Nice and cool steady white noise to sleep to easy set up. Like the remore and the eco setting. Easy to clean the filter. GE is a nice product

Great ac! We had an older one and this one cooling a fairly large house and if we turned the older ac off, this one still kept the whole house quite cool.

Does a terrific job cooling and isn't very loud. Agree that the auto cool feature isn't the most reliable.

My daughter‘s room is in the attic, no vents very hot in the summer. She had an air conditioner before, but it did not cool the room down enough so we decided to buy an air conditioner with higher BTU. I was deciding between this the Madea and the Frododaire I decided to go with GE is it because of their reputation it is very good at calling the room and doing what it needs to do, however, I was disappointed about the fact that it is rather loud. I cannot hear it on the first level floor, which is great because the last air conditioner you could hear and it really bothered me and my husband to sleep, but you can still hear it. Just not as loud loudly. Also, I try to sleep in her room with her one night and I could not sleep because it was too loud for me but then again I am a light sleeper therefore if you want something cheap and don’t mind the noise I would recommend this. Otherwise I would research more about the noise quality because I feel like I should’ve went with probably the Madea, which I heard was a really good producor the Frigidaire

We’re pleased to know your new air conditioner is effectively cooling the attic space, especially given the challenge of no vents in the room. While some operational noise is normal, you may be able to reduce it by ensuring the front grille and movable louvers are intact and aligned, cleaning the air filter, and confirming the unit is installed securely to minimize vibration. For step-by-step guidance, our GE Appliances website offers an article titled “Air Conditioners Rattling Noise” that provides detailed troubleshooting tips that will help. Lauren@GEAppliances

Perfect Unit for 600sq ft

Perfect for 600sq ft and then some.
I have a 600sq ft living room with a small hallway that leads outside. Using the ac alongside a fan to help rotate the air cools extremely well and even carries the cold air into the extra space. Upgraded from a 8000 btu unit that struggled to cool half the room when going past 90. The 12000 btu unit eqsily cools the room at upwards of 100 degrees.
the 12000 btu unit is a much hungier machine but that is to unferstood when going up to 150% more power.
I really like the WiFi capabilities. I initially thought, "how silly. does everythinf need a wifi connection and account now?" the app is decent and does NOT require an account. though it asks for one often enough. I also dont update it most of the time but it still works. The included remote works expectedly but the app is so much more versatile. Simply pulling up my phone and turning it on without worrying about where i am, where the remote is and what might be on my way. Instead of fidling with sleep timers and other bits going on the app and setting a routine is easy and works without issue. I want it to turn off at 12 am every night? I no longer have to get up, activate a sleep timer and do math to get the right time. I have it set up as a daily routine and never worry. want it later, earlier or stopped altogether? easy fix.

Bought this for my daughter's apartment. Easily cools the place and has an app you can use in addition to the remote.
