Excellent deal on the perfect size A/C for my bedroom. I replaced my old 5k btu one for this 6k btu one and it works so much better. It’s even energy efficient which bodes well for my wallet. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Very highly recommend!

Actual dimensions I measured.

Actual height dimensions if fitting inside a fixed window opening were different. I measured just over 13” height because the bottom frame feet extend down about 1/2” below the rest of the front frame; and it sits flat this way so rear is about the same height. If adding top rail, then about 14.25”. Minimum width for using accordion frame if desired is about 21.25”. It extends about 10” from the top rail (or feet) to the rear of the unit. The top rail is about 2” from the front and filter pulls from the left side near the very front. Top rail front portion is higher than accordion frame. Wasn’t able to install in my location and can’t comment on performance. Giving 3 stars due to installation instructions not giving precise measurements thus wasting time.

This unit is perfect for its intended use. I bought it, in case of a power outage and it is wired to an emergency generator. Unexpectedly, I had a problem with my main air conditioner and it came in handy, while the main one was being serviced.

Okay so I had this ac since late August and I installed it in September. Here we are in late January and it will not cut on. And honestly I think I ran it 2 times because I don’t really be in the room it’s in.

I recently bought this 6000 BTU a/c to replace a 5000 BTU unit that finally died. After a good bit of research I settled for the GE mainly due to reputation and good reviews. Once I had picked up the A/C from my local Best Buys, I headed home and unpacked it to get ready and install it asap because I use it in our bedroom to help me sleep. Once I got it unpacked I noticed that it was smaller and lighter than the older 5K unit. Installation was as easy as any other window unit, no real surprise there. Once I was ready I turned the unit on and once the compressor kicked in after a few seconds it began cooling very cold air (very impressed). I changed the fan speeds up/down and didn't hear a big difference if noise and not alot of difference in airflow, but it does blow adequately. It keep our room cool all night and the noise was just enough to drown out noise which helps me sleep better too.
I do have a few grips and had I know this I might have went with a different one. 1st off the remote shown on the website was a big reason I liked this unit due to the temp display shown on the remote, guess what's not on the included remote, just a basic remote. 2nd the unit defaults to the eco mode for the cooling mode so every time I want to use it the way I want I have to change this. 3rd this is the vents allow you to direct the airflow left or right, but not up/down...really.
So on the pro's side I guess is: 1st it's pretty quiet as advertised. 2nd it's smaller and lighter than the old unit and 3rd it cools better too. I hope it holds up as long as the unit it's replacing.

Really great cooler for a small/medium bedroom

My room is the hotest room in the whole house, because I have my computer and my TV running at the same time. This Window air conditioner can COOL DOWN my room with no issues, It is easy to install and easy to use. It packs great performance. The only reason why Im giving it 4 starts instead of 5 its because I wish it came with a little better insulation parts. The curtain panels seem a little flimsy and not that great for insulation. I'll see how they perform in the worst heat of the summer.
Also some of the fins in the back part of it came bended. but being that it just a few here and there. I know it shouldn't affect performance.
But really great product overrall. Performance 5/5 stars

Our central AC gave out during the hottest days of the summer. To survive, we put thid unit in our bedroom window and it has done a great job keeping the room nice and cool. Easy to install, controls are easy to understand, and the remote control is very convenient.

This ac is absolutely perfect for a small to mid sized room. It’s easy to install and the cooling is much more than I expected. It gets cold!! I don’t mind ac noise, so I can’t comment on that. I don’t think it’s any louder than any other ac I’ve had. Recommended highly!

This AC unit is just right for me. I had an upstairs bedroom that needed cooling for guests. It cools comfortably, is rather quiet, and was light enough for me to install easily. This unit was perfect for the price

I purchased this unit to use in our bedroom, but we were unable to do so because once we got it home, we realized that we didn't have the correct kind of outlet in that room to plug it into. We did try it in our kitchen window and it worked well to cool both that room and the adjoining living and dining room, but wasn't quite powerful enough to make enough difference in the two bedrooms, so we ended up returning it and finding one with more btu's that was able to cool all four rooms. But as I said, it worked well to cool a space the size it was intended for. Wish it would have worked out for us to use it in our bedroom. Easy to install and use.
