GE 5K BTU Mechanical Window Air Conditioner

Easy to setup, I have a decent sized room and it cools it down quick! The cold air even leaks out into the other rooms. It took me about 30 minutes max to set it up, for this price point it’s super reliable and does more than just the job. It’s not extremely heavy or big, fits most normal windows, and with past experience Frigidaire sell legit AC’s. Would buy if you need something reliable, longevity, and power.

We do not have central AC and so previously were relying on portable AC units. This went on sale recently so decided to just try this basic unit for a small room we had. The window is not large but this AC unit was able to fit. Cooling performance is significantly better than the portable AC unit. The prior 8000btu LG portable single-hose AC unit would struggle to take the temperature down from indoor 80-81 to 75-76. With the "temperature" between 5-7, I think the room gets down to 70-75 easily. Installation was easier than expected. It only weighs 35 lbs so I feel confident with the provided brackets that it will stay in place and won't mind taking it out in the winter. I do miss some smarter features like setting a timer, or a sleep mode to slowly let the temp rise while sleeping, but for the cost this was well worth it and I plan to just put it on a smart plug. It is not the quietest AC unit and I would say slightly quieter than the portable unit we had when directly in front of the unit. However with our bed not directly in front of the window, it's quieter around the sides since the compressor and fans are mostly outside. Great performance overall especially for the price! We are super happy with this.

Good unit for the price. Ac went out in house and have this in the kitchen window until the house unit gets recharged. Works good and cools good

I bought this as a return in like new condition and I don't believe that they check their returns because it was obviously returned because it doesn't work and now I'm going to return it because it doesn't work. And it was most certainly not in like new condition. The sides were damaged and outlet cord had damage. It kicks on and then immediately kicks off and it's very noisy. Do not buy returned air conditioners!!

i think this is overall a solid unit, but has a few things that would definitely turn me away from it in the future i just needed a temporary ac for the summer since it reaches the 100s where im at. i think as a short term/temporary ac this is great, even with its flaws pros: -[air temp] keeps small room cool (even really chilly at night depending on the weather outside), so long as i keep it at around 7 all day and night -[weight and size] small unit and pretty light (i don't have a lot of upper body strength and i could install it), -[noise] not overwhelmingly loud/white noise esque cons: -[energy efficiency] really messes with my lighting. for some reason even as its cooling down outside, the ac freaks out and has to keep kicking on. it causes my lights to flicker and gets a bit louder then. -[air temp] when its below 7 on the dial, it is just warmer air. im not really sure why, because this happens even when its cooler out (60s- 70s and no sun/at night) -[noise] it still is relatively noisy. slightly louder than a fan on high and has this weird gritty noise at times. im a heavy sleeper and don't have to be in the room a lot so its not a big bother for me, but definitely could for other situations -[sizing/panels] with the way my window is, i cannot use the slides because they don't stretch all the way, and i cannot nail it into the window anywhere tldr; probably great if you work all day or are a college kid in desperate need of an ac. not great in some realms but gets the job done

It works great price was low and it's freezing cold easy to use . We had three 5000 BTU units our house was still staying 80 something degrees so I ordered this GE air conditioner 5000 BTUs it dropped the temperature in my house 10°. I could not believe the difference now I'm able to walk around my home and feel comfortable I will buy another one to replace the other air conditioners that I have that are not GE from now on I'll be buying three more GE air conditioners just like this one everything about it made me want to give it five stars and the black around it,well it came with the entire installation kit but my windows are huge old windows so I had to add cardboard and some tape around it just to get it to fit correctly that was my fault not ge's fault so I did that and I'm going to tell you something even without the tape if you do your measurements right it will look beautiful in your window and it will work like a dream now I don't know how it would work by itself but I'm guessing if it were in a room by itself and it were the only air conditioner it would be very nice and comfortable in that room cuz it works perfect in my home it dropped my house 10 degrees like I said I have three other air conditioners but just this air conditioner by itself dropped my living room 10°. So now I'm walking around in my house at 70° temperature I am so happy with this product thank you ge and Amazon.

Nice and cold

Had this AC for about 23 days now and it’s been solid. I got it for a 150 to 200 square foot Airbnb guest bedroom and it’s been doing exactly what I needed. Guests keep saying how comfortable the room feels and a couple even mentioned they sleep better with the hum. It’s not loud, just a low steady sound that kinda helps you relax. It arrived right when the weather started getting hot, so it came in clutch. Set up was simple and it fit in the window just fine. Took maybe 20 to 30 minutes total. Once it’s running, it cools the space down quick and keeps it steady without freezing the room out. One of my favorite things is the analog controls. No digital buttons or fancy screens. Just old-school knobs that feel like they’ll last longer. The touch panel stuff on other units always seems to glitch after a while. This one feels like it’ll hold up. Noise-wise, it’s totally reasonable. Not too loud, not silent either. Just a nice background hum. Perfect for sleeping or just chilling in the room. So far it’s done the job really well and kept guests happy, which is what matters most to me. If anything changes I’ll come back and update, but for now, I’m happy with it.
