    We installed this on our garage window to try to cool the garage. The results were not very good.

      Hello geodepe - We are sorry to hear the air conditioner did not cool your space effectively. The unit will work best in a room that is properly insulated and sealed. Please reach out at 1-800-626-2000 for tips on how to best use the air conditioner. - JB GE_Appliances

    After two summers of use, the compressor barely ever stays on. I might get 5 minutes of cool air before getting 10-15 minutes of hot air from outside. I tried cleaning the unit and plugging it into different outlets to no avail. The unit has also been extremely noisy ever since I got it, it's borderline unusable in a bedroom. Shame on me for taking a chance with this brand, I guess.

    I ordered a 12,000 btu a/c unit to cool one 10 x 20ft room. It won’t even do that. It’s junk and I plan on returning it very soon. Don’t buy GE. Also the WiFi didn’t work either.

    AC was great until a rainstorm-induced power surge shot it a month after the manufacturer warranty expired. Cost almost the same amount of money for parts and labor than purchasing a new unit.
