Our Verdict
Frigidaire FHWC054TE1
GE AHEF06BC
The Frigidaire FHWC054TE1 is a better overall A/C unit than the GE AHEF06BC. The Frigidaire unit has a separate dehumidification-only setting, a noticeably quieter fan, and, most notably, does a significantly better job of maintaining the desired temperature and ambient humidity levels inside the room it's cooling.
