Great ACPerfect for a room and cools really good. Cheaper at Walmart than other places. I already had one and Walmart was $20 cheaper than what I paid for the other one. I live in a mobile home so sometimes the big AC needs help. Doesn’t seem to make much difference in electric bill. Easy to install.

No complaints with unit, but shipper was clusy.This is a nice little window unit I placed in my shop. Unfortunately, it sustained damage during shipping. A corner of the box had torn and had been taped up. The unit itself had a bent corner. Fortunately it did not affect its function. It cools quite nicely.

You won’t be disappointed. Get the GEGreat smaller unit. Cools a much bigger area then stated. Easy setup, easy to operate. So glad that I went with the GE. I am 68 years old and I installed it by myself. My windows are so narrow that I couldn’t use the sides, so had to do some modifying. I cut and used the corner cardboards from the packing and taped just the accordion pieces into place. No hot air is getting in. I have a 15′ hallway that I put a fan in to help pull the cool air to the back of my apartment. So right now she is cooling a 180 sq ‘ livingroom, an 80 sq’ kitchen and a 150 sq’ bedroom and also a very long hall. It’s been really humid besides temps in the 80’s and 90’s so I did remove the little plug for water drainage.

Even in a 240sq ft room…My store actually had these in stock so I purchased from there and the unit has been running 2 days. Here is why I am giving this 5 stars at this point.
First off, I have a 2400sq ft home with the ducts in the floors. For some reason, the master bedroom in the last week or so has been blowing air at 76-78 degrees from the vents….while the rest of the vents in the house are blowing 68 degrees. I figure something major has happened and for need need a temporary solution.
The master bedroom is 16ft X 15ft(240sw ft) not counting the bathroom and walk-in closet. My problem was, my 2 windows are these tiny 18in wide windows. I was trying to find a 6,000 BTU because that is recommended for the size room. However, all the 6,000 units were actually 18in to 20in alone without the “wings”..So I had to settle for this 5,000 BTU which covers 150 sq ft.
The unit fit fine after I had to trim a few inches off the wings (with wings it made everything 23in wide). The installation was actually 10 minutes until I had to trim.
After about 20 minutes of running on full fan speed and max cool, The room went from 78 degrees to 74 degrees…and later on to 71 degrees. It was 99 degrees outside with 80% humidity. So far, this unit has been able to hold this room steady at 72 degrees even at a slightly cooler setting. I am happy with this considering it isn’t what I intended to get. The unit itself at the vent on the coldest setting was blowing 61-62 degrees.
The PROs:
Price of $136
It runs pretty quiet – quieter than most floor fans.
Easy installation.
Cools beyond the stated capacity.
The CONS:
Fan Speeds. Low and High barely different. Not very strong.
Some small “gaps” where the wings connect to the unit (not a result of trimming). Even with the flimsy foam seals provided there is a good pencil-sized (diameter) gap that could allow about any bug or spider in. I had to use clear caulking to fill these little holes you could see through.
All-in-all it has performed within tolerable levels considering it was my only cost-worthy option. In a smaller room it should have no problems getting it icy-cold.

Tiny and PowerfulFirst let me start by saying i dont normally wrote reviews so you know this is going to be a good one! At first i thought theres no way to find a ac unit thats small enought to fit into my teeny tiny finished attic windows… i was wrong. Second, i thought even if i find a compact unit its not going to be powerful enough to cool it off … i was wrong again! This unit fit perfectly into my window and cooled off the entire loft. I did take a sheet and septerate the space at first. One side my son plays on and on the other is a spare bedroom. The sheet is definitely optional my only benefit is I’m able to keep the unit on low instead of high. If youre looking but not sure, look no further. If i wasnt disappointed you wont be either, im very critical with products. Also little tip make sure you measure where the screen holders are. I did have to take out the entire set up for the screens for that extra 1/2 of an inch.

Love itIt does what it is supposed to. I would put this in a single.room and expect it to only cool that room. It is a small unit! I put it in my livingroom and the air doesn’t reach to other rooms. But it did say that it was for small rooms! I actually really.like it though. For 140 it was a great buy and will be buying at least 2 more! It also comes with the supplies to fit into the window!

Great price, easy installation, works perfect!!Bought in store for 132.00 and installed in under 30 minutes. the room we have it in is less than 150sqft so within 15 minutes it was ice cold. very quiet for a window unit. perfect for what we needed. bought the extended warranty just in case anything happens. No complaints and I think it’s super cute cause it’s so small! lol.

Great (with a fix)Works great but had to drill a drain hole for the unit. The fan was making noise like it was hitting something, saw the water level was too high once it reached the side drain hole. A quick and careful 3/8″ hole right below the side drain and now it’s quiet.

no cold airIt blows hard but not cool enough air. It is made all of plastic in the front not metal. It is lightweight and may be good for a small bedroom nothing bigger. I got rid of it a week after purchase because it was not cooling the room. It is really small in size. lightweight. easy to install. instructions and box were in a different language than English.
