GE - 450 Sq. Ft. Smart Portable Air Conditioner - White

Purchased the GE Smart Portable AC unit just as a heat wave hit us here in California. After 4 nights of no ac, went online bought the unit, and picked it up curbside an hour later. Easy to setup, works well with app. Highly recommend this unit. I will be purchasing another one for my office.

Good looking unit. Quiet, cools well. It does not seem to be quite as good as the 10K window unit it replaced. But that old one leaked water all over my carpet. Easy to install however my window size forced me to cut one of the panels. Other then that, no complaints.

This AC works perfectly for my small apartment! Definitely keeps the place cool. However, the attachments that go into my window do not fit as well as expected. Installation was rather difficult because the tube must be put in the center of my vertical window which makes it tight and the tubes wants to pull off of the window slat. This also only came with one screw.

Removed a star for couple of reasons: 1. the exhaust tube is very flimsy and thin and is pretty short. Two window inserts supplied with the unit go one ot top of the tube, one on the bottom. You can't change that configuration. This makes the exhaust position pretty high on the window. Along with short tube, unit is stuck at the wall, cant move a little forward. 2 wifi connection took 5-6 tries to connect. 3. Cant adjust horizontal direction of the air coming out. ( Rotating the unit doesnt help much, see short tube above) From pros, its pretty powerful for a small room and pretty quiet.

Only reason giving 3 stars. First year worked great. 2nd year seems less. Starup this season. Nothing. Not even 2 years old. Not cooling. No blockages, clean filters. Disappointed

Ultimately this is a very good product. I intentionally purchased this unit because of the WiFi capability. I like my room cooled as I'm on my way home, so I like being able to remotely activate the unit so I'm walking into a cool room. This portable unit is great for vertical sliding windows. However, for vertical sliding windows, this could potentially get a little tricky. My only issue with this unit is with the window bracket. Unfortunately, the extension pieces that are supplied in the box, are attached to the main exhaust outlet panel on either side. What this means is that for horizontal sliding windows, your exhaust hose is stretched to it's maximum capacity because the hose has to reach to the middle of your window. This does not leave much room for moving the unit around on it's wheels when attempting to clean. Another issue is attaching the exhaust hose to the main unit. Unfortunately this hose does not secure tightly into the main unit. It is rather flimsy and will slip out of the unit if the base is moved around or if there is any movement to the hose. As far as the cooling capabilities, I'm pleasantly surprised with how well this unit functions. I really like the swing feature where the air conditioner will move the cool air around as it is exiting the unit.

My new kitchen appliance are GE products so I did not hesitate to buy this product when bought as Deal of the Day! Product as described cools the room quickly. Installation is a breeze. Touch screen to choose the mode and temperature. You can download the app to operate the portable air conditioner remotely. When you reach the set temperature, fan will take over and will switch back to the air conditioner will a louder noise. One cool feature if you turn off the air conditioning, the unit will close automatically that will keep the warm air out to your room. Overall, I'm happy with the air conditioning and hopefully GE will make it a little quiet.

This was my first portable ac, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Set up was challenging (again, maybe it was just my lack of experience?) and the hose was rather short. Other than that, works well! I have a large bedroom and it cools the entire room within minutes.
