Waste of money

No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from GE Answers
Posted .We are sorry to hear your air conditioner isn't cooling well. We recommend making sure the filter is cleaned every 30 days and check your coils to ensure they are free of any dirt buildup. Consider the temperature of the room when the air conditioner was first turned on. If the room was very hot, it will take longer to cool the room. When heat is stored up in walls, furniture, rugs and draperies, it will take longer to cool the room down. Whenever possible, turn the Air Conditioner on before the room heats up. Make sure your windows are not open, allowing warm air back into the area that is being cooled. If you continue to have issues, please take advantage of your warranty and reach out to service to make a warranty claim. Thank you! Joyce@GEAppliances
Didn't Work
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this AC and had it about a week and a half. It was in a 130 sq ft bedroom, well within the capability of the 5000BTU. The AC was always 4°F higher than what the AC stated. 64 was 68, 66 was 70, etc. It would remove the humidity in the room while running during the day, but overnight it would not. Bizarre.
