Great Air Conditioner. Works as advertised. WiFi is very convenient.

When I got there they showed me where to go bc I ordered online and picked up in store, then they got me squared away quickly and the guy had it loaded up in no time. Everybody was wonder.

I bought this to replace a portable air conditioner. This works so much better and is quiter.

Excellent air conditioner my room is very cold I sleep very good.

Great air conditioner. Cold when on low. Cools our entire upstairs.

Exactly what we needed; easy to put in and effective for our space.

The “GE - 350 Sq. Ft. 8,000 BTU Smart Window Air Conditioner - White” is a small AC unit designed to cool a room of up to 350 square feet. It is well-built and looks nice, and you don’t need a crane to lift it to your window. Setup is pretty straightforward. There is rail that mounts to the top of the unit, and this goes against the bottom of the window, to prevent the unit from falling out. On the bottom, there are two brackets (one on each side) that attach to the unit and can be screwed into the window sill. There is also a metal bracket that can be screwed in place to prevent the window from accidentally being raised. Lastly, there are accordian-style baffles on each side of the unit, and these can be screwed into the window frame at the top, and secured with a screw into the window sill at the bottom. Did you notice my repeated mentions of screws? It's necessary to attach these things to the window and frame in order to secure the unit. None of these will keep the unit from falling out if the window is raised and is no longer supporting the top rail, but it should hold the unit in place long enough for you to grab it. However, if putting screws into your window and sill bothers you, then take that into consideration. This is a common setup, but it works well to secure the unit and block up holes that could provide an entry way for insects. GE also includes some weather stripping and foam to help you seal up the unit as much as possible. I only really had one complaint with the installation process. The screws that attach the side brackets to the unit are just short screws that exist only for this purpose. So, you’d think it should be trivial to loosen them and attach the brackets, right? On one side, that was true, but the other wouldn’t come loose no matter what I tried. Using a normal hand screwdriver was starting to affect the metal of the screw, so I switched to an impact driver in hopes that the extra torque might do the trick without stripping the screw head. Nope, it stripped all the way! Now I had to ream out the screw and finally ended up removing it by pinching and turning with a pair of wire cutters. None of this should have been necessary! The screw should not have been that tight. Once I was past that, I was ready to try it out. This unit includes a remote control, which is a nice touch. It allows you to change the settings from your seat, and even includes Braille embossing for each button--a nice touch! Like so many other appliances these days, this one is an Internet of Things (IoT) device, meaning that it can join your wifi network and be controlled from an app. To do this, download the GE Appliances app from the App Store. The app is actually called Comfort - GE Appliances, but the documentation doesn’t mention that. Setting up the AC unit within the app is fairly easy. I’ve seen complaints on the internet about previous versions, but I thought this app was pretty good. It uses location services, and you can set it to turn on the AC when you’re in the neighborhood! I didn’t try that function, but I can see how it might come in handy. One thing to watch out for: the instructions tell you to push the wifi button until the light flashes. Seems easy, except that there are no visible “buttons”. There is a printed label that says “wifi” right next to a small LED light, but no button. On a hunch, I pushed the “wifi” label, and, sure enough, it’s one of those membrane buttons that is hidden behind the veneer of the front panel. That does look better, but the instructions need to call that out. I can see how that could be confusing. After a couple of tries, the unit finally found my wifi network Interestingly, it did not ask me for a password to join my network. I assume that it used the password from my phone, but that was a bit disconcerting. Once connected, using the app is very easy to use. From the app, you can turn on/off the unit, set the temperature, and choose the fan mode (cool/fan only /economy). You can also set up a schedule to control the unit according to your preferences. I set up a schedule easily enough, but the unit did not come on when it’s supposed to, so I guess I’ll need to investigate that a little more. The app indicated that everything was ready to go, and no errors were shown, so I think it should have worked. What about cooling? This is the reason you buy an air conditioner, and this one does that job well. It puts out a strong stream of cold air, and is quiet while doing so. I was impressed with how quiet and smooth it is while running. It’s not a large unit, so it’s not going to cool a huge space. In the right sized room, I think this will be just what you need. This GE air conditioner provides comfort in the heat for a reasonable price. I think if I can get the scheduler to work, this would be a near-perfect air conditioner.

A real smart air conditioner, very easy to connect and good app. The unit performing as expected, worth the price.
