This is by far the quietest air conditioner I have ever owned. Not only is a quiet, but the cooling efficiency is amazing. I love the under window profile so I can still open my window up on cooler days and just have the fresh air come in. The Wi-Fi app is also amazing. I can turn the air conditioning on when I am driving home so the house is cool by the time I get there. I highly recommend this over any other brand.
Installation was really nice, I set it up on a 2nd story window with no outside access. My windows height was 13.5" it was a tight squeeze but not bad to setup. The difference was immediate dropping from 84 to 74 in 30 minutes. Planning to install another one at my mother in laws house.
Easy install, easy care, installed 2 last year, another this year, will likely install one in every room with time. Love the wifi connectivity.

Thank you for your continued trust—we're happy to hear these units have been such a great fit for your home. It's great to know installation and upkeep have been easy, and that you're enjoying the Wi-Fi connectivity for added convenience.
This model is built with inverter technology, which adjusts performance smoothly and quietly while maximizing energy efficiency. It’s also part of the quietest window AC lineup in its category, operating at sound levels as low as 40 dB.
We appreciate your loyalty and we are confident this unit will continue to perform great for many years to come!
My review of this product (GE Clear view 10,300 btu saddle window ac) is a bit different from the others I have seen here.
While I do like the design of this unit, it lacks some functionality that I was expecting.
The beauty of this unit is the saddle design which makes it a quieter unit than standard window units that sit on top of the window sill. Also this saddle design allows the use of the window to see outside and open the window when desired. This is why I love this design, however it's not without issues which I did not expect, as you will see below.....
First, this unit is not capable of adequately pumping the water to the outside, which means you have to remove the drain cap, pull the filter, and allow the water that has accumulated in the pan of the inside section of the unit to drain into a bucket inside your home, this must be done every 1 or 2 weeks or so, otherwise the water will eventually collect in the bottom pan inside and overflow onto your floor. If you are ok with draining the water every so often then this unit will likely be ok for you.
I have also noticed the bluetooth never works for me. However, I found bluetooth is not necessary since this unit also has WiFi connectivity. I have also found the phone App to be while very convenient, it frequently does not work properly. When it does work it's great to use.
Another annoying thing about this unit is trying to reset the filter warning. The clean filter warning comes on very often and requires you to clean the water filter, and the two air filters, then reset the filter warning. However, it seems like it should be easier to reset the filter warning but I found it to be difficult to do, this requires you to turn off the unit and unplug a few times until the filter resets on the unit and in the App.
All in all this unit looks good, cools well, and is fairly quiet compared to standard window units, so if you can live with the other issues I mentioned above then you might be satisfied with this unit.
GE has agreed to buy back this unit from me so I can decide what my options are on a different unit next year. GE is in my opinion deserves credit for backing up their products and offering me the buy back option, thank you GE.
