Window and portable ACs · quiz already filled
The quiz already filled these answers: a window unit, a large room (about 400–550 sq ft), a double-hung sash, sleep next to it, and a $600–800 ceiling. The card below is the pick that fits that budget: the current GE Profile ClearView 12k-class you can actually see past, not an 8,000-BTU on a big room, and not an old GE window box. Change the room to medium and the winner changes.
A large sash you sleep next to needs more than 8,000 BTU. The $600–800 range is already filled as $800 so the ClearView still fits. A $600 ceiling on this card is a 12,000-BTU U — a different page.
The pick that fits this budget is the GE Profile ClearView. If you can spend more, the Midea U 12,000-BTU can show next to it. There is no other shape here: an 8,000-BTU Gallery is the wrong size for a large room.
This page stays on a window unit, a large room, a sash, sleep-quiet, and $800.
This card is the quiz winner for the filled answers. Change an answer and you can get a different winner.
In budget
GE
$569
The sash unit that keeps the view. Quiet enough to sleep under in a large room. Not a GE AHTxx, and not a U you shove in every window.
WhyA large sash you sleep in, and $800 is on the table: ClearView, not a U for every window.
See dealIf you can stretch
Midea
$449
The quiet U sized for a large sash. Same outside-compressor trick as the 8k, more air. Will not fit a slider. Not ClearView money unless you ask for it.
See dealSwitch to a medium room and the pick becomes the Midea U 8,000 BTU, about $400 — the right size for that room, not the ClearView on this page.
With those answers, the pick is Midea U-Shaped 8,000-BTU Window Air Conditioner. See the medium-room sash pick
