For the price it’s pretty good. I do wish it came with the insulation like the slightly larger 6k version I purchased. I also wish it had a eco mode however again I’m sure that would raise the cost significantly. Works well so far. The real test will be long term performance and reliability.

Stopped working after 3 years. Just hot air, started not to cool down much after 2 years. Don't think any warranty left on it, most are 1 year. Compressor does not seem to kick on anymore. This was used 3 months a year. I will still buy another since I have a small window, this fits. When first purchased, did not work, there was a chunk of styro foam pressed against the fan blade on the inside casing, and had to pull it back out and take it apart after i installed it to remove this foam.

Purchased to replace an older GE 5,000BTU unit. The entire unit is cheaply made and does NOT easily fit smaller window openings due to the design of the sliding window mounts. The plastic overuse causes constant vibration noises and unit fails to put out the cool of my earlier, 15 year old model, The entire appearance, construction and look reeks of poor quality.

I like the air conditioner. We have replacement windows and could not find an air conditioner that would fit. This one did the job. the only complaint i have is that the control knobs are extremely hard to turn. I and my husband are seniors and have both had jobs that required using our hands for years and have arthritis, making it hard for us to adjust the cooling.

This is my 2nd GE 5,000 BTU but this unit is so much louder. It sounds like the fan is slapping a balloon; even when it turns off, the fan slows down and sounds like it is slapping a balloon slowly until it fully stops. It is great for cooling a small area and no issue for that functionality but the noise causes me to give it a thumbs down.

We got this for our master bedroom while waiting to get our (very old) central AC replaced. It runs ice cold even in 90 degree weather, helps keep humidity down, and even cools down the hall if the door is left open so it's small yet mighty. I haven't compared utility bills yet, but I'm sure it will be lower since we only run that one at night and a separate one in the great room when in there plus they are much newer than our very old HVAC system. If it's crazy higher or the same I will change my review. Install seemed easy, I did not install it myself but it only took him less than 30 minutes so I don't think it was bad. It's not too loud, quieter than the bigger one in the main part of our house, but it does make sound louder than an air handler. It's nice though, like a white noise machine. It is a turn dial and not digital, it doesn't have the feature to shut off like our other unit but it's perfect for running at night. I've found on other electronics that the analog(turn features) are better/longer lasting than digital like on washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, microwaves and radios. I haven't had this window unit that long yet, but it's functionality will probably last longer just like other small appliances do.

I was not going to buy another GE air conditioner, at the last one failed after 2 years. This GE air conditioner was one of the lowest price devices at my store and suits my needs. Except for the rattle it make coming from the front grill it makes plenty of cold air. I have a 1800 square feet house and I use two 5000 btu units to keep the whole house cool. With exception for the hottest of days where we turn on a third air conditioner the two units keep us comfortable.

This is my 2nd GE 5,000 BTU AC. The first one has been used for 5 years and still works like new. This one, however, sounds like a fan is slapping a balloon and can't be used at night if you're a light sleeper. It cools good, like its counterpart, but the fan is just too loud. I don't think the quality is as good as the older one I own. Even when I turn it off, the fan slows down and slaps a balloon before coming to a stop. Disappointed in this one.

Bought 2 of this unit but so far only need to use 1 to cool kitchen/dining/living area used together with a floor fan. Unit spits water out the front so I had to remove the plug to let it drip outside. Many open cracks big enough for bugs show around where the unit meets the window on all 4 sides so I taped over these. The unit case began rusting immediately from exposure to the outdoors and continues rusting more and more. A competitor model by Haier that I bought some years ago never spit water, never rusted, still works and also leaves cracks for bugs but at 5000 BTU does not seem to put out quite as much cool air. Maybe the fan is not as powerful.

Works really well for small rooms. At some point during the day I would find myself turning the unit off. For being under 14” this window unit dose work well. I bought 2 for the summer. They are very efficient. I was concern with my electric bill being higher than normal. But it was pretty consistent.
