GE 115 Volt Room Air Conditioner

I bought this because it was mechanical with two nice large knobs instead of those useless for me digital screens that are hard to see without a flashlight in the evening and beep at you. This GE model was the only small one that had side accordion panels that fit window widths up to 38" rather than 36". While the air direction adjustment is only left and right, it works well enough. One precaution- make sure when you install it that the electrical cord goes up to through the small cut out on the left side and doesn't go under the air-conditioner which happened at first when my handyman installed it rather quickly. The directions are very good- especially the part that reminds you to be sure it's installed level with a slight tilt toward the outside- and to use a level to measure. I didn't do that with a previous air conditioner ( the digital one, another brand) and wound up with water inside the window sill that damaged the wall paint before I noticed it. Another advantage is the very accessible air filter. I've owned room air conditioners for over 50 years and two of this capacity with all windows closed and unused rooms closed off during the worst heat of the day, can keep a three bedroom ranch house comfortable. It helps to have a forced air heating system with a fan that keeps running with the heat off and circulates the air conditioned air with the naturally cooler basement air - dehumidified by a basement dehumidifier. The key to comfort is keeping your windows closed and buying air conditioners with smaller BTU ratings that will run all the time.

Quiet enough for sleeping and cools my room to 72 nicely. Makes a big difference in the whole apartment (600 sq ft). Only wish I had ordered it sooner. 108 degrees the other day and kept right on cooling. Delivered right to my door quickly and it's easy to put together and install.

For only $109.00 it is a great value. Cools my large bedroom really well even when it's over 90. It is rated only 50 BTU higher than the Arctic King I had, but cools much better. Sure it has no remote and very few functions other than fan and cool with high and low speed settings, but then again, you want it to cool, not to set your DVR! Very good A/C for the money.

I bought this same model ac last summer and it is still working as good as new. This is a great value, because while it says it is a 5,050 BTU, it is actually a 5200 BTU. I bought the second one for my bedroom, because I work nights and my apartment has a weird layout. Very happy.

I bought this as a value with the hope that it would work as advertised. It does! Although listed as able to cool a 100 sq ft room, I find it is able to cool an even bigger space. My main living area is about 250 sq. ft and it does the job. It is quiet as well...I recommend it!

The AC came well packaged; it seems to be well constructed; it blows a lot of cold air; and the instructions were clear, so it's all good as of the first week of operation. I could get a 150 SF bedroom down to about 60 degrees on a day when it was 95 outside. This is a north side bedroom in a very well insulated house. On high cool, the combination of cooled, less humid air and an enthusiastic fan makes the room uncomfortably chilly. Backing off to low cool and medium setting, the temp rises to 72, just about right. Downside: installing this AC in a slider window (which I think is the most common window in modern construction) takes a panel to cover the open space above, not the easiest thing for the average home owner. I have read reviews of other similar ACs and the major complaint is that they quit working just after the warranty expires. If my AC is as durable as it now appears to be, I'll be a happy customer.

I have a very narrow window in my living room. I only needed to take the heat off of the room rather than make it an ice box. Since I could not put in a larger air conditioner, I needed to find one small enough to fit the window. This air conditioner just made it. The louvers were a bit of a problem to fit in the window sill properly but that was due to the window opening and not the unit itself. Surprisingly this unit kept the whole room quite cool on the low cool setting. The controls are simple and easy. I see why so many people have purchased this unit. You can spend the extra $$$ for the digital version of this unit but why?? You just want to cool the room. Set the dial and forget it. It takes you no effort to get up off the couch to turn the dial. I will purchase another unit for the bedroom. Thank you Walmart & GE.

This is a great little air conditioner! I bought it to cool my granddaughter's room that for some reason is always too warm or just plain HOT! It's lightweight, quiet, and works extremely well. It has a couple of settings and is relatively low cost. My granddaughter came out of her room and commented that for once, her room is cooler than the rest of the house with the central air running. We're completely satisfied so far...but I haven't received a utility bill yet. To be continued...

I ordered online and it was delivered within a few days. It weighed 40 lbs but I put it in the bedroom window myself. I'm a 54 yr old woman and it was so hot I was ready for it. I still need to have someone install it properly using the window fit kit but for right now it is sturdy enough that it won't fall out. It is quieter than the small fan I had been using and it blows chilled air but not forceful blowing. It won't cool outside the room unless I put a fan on the floor of the bedroom and have it blowing out to cool my kitchen. I have no cons to write about.

I've seen ac's that put out colder air, but this is a pretty powerful unit for its' size and power consumption. The price is excellent, and I received this at my door within a few days, with free shipping. I bought an 8000btu ge unit last year, and returned it because it was weak. I believe this unit puts out better cooling than that one did, with far less wattage. I've only had it a couple weeks. I hope it lasts a while.
