GE 6,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

Works great! We use it for camping in our van. My husband fabricated a window vent. We just plug it in, move it into an open area so that it has room to "vent" and it works great, cools down the whole van! Collected a good amount of water when we were camping in a highly humid environment. Needed to empty the reservoir twice a day, but that was the only time we've ever had to even empty it. To be fair, temps of almost 100 degrees Fahrenheit and very high humidity in August in South Carolina. Our van is black too so it really attracts the heat. We really like this unit. It works best when we keep the van AC running while setting up the floor AC unit. Once the floor unit is running we turn off the van AC. Then it functions perfectly since it doesn't have to struggle to reach a cooler temperature. No regrets, great unit!

I got this on sale for $240. I spent some of the savings on a 4 year warranty. I will probably end up having to use it because after 2 months this thing is already losing the ability to cool off my bedroom. It made it icy cold a month ago when it was 95 degrees every day and now it can hardly cool my room on a 75 degree day. So I'll almost definitely be using that warranty next summer. The plastic piece that goes in the window is absolute garbage. I had to spend $40 on extra insulation and duct tape to get it sealed and attached to my window and it's still come detached twice. The fan is incredibly loud. The compressor is constantly hissing and buzzing loudly and sounds like someone is dropping a brick on the floor when it shuts off. The thermostat is only a couple of steps above non functional. I had originally given this product a 3 star review but it's turned out to be one of the most expensive pieces of garbage that I'll hopefully ever buy. Not a single good quality other than it being able to cool off my bedroom for only about a month and a half. I'm really glad I got the warranty so that next year when I warranty it for being unable to cool a single bedroom I'll be able to get a better one that isn't a flaming trash heap. Do not buy this.

Easy installation & work’s great. Not really loud. Easy to use. It’s worth every penny..

I ordered this the $5, BTU it says that it can cool up to a room of 150 square feet. It keeps it moderately cool when the temperature is in the low '80s and then the '70s. But when it gets higher 80s and into the '90s it struggles and then it'll cut off and blow the power out. So I would have to go to the fuse box and cut it back on. All in all I like it but I can't give it a full good rating.

This unit is well worth the money. Well made GE brand, . Works great perfect size and will keep a nice size room chilly. Great price.. I would give it 5 stars. Just love it. Mc

I expected the air conditioner to be noisy, but not *that* noisy. I don't understand why there isn't a mode where it cools just a little bit without making an insane amount of noise. It’s impossible to sleep without earplugs. I’ve missed all the return deadlines and don’t know what to do now; I might try to place it on the floor below and figure out how to route the air ducts, but it’s unclear for the moment how to pull that off.

I'm a little baffled by all of the positive reviews. 1) the unit is very LOUD - more so than other brands I have. I bought this for my bedroom and it's challenging to sleep with the noise level. I'm used to AC units but this is a brand new one and it loudly rattles & buzzes on top of the standard compressor/exhaust noise. 2) the end of the exhaust hose has little notches that attach to the panel that you put in the window. The notches are so small and shallow, I routinely wake up in the middle of the night because it's noticeably hot - only to discover the exhaust house has once again slipped out of the tiny notches in the middle of the night and the hot exhaust has been filling my room. 3) the vent does not automatically move (have a "swing" feature) so I have to put an oscillating fan right next to it in order to circulate the cool air. Otherwise only the section of the room in front of the unit is cool and everywhere else is warm. Disappointed for sure, would not buy again. I wish I could return it.

The Good: This air conditioner blows nice cold air, and auto-evaporates moisture so it doesn't collect water (at least ours doesn't.) I'm in my sixties and had not too much problem carrying it upstairs, and I found it easier to install than a window A/C. The Bad: This thing appears to have a built-in Power Save (Or "Eco Mode") that they don't tell you about, and there's no way to disable it. What that means, is that it will sometimes shut off "fully" in the middle of the night (no fan noise.) If you are a light sleeper like me, this is bad, as I wake up instantly when this shuts down and it's suddenly dead silent. Around twenty minutes later it will turn back on. It's jarring. My wife sleeps right through it. Must be nice :) Note: If it's a really hot night, there's no problem, it just runs normally, but if it's a sorta-warm night, then the room gets cool enough that it decides to shut down completely. To solve this, I have started leaving the bedroom door open to let some warm air in. Outside of that, we really like this A/C.
