I’m being very honest and disappointed by the GE air conditioner. I went out of my way to purchase a GE product and it never completely cools the bedroom off. I had it installed by a professional electrician also.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there and thanks for reviewing your new air conditioner. This unit is meant to cool a room up to 150 square feet. Please be sure the airflow isn’t restricted and that you’ve given the unit enough time to cool off the room. Additional information and troubleshooting tips can be found on page 12 of your user’s manual here: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-5000453.pdf.

After terrible luck with more modern, updated equipment (i.e. electrical appliances) I have come to find its best to stick with what is simple. This AC is just that and works just as great as the more modern, updated, EXPENSIVE products that over time just short out or have other electrical problems that no one can seem to solve. Bottom line, stick with what you know, take the more simple approach, save some money and buy THIS AC.
If you like simple this unit is as simple as it gets. Does what it should blows cold air. Not that noisy on low or high. It doesn’t rattle unit seems to be tight for the most part. Now the only thing I think they went to cheap on was the vents that control air flow. They only adjust left to right, no up or down movement. To me that seems a little to cheap but like I said it doesn’t rattle. It would still be nice to be able to control the up and down position of the vent air flow. Case seem to be painted well and it is made from metal not plastic. Compressor is China and so is fan motor but looked up name and it seems to be one of the better China compressor. Shaft that operates the blower cage seems to be positioned good and balanced so there is little to no vibration. One plus I give GE is that it does have a drain hole on the unit so you can decide if you want the water to be splashed on the coils for a 2 percent better cooling. Most other units don’t give this option and the water hitting the fan blades will drive you crazy if installed in a bedroom. So far a decent low budget unit.
