Window and room air conditioners

Dehumidifiers

How efficient are GE models?

Portable air conditioners

Of the 6 GE portable ACs, none files a higher CEER than the class median: 1 matches it and 5 fall below it.

Window and room air conditioners

Of the 30 GE window ACs with a class big enough to compare, none files a higher CEER than the class median: 30 match it.

2 models sit in a DOE class with fewer than 5 certified models, too few to compare.

Dehumidifiers

Of the 3 GE dehumidifiers, 2 file a higher IEF than the class median and 1 matches it.

A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.

Who makes GE portable ACs, window ACs and dehumidifiers?

DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the evidence is whose model number each unit is filed under and which other brands file the same unit.

One unit is filed under GE's own model number and sold by other brands too, so GE is the filer of record for it.

GE shares 8 units with 3 other brands. Its other 33 basic models are filed by GE alone. Brands it shares with, and how many units each:

• GE Profile4
• Vissani4
• Hotpoint3

How much do GE models cost to run?

While cooling, GE portable ACs draw about 820 to 1,096 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 15¢ to 20¢ an hour, or $35.72 to $47.76 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is GE APHS05B*** (5,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.1) and the highest GE APHS08W*** (8,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.3).

While cooling, GE window ACs draw about 370 to 2,850 W (DOE's listed power input). That's 7¢ to 52¢ an hour, or $16.13 to $124.21 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is GE AWT05M***1 (5,000 BTU/h, CEER 13.1) and the highest GE AWHV24W**1 (24,000 BTU/h, CEER 13.8).

Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 3 GE dehumidifiers with both figures use 6.88 to 11.69 kWh a day. That's about $1.25 to $2.12 a day, or $37.47 to $63.66 for 30 days. The lowest is GE ADSE25W**1 (24.71 pints/day, IEF 1.7) and the highest GE ADSE50X**1 (49.64 pints/day, IEF 2.01).

Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so the dehumidifier figures are the upper end for a day of nonstop running.

At 18.16¢ per kWh, the US average residential price for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Worked out from the certified figures.

Questions about GE

Is GE a good dehumidifier brand?

How its 3 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. All 3 are filed under GE alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.

Does GE make a 50 pint dehumidifier?

Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: GE ADSE50X**1 certifies 49.64 pints/day. By DOE class: 1 in the up to 25 pints/day class and 2 in the 25 to 50 pints/day class. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.

Which GE dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?

GE ADSE35W**1 and GE ADSE50X**1 tie at IEF 2.01: higher than 161 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). At the other end is GE ADSE25W**1, at IEF 1.7, higher than 94 of the 253 in its class.

Is GE the same as GE Profile?

For 4 units, yes: both file them under the same DOE basic model (PWJV08W**2, PWJV10W**2, PWJV12W**2 and PWJV12W**3). The other 37 GE basic models aren't filed by GE Profile.
