Excellent deal on the perfect size A/C for my bedroom. I replaced my old 5k btu one for this 6k btu one and it works so much better. It’s even energy efficient which bodes well for my wallet. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Very highly recommend!

Actual dimensions I measured.

Actual height dimensions if fitting inside a fixed window opening were different. I measured just over 13” height because the bottom frame feet extend down about 1/2” below the rest of the front frame; and it sits flat this way so rear is about the same height. If adding top rail, then about 14.25”. Minimum width for using accordion frame if desired is about 21.25”. It extends about 10” from the top rail (or feet) to the rear of the unit. The top rail is about 2” from the front and filter pulls from the left side near the very front. Top rail front portion is higher than accordion frame. Wasn’t able to install in my location and can’t comment on performance. Giving 3 stars due to installation instructions not giving precise measurements thus wasting time.

This unit is perfect for its intended use. I bought it, in case of a power outage and it is wired to an emergency generator. Unexpectedly, I had a problem with my main air conditioner and it came in handy, while the main one was being serviced.

Okay so I had this ac since late August and I installed it in September. Here we are in late January and it will not cut on. And honestly I think I ran it 2 times because I don’t really be in the room it’s in.

Perfect for a small room, however the filter is difficult to get in and out for cleaning once mounted in the window. I inserted incorrectly twice and the whole unit froze up. Light enough for a middle age woman to take out of window independently, and place in a storage bin util the following season. Comes with a remote control which is handy if your sleeping and it gets too cold or warm, you don't have to get out of bed to adjust the temperature, or shut it off.

I recently bought this 6000 BTU a/c to replace a 5000 BTU unit that finally died. After a good bit of research I settled for the GE mainly due to reputation and good reviews. Once I had picked up the A/C from my local Best Buys, I headed home and unpacked it to get ready and install it asap because I use it in our bedroom to help me sleep. Once I got it unpacked I noticed that it was smaller and lighter than the older 5K unit. Installation was as easy as any other window unit, no real surprise there. Once I was ready I turned the unit on and once the compressor kicked in after a few seconds it began cooling very cold air (very impressed). I changed the fan speeds up/down and didn't hear a big difference if noise and not alot of difference in airflow, but it does blow adequately. It keep our room cool all night and the noise was just enough to drown out noise which helps me sleep better too.
I do have a few grips and had I know this I might have went with a different one. 1st off the remote shown on the website was a big reason I liked this unit due to the temp display shown on the remote, guess what's not on the included remote, just a basic remote. 2nd the unit defaults to the eco mode for the cooling mode so every time I want to use it the way I want I have to change this. 3rd this is the vents allow you to direct the airflow left or right, but not up/down...really.
So on the pro's side I guess is: 1st it's pretty quiet as advertised. 2nd it's smaller and lighter than the old unit and 3rd it cools better too. I hope it holds up as long as the unit it's replacing.

My house is about 2600 sqft. My ac died with weather in the 90s. I bought this while waiting for a repair part. I have a daylight basement facing east so it only gets the morning sun. The upstairs though was becoming stifling during the day. This little unit in my east facing upstairs window made the difference between feeling faint and just uncomfortably hot. It's no miracle worker of course but I decided to keep it just for such emergencies. It is relatively quiet and I just set it on auto and Eco for the mornings and let the whole house unit take over in the pm. I figure it's less wear and tear on my 29 yr old house unit which just cost me $1000 to repair. Remote is a nice touch since then I'll always have the touchpads on the unit in case the remote goes bad. Light weight made installation easy. I expect to use it from Apr-Oct. Takes the edge off the sun heating up the east side of the house in the am. This is a nice unit and works well for me. I believe I can return it directly to Best Buy if any problems during the warranty period.

This is the loudest air conditioner that I ever owned. It has a design flaw that emits a loud and annoying rattle during operation. I have much older Frigidaire units that are both quiet & powerful. I will not be purchasing anther GE ac in the future.

I recently purchased a 6000 BTU window air conditioner for a small bedroom (about 250 square feet), and I couldn’t be happier with the performance. Installation was straightforward and only took about 20–30 minutes with clear instructions and all necessary mounting hardware included.
Once up and running, the unit quickly cooled the room—even on hot, humid days in the high 80s. It’s surprisingly quiet for a window unit; I can still watch TV or sleep without being disturbed by excessive noise. The energy efficiency is another bonus—I’ve noticed only a small increase in my electric bill, even with regular use.
The remote control and digital thermostat make it easy to maintain a consistent, comfortable temperature, and the energy saver and sleep modes are thoughtful touches that help conserve power.
Overall, this air conditioner is a fantastic value. It’s perfect for anyone looking to cool a small space efficiently and comfortably. Highly recommended!
