GE Air Conditioners
.webp)
GE has long been a staple of American homes — from lightbulbs to laundry machines. Its air conditioning division, now operated by Haier since 2016, has evolved considerably in recent years, blending classic durability with a growing emphasis on smart features and design flexibility. GE’s air conditioners are most commonly seen in window-mounted or built-in wall formats, often aimed at users who want solid cooling and low noise without fuss. That said, while the product line has modernized, GE is still more about refined practicality than cutting-edge innovation. So where does it land in the current AC landscape?
BLACK+DECKER Air Conditioners
Black+Decker is a household name in the U.S., but traditionally in power tools and small appliances — not air conditioning. Over the last decade, however, the company has carved out a space in the AC market by licensing its brand to OEM partners who manufacture budget-friendly cooling units, particularly for short-term use. While their portable ACs are better known, Black+Decker also offers a trio of window air conditioner series: the digitally controlled BWAC series, the simplified BD series, and the basic BD-M mechanical dial line. All are designed for ease of use and mass affordability, and while they look solid on paper, the real test is in performance and longevity. So — is the rugged branding just a sticker, or does it hold up in the heat?
