Tools and Hardware Reviews of PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER
Customer Review: Installation
Summary: 4 Stars
The unit works fine and there was no dripping on the floor. However, installation was close to impossible. The contraption to be used to vent through the window has a hole placed in such a way that when you make the sliding panel fit the window, the hole does not line up. I had to use all kinds of jerryrigged ideas to get it to vent. The panel has a sliding insert, when you line up the holes in each, it will no longer fit in the window. The unit it replaced fit perfectly. Another annoying thing is that when you turn the unit on, it automatically goes to whatever it was on before. So if it was on a/c and you turn it on, you have to push the buttons to cycle from a/c through dehumidifier to fan. The lowest setting of the fan is higher than I would expect and appears to be identical to medium. The unit that was replaced had a nice low speed that was quiet. This does not. It is quite loud.Customer Review: Haier HPE07XC6 7000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner

I love this portable A/C unit! I am in Lodi, California, a place where it gets very very hot in the summer. This product arrived on time and undamaged and the delivery guy even came to my door with the box! It is NOT Loud! I read other reviews on this unit and was hesitent about buying it but was relieved to hear it was way quieter then I expected. I have only used it three times because it really isn't hot yet. As far as the drain plug, I inserted a hose to a 1/2 gallon sealed container so catch any draining water. It may or may not evaporate but it is a small inconvenience to keep it running, to dump it, but for the three times I ran it no water went into the container. It cools my room nice and that is all I am hoping for. April-October are my town hot months, so now I am prepared. I reccommend this A/C unit happily! Raymond.Customer Review: Good Supplemental A/C unit

I work for the Air Force and due to budget cuts they (Air Force Leadership) has been trying to save money by shutting off A/C in our offices on the weekends and increasing the temp during the work week. Not the best thing to do in west Texas in my opinion. Anyway we work a lot on the weekends. This unit works great at cooling down our office. As the other reviews have stated it is a bit noisy. It ran for about 4 hours a day for two weeks and almost 8 hours last weekend and it hasn't had to be drained yet. I did drain out about a cup of water before writing this review. That tells me that the auto evaporation is working fine. I would recommend this product.Customer Review: Works very well

I spent a lot of time researching which portable air conditioner to buy for my room. My room is quite large, and this baby is able to cool it down. It's relatively cheap compared to most air conditioners out there on the market. I was actually able to find this air conditioner for $249.00 from an official online Haier portable a/c distributor store =]. Shipping was $60, so in the end I bought it for around $312.00 including tax. I love this product! Warning: After buying a portable a/c, it's recommended that you leave it upright for 24 hours before operation in order to balance the cooling oil if it might have been rested on its side during transportation.Customer Review: Loud, but works

Okay I haven't had any of the drainage issues, but I live in Southern Cali and the humidity isn't too bad. It was easy to install, if you live in an apartment before you begin also pick up some HVAC duct tape and some weather stripping. Because I have the glass slide windows I wanted to make sure I was keeping the cold air in. We use the AC in our bedroom only approx. 300 sq. ft and it easily drops down to 71- 73 F. The only drawback is the noise, but it eventually fades to white noise and you can sleep with it. Personally for summer comfort while sleeping this unit does a good job.
