I started shopping by looking into one of those U shaped air conditioners. They're really nice but they require a support bracket to hold the body of the unit outside of the window. My room is on the 2nd floor right above the porch and my windows are right above the porch roof line. Which means there's not enough space below the outside window sill to properly install the support. So I looked into other AC's that claim to be "ultra quiet." I'm so glad I decided to give this model a go.
Where do I start describing this bad boy. Well first and foremost it's RIDICULOUSLY QUIET! I downloaded a decible app on my phone to test how quiet it is and it runs under 40db from 3 feet away. That's quiet. It's very well designed to. The vents are slanted upwards which means it blows upward and not straight at you. I'm not a big fan of cold air blowing directly at me so kudos to GE. The install was super easy but it is pretty heavy for being a 6,000BTU (6,150BTU to be exact) unit. The face comes out further than most AC's do. It's about 8 inches past the window sill but it looks really good.
And to add icing to the top of the cake this is a smart air conditioner. Not only does it connect to your smartphone it's also voice controlled through Alexa and Google. Admittedly the voice control has a few kinks that could be worked out but it doesn't bother me. I just use the remote or the app. A really nice feature on the app is that it tells you exactly how much power is being used and tracks it daily.
Hands down this AC is worth every penny!
