QuestionIs this compatible with the GE app? It's unclear. It appears that the other model (APWA12YZBW) is compatible with the app.
Asked 5 years ago by joey.
- Answer Hi Joey - Thanks for viewing GE! Model APCA14YZBW is not a "smart" air conditioner, therefore it is not compatible with GE Appliances Comfort app. GE® Smart Portable Air Conditioner Model # APWA12YZBW is compatible with GE Appliances Comfort app. Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com! Sue

QuestionThe specs state the unit cools a space of 550 Sq. Ft. I use it in a room size of < 200 Sq. Ft. with the door closed to the hallway. I set the temp to 70 degrees; the unit ran non-stop for 6 hours w/o reaching the preset temp. Why?
Asked 4 years ago by bumijuje.
- Answer Hello- We appreciate your question and are happy to help! Keeping your doors closed is a great idea! You would think that bigger is better, but actually it isn't. ~It is critical that the capacity of a room air conditioner be the right size for the room being cooled. An improperly-sized air conditioner can result in a cold, clammy environment or an inadequately cooled room. The comfort level in a room is often more a factor of low humidity than low temperature. Portable air conditioners are most effective when used in small spaces or when used for supplemental cooling or heating (on Heat/Cool models) in large spaces. Depending on the temperatures outside it may never reach your preset temperature of 70 degrees. Your Portable AC removes heat and humidity from the room. We don't think there is an issue with your unit, it sounds like it is working as designed. We hope this helps! Joyce@GEA

QuestionI need a portable ac united that doesn't have to be vented out a window . What do you have?
Asked 4 years ago by zilly.
- Answer Hi - Thank you for your interest in a new GE portable air conditioner. All of our portable units have an exhaust hose that must be vented out a window in order to exhaust the heat generated by the air conditioner. We do not offer a model that can sit standalone in a room. All our best! Vikki@GEA

QuestionTwo questions: How long is the vent hose? Also, does the product pass the California Proposition 65 or are there harmful materials that can cause cancer?
Asked 5 years ago by sandiego.
- Answer Hi - Thanks for viewing GE Model APCA14YZBW! The unit is equipped with a 5' exhaust hose. Also, we comply with all federal, state and international requirements regarding hazardous substances and meet those standards. We also comply with federal and state chemical labeling laws, like California Proposition 65. The presence of a Proposition 65 warning does not necessarily mean the product is unsafe or poses a health risk. Over 800 chemicals are on this list, including wood dust, nickel (found in stainless steel), nicotine, and alcohol. Additionally, even inaccessible parts can cause the warning. We can understand your concern; however, we do not provide detailed information about what causes the Prop 65 warning to apply. For more information please refer to www.p65warnings.ca.gov - If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask, we are also happy to help at GEAppliances.com! Sue

QuestionIn order to make this AC installation work I'd have to use a longer vent hose. What is the maximum hose length permitted with this unit?
Asked 5 years ago by HD77.
- Answer What you have to know is that the longer the vent hose, the harder the ac will have to work because it gets hot. The smaller the vent hose the better it will work. Can you maybe direct the cold air with a fan or just add some kind of vent to the cold air to send it to where you want to go? Something like the picture that I add but of course it will have to be completely on top of the flow
