enhance accessibility, part of a larger initiative the airline announced in 2023.
United Airlines and United Express operate an average of more than 4,000 flights a day to over 350 airports across 6 continents. SkyWest is the world's largest E175 operator and flies more than 700 daily departures to more than 140 destinations as United Express. In 2023, United became the world's largest carrier as measured by seat-miles, carrying more than 150 million passengers.

On the starboard side (right hand side facing the front).
Usually there's enough room as not everyone has a roll aboard bag, but there's not enough room for all 12 F passenger's rollaboards, so make sure you board early, be prepared to store your bag in overheads behind you, or gate check it.
The overheads on the port side (left facing the front) are only big enough for small bags.

This is one aircraft where it's critical to pre-board as 1K if you have a roller.
And btw, this is by no means UA specific. The E75 bins are configured the same on UA, DL, and AS (all operated by express carriers).

Under seat baggage stowage location policy on E75?
I was sitting in an aisle F seat on an E75.
This seat has the support splitting the under seat area down the middle.
I placed my small laptop bag under the left side (closest to aisle).
As the an FA walked by doing the final safety check pass, she told me the bag has to be on the right side.
Never heard of this one before. Anyone else encounter this?

I haven't heard that one, but when I'm in one of those seats (I usually snag the A seats to be by myself, so have a limited data set to draw from), I put my bag on the right by default. But I've also never witnessed a FA tell pax in those seats to move their bag over, either.

As for left or right, it's random for me. I think I was standing in the aisle waiting for the guy in the window seat to come up so it was just closer.

Yes. In First, the starboard bins are effectively the same size as mainline and fit a bag the normal way. In Economy, both sides fit the bag lengthwise (long dimension along the aircraft).

First time looking at UA seating discussion on E-175, and surprised at the different opinion as solo traveler in 1A vs. AA. Everyone’s favorite seat (well almost) on AA is 1A in spite of the no underseat. Huge legroom.
Is UA e175 denser than AA’s?

1A could have 20 feet of space in front of it and I would still prefer 2A since I don't have to insert my personal item into the bin scramble that is an ERJ. The seat pitch in the regular rows of F is plenty and getting out of a single seat is very easy.
