- Key Specs
- Recommended Room Size: 350 square feet (The recommended area size in which the product is designed to operate and produce optimal results, such as the desired heating or cooling. Generally, running a unit too big or too small for the space will result in ineffective operation and wasted energy.)
- DOE SACC Cooling Power: 8100 british thermal units (The Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC), implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE) after 2017, is a rating of a portable AC unit's cooling power. This rating is based on revised testing that more accurately measures a portable unit's performance, taking into account that these units do not vent heat in the same way as wall or window units and therefore were not cooling as effectively as the previous BTU ratings indicated (based on the ASHRAE-128 standard prior to 2017). Generally, the new cooling power ratings are lower than previous BTU ratings and can more reasonably be compared to the cooling capacities of other types of AC units.)
- ASHRAE Cooling Power: 12000 british thermal units (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) rates the cooling power, or capacity, of portable AC units based on their effectiveness in cooling a single room as intended. Prior to 2017, this was the accepted standard used for comparison with other types of AC units. However, it did not accurately reflect the cooling power as it did not account for the heat emitted from the unit that would circulate back into the space. The Department of Energy (DOE) Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC) standard is now used to determine appropriate BTU ratings of portable AC units.)

- Remote Control: true
- Integrated Heater: false
- Sleep Mode: true (Enabling this mode sets the unit to first reach the desired temperature, then gradually increase the temperature over a period of time until it reaches a new set temperature, typically several degrees higher than the initial cool setting. This mode helps save energy while keeping the room comfortable.)
- Timer: true
- Auto Shut-Off: true (Feature automatically turns off the product.)

- Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio (CEER): 7.3 (The standard used to measure energy efficiency in window and room air conditioners by the Department of Energy (DOE) as of June of 2014. CEER measures the ratio of output BTUs (British Thermal Units) to input electrical energy (watts) in standby mode and while the unit is operating. Generally, the higher the number, the more efficient the unit. Though higher efficiency units are typically more expensive upfront, they may offset the price in energy costs over time.)

Avoid if possible!
Bought the unit, 3 months into usage and all of a sudden all types of problems arise. 1) Loud, it’s as if something inside is broken, just like a bad belt on a car with the squeaking. 2) The constant water pool on my carpet, not even an hour AFTER EMPTYING the unit. 3) Spits water through the top fan that blows the cold air! Best part. GE can only offer a mail in voucher to refund the purchase of a second exact same unit, they don’t refund your first unit even if its under warranty! Incredible!

Don’t waste your time or money
I am so incredibly disappointed in this unit. I had to drain the water from it multiple times in the first 24 hours, and one of those times it leaked all over my floor before I noticed. It is very loud, roughly 10db louder than what it claims, it rumbles so strongly my floors shake, and the fan squeals intermittently for extended periods of time in a variety of mind-numbing tones. It performed very poorly cooling my 100 sq ft bedroom. 100 sq ft! I will be returning it ASAP and just ordering something online thats actually worth the $550 dollars I spent on this piece of junk.
