This is a great unit at 8000 btu, nicely cools my hot bedroom. I do not think it is noisy at all. The eco mode goes on when it needs too. However, GE needs to revamp this horrible app. Worked the first day and I was able to write a schedule for the unit. The next day the ac did not go on at the expectied time. The app had erased all my info. I had to re add the unit would not connect. I reinstalled the app 15 times, unplugged the unit -but no success. App reads the unit and my ac unit location, won’t hook up. The troubleshooting guidelines for this ask non relevent questions like the writer doesn’t have a clue about the app. NO timer on the remote. GE NEEDS TO PUT THE TIMER ON THE REMOTE like the 6000 btu unit has! or at leadt on the front panel of the unit. There is absolutely no way to schedule the unit and you have to do it manually when you come home to a hot house.
