Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE7.5 / 10
Our takeSame ClearView shell as the inverter sizes, but a fixed-speed rotary compressor at CEER 11.5 and no ENERGY STAR listing. We'd skip it for a bedroom and buy an inverter unit at this size instead.A 6,000 BTU U that carries the V1QWT suffix but isn't on the recall list, since the recall stops at 8,000 BTU. Fine to buy if you find one; the suffix alone doesn't make it a recalled unit.

Watch out forLooks identical to the inverter PHNT10CC and PHNT12CC; only the model number tells you it's fixed-speed. GE's warranty is 1 year replace, repair or refund, with no labor coverage; inside the retailer's return window you go back to the store.Same V1QWT suffix as the recalled 8,000-12,000 BTU originals; only the 6,000 size is clear.
