8,000 BTU Haier Vertical Window Air Conditioner

so far it works great cools the house down and keeps it cool. Came home after being out had to turn it down it was so cold in the house never had to do that before.

We got this for our son's bedroom.

It is quite and very efficient. Love the remote control!!

When he leaves his bedroom door open, this little unit cools almost the entire downstairs.

We will be buying another one for our other sons bedroom soon.

Good quality at an affordable price!!

I've been pleased with the product, so far. Installation was not difficult. Probably a slightly smaller unit than I needed, but still cools the room. Love the remote control option.

Installation was relatively straight forward. Had to buy some extra foam as I do not think all sliding casements are the same. No big deal though. The base mount is a great idea. I like how it supports against the siding. Somewhat heavy, about 80 lbs, but was able to get it in myself. Its pretty quiet unless fan is on high but that is expected. It does a good job cooling my living room and kitchen down. Still waiting on the remote control though as it was not packaged. Haier will be sending it though after I had to send endless documentation. My only gripe.

Works as expected for a cheap AC. It's more noisy than a better one, but not overbearing, and as quiet as most window AC units of 10 or 15 years ago.

HOWEVER don't count on putting it in a 15-1/2" wide window unless you want to modify or remove one or both siderails. 15-7/8" should go and 16" will be comfy.

Intalled the unit and ran the product for 30 minutes. It then started dripping water out the back lie it was supposed to but it also leaked a small but steady streanm of water out the front even though we installed it with a 6 degree tilt backwards. Called Haier and they said they had no one in my area that could service unit. The lady said she would forward my problem to the service Department and they would call me back when they found a reapair person. After 8 days and no call I called them back and their "System" was down so they couldn't help me but took my number and said they would call back when system was back up...Three days later NO call. Product is being returned to Wal-Mart and will never buy Haier again.

Setup was tricky as there were many parts. I had to have a friend help me. I didn't really need 8,000 btus but it was the lowest i could find in these dimensions online. if it was a little cheaper i would have given it a 5 all around. remote is pretty sweet, and the dehumidifier setting is useful during rainy but mild days instead of using a standalone dehumidifier that needs to be emptied.

I had hung window but the narrow tall kind. They would not accommodate a traditional air conditioner and required the vertical type. So far in all my research, Walmart was the most inexpensive and the air conditioner works as expected. I especially like the energy saver feature. It will shut off when the correct temperature is reached.
I do feel the price was a bit steep for an 8,000 btu air conditioner just because the shape was different. I can't imagine what was different that made it almost three times the price of a traditional unit that was comparable.
We are using this unit in Florida in a scantly insulated attached garage turned office. When constructed we did put in air conditioning drops from the house but they just were not sufficient to cool this room of approximately 500 sf. The AC is the perfect boost to keep the office cool and bearable - even in July!

I have bought 4 of these units and 3 have arrived with dents in the cabinets. Units still work okay.
