This GE window air conditioner is our No. 1 pick for window AC unit. Capable of 8,000 BTU, this window unit can significantly cool down a room in less than an hour—dropping the temperature by 10°F in 43 minutes in our 340 square foot test area. It also lowered the room’s humidity by 14 percent. 

This GE window air conditioner is one of the quietest AC units we’ve tested, with a 49.3 dB output, bumping up to 59.7 dBA on its maximum cooling setting. Those numbers are a little less than most refrigerators and about equivalent to a standard conversation, respectively.

This GE window unit is Energy Star-rated, using 4.6 percent less energy than the federal standard and is one of the more energy efficient window air conditioners out there.

This GE window air conditioner comes with a remote control. You can also control it via the GE Appliances app for iOS and Android. In the app, you can turn it on/off and monitor energy usage. It also supports voice control via Alexa.

With power enough for a moderate room size, quiet noise levels and remote smart controls, this energy efficient AC window unit is a great buy to keep you cool on hot days.
