GE Window Air Conditioner 5,000 BTU AC Unit for Small Rooms up to 150 sq ft with Manual Controls & 2 Cooling Modes for Bedroom or Living Room, Easy Install Kit, White

We do not have central AC and so previously were relying on portable AC units. This went on sale recently so decided to just try this basic unit for a small room we had. The window is not large but this AC unit was able to fit. Cooling performance is significantly better than the portable AC unit. The prior 8000btu LG portable single-hose AC unit would struggle to take the temperature down from indoor 80-81 to 75-76. With the "temperature" between 5-7, I think the room gets down to 70-75 easily. Installation was easier than expected. It only weighs 35 lbs so I feel confident with the provided brackets that it will stay in place and won't mind taking it out in the winter. I do miss some smarter features like setting a timer, or a sleep mode to slowly let the temp rise while sleeping, but for the cost this was well worth it and I plan to just put it on a smart plug. It is not the quietest AC unit and I would say slightly quieter than the portable unit we had when directly in front of the unit. However with our bed not directly in front of the window, it's quieter around the sides since the compressor and fans are mostly outside. Great performance overall especially for the price! We are super happy with this.

Our bedroom is 13x10 and gets so cold we have to turn it off in the middle of the night. This was a great price and well worth the money. We don’t run it in the day. Just when we are getting ready for bed and it gets cold fast.

I wish I could rate zero stars. Item came completely damaged, front has dark fingerprints and literally dried BLOOD, like a lot of it, not even a little bit. I immediately clocked it as a return. The box looked like it had been opened and re-packaged. I didn’t mind the surface damage until I realized there is no cooling system to the unit. I wasted my time and energy installing this in 100 degrees only to realize the unit is defective. Nothing more than a heavy dangerous fan. Blowing HOT air, tried everything I could think of to trigger the cool air. Amazon refuses to do anything about it. I might have to take it up with my bank at this point. 0/5.

Simple design. Cold air that keeps working through a heat wave. Got this for our newborn nursery and it keeps the room temperature down and at a comfortable constant level. The only con is no remote control but it’s a great unit.

Inexpensive and works great for small bedroom. Installed with ease and this is the second summer I’ve used it. It is installed on the second floor west facing room and has balanced the temperature in the house and reduce over all cost.

Easy to install. This unit is not too loud, it sounds like a fan basically. It cools a large bedroom quickly. A well-known and reliable brand.

Works well but cool air direction is not great I have to use a fan in front to draw air into room.

Not bad. When not running, it will allow warm air to seep in. Easy to assemble and install. A bit loud for the bedroom. Not bad for the price point. Ordering a significantly more expensive unit for better control and much quieter.
