What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
This portable ac unit is a must have. It not only saves energy but also contributes to cost savings on electricity bills. It handles most average rooms very well in every mode.
The fan is pretty powerful, ensuring minimal disruption during use. The noise level is not that bad, but a bit much for me to sleep with. The fan has decent velocity, and does fine cooling our 300 sq ft bedroom.
It looks pretty sleek. It feels sturdy and durable.
The remote and controls on the unit are self explanatory. Either operate with the remote or manually. I also love that it has a timer and remote.
The ge 8,500 btu heat & cool portable air conditioner is a top-notch cooling solution for medium-sized rooms. The cooling performance of this air conditioner is outstanding.
Cons
The fan works quietly when it is just in fan mode but once the condenser kicks in it becomes really loud. There seems to be no explanation as compressor cuts on, but no cool air now that we need it again as temps are rising.

Price
Plan on buying the weather tape and/or nice weather stripping because what is supplied is basically worthless.
For the price i paid, totally worth having.
Finally, i do think it's a bit pricey for only being 5100 btus.
Competitiveness
Likely it would be an off brand so the cost is going to be your preference of brand name vs more cooling area.
