GE Window Air Conditioner Unit, 5,000 BTU for Small Rooms up to 150 sq ft. with Manual Adjustable Fan and Cooling Settings, Perfect for Small Bedroom or Living Room, Easy Install Kit Included, White

Works well and that's all we needed for a small room.

Trying to review 6000 btu unit and Amazon keeps redirecting me to the older 5000BTU unit I bought previously to edit it. Why? they are not the same? I bought the "used/return" version of the 6000 btu electronic control unit for $70 off the new price. One star to Amazon for sending me an "acceptable" unit and it's not acceptable. Shipped it in a plain box with no packing so arrived with dents. Also came with no intallation kit, no remote or instructions. Not acceptable guys. Since I needed an air conditioner and since I didn't feel like hauling it back to UPS and since I don't like the fan fold side extensions, I kept it though I wish now I had sent it back and made them eat the freight both ways. As for the unit itself it"s pretty good. Keeps the bedroom at 68 degrees and the rest of the 1400sf house at 75 to 76 degrees. Runs at around 505 to 514 watts putting out 42 to 48 degree air. Dislikes: the ECO mode shuts off the unit when it reaches 68 degree set point and then doesn't restart even though the temp gets above 73 or higher. Starts immediately when switched to Cool mode. On low speed the fan is sort of loud and high pitched like its running on high when it's not. I would probably buy it again at the discounted price.As for the 5100 btu model-- I bought it to put in our bedroom as my girlfriend likes it 70 degrees while I am comfortable in 78 degrees. It's too small for the job. I have to shut the bedroom door to keep it at 70 degrees which means the central unit still comes on to keep the rest of the house at 76. I bought a "used" unit for $117. It appears to have come in original box unopened, but there was a hole punched in one side of the box and the rear coil had a flattened area on the fins about 1" x 4". I straighted the fins with a pocket knife (never had much luck with fin combs) and installed the unit with no problems. The unit runs at 390 to 460 watts which is less than previous similar units which usually run at 460 and up. It runs very quietly on low. The main beef with this one is the outlet vent doesn't have up and down vane adjustment--just side to side. Also, the new 6000 btu unit seems to put out a lot more cold air for another 60 watts or so I would probable go the the 6000btu minimum in the future. I may swap the units out to see if the smaller unit will do better in the smaller bedroom/house.

I have bought a couple of these little 5K btu A/C 's GE manual control . The new one was fine , no problems . This past winter I bought another listed as "like new" . The "like new" unit came in a box that was battered and more repair tape than cardboard . This "like New" unit looked like it had been dropped from a 3rd story window , most of metal parts were bent and much of the rear coil fins bent flat . Front plastic panel cracked, on and on . It did however have all the parts . Didn't look at it much until warm weather came , ( by then of course the return window was expired ) . Got the toolbox out and began straightening metal , gluing plastic , putting fins back in place etc . HEY ! it works ! Have been running the unit for several days now and it works just fine on low cool or high cool . One of the selector knobs on front panel is a little off alignment , just marked it with a sharpie . Bottom line , Would think twice about ordering a "like new" unit , who even knows what a lesser rated unit would look like . I give GE 5+ stars for making a "tuff" little A/C but must subtract a star for the condition of the "like new" unit I received .This Is ; InMyOpinion .

It works amazingly definitely worth buying.

I know GE is a good product, but Amazon & USPS shipping is terrible. AC box clearly marked "UP/FRAGILE" so product is not shipped upside-down. Amazon packed that box Inside another box, but the Amazon box was not marked "UP/FRAGILE" so shipping company would know which side is UP.AC machine leak all its oil & freon out. Box was damaged & AC machine was damaged. Exchange it with another & explained packaging issue to Amazon. Amazon said they would advise shipper about marking the Amazon box. I received replacement, same issue with box not being marked "UP or FRAGILE " I let the AC machine set for 24 hours before plugging it in & turning it on. Turned on high cold, AC worked but not very cold. I let it run for 30 minutes, finally got cold. Installed unit, turned it open high cold. Still not blowing cold. Let it run 30 minutes & checked temperature with thermal heat gun. Temperature at vent 69 degrees. Turned on low & compressor turned off. Temperature at 90 degrees, AC compressor never came back on. Turned it off, let it set for 10 minutes, turned it on high cold & AC compressor came on. Blew cold. It ran for 5 minutes & AC compressor turned off. It never came back on. I returned product & spoke with Amazon. Explained my frustration about shipper. Amazon advised me they have no control on how/who will be shipping products. I explained USPS does not care about how the product is handled & the person delivering our Amazon products are elderly females. They have dropped many packages on the ground out of their vehicle to the ground. Suggested how to fix this issue to Local USPS, but frustration has fallen on Deaf Ears. I ordered a different unit & hope someone will package the replacement AC unit correctly.

good

I bought and built a plenum box for my homemade camper/trailer. Has good output, and I can run it off a 12v battery with an inverter.

cools great, pretty easy to install, that's about all you can ask for
