    Bought the unit, 3 months into usage and all of a sudden all types of problems arise. 1) Loud, it’s as if something inside is broken, just like a bad belt on a car with the squeaking. 2) The constant water pool on my carpet, not even an hour AFTER EMPTYING the unit. 3) Spits water through the top fan that blows the cold air! Best part. GE can only offer a mail in voucher to refund the purchase of a second exact same unit, they don’t refund your first unit even if its under warranty! Incredible!

    very noisy. damaged my wood floor with rubber goop leaking out the bottom. cools ineffectively. ended up leaking when the unit got moved. it's very poorly made and designed. GE bought Haier appliances, and they were not a first-rate brand when I bought the product, I had no idea that it was Haier. ended up returning it to best buy because the product was such a poor design and the noise and the rubber coming off was unacceptable.

    I bought the product in the evening and returned it in the morning when the store opened. It made so much noise that I couldn't hear my own thoughts. It's the only product I've ever bought and regretted.

    We did not find this product to be sufficient for our needs. It was very large and clunky. Additionally, connections, etc., were challenging.

    Don't waste your money

    I am really shocked by the failure of this unit, after working for two nights in the bedrooms and for the duration of sleep, to show strange sounds, bad smell, poor cooling efficiency, vibrations in the cooling fan that you can easily notice, in addition to the frequent pooling of water inside it and the need to empty it continuously. I'm gonna pick it up. It's a piece of junk.

      For best performance place the air conditioner 20” from the exterior wall and maintain a minimum distance of 30” on all other sides. If you continue to have difficulties, please call 1-866-907-1655 to discuss your options. -Vikki@GEAppliances GE_Appliances
