It's not really robust and after about a year of use it breaks. Wondering if it's just not a good brand.

Waste of money

Where do I start. This unit has been nothing but trouble since day one. It turns off every 15 minutes because it says the internal tank is full, so i put a hose to a bucket to drain the water, it fills an entire bucket in less than 4 hours, so if you have to go to work or any engagement that will be longer then you need to turn it off before you leave the house. When it does decide to work, the coils freeze up immediately and it stops blowing cold air. Also if i put it on any setting above low it blows the circuit, and based on the information given, the circuit it is on should be more than powerful enough to support it. I thought buying GE instead of a no name brand would mean i got a item of at least reasonable quality, boy was i wrong!

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. If your portable air conditioner is filling up this often and tripping the breaker, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of your one-year warranty. Your warranty is for one-year from your purchase date and covers the unit if it fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship. We will replace, repair, or refund the unit due to this for that year period. You can take advantage of this by calling 866-907-1655. Please have your receipt and model and serial numbers ready. -Kacie@GEAppliances

Worst instructions EVER! Not only were the instructions unclear but the images did not correspond to the parts and screws were missing. As an aside, it takes up way more space than you might imagine.

Would not recommend. Gets the job done but it seems that I got a used product sold as “new” or the quality assurance standards of GE are not what they used to be.

Bought in June and had already stopped working by middle of July. Bestbuy only has a 15 day exchange/return policy so I'm out almost $700 on a defective product. Last time I'm buying GE and will never shop bestbuy again.

We are sorry to hear that your AC unit started freezing after such a short time but are glad to hear it was resolved through your protection plan. We hope your replacement is working out much better this time around.

This unit costs twice what everyone elses does and does nothing extraordinary bad call on my part also not that its huge but the unit i purchased on line.was more BTU than the one i was given not that big a deal only 400 BTU difference but still false this thing cuts in and out at times and honestly doesnt get the job done so i had to buy another to pick up the slack
