Haier HPE07XC6 A.C. Portable 7,000 BTU 110V 60HZ, electronic Portable Air Conditioner  Product Reviews

"We purchased this air conditioner for our 3rd floor bedrooms--we have casement windows in one room and only a sliding glass door in another . Like other reviewers I found the installation perplexing but I finally went to a local plastic company who made me custom clear plastic inserts -- took my screen from the window and they made the plastic the size of the screen with a hole cut out for the vent. For the sliding doors the insert was made about 7 inches wide and the length of the door. Both inserts work well. As far as the unit we are very happy as they cool the room quite comfortably. I have emptied the drain once a week for about a month now and I've never gotten more then 1 cup of of water if that. My only complaint is that it is rather noisy but not much more then a regular room air conditioner. Since we are not home much during the day we rarely turn on the central air--just use the portables for sleeping--has cut down our electric bill dramatically. Overall very happy with this product"

"This air conditioner is excellent for the heat of living in the valley near Los Angeles. But it gets really loud, especially when changing over from cool to fan mode ( when it reaches the desired temperature). However, it is not much louder than the multiple fans I had to use before, so I would rate this as excellent"

"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."

"Getting the package was a little bit confusing. I recieved multiple emails saying that my order had been processed and such, but I did not receive my tracking number until AFTER the package had already been delivered. I'd expect a little more for that much money paid in shipping. THe unit arrived in good condition though, and works nicely in my small space. I haven't run it enough for the unit to need draining yet, so we'll see how that goes, but so far it's been a good deal, no complaints."
