That unit has been discontinued, GE doesn't sell it direct and where it shows up on a few other sites it's listed as "discontinued" or "not available":

This is unfortunately common, I've been looking for small window heat pumps (that don't require a special power connection) for a few years now. Actual heat pump units have been discontinued and currently available ones turn out to actually be resistive heaters. You can tell by looking at the current draw spec for heating mode.
This one may actually be a heat pump but according to a review it won't work below 41F and hose connected units are known to be very inefficient:

It seems a few manufacturers tried selling some small window heat pump units years ago, but nobody bought them because they cost more than an air conditioner (they charged twice as much) so they discontinued them. Perhaps poor marketing on the manufacturers part, but it means that now there are none on the market when people might actually buy them to offset climate change.
