Haier HPAC7M Portable Air Conditioner  Product Reviews

"I bought this model last month at Big lots. I must say it works rather well for it's size. The tubing is a pain to postition and it barely cools off a large room, but for my bed room is works great. I hope this helps."

"I would have given this 4 and a half stars if I could have. It's only a little noisier than a fan and has cooled down my bedroom considerably, even during the recent heat spell, there was an occasional night I had to turn it off because I got cold. While it is a heavy unit and you do have to wait 24 hours to turn it on if it has tipped, it's easy to move along a flat surface, even a carpeted one. I do not recommend moving it up or down stairs without help. It does take up a bit more space than it says since you have to leave room for the exhaust tube. It's only major problem is the exhaust port which does not want to stay in the window even with using duck tape. I have yet to figure out how to secure it well. But after a month of use I have never had a leak or had to empty anything. So I think it balances out."

"The AC unit has a weak internal fan which limits the coverage throughout a reasonable sized room (300 sq. foot). The blades do not allow very much repositioning of the "cool" draft. Settings are limited to manual dials which provide vague adjustments of temperature and speed. Unit provides nearly as much heat via the duct tubing as it weakly "blows" out through the front grill. Most disappointing was the exhaust fan. Our exhaust kit seems to be extremely cheaply made as well as poorly designed. The screws do not extend long enough to keep panels extended to cover tall windows. Duct tape is needed to keep the kit in place. Our panels became warped so badly in the window during the summer that they have needed to be replaced. The panels should be comprised of plastic that at least can survive a hot summer season even in Arizona! Haier only warrantees the exhaust kit for 3 months so delay on your part can cost you very dearly."

"For anyone looking for an affordable option of portable AC, this is a good choice."
