While I was waiting a month for my central air to be repaired during a 90°+ streak, I purchased and used the GE portable air conditioner. I did some online research and I was somewhat hesitant. Other reviews mentioned the product not cooling, having to return it or the noise level.  Thank God mine worked well to cool the room it was in. It even cooled the main area of my house to a tolerable level when I used a fan to shift some of the air to other rooms. I deducted a point because of the loudness of the machine.  I got used to it, but it may bother some people. I just set it on a really cold setting so it wasn't turning on and off.  I would recommend this GE product to others!
