Haven't had this long yet but so far love it. It is by far the quietest window AC I've used. It arrived just in time for the hottest days of the year so far. It hit the mid 90's and high humidity. It is in our master bedroom that is bounded by 3 exterior walls and it is about 12'x24'. Not exactly a small room for this AC unit.
Previously we had both a GE (8k BTU) and Frigidaire (8k BTU) units in there. They were in the window furthest from the bed. The GE was so loud my wife would let me turn it on while we were sleeping. It was too loud for me too but I'd rather be noisy and cool than quiet and hot. They way the air came out of the ducts, it really only wanted to come out one way regardless of how the vents were.
So we bought the Frigidaire. It was substantially quieter and according to the salesperson on the big box BB store, many people were generally happy with it. While it was significantly quieter, it was still on the loud side. The window install kit was pretty complete but it was really picky about how level (or not) it was. If it was level, water pooled in it and caused issues.
So after reading hundreds of reviews about the older version of this (lower EER rating), and there were no reviews at the time we ordered this one, decided to give it a shot. Thing arrived and toting it up the stairs, noticed the boxed weight was a lot more than the other ACs we had. It arrived nicely packed and undamaged. Kudos to UPS and Amazon! Unboxing was sort of a pain by myself as it is in sort of a box in a box. I should have gotten help to get the inner box out.
I read the quick start instructions and popped in the window. I turned it on an nothing happened. Fan ran but no compressor so no cold air. My first thought is I got a broken one straight out of the box. I tried all the controls and nothing. When all else fails, RTFM! In the manual noticed that the compressor can be delayed up to 3 minutes. So waited a few minutes and it kicked on and started blowing cold air.
It was then I realized that placement of this AC is crucial. The vents either go straight up or at best a 45 degree angle. Since my room is long and narrow, the AC was at the other end so I obviously was going to need a better way of getting the air to circulate through the room to cool ALL of the room down more quickly. So I fashioned a flap from the box to put over the vents and direct the air forward toward the rest of the room. I cranked it up on high and even then it was quieter than any of the other AC units I've tried in the bedroom and others we have in the house even when they are on LOW. Despite the pretty large and oddly shaped room it was in, even as the temps climbed into the 90's, it kept chugging a long, cooling off the room.
After 2 hours, the room had gone from 85 degrees internally to 74 degrees even as the outside temps hit 95. I was definitely impressed at this point. I dialed it back to quiet and it did a pretty good job maintaining 74 in the entire room while being incredibly quiet. Late at night, it was still about 90 at 11pm and I was still waiting to see if it passed my wife's noisy sleeping test. Went to bed, nice and cool all night and my wife never complained a bit about the noise.
Is it totally silent, of course not but it is very quiet. I am going to move it to the window by my side of the bed now as we really only need the part of the room around the bed cooled and not the entire room. It could run less frequently and do that. The remote is quite nice and one thing I love about it is you can turn off the lights on the AC unit and have it go into dark mode. While it doesn't have a built in thermostat in the remote that transmits the temp back to the AC like the Frigidaire does, that thermostat wasn't accurate. Also the Frigidaire and Haier remoter are infra red so they have to be in line of sight of the main AC. For the Frigidaire's remote thermostat to work means it always has to be in a place pointing at the AC unit to update it.
What the Haier does do to help even out the temp fluctuations isn't as slick has having a thermostat in the remote but still works well. In economy mode, it cycles on for a few minutes to circulate the air through the unit about every 10 minutes to update the internal thermostat. I have seen a lot of AC units get fooled by the outside air cooling off the unit and then never kick on even when it is pretty hot inside the room.
The remote replicates most of the functions on the main display and has the dark mode as well. That seems only available on the remote. So all in all I am very happy. It cost a bit more than the others but for me it was worth it. There is a very slight hum when the compressor kicks on but it isn't very quiet even when running at full speed with the compressor on. I still don't like the vent design but I understand why they did it. I am going to move the AC today and see if that works out better. Since it is so quiet, it is an option I didn't have with the other ones.

No way to remove Air Filter without risk of damaging
Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020
Manual says: "2. Remove the air filter by opening the front panel and removing the air filter. Some models mayhave a filter that slides out instead and do not require opening of the front panel.".Problem is that it does not show how to remove. "Remove ... by Removing" is nonsense. If you try to pull it out, you will destroy or deform it. Manufacturer website is useless. Support refers to manual page which is too generic.You also probably will not be able safely replace filter.So far works fine. 11/30/2020
