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

Had this AC for about 23 days now and it’s been solid. I got it for a 150 to 200 square foot Airbnb guest bedroom and it’s been doing exactly what I needed. Guests keep saying how comfortable the room feels and a couple even mentioned they sleep better with the hum. It’s not loud, just a low steady sound that kinda helps you relax.It arrived right when the weather started getting hot, so it came in clutch. Set up was simple and it fit in the window just fine. Took maybe 20 to 30 minutes total. Once it’s running, it cools the space down quick and keeps it steady without freezing the room out.One of my favorite things is the analog controls. No digital buttons or fancy screens. Just old-school knobs that feel like they’ll last longer. The touch panel stuff on other units always seems to glitch after a while. This one feels like it’ll hold up.Noise-wise, it’s totally reasonable. Not too loud, not silent either. Just a nice background hum. Perfect for sleeping or just chilling in the room.So far it’s done the job really well and kept guests happy, which is what matters most to me. If anything changes I’ll come back and update, but for now, I’m happy with it.

It works great price was low and it's freezing cold easy to use . We had three 5000 BTU units our house was still staying 80 something degrees so I ordered this GE air conditioner 5000 BTUs it dropped the temperature in my house 10°. I could not believe the difference now I'm able to walk around my home and feel comfortable I will buy another one to replace the other air conditioners that I have that are not GE from now on I'll be buying three more GE air conditioners just like this one everything about it made me want to give it five stars and the black around it,well it came with the entire installation kit but my windows are huge old windows so I had to add cardboard and some tape around it just to get it to fit correctly that was my fault not ge's fault so I did that and I'm going to tell you something even without the tape if you do your measurements right it will look beautiful in your window and it will work like a dream now I don't know how it would work by itself but I'm guessing if it were in a room by itself and it were the only air conditioner it would be very nice and comfortable in that room cuz it works perfect in my home it dropped my house 10 degrees like I said I have three other air conditioners but just this air conditioner by itself dropped my living room 10°. So now I'm walking around in my house at 70° temperature I am so happy with this product thank you ge and Amazon.

This is a bare-bones small window-mount air conditioner unit. Not fancy, but it works reasonably well. At 6000 BTU, it is rated for rooms around 200 to 250 ft.². I have mine in an 11 x 18‘ room (200 ft.²), and it will cool that room to a comfortable temperature within about an hour, and keep it there.Operation is very simple: you can use the remote or front panel buttons to set a target temperature (which is not entirely accurate because the room tends to be cooler right near the AC, but you can adjust the temp up or down until the room finally stabilizes at a point you’re comfortable with, regardless of the number on the display). It will remember the temp setting after you turn it off, and retain that setting the next time you turn it on. There is a “Delay“ button which allows you to input a number of hours (push “Delay,” then use the “+” and “-“ buttons to set the number of hours on the display). If the unit is off when you set the delay, it will stay off for that length of time and then turn on automatically, so you can have it go on, say, one or two hours before you expect to come home from work, and get the room cool before you get back; if the unit is on, setting the delay will turn it off after the set number of hours, so you can leave it running to keep the room cool for that length of time and then turn itself off (useful in a bedroom at night). It has settings to adjust the fan speed, to set it for fan only (no cooling), and “Eco” (energy saving). The remote is simple and kind of chintzy feeling, but controls all the functions. All these basic functions do just what you expect.The unit has louvers to direct the air output left or right, but not up or down. They don’t work very well; the air just mostly blows straight out.My major issue is with the window mount system. Like most similar units, this is designed to fit in the bottom half of a double-hung window, with the sliding window frame pulled down on top of it to hold it in place. It is very important that it be mounted correctly and securely, so it doesn’t fall out of the window. The problem is that the mounting instructions seem to assume a particular kind of window frame design, but there are many different kinds of double-hung windows with different architecture. There is a top bar that you attach to the top of the AC case with some supplied screws. After you balance the unit on the bottom edge of the window frame, you pull the sliding window section down on top of it so that the top bar is inside the lower edge of the sliding window frame. You then have to securely fix that frame so it never opens again; if anybody raises that window frame, or it just gets loose somehow, there will be nothing holding the AC in place and it will fall straight out. They supply a couple of flimsy metal brackets that you are expected to screw into the fixed window frame above the top edge of the sliding portion, to block it from sliding up after you have mounted the AC. This assumes that there is a flat surface that you can easily drill into along the edge of the window frame. Not all window frames are like that. There is also a flimsy metal clip supposed to be mounted to a screw at the bottom of the AC case, and screwed down into the bottom of the window frame for a little bit of extra security. That assumes that your window frame is designed so that there is a flat surface right below the case of the AC when you balance it on the bottom edge of the open frame; again, not all windows are like that. In my case, I couldn’t mount any of those little clips the way they were intended, and there is no other way to mount the unit with the supplied hardware. I finally drilled right through the top bar, in front of the sliding window frame where it comes down to hold the AC in place, and drove a sheet metal screw through the bar and into the window frame, locking the two securely together; then I cut two wooden dowels to exact length and fixed them in place between the top of the sliding window section and the very top of the fixed frame so they prevent the sliding section from being pushed up. Now the sliding window is blocked from going above the top bar on the AC, and it is screwed into the top bar where it touches it down below, so nothing is going to shift, but I had to do all that myself. The mounting hardware supplied with the unit is very light, and doesn’t match my window architecture at all. Be prepared to figure out a solution for yourself if necessary.All in all, this is a typical small window AC unit that does what it is expected to do. It is not fancy, and you may have to adjust or replace the mounting hardware to get it to fit in your window, but once it’s installed it works OK.IMPORTANT: Mounting an AC unit like this solely on the edge of the window frame is possible but not the best solution. It is safer and more secure to mount a bracket sticking out from the window frame to provide a solid surface for the AC unit to rest on and support the weight, then secure the window frame as described above to keep the unit from moving, but without putting the full weight of the unit on the window frame. There are many AC mounting brackets designed specifically for this purpose. My ridiculous window architecture did not allow the use of such a bracket, so I had to just lock the window frame down on it and hope for the best. I would strongly recommend adding a mounting bracket if you can fit one on your window.

Just received my unit and had it up and running in 20 minutes. Very good for what I need. I have a 12' by 18' office that gets a lot of sun. This unit keeps it at my desired temperature with ease. I like the remote control, and the auto shut off and on feature. I don't expect the side curtains to last more than a year or two, but they are easily replaced with more durable inserts. The unit is a little louder than I thought it would be given the reviews, but you can lower the speed and reduce the sound. All in all, good value for my money. I would buy this unit again and recommend it to others with similar needs. I'll update my review if my opinion changes over time..

Insanely quiet and efficient, 30 minutes after turning it on my room went from 84 to 76. I'd suggest using High Cool setting and adjusting the Cool knob to your liking; the Low Cool setting seems to switch between fan and AC mode which increases dB level considerably.Easy install, very straightforward.I'd suggest this for anyone in need of cooling down in a medium to small bedroom.Even with a window fan and getting my room down to 60 degrees, I would find myself closing my window by 8am and by 6pm my room would be 91 degrees. Getting this bad boy AC unit was a game changer. No more having 30 degrees of fluctuation.
