Good video ! My same unit 6100 is 2 yrs old, you are correct, these are great ! I’m 71 and the wife installed this. Easy-Peary. Middletown, Del.

I first saw the u shaped ge unit from Doc’s last yrs video. Just installed a 12,200 & a 10,300 btu for a relative. My relative is very happy with them. I replaced two 17 year old units, hope the new ge units are more efficient. & save him some $$. Thanks Doc!

Bought an 8300 unit 2 years ago and it’s great. Looked into adding an AC unit to my central heating and the bids came in from $8000 to $10000 and that’s just for AC not for new furnace! So, I bought this at $450. You can still see out the window and it’s much quieter than the regular units I’ve used. I’m likely going to buy for my master bedroom as well. I can get three and cool my entire house for $1200 and then I can only cool where I need to and save money as these are MUCH more efficient than a central unit. I don’t notice a change in my electric bill. 😁

I just picked up the 10,300 BTU version and so I love it. Thanks for the update after one year.

Thanks for the update Doc.

Wow, I'm just impressed with that backyard setup. Absolute dream.

I just brought one myself. Day 5 of heat wave in NY. I myself put in. So easy !! Im so in love with this unit. Im buying one more. ❤

Generator is a must I bought a pull behind military 45kw diesel from an auction love it I can run my whole house including a 3 ton central ac that is an intresting unit from ge u shaped deff different This man save lots of money with how he cycles the big system off at night a d goes to the window shakers smart

Added a Midea 12K btu in my 1200 sq ft garage. Building has closed cell insulation on all walls and ceiling. 3 bays… Run at 70’ on eco…..keeps garage cool and allows me to do work on equipment in garage … “ no sweat”….😎😉 8:14

Like many others of a certain age I too can remember growing up without AC. We had either Box Fans, Window units or if our parents were well off an attic fan.

Thank you for your review. I just purchased the GE profile 8,300 btu because with our old window unit we couldn’t enjoy watching the living room tv because the old unit sounded like a jet engine.

I did some research on these saddle type units and while the Midea units were a better buy, I settled on the GE Profile due to my window design and installation options. Wanted the 12K BTU model but ordered it twice on Amazon, which cancelled both orders without explanation. I found a 10.2k BTU model online and it was delivered in 3 or 4 days. While my windows were considerably wider than the specs, all I had to do is buy some foam insulation materials for the wider installation. Needed this for supplemental cooling on days over 100 degrees here in TX....and has worked well. Nice to have in case of general power outage as well. May replace portable units I have for emergencies.

They are very generator friendly too. Its powers up slowly.

I love the sounds of a loud AC unit. Especially when I am trying to sleep at night. I have a Midea 12,000 BTU standard unit and I love hearing it. Maybe I am just odd...lol

Thanks Doc!

I am 68 and installed a 8300 BTU by myself on the 3rd story. I love it, I sleep right next to this in a 350 sq foot master bedroom cools the room quietly.

I would want one that goes both AC and heat.

I had one of these, but every time the compressor turned off, it made a loud pop/thud noise which woke me up. Had to return it.

I have heard about these units and researched them. They get top reviews. Here in the US they can be very expensive running into a few thousand dollars each. But I also found that units are available direct from the manufacturers in S Korea for about $350 to $400 each. Huge savings. It appears there are two main manufacturers.

Note to all. You should plug your AC units into a Surge protector. The electronics can blow if the power flickers when the unit is running.

I think that any savings you get from shutting off the main HVAC for the house at night is going to be used the next day to get it back to your set temp. If anything, run it a little cooler than normal at night when it doesn't have to work so hard.

I recently bought two 12,000 btu models for $300 at Costco to serve as emergency backups for our 2 central A/C units. They sometimes take a week to get repaired so being here in Florida, need something to tide us over, plus they would be good in a SHTF situation should the supply chain break down.

wish they made these smaller ones with the inverter tech

Connection to WiFi gives you the ability to set a schedule and also see how much electricity the unit is using. Additionally you can control the unit and it will tell you the current settings and the temperature in the room. Setting a schedule is a game changer for me.

i have a window that slides sideways.....how could i install one of these in that window.

How do these u shaped air conditioners do at removing humidity? I have traditional window air conditioners and have to supplement with a dehumidifier because the air conditioners that are sized properly don’t pull enough moisture. I think part of the issue is it essentially being an open window

Me with $5 in my bank account: Shoulda listened to Doc.

I would like to know how wide the middle part can go. I have a very wide windowsill and a wide outside

The only midea air conditioners I can find are the inverted ones not the u shaped ones. Where do I get one at?

Hook it up to a solar generator and see the power draw. That’s the other use case for this since they are energy efficient

Do you know how to fix the P1 code I emptied water from the side knob and pulled out little filter thing. Water came out that I collected in bucket the. put filter and cap back on back and still has P1 code HELP!!!!

Are there any security features for these types of units? Seems like it would leave the window vulnerable to being opened up.

