Haier 9,000 BTU Commercial Cool Portable Air Condi

I like this little machine. I bought this one, and then another one (small silver design 50 lb), and they both work great. On 90 degree, humid days it gives me the relief I need. I also have ceiling fans, and these help circulate the air. I have no doors on my exit and entrance to up stairs rooms, yet this little machine gets the humidity out of the air. On 70 to 80 degree days I tend to only run the machine for a few hours. I work a lot, so mostly I am home in the evening, and this is when I run the machine. These air conditioners are not purposed to run full time, so if you are looking for a full time air conditioner, buy a Good Window Unit. Yes I would purchase a portable air cond. unit again... and too Haier. The pricing has dropped considerably over the last few years. Also, I purchased one for my boss. He has one in his office/sitting room. When the door is closed that room is like a dang on refrigerator/ice box. He keeps the window blinds shut so the sun doesn't creep in.
Seriously, if you want to purchase one of these, just take into consideration:
room size
how often you need to run it
how cold you want the room
the position of the unit by a window
the closest outlet near a window
if your outlet is old, replace it
if your cord/3 prong doesn't fit tightly, replace it
make room for ventilation; both inside and outside.
The unit is great for small spaces
The unit is good for medium spaces
The unit is fair for large spaces
Easy to assemble window ventilator
Use clear box tape to seal.
Don't forget to drain with towel under it. So little water, a hand towel soaks it up.
No need to use a cookie sheet for drainage.
You might get two to four years of usage; depending upon how often you use it, and for how long.
Why NOT five stars?
I have owned four, and although there have been some improvements... they cannot be eco friendly if they only have a (typical) two year life span. And too one should not have to pay 50.00 to ship it to the mfg co. in order to have it repaired. Think: the weight of these are too heavy to lug back and forth, therefore it would be nice if a local electrical co. could actually fix the unit; like they do with window units, and a refrigerator.

Great portable a/c

This unit is an excellant unit for an average size room. We cool a 300sq ft area with it comfortably. With outside temp 95 and unit set on 68 it cooled the room to about 74 which was very comfortable compared to outdoors. At night when temp dropped below 80 outside it would cycle on and off and keep the room at 68. Unless the humidity is very high you will only need to empty water tank about once a week. Great product for the price and very simple 15 minute installation. Great for side slide windows where you cannot use a conventional window unit. You can order an adaptor kit to vent through a sliding door.

Good unit for up to 300 sf

I bought this a/c hoping to cool down my 400 sf garage. But the Florida heat is just too much for it. The best it could do was keep it around 80, even though the garage is fully insulated. I thought it might do the job based on other reviews that said it would cool 400-500 sf. There should be a square footage rating in the item description, but there isn't. There isn't even a sf rating on the package or in the manual. It's a nice unit overall but I think its probably good for about 300 sf at best.

Disappointed

Disappointed in the "tankless" feature portion. The unit shuts off every 30 minutes because the tube in the back is filled with water. The plug is located so low on the unit that we have to stick a bunch of towels and a cookie sheet to collect the water. Reviews did not seem to indicate that others had this problem with condensation occurring so frequently. I would prefer to have had a reservoir and have it run for 4 hours straight.

I found it doesnt cool as well as I had hoped and the exhaust hose gets very hot.. it is also very noisy ,,the one good thing is it made me more sure I would buy a different brand of portable airconditioner I have a friend who bought a GE and it cost about the same is quieter and seems to cool better.. Walmart didnt have the same thing when I was shopping

first, the site to store free delivery took three days and not the estimated week to ten days which mattered because it was scorching hot.
the unit was easy to install and looked good, which really mattered to my wife who chooses a car based on color. Our 12x12 bedroom was cooled to about 72 with thge temp outside above 90 which wasn't cold but comfortable. At night. with the outside temp around 75 inside it was 65 which I consider cold, but more importantly at 72 or 65, the room was dry.I hate humidity.
Last year, I bought a unit at about the same price, but needed to empty the water ever three hours. That unit went back. As advertised, there is no water to empty with this machine.
My next benchmark will be my electric bill which I expect to be substantially lower, since I've shut my central air off. If that's not the case, I may have to amend this review, but as of now I say: buy it.

We have short bursts of hot weather where I live, but are having a record hot spell lasting several days now. This works great, it cools the open floor plan of my living room, dining room and kitchen. The noise is what I would expect from any window AC. No problems with the remote, no issues with autoevaporation. The exhaust hose could be a bit longer and more flexible, but it was easy to set up.

This product does work well. It is a little loud, but the sound it makes is akin to white noise. Based on reading other reviews upfront, this product appeared to be low maintenace versus other similar products. After owning the product for a few months now this observation still holds true. I would recommend this product to others.

Have had this a few weeks now. Room temp. in my upstairs bedroom was only about 81 during the day, with outside temps in the 90's to 100's. Within minutes of setting up and plugging in, the temp dropped to a pleasant mid-70's range. Keeping the door closed and the machine on, could easily reach 68 degrees- maybe more, but that was plenty cool for me!
This is a great airconditioner!
Pros- Great cooling power, no need to ever empty water reservouir, adjustable window venting system, fit into my window just fine, very long, flexible exhaust hose so no problems reaching the window to vent, Wal Mart on-site pick-up saved me tons on shipping and was quite fast
Cons- display light for room temp. *never* goes off while machine is running- had to cover it so I could get some sleep- not a huge deal, just annoying, *is* expensive, while the wheels on bottom do allow you to roll it around- it is still very heavy and has no handles so made it hard to carry upstairs, instructions in manual were baffling and almost useless
Maybe a con, but I was okay with it- it runs very noisily- the motor, fan, and compressor all make noise and when one comes on or shuts off during a cycle the noise can be loud and jarring. For me, personally, I like white noise, esp. when sleeping, so I got used to it. If you are bothered by it, you might re-consider use in a bedroom.
It seems like a very well-made product!

The box it came is was horrible! But fortunately everything was working. This is a good unit that helps cool a large bedroom on the second floor. It
is used as an extra boost to the central air. It's a little loud, but most air conditioning units are.

I have an upstairs bedroom that is controlled by a downstairs thermostat. The room is often 10 degrees warmer than downstairs. This portable unit works great up there and blasts cold air.
I am very happy and pleased with the unit, what it does, and the cost.

This A/C cools my 400-500 sq. ft. studio apartment on the 3rd floor of my complex just fine.
In the south bay area of california it could get quite hot, but this unit can handle it.
The A/C is a little loud. The fan option is helpful (does not require exhaust port hook up, quite, and saves electricity when you don't need need the compressor on.
The remote works well.
The down side is that the oem exhaust port mounting board is only big enough to fit windows. I had to exhaust through a patio door, so I fabricated a piece of plastic.
Another down side is the lack of automatic louvers.

This may cool down any small to mid sized room easy, but not any un-insulated garage like mine...
To best get the most of it in a garage is to Aim it directly at you like you are in a car or have a fan help it spread out the cool air to drop the garage temp to a few degrees on a punishing Texas Summer.....

I have a walk-in closet in my room where I have my computer and it cools the room fast, also with a floor fan I am able to cool my bedroom which is 14'x18' with 10 ft ceilings. I gave the value only three stars because when I purchased it in 2005 it cost almost $500.00

I am very pleased with this unit. What makes it appealing is that there is a built in heater to evaporate the water so you do not have to worry about draining water pans or installing a water line. The only issue I had was that the venting pipe wasn't long enough and the vendor had to find a local area where it could be purchased. My unit is used in my office to cool it because of the computer equipment. I don't have windows for venting so the hot air is being directed through the ceiling tiles. I am extremely happy with this product.
