PHNT10CC GE ClearView 10,000, Inverter Technology, Ultra Quiet for Medium Rooms, Full View with Easy Installation, Energy-Efficient, 10K AC Unit, White Window Air Conditioner, 10300 BTU

I bought 8300 btu unit. I wanted the 12200 btu unit but it would have taken over a month to get it. I got the 8300 in 4 days. I was surprised how well this unit preforms and most surprising was how quiet it runs. You have to double check it’s turned on, it is so silent. Also install took me about 40 minutes by my self. I’ve had ever other kind of Air conditioner in the past. Traditional window units ,rollaround units. By far, this is the best unit on the market. Installation is a breeze, and also the unit puts no stress on your window or its frame unlike traditional units. Rollaround units are way more expensive and are loud and don’t cool the space down well at all because it’s like having a space heater in your house that’s blowing out cold air, counterproductive. This unit puts the hot elements outside and the cold elements inside which makes it super efficient quiet and worth every penny. I plan on getting the 12,200 unit sometime before next summer when it’s more readily available,the only note I would give to GE electric is please develop something similar to this for a casing windows , side closing windows.

This AC is probably 2x more expensive than similar models but I absolutely love the low profile design allowing me to still see through most of the window. Setup is a bit more involved for this one than just dropping in a standard window AC, but a huge advantage of this one is that is does a much better job of sealing the area around the AC than a standard unit. I'd say a normal AC would take maybe 10-15 min to set up and this one was a little closer to 45 due to the need to measure and cut the side inserts. The AC is super quiet and cools my 140(ish) square ft office in no time (which it should because it's rated for a much bigger room). For me it was well worth the extra cost!

The media could not be loaded. Update again: he filter light and Wi-Fi light continue to flash. Two days ago, my husband cleaned the filter and drained every last drop of water out of the air conditioner. It is still flashing and blows air that smells of mildew. It is disgusting. We are going to Lowe’s tomorrow to buy a replacement of a completely different brand. I plan on smashing this with a sledgehammer when we return home.This update should have been written last summer, but it is worse now, so I will give the history.As others have stated, the lowest temp you can select is 64. That does not mean the you will get your bedroom within 5 degrees of this requested temperature. High/Cool is actually nothing more than a fan. The compressor does not kick on. To get the compressor I turn on, you have to change the setting from Cool to Dry. Now you are removing the humidity, but it was spring and not even humid. I just wanted cold air! When you switch the Cool mode to Dry, and leave the fan speed on high - not touching it…it automatically goes into a low fan speed but the instrument panel still says it is high speed. At first it would turn off by itself in the middle of the night and you would wake up in a puddle of sweat and the air being very muggy. You get up, turn it back on, but the room never cools off.Setting up a service call was so hard to figure out. You are directed to go into the GE website and request service. There was only 1 place on the website in our area. We live right between DC and Richmond, but there was only 1 service company???!!!! I scheduled the appointment and received confirmation but it was still 2 weeks out. The guy never showed! When I went back to the website to see if I had put the wrong date on my calendar, there was a final statement input by THE SERVICE COMPANY that never showed up saying “appointment cancelled by customer “. WTH?!!!!!! At that point, my warranty literally had expired 2 days prior. I can’t stand this thing. I want to beat it into a million pieces with a sledge hammer, pack it up and send it to GE HQ. I still am receiving emails that my warranty has expired and to take out a service plan. Good luck getting someone out to even look at it.Decided to conserve energy at night. There is no reason to have the heat pump run all night to cool the house to 68 degrees for sleeping. This unit is quiet, has an eco setting so the compressor will kick on and off. My Great Pyrenees wants to sleep in our room now that it is a lot colder! I am so happy that the temperature is more regulated too - no hot spots!

I like this AC unit overall. It's not ugly and doesn't block the window like a normal window unit does, which is a big plus. The included install kit is very nice, and comes with plenty of foam and gasket material to block the gap on the sides. It's well insulated and could stay in all year without drafts etc.Installation was easy for the most part. It's just little different than a normal unit, with a few specific needs depending on the window construction. I was actually able to do it myself but I wouldn't recommend it.It is for the most part very quiet. The only issue is when the compressor cycles slower to save power, it vibrates a lot, resonantes and make a rumbling noise. I had to experiment with cardboard and foam so that it wouldn't rattle against the window sill.The only big negative is that eco mode doesn't work. This appears to be a bug with these units but not a deal breaker for me. It will come down to temperature only once, but will never come back on when the room gets warm again. Today the room temp got 10F higher over the course of 6 hours and it still didn't cycle back on a single time, even just to sample the room air which is what should normally happen.Still, it's not a huge problem in my opinion. I'm still happy with the purchase

Love how quiet it is, and how low in the window it is.I'm writing to this to let people know of a modification they can make to it. With a philips head screwdriver you can remove the rear cover, feed the flexible condensate eject tube through the slots in that cover, and replace the cover.You have routed the tubing out of the enclosure so the condensate is ejected externally. Now place that tube into a larger PVC drain and have the water run out away from the house. No more algae and rust, and especially useful if you are placing the unit where a porch is underneath it, like me. Keeps it dry.
