Trade-offs

- The window has to be at least 24 inches wide and 14 inches high.

Decision guide
How to decide
If you want a conventional installation, a published CEER of 15 and an exact fit in a 24 to 36 inch window, go with Frigidaire. If keeping the view matters more, or your opening is wider or lower, GE is the better choice.
Where they really differ
Frigidaire has an inverter compressor, while this GE ClearView model is fixed-speed. Wi-Fi comes with both, and both are aimed at 350 square feet.
What the specs mean
GE delivers 8,300 BTU against Frigidaire's 8,000 BTU.
The compromise
A 24 to 36 inch window with a 14 inch opening suits Frigidaire. GE handles a 20 to 40 inch window with a 13 inch opening, and its cabinet sits below the sill.
What this page can’t tell you
- Sizing assumes an 8-foot ceiling.
- Open floor plans and unusual heat sources call for a closer look.
- Each model has its own window support requirements.
