The unit cools well and is more powerful than my six year old Fedders 10k model it replaced. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and put this AC window unit in my living room. It is strong enough to cool the entire apartment while being energy efficient. Have had this AC for several months now. It works great, is reasonably quiet and cools my large office over the garage beautifully.

I love this air conditioner. It is not too expensive to run and cools quickly. It is a bit noisy on high but I really don't use high that much. This was easy to install and works great. It adequately cools a large room and is easy to regulate. I would highlyrecommend it. I am very pleased with this air conditioner. central air conditioner prices reviewsI researched air conditioners prior to purchasing and this brand was highly recommended.cleaning a home ac unit my old apartment was way overdue for a new window unit..... why did i wait so long to buy this ac???central ac units made in usai love the energy saving feature.... This unit was used for a bedroom that measured 15 feet wide by 20 feet long having 10 feet high ceilings.

The weather has changed since purchased but great features for the price like the remote and timer. The fan cycle helps air flow to max areas.The new units retail for $400, but if you do the math, you're getting a great deal, and addressing a major global warming contributor. Typical window air conditioners, the kind you pick up at Wal-Mart for $150 bucks, is about as "smart" as a toaster, and far more polluting. It's noisy, inefficient, with minimal controls and, if you're lucky, an on-board thermostat. Over time, we need to phase out this technology completely, in favor or more efficient ways of cooling, such as heat pumps, mini-split systems, evaporative coolers and geothermal loops. But in the meantime, can't something be done to make them less...awful? The answer is yes, as proven by a new window A/C from GE that's "smarter" than anything else on the market. The Aros, co-designed by Quirky and GE, is the first unit to include wifi compatability. That means you can program and control it from your smartphone or laptop.

Just as importantly, the Wink app that controls it gives you feedback on performance, telling you which settings will operate it most efficiently, based on the weather. Unless you're a shut-in who never leaves the house, the chances are that the Aros can save you big on energy bills. Just how much depends on your lifestyle. Simply setting the temperature schedule for your work week and sleeping periods should save you 20% or more. If you're a frequent traveler, or you rent out your home on AirBnb, your savings could be much higher. The wireless app allows you to minimize cooling when guests are away. Otherwise, they're likely to leave the unit on all day, cooling an empty house or apartment. To figure out your "payback" on the unit, a simple formula is: 8,000 BTUs / SEER 10 = 800 W = .8 kWh .8 kWh x $0.15 (average u.s. utility cost) = $0.12 per hour to run your window air conditioner. In someplace miserably hot in summer, such as North Carolina, where you run the unit 24 hours a day for 125 days of summer, your window air conditioner will have an annual running cost of $360 per year.

Let's say you now have a programmable A/C and can save even a modest 20% over a comparable conventional unit. You will pay off the "extra" cost of the wireless unit in about three years, because you're saving $72 a year in energy costs. After that, you'll save a flat 20% on your energy bills every year the unit remains in service. Not a bad deal. The price on the units, also, appears to be dropping, incidentally.Please contact a member of our editorial staff if you need more information. News & InfoEnergy Conservation Tips 20% No Cost Close drapes, blinds and shades to keep sun's rays out of the home during the warmer periods of the day. Don't use appliances that cause heat when it is hot outside. Use the oven, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer in the evening when the demand is lower. Reduce the amount of cooking you do inside on hot days. Cook outside on the grill when possible. Dry air is easier to cool than humid air. Use the bathroom exhaust fan to remove excess humidity when showering.

On cooler days, use a fan to remove heat from your home. Ceiling fans used in conjunction with your air conditioner will allow you to raise your thermostat setting by as much as 4 degrees without reducing your comfort. If your ceiling fan is reversible, set the rotation of the fan to pull the warm air up to the ceiling. Set the thermostat on your air conditioner as high as comfortably possible. The less difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower the overall cooling bill will be. Between 1 and 2% of cooling costs can be saved for every degree Fahrenheit the thermostat is raised. Save as much as 10% a year on your cooling bills by simply turning your thermostat back 10% to 15% for 8 hours. Use the automatic setback or programmable thermostat on your air conditioner. Do not place lamps or TV sets near your air-conditioning thermostat. The thermostat senses heat from these appliances which can cause the air conditioner to run longer than necessary. Clean filters help keep the air conditioning unit in good working condition.

Dirty filters reduce the efficiency of the air conditioner. Low To Medium Cost Consider installing a whole house fan. Use it when the air is cool outside, such as in the early morning. Whole house fans typically use about one-third of the electricity of a central air conditioner. Install an ENERGY STAR ceiling fan with light kit, which is about 40% more efficient than a standard ceiling fan/light combination. Because ceiling fans cause air movement that can make a room feel cooler by four degrees or more, you may be able to save on the cost of running an air conditioner. Consider planting trees and shrubs in strategic locations to help reduce the temperature and airflow in your house. Deciduous trees planted on the west and south sides of your home help to keep the house shaded during hotter weather. It might surprise you to know that buying a bigger room air-conditioning unit won't necessarily make you feel more comfortable. A room air conditioner that's too big for the area it is supposed to cool will perform less efficiently and less effectively than a smaller, properly sized unit.

Room units work better if they run for relatively long periods of time than if they are continually switching off and on. Longer run times allow air conditioners to maintain a more constant room temperature. If your room air conditioner unit is more than 10 years old, consider replacing it with an ENERGY STAR room air conditioner, which uses at least 10% less energy than a standard new model. Select the unit with the highest Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) for greater savings. Ask a trained salesperson for help choosing the size that's right for your needs. When buying a room or central air conditioner, enlist the services of a qualified technician to ensure your unit is properly sized and installed for your home/building. A unit that is too large will not only cost you more up front, but will actually work less efficiently, costing you more to operate over its lifetime. Consider a room air conditioner unit that features controls, such as a digital readout for the thermostat setting and a built-in timer to help you adjust the unit to use less energy.
