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

Trying to review 6000 btu unit and Amazon keeps redirecting me to the older 5000BTU unit I bought previously to edit it. Why? they are not the same? I bought the "used/return" version of the 6000 btu electronic control unit for $70 off the new price. One star to Amazon for sending me an "acceptable" unit and it's not acceptable. Shipped it in a plain box with no packing so arrived with dents. Also came with no intallation kit, no remote or instructions. Not acceptable guys. Since I needed an air conditioner and since I didn't feel like hauling it back to UPS and since I don't like the fan fold side extensions, I kept it though I wish now I had sent it back and made them eat the freight both ways. As for the unit itself it"s pretty good. Keeps the bedroom at 68 degrees and the rest of the 1400sf house at 75 to 76 degrees. Runs at around 505 to 514 watts putting out 42 to 48 degree air. Dislikes: the ECO mode shuts off the unit when it reaches 68 degree set point and then doesn't restart even though the temp gets above 73 or higher. Starts immediately when switched to Cool mode. On low speed the fan is sort of loud and high pitched like its running on high when it's not. I would probably buy it again at the discounted price. As for the 5100 btu model-- I bought it to put in our bedroom as my girlfriend likes it 70 degrees while I am comfortable in 78 degrees. It's too small for the job. I have to shut the bedroom door to keep it at 70 degrees which means the central unit still comes on to keep the rest of the house at 76. I bought a "used" unit for $117. It appears to have come in original box unopened, but there was a hole punched in one side of the box and the rear coil had a flattened area on the fins about 1" x 4". I straighted the fins with a pocket knife (never had much luck with fin combs) and installed the unit with no problems. The unit runs at 390 to 460 watts which is less than previous similar units which usually run at 460 and up. It runs very quietly on low. The main beef with this one is the outlet vent doesn't have up and down vane adjustment--just side to side. Also, the new 6000 btu unit seems to put out a lot more cold air for another 60 watts or so I would probable go the the 6000btu minimum in the future. I may swap the units out to see if the smaller unit will do better in the smaller bedroom/house.

Works well does the job for a small bedroom. Its a bit noisy.

I recently got this small air conditioner for my girl's dorm room. Yes, un-air conditioned in this day and age. Most dorm rooms are small, and hers is no exception, and the Indiana summers can be hot and humid. If you have asthma, that isn't a good combination. So an A/C unit it is. I looked at many brands and features, manual controls or remote controls. I settled on this one for several reasons. First, it was GE, a known brand and likely reliable. Second, its cost; not cheap and not expensive. Third, small size; it easily fits in her dorm window. Manual controls didn't matter, since it's just an arm's reach away. Really, they will set it and leave it alone. So no need for a remote control, with the added expense. Installation was easy. A bracket or retaining strip is screwed to the top with three screws (supplied, naturally). There are other bolts included to secure the unit to the frame of the window once you have it in place. (Drill the holes as needed.) The two side accordian-like pieces, which are stretched out to fit the window width, attach by sliding them down the side of the unit -- no tools for that. A frame is popped onto the sides, and it's good to go. The window closes onto the top retaining strip, and you're done. Pay attention and use good sense when setting the unit into the window. We didn't, and let it drop right out the window because we both let go at the same time, before securing it well. It's back-heavy, and did a nice thud onto the ground outside. "DOA" we both thought. But no, apparently this unit is rather rugged (or we were just lucky) because once we retrieved it and properly secured it, it came on and started cooling. Plus-one for GE. Since few things are perfect, I'd say the little flaps at the side are the weak spot. They aren't as flexible as they should be and the way the frame attaches to them is rather flimsy. It was a small struggle getting them to properly extend and stay extended. Duct tape truly is a helpful product.

The ONLY issue I have is that I can't adjust the direction of the air up or down. I can left to right, but not up or down. I have a tall bedroom window ((5 ft tall), and the sill is barely 2 ft off the ground) so I would have liked to tilt the air flow up a little bit, but I can't. Other than that? It's doing an amazing job. Because it was shipped I let it sit for a few hours with just the fan on before I turned on the AC unit, (let the refrigerant settle), and just the fan was cooling the room. Most AC units will pull air from outside, push it through a coil that's super cooled, and push it into the house. This one pulls air from inside the house through the front, cools it, and then pushes it out. Just the fan lowered the temperature a couple degrees, because it was pulling ou the hot air, and blowing it back out cooler than when it went in, and when I finally did turn on the AC unit, it REALLY cooled down quickly. In fact, I forgot to turn it turn the first night and woke up the next morning to a freezing cold room. It's a little beast.

I like having a window unit in my bedroom. I recently replaced a 20-year-old 5000 BTU unit made by GE with a Medea, but it unfortunately made a rattling/grinding noise every time the compressor came on. What I did like about that unit was that it was black. I really like the fact that it helps to block light that would normally come through with a white air conditioner. I decided to go back to GE, and was able to find that they did indeed produce a black unit, and it really does a nice job of blocking light from coming into my bedroom. At 5000 BTUs, it is the correct size for the room, and keeps the room nice and cool. The fan itself is a bit loud, but that doesn't bother me because it is very much like a white noise generator. The compressor comes on very quietly, so it doesn't interrupt my sleep. So far, this has been a good purchase, and because it is such a simple air conditioner, without all the bells and whistles of being a smart unit with Wi-Fi and remote controls, I expect that it will last for years-just like my previous GE.

I know GE is a good product, but Amazon & USPS shipping is terrible. AC box clearly marked "UP/FRAGILE" so product is not shipped upside-down. Amazon packed that box Inside another box, but the Amazon box was not marked "UP/FRAGILE" so shipping company would know which side is UP. AC machine leak all its oil & freon out. Box was damaged & AC machine was damaged. Exchange it with another & explained packaging issue to Amazon. Amazon said they would advise shipper about marking the Amazon box. I received replacement, same issue with box not being marked "UP or FRAGILE " I let the AC machine set for 24 hours before plugging it in & turning it on. Turned on high cold, AC worked but not very cold. I let it run for 30 minutes, finally got cold. Installed unit, turned it open high cold. Still not blowing cold. Let it run 30 minutes & checked temperature with thermal heat gun. Temperature at vent 69 degrees. Turned on low & compressor turned off. Temperature at 90 degrees, AC compressor never came back on. Turned it off, let it set for 10 minutes, turned it on high cold & AC compressor came on. Blew cold. It ran for 5 minutes & AC compressor turned off. It never came back on. I returned product & spoke with Amazon. Explained my frustration about shipper. Amazon advised me they have no control on how/who will be shipping products. I explained USPS does not care about how the product is handled & the person delivering our Amazon products are elderly females. They have dropped many packages on the ground out of their vehicle to the ground. Suggested how to fix this issue to Local USPS, but frustration has fallen on Deaf Ears. I ordered a different unit & hope someone will package the replacement AC unit correctly.

Works very well. We were able to get it installed in about half an hour.

Works very well and looks super nice. I would definitely buy it again.
