Reliable and Convenient!!
I've been using the GE 350 Sq. Ft. 8,000 BTU Smart Window Air Conditioner for a year now, and overall, it's been a solid addition to my home. The 8,000 BTU rating is perfect for my space, effectively cooling my room which is approximately 300 sq. ft. On particularly hot days, it manages to maintain a comfortable temperature without any issues. The cooling is consistent, and the fan modes provide a good range of airflow options. One of the standout features of this air conditioner is its smart capabilities. The WiFi connectivity allows me to control the unit remotely using the app, which is incredibly convenient. I can turn it on or off, adjust the temperature, and set schedules all from my phone. This has been particularly useful for ensuring my home is cool when I arrive after a long day. In terms of noise, it's relatively quiet for a window unit. On the lower settings, it’s hardly noticeable, and even on higher settings, it's not overly disruptive. It’s suitable for both day and night use without causing significant disturbances. This model seems to be energy-efficient, as my electricity bills haven’t spiked significantly since I started using it. The energy saver mode is a great feature that cycles the fan and compressor to maintain the set temperature, reducing energy consumption. The design is sleek and modern, fitting well into my window without being an eyesore. Installation was straightforward, though it's definitely a two-person job to ensure it’s securely in place. The included remote control is handy and works well, allowing for easy adjustments without needing to use the app. The display on the unit is clear, and the buttons are intuitive. After a year of use, the air conditioner is still running smoothly without any issues. It has proven to be reliable, and the build quality appears durable enough to last for several more years. In conclusion, the GE 350 Sq. Ft. 8,000 BTU Smart Window Air Conditioner has been a reliable and efficient cooling solution for my home. Its smart features, ease of use, and performance make it a worthwhile investment. If you’re looking for a window air conditioner that offers modern conveniences and solid performance, this model is definitely worth considering.

Great air conditioner
originally did not think about Best Buy for air conditioner. Could not find one at the big hardware stores so I checked here, not only did they have what I needed but it was a great price. This is exactly what I needed for my new building I am using as on office. I could have probably got away with the 6000BTU unit but this building is a lofted barn style and has high ceilings so I really wanted the 8000. The install was easy with a great tutorial video on the website. The machine is much more quiet than I was expecting which is awesome. It works great, and does not need to run constantly even on the hottest days. Very happy with this purchase. Even comes with a remote!

In Vinyl Replacement Window
Installed in second story 18’ x 16’ room, 288 sq ft and of course heat rises. Unit installation was easy and came with plenty of insulating materials. Powerful fan and cools quickly. Not too loud and equipped with many features. This is an Energy Star rated unit and very cost effective/efficient. Later review will provide a cost of operating analysis. This was installed in a vinyl replacement window and required an additional 1 1/2” board the width of the window to sit the unit upon.

Loving this AC!
This air conditioner is great. I was worried admit at first and went back and forth on brand to buy. My LG went on me 1 year after buying so I didn’t want to get again, decided finally on trying this particular GE with smart WIFI. Was hard because there’s a few different models and reviews of others discouraging. As all have different opinions and experiences of course. Am very happy with my decision, the WIFI works perfectly, set up easy, installation very easy, did it all by myself and I’m a 58 year old woman, Love display, nice looking AC, And cooled my living room quickly and hall and kitchen too in apartment. (Was 80 degrees when turned on). Is now 68. And very quiet! No rumbling noise as others had or humming, no turning up tv to hear, it’s great. Never disappointed thank you.

Happy with my purchase
Honestly when I first set up the AC I right away wanted to return it BUT glad I didn’t. At first i was upset that the coolest it went was 64 degrees not 60 but I see now that it’s no big deal at all. When I first turned it on it took about 20 minutes to actually get it blowing very cold air now it’s very fast to cool when I turn it on. I alone installed it while my husband was at work, took me maybe 30 start to finish that’s with taking it out the box and setting it up. I did at first think it wasn’t as quite as my old AC but now that it’s been installed and running I don’t mind the sound at all I hardly notice it now. And the front panel with the buttons and temp number do light up but turn off after a couple minutes so it’s hard to know if it’s on or off when I have it on energy saving mode and it turn on and off automatically. But then again I don’t mind cause it’s in my room as it’s a light I don’t have to worry about because I do enjoy pitch black room at night so I’m completely fine with it. The AC does cool down my room in minutes! I enjoy that and I really like being able to turn it on and off using the app on my phone I’ve already turned it on while I was out running errands so when I got home my room was already nice and cool. So yes I did judge to soon but now I am happy with my purchase and it definitely gets the job done. I just hope it last me longer than a year but I will be buying warranty for it just in case because this is my first time buying GE AC. Another note my windows are horizontal and it fits and works fine I did just have to purchase the clear acrylic sheet to feel the space on my window.
