    Runs good, would have given it 5 stars except it doesnt seem to want to drain water well when sloped properly. Drilled a small hole at what appears to be the low point.

    Air conditioner quit after a month. Best Buy won’t take it back. GE won’t talk to you if it’s less than a month old. Buyer beware.

    Stupid expensive, poor quality accessories and app

    The screws were very difficult to screw into the AC unit. The side curtains are not very long and like to come apart too easily. The app refuses to connect on my iphone to the AC. The GE app also requires you to sign up and provide a metric-ton of personal information and confirm the account before even using it. Pretty upset but for the BTUs I couldn't find a much better "deal"

    This purchase was a much needed upgrade for our window unit that was about a decade old. A lot has changed in a decade. My favorite thing about this unit is that it’s a smart unit and I can connect it with my Amazon Echo in my house. Works great. Pretty quiet. Love that it’s got an eco feature.

      Hi there, and thank you for taking the time to reach out to us. We truly hate to hear you've experienced an issue with your air conditioner making unexpectedly loud noises; we know how much of a concern that may have been and would like to help. This unit has an expected sound level of 62 to 67 dBAs, which is a bit above the level of moderate rainfall. We strive to provide as quiet a cooling experience as possible, and regret the sound level was too high for you. We will certainly send your feedback to our Air Conditioner Design team for future review. Regarding returning the product, details on your warranty are available on page 17 of your manual, if you think you may need to take advantage of that. Our service department is also available at 1-800-432-2737. We will certainly be working to earn back your faith in our brand going forward. If you have any other concerns or questions, we're always glad to assist. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA GE_Appliances

    The unit works fine so far. It is a replacement for the same exact unit which lasted 3 months of operation. GE said they would replace it at no charge, but I have not received my money yet. Best Buy had to be paid upfront. The replacement arrived DENTED because Best Buy did not wrap the outside of the shipping box designed for retail pickup.

    Before anyone goes crazy saying I don’t have it plugged in or I blew a fuse. The plug is reset with a green light and the unit is completely unresponsive with the buttons and the remote. I now have to uninstall it to drag it back to a Best Buy that is only open till 6pm. Thanks GE!!!

      Hi there, we're terribly sorry to hear you've had an error code appear on your air conditioner. We can imagine how disappointing this has been for you and we're happy to help. We suggest looking at page 17 of your owner's manual to determine what you should do based on the age of your air conditioner. We hope that's useful information and we're wishing you the best. - Guy@GEA GE_Appliances
