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

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.

Works amazingly well. A/C unit is powerful and pretty quiet (as long as you're realistic and don't expect complete silence). Cooled down my son's room really quick and it actually gets colder than our house unit. Absolutely love it. Installation was easy and quick. High-quality and highly recommended for emergencies.

This window AC is a fantastic find for the price! It's incredibly quiet, and perfect for a bedroom. For me, it's been a game-changer in my home office. I'm on calls all day, and not a single person has mentioned hearing it, which was a constant issue with my old unit.​Performance wise, it cools my office down in no time and holds the set temperature perfectly. It can quickly be set with the included remote, however I do wish the remote had a screen of it's own. It was super easy to install though!​The only small annoyance is the washable filter. While it slides out from the side, getting it back in is a challenge. It always seems to catch on something near the end of the track, causing the filter to bend if you're not careful.​Honestly, besides that one little quirk, this is a great AC that gets the job done.

This GE 5,000 BTU window unit is exactly what I needed! Installation was quick and easy with the included kit, and within minutes it was up and running. For a small bedroom, it cools the space incredibly fast and keeps the temperature comfortable even on the hottest days. The manual controls are simple and straightforward—no unnecessary bells and whistles, just reliable cooling power.It runs quietly enough to sleep through, and the fan settings make it easy to adjust airflow just the way I like it. For the price, this unit is an amazing value, and I can see why it’s a best seller. Highly recommend for anyone needing an affordable and effective AC for a small space!

Ordered unit from Amazon on 7-30-24. Got it on 8-2-24. Fast. Is it a 5000 btu, 5100 btu or a 5050 btu as the placard says?It came in a very well packaged box inside of an Amazon box that was too big and had no packing to keep the A/C box from moving around. The A/C box was marked with an "UP" arrow, this side up, but was upside down in the Amazon box. I unpacked it, righted it and waited 24 hours to see if it cooled before installing it in the window. It ran, got cold, but the compressor has a whine one can hear for a long distance. It had been dropped on the left rear corner bending it and jarring a screw loose in the top center of the unit housing. Good thing it had been packaged well in its box or the damage could have been worse. The best I can tell the coils, lines, fan blades and such are not making contact with the case. After a bit of running on low cool, the unit started a pinging noise as described in the manual. It was water rising in the pan and the condenser fan was picking it up and splashing it against the right side of the louvers and outside the unit. The manual states there is a small rubber plug under the unit. Removing the plug will drain the pan of water stopping the pinging and splatter. However, the unit will not be as efficient. It won't cool as well, because the splatter helps cool the condenser coil. If that is true, the compressor should also run cooler with the splatter, but its life span might be shorter by removing the plug. This is not the way to design a cooling system. If your house is wood siding, that splatter will take a toll on it. The unit has cooling louvers to direct the cool air right and left. There is no means to direct the cool air up away from the incoming warmer air below the cool air vent. I am using this unit as climate control for a storage room. I'm not pointing fingers, but Amazon could have labeled "Fragile, This Side Up" on its box and put in packing to keep the A/C box from moving around. Why did I buy this unit? The price was low, and I have a GE 5050 K btu unit made in 2013 that is still running fine. Manufactures were using a non-flammable, R22 or the like back then and the units didn't need water splash to help them cool properly. I should have spent a few more dollars and got better unit. Except for the above, the unit is fine for my purpose. I would not want it in a bedroom or any lived in space. If it lasts a season or two, I'll be surprised. Just my two cents.
