I heartily recommend this unit. I live in a condo in Southern California that is older and doesn't have A/C. The past two months California experienced a record breaking heat wave. The temp in our beach city reached a blistering 108 with a humidity level to match. It varied between 78-98%. The heat was so bad you'd feel like you were breathing water when you walked outside. I put this unit in my bedroom. Guess where my animals and I spent all of our time while at home? I don't have to watch any water levels, I turn it up as high (cool) as it will go and run the unit 24/7. I totally recommend this unit for a room unit. No, it doesn't have enough BTU's to cool say, a living room, but a room the size of my bedroom (15.6 x 11.6)? It works wonderfully! Buy one and you'll stay cool in whatever room you choose to place this unit as long as the room size fits with the specs.

****07/21/2009**** Had to add a note: This thing is still GOING STRONG! Works as well now as it did the first day I got it. Yet, an Amcor I purchased AFTER this Haier just died in the middle of a scorcher. I am so impressed with the durability, lasting power, ease of use and portability I bought another unit (14,000 BTU) for the living room. Did the same modifications I did with the original . . . I use foam core to "extend" the window pieces, so they will fit my sliders. The new one also is WONDERFUL. It cools the entire living room to the point when guests open the front door the first thing out of their mouths is "Wow, this feels so good!" Can you tell I am happy with Haier?

Good for places where you can't use a regular window A/c. I use this in a room with a Bay window with crank windows...inserted a plexiglass pane cut to fit, with an area cut out for the hoses, then added the hoses and there you go! I have an A/C for this hard to fit room. It does not cool as fast as some units, but provides a steady stream of cool air, exhausting the moist air to the outsite via one of the two duct hoses.

I bought this for small room on the third floor. It works pretty well but is a little noisy. It is convenient to roll around upstairs though.

Works great. Didn't run up my electric bill. Affordable. Easy to install. About as loud as a refrigerator when the motor kicks on. Looks nice. Can still open and close the window it's in and doesn't obstruct the view.

I definitely would buy another one.

If by chance you live in a house that was built in the stone age as I do, in hot summers lack of central air is a pain.

But, hark! what is that I see! a portable air conditioner! hoora!

Theatrics, aside, this has been very heapfull, because my windows are swing rather than sliding, so that meant no window air-con, so this thing is great as the hot air can exet a sliding door.

It doese'nt make the house a meat-locker, but it is comefertable in here now.

This AC does what it says it does and doesn't produce excess water. Great device for device for those extra hot summers and handy when you're A/C blows a fuse. Keeps a large room very cool.
