Overview
GE's AWAS05BWA is a 5,000 BTU window air conditioner sized for rooms up to 150 square feet, run entirely with mechanical dials instead of an app or Wi-Fi setup.
This model skips smart features on purpose: no app, no remote, just two cooling modes and a 10-setting temperature dial, aimed at bedrooms, dorms and small offices where set-and-forget beats a phone connection.
- 5,000 BTU for rooms up to 150 sq ft
- Mechanical dial controls, no app needed
- 52-56 dBA across 2 cooling modes
- Fits windows 27.125-36 in wide, 13.375 in minimum height
Who it's for
Renters, students and anyone cooling a single small room who wants simple dials instead of an app to manage. Not the pick for anyone chasing whisper-quiet operation or smart-home control.
Pros and cons
- Compact size fits small bedrooms and dorms
- Simple mechanical dials, no app required
- Low 440W power draw
- Auto restart after power outages
- Only rated for rooms up to about 150 sq ft
- No Wi-Fi or app control
- 56 dBA on high is not whisper-quiet
Performance notes
Two cooling modes run at 52 dBA on low and 56 dBA on high, with two fan speeds and 10 temperature dial settings for fine adjustment. The compact 16.4 by 13.4 by 12.6 inch chassis draws 440W, auto-restarts after a power outage, and does not need manual draining under normal conditions.
