For 15 years I’ve been buying small window units for a home library room. The last unit,a Panasonic was quite nice but unavailable when a replacement was needed so I picked up this Haier with its 3 speeds, digital thermostat and remote control and reasonable price. Install was no problem although the plastic side skirts are very flimsy and could easily be trashed while mounting it.
The PROBLEMS: First, this is the noisiest window unit I’ve ever had. The fan starts on high so turn to medium or low. Wrong! There is in fact almost no difference in airflow nor noise level from high to low. It roars on no matter what. Impossible to sleep next to this thing. Next I find out the thermostat doesn’t really know what the real temperature is so don’t count on setting the temp logically. It has to be by trial and error. Further the instructions are impossible on this point. Exact quote: When Ts-1F lesser than Tr lesser than Ts+3F the compressor will cycle for 10′on and 6′off. Yeh,right! and E=MC2 too! Calling Haier for help I belatedly find out their service is next to abominable. Long hold and then they were NO help. So what’s not to like? Mine is going back just as soon as I find something else…
