GE Air Conditioners
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?
Hisense Air Conditioners
Hisense might not be a familiar name in U.S. households, but it’s been quietly gaining ground — not just in TVs, but in air conditioners too. Backed by a massive Chinese manufacturing operation, Hisense ACs are commonly found on the shelves of Walmart, Lowe’s, and Amazon, often priced to undercut bigger-name rivals. Their secret weapon? Inverter technology, quiet performance, and smart app control — all under $500. While not as refined as LG or Friedrich, Hisense is making a serious play in the budget-premium space. Let’s break down what works, and what still needs work.
