We purchased this air conditioner unit to help cool the house when our housing unit stopped working. It was meant for temporary use until we could get our main unit evaluated and fixed.  Let’s just this GE appliance has exceeded all expectations. Minimal noise, aesthetically pleasing to look at (inside and from the outside) and it keeps our main floor extremely cool. It works so well, our house unit doesn’t run as long or as hard (even being new) as it had in the past.  We are now thinking of getting one for our upstairs!!! Awesome product!!
