This A/C is the 3rd we have from GE and it is a piece of garbage. It is so incredibly loud, it wakes me up out of a dead sleep when it kicks on. I'd rather sleep in the heat than use this piece of garbage. We could not find the same size model with a "quiet" option that we have since moved to our son's room. We will have to hunt out the same on online as this is unacceptable.
