            Will this A/C, with the sleeve on, fit into a 24inch enclosure?
            ByAug 21, 2025

            Answer This Question

            This model air conditioner offers the sleeve as an optional accessory (RAB46/47/48). With the sleeve, the unit measures 26" wide. The chassis of the air conditioner not including the sleeve measures 24 3/4" wide. It will not fit in an 24" wide enclosure. -Vikki@GEAppliances

                    Dream Unit
                    The AC unit runs like a dream. It’s efficient, multifunctional, relatively quiet for how well it’s moving air, and easy to pop in the old AC slot and plug and play. The addition of the remote is the cherry on top. Thanks GE

                      This is a very decent, through the wall, AC unit. It fit perfectly in the old wall sleeve of different brand. Clear installation instructions. Works with 110V standard outlet. Ice cold air. Remote included. So far it's been working great ( over 1 month of use). Could be little a little more quieter. Cools advertised square footage without issues.Overall very happy with my purchase. Recommend.

                      I have had no issues and the unit cools my home very well. It does run loud though.
