How GE compares with other brands, size by size

At each standard size where GE and another brand both have a model in stock, we check whether GE's cheapest model is the cheapest, its best efficiency rating the highest and its quietest verified noise rating the lowest. A price counts as cheaper only by at least $20 and 5%, and only between models installed the same way (a do-it-yourself kit is not priced against an installer-fitted system); anything closer is level. We do not rate reliability: no public data reports repair rates by brand.

Window units

  • GE has 12 window units in stock at 5 standard sizes; at all 5, another brand has one in stock too.
  • Of the 5 sizes compared like for like, its cheapest model is the cheapest in stock by at least $20 and 5% at 2; it is within $20 or 5% of the cheapest other brand at 3.
  • Of the 4 sizes where both publish a CEER rating, its best rating is the highest by at least 0.5 CEER at 3; it is within 0.5 CEER of the best at 1.
  • 6 of its 12 in-stock models are ENERGY STAR certified.
  • Where its listings state one, the compressor warranty is 1 year.
