Is a GE Portable Air Conditioner the Best Bet For Cooling Your Room?


The GE Portable Air Conditioner has a lot of contenders in the portable air conditioning market, so we wanted to get an assessment of how it compares. Upon research, we found that the GE APEO8AK could be a fine way to cool your room if you are looking for a portable ac unit. It is a GE Air Conditioner 8000 but deep in power, with a stylish look.

The included 24 hour timer is a definite plus, allowing you to set the AC room unit to run based on your daily schedule. Better than that, the digital thermostat can be operated with a handy remote control, allowing you to operate the air conditioning unit anywhere in the room.

Keep in mind that portable air conditioning systems typically need to have a window nearby to duct to, in order to remove heat. This GE room ac unit is no exception. So make sure that the room you plan to use your portable ac unit has access to the outdoors to ventilate heat.

Online reviews of this GE air conditioner have varied from great to poor, but in our opinion,, it is evident that people have false perception of what a portable ac unit can handle. If you are depending on this unit to keep a room of yours icy cold and have it contend with sweltering heat, you will probably be disappointed unless 8000 BTU is more than enough for your room.

Make sure you understand how to size an ac for your room to avoid this problem. Better yet, when you do size for a portable air conditioner, aim for a higher BTU than necessary. Some reviews are quiet positive for this GE Air Conditioner, and people have suggested that it is a quiet operator.
