General Electric AST05LK 5,050 BTU Window A/C Reviews

Customer Ratings:

It cools pretty well. Not ice cold but I dont' like it getting ice cold. I have it in a small room but it says on the box that it's for a 100 square foot room and my room is about 200 square feet. So, maybe in a 100 square foot room it would get ice cold. I don't know.

It does have this high pitched noise on the high air selection. It doesn't bother me at all. Anything that covers up the neighbor's dogs barking at night is a plus for me because it's a constant sound. But that may irk some people.

On the lower temps it doesn't have any sound, though.

This unit is small. Don't expect miracles from it. It's good for a kid's room or a room you use once so often like a reading room or a den.

You also have to install the side pleats yourself. It's really not that difficult but it was unexpected. No biggie.

Overall I'm satisfied with this product. The asking price was reasonable, I got free shipping from Pavillon and it cools the room. What more could you want?

Not for a person who has a room bigger than 100 square foot and likes seriously cold air conditioners, though.

Oh yeah, it doesn't have any of those annoying led lights. I hate those things that seem to be every electrical appliance you buy these days. Really irritating. But this unit has no glowing lights coming off of it except where the plug is and you can hide that behind furniture. Yay.

For me, this was a plus.

THe controls are very simple and I like simple.

I ordered this air condtioner because of GE reputation as a large and well known company. What was most important for me was "low noise level"; this air conditioner is quieter than other comparable air conditioners.

I wanted an inexpensive,lightweight & quiet a/c unit. This one fits the bill perfectly. It does not have all the bells & whistles like most, but who cares if it keeps the room cool. Which it does very well. I have it in a 12 x 14 room and it does keep up nicely. It is a very quiet unit. I like it so much, I am ordering another one.

Recommended for the price.

I bought this for the bedroom, and the great thing is the noise levels are very low. On the negative side it does struggle to get temperatures down, the room is probably slightly on the large size for it to cope, but it does enough to let us sleep at night just now, but will have to wait for the real summer heat to see then! Would not recommend it for a large room, but for a small room I would think it would be great.

Oh and as an aside, I bought this direct from Abt Electrics, they ship it for free! So save your self $40.

Bought this AC this summer for my 144 sq ft room. Performance has been very steady. It operates relatively quitely especially in the low fan mode. Although it takes about 15-20 min to cool the room, but then you cannot expect anything more from a 5050 BTU unit. No other problems with the unit after 3 months of use.