YOU sold me on this idea..............so fast.......that my head is still spinning. Price is reasonable and I'm thinking on it. WHY beat the central system to get me to just 71 degrees; when I really want 68 in my bedroom???? That's when I get REAL sleep.

thanks for the video. Surprisingly, the 8300 BTU one is actually about $30 cheaper than the 6100 BTU. Do you happen to know the current draw for the two? thanks.

Awesome video! Quick question, it says max window width is 40 inches. Any idea why? It looks like I could just make bigger foam pieces for a wider window?

What is your regular job? you sound like your an expert on everything. What are your qualifications?

How is the filming of this video so smooth? Normally, people bounce the camera around, which makes me sick. When you were outside, the unit seemed a bit loud. Would you say it is?

I heard you say, this window unit has a pump on it, that pumps condensation out. Does that mean it doesn’t cause a lot of humidity in the house? I have 1 regular window unit & 2 portable a/c units. They cause it to be a little too humid in the house. I need something that cuts down on the humidity. Will the U shaped window unit do that?

If you install the Google home app you can program the thermostat to auto change temps at whatever time you want. So you don’t need to do it daily

Question. When the unit reaches the desired temp does it cut off or just stay on in fan mode?? I have a Midea in my bedroom and it turns off when it reaches the desired temp which wakes me up in the middle of the night.

Is your yard outside the kitchen window riddled with grubs?

We bought one as well and it is really quiet. My question is I get water in the trough under the fan blades and when outside its you can really hear the water splashing. What did I do wrong? I likely will reach out to the supplier, but thanks in case you know.

Doc where do you buy your hats? Love them.

I was thinking of one of those for my guest house . By the way love your house I see they sell one that does heat or air . I keep my air on 77 in the summer because my house is super insulated but problem is bedroom get colder than the house even in the winter it is colder so not good then . My house is 2440 sq. ft ranch with R 60 insulation Now want to ask where you got that kitchenet set with the steenless steel top with sink . I made mine for my guest house shed but love yours

I’m wondering how much money you save off your monthly bill, by not conditioning the rest of the house at night?

We have the 8000 btu, but when it cycles on, it vibrates enough to wake us. Any suggestions? It’s two weeks old

If I had a small cabin or a shed I wonder if build an opening that's just for this.

Any feedback security wise on the window / ac unit

would love to have one in my bedroom as I have asthema, but where I rent , they have the dumb and cheap crank-out windows.

What brand is it, I keep watching and so much endorsment but I still don’t know the brand

Hi, I just bought 1, it's 10,000 btu, great, but the water leakage is coming in my apartment instead of outside. What do I do?

My problem is I need it in a sun room and the window is 12” from floor to window sill. I have nobody to install a regular window unit and I figure I can install one of these units. I’m needing the 12000 btu one. Any suggestions?

I’m thinking of getting one of these for my master, which is upstairs on a 2 story with hardiboard siding. I’m concerned about the drip down the house and how in the world I’ll get it tightened up that far up, as I don’t have a ladder that will go that far up. What’s the drainage like? Maintenance? Possible to tighten it by leaning out the window?

why do we say U shaped when it a n?

Are the display lights supposed to stay on when the unit is running? Mine go out after about 10 or 15 seconds.

I heard some water from outside fan, how to fix

Hi question I have walls that are 2"x 6" will this work with 6 inch walls ?

Too bad these won't work as my wall is too thick. 2x6 walls with brick and stone sill plus interior trim sill pushes beyond the 13.75" limit.

Is this just an A/C or is actually an A/C and heat pump?

The 8300 was actually $8 cheaper than the 6100 BTU model.

Could you use this with a sliding window horizontal.

Somebody please respond to this: Why is the 8300 unit $28 cheaper than the 6100 unit? Am I missing something here? Thanks!

what i want to know is where do you live its beautiful!!

I can barely pickup the box. did you need help to install it? I dont have anyone to help me.

What is the cost of this a/c unit? Also didnt mean to sound like You you were not knowlegeable. You must be a professional product reviewer or a retired person with things to keep you busy.

how do these work with casement windows?

Get to it my man

Now if they only made one with manual controls as the fancy electronic ones will be the first thing to fail rendering the unit useless..

Thanks Doc, love follow ups on products. Comment, like, subscribe everyone!

what happened to your lawn ? Looks bad.

You know a guy lives where its hot outdoors when he says 67 is cold in a bedroom. I live in Kentucky and keep my wondow unit set on 62 when i sleep during the summer, the room dips to upper 50s during cold weather

Why a generator? Why not solar panels with a battery stack and a grid independent function? Yeah, it costs 5 times more, but the panels will always supply power and reduce the energy bill. Free air conditioning during the day....

I have the 8000 BTU one and my main complaint is that you constantly have to keep an eye on the quality of the water and keep it drained so it doesn't grow and mildew so it doesn't clog up the pump. You can't just turn it off and let the water sit for a few days.

don't we call these saddle style, where U shape are the others that face up and are rather dumb design.

This is a saddle type not a u shape!!! U shape sux. Same as a standard but twice as much. Don't buy u shape .

question why do some of them say inverter on the GE unit
