Noisy and vibrations
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.cools the small room fine, but it makes a fairly high pitch noise when it's cooling, and the way it operates sends vibrations out of the machine. For comparison, I have a 5 year old unit that is whisper silent and 0 vibrations in the other room, so pretty terrible that something that was designed 5 years later is such a step down. I'd rather pay an extra $100 for something that is useful. It is so noisy and vibration-y that can't even run it while I'm trying to sleep.

Posted .To ensure your air conditioner is cooling efficiently, please ensure that indoor air flow is not restricted, the temperature control is set correctly, the air filter is clean, that no cold air is escaping, and that the coils have not iced up. If none of these tip's help, please send us a private message on Facebook or Instagram with your full model and serial numbers, contact information, and a screenshot of this review. We'd like to review thoroughly. -Kacie@GEAppliances
A/C
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The a/c was not cooling my 400 sq ft space enough. I had to return it.

Posted .An undersized unit (a lower BTU unit than a room requires) results in the compressor staying on most of the time and the unit not adequately lowering the humidity level and temperature in the room. For a 400 sq ft room, we recommend that you purchase a 9,000-10,000 BTU model.
Meh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Idk how this got so many great reveiws. But after 2 full days of being on, house sealed up at mid 80s weather and my space is still 75. It's cool(er) but not exactly what I was hoping for.

Posted .We appreciate the feedback. If the room was very hot, it would take longer to cool the room due to heat that is stored in the walls, furniture, rugs and draperies. Whenever possible, turn the air conditioner on before the room heats up. We also recommend reviewing an online Support article we offer titled: "Air Conditioner - Sizing Guidelines". If you continue to have concerns, please review the warranty statement on Page 17 of the online Owner's Manual. Click on the Features tab and scroll to the bottom of the features list to locate the manual. -Vikki@GEAppliances

No, I would not recommend this to a friendGE Window AC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cord is too short. GE said there are no serviceable parts if the unit fails during their warranty period and they do not reimburse if you paid for installation; only a credit of an unknown amount is given if the AC fails. The filter can only be removed from the left side vs the front so you need enough clearance to do that.

Damaged Product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It came damanged. Unfortunately, it turns on and fan works, but does not cool.

Do not buy, they don't make spare parts for it
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing worked great, except the filter is flimsy and breaks easily when being replaced. Less than a year after I purchased it, the filter can't be changed due to the damage, and I asked LG what the replacement part model was. They told me it's no longer made, and that I should buy a new air conditioner. Don't buy LG is the lesson
