Purchased this Hair portable air conditioner , model cpr09xh7 because right before summer, or on days when you do not want to use the room air conditioner, a portable air conditioner seems like a handy addition to any household. It is convenient, because it is protable , and you can just plug it in anywhere and you are good to go. The size is ideal too, not too small and not too big. Purchased it online and that is convenient too. For the price it was ok, but the only concern I have is that it is a bit loud. And living in a hot humid weather place, that it is like that year round, specially in the summer you want to use the air conditioner at night, and well if it is loud, that is an inconvenience, as you want something quiet to let you sleep. Other than that, it is a ok. BUt yeah I am looking for a quieter one, as for now, this does the job ok, besides that point. It is really hot in the summer and a portable air conditioner is essential.

Beware! Do not buy this item or any other item manufactured by Haier America. I purchased the air conditioner to cool my office nook that is in the finished attic of my home. All I wanted was to get some extra cool air up here since our central air system does not get enough cool air up here (the attic was finished well after having central air in rest of the house, so it was not designed to cool up here.) I bought THIS air conditioner.....I could have bought something cheaper (and I probably should have), but I "thought" you get what you pay for, so I better pay a little more and get a better machine. I couldn't have been more wrong. I used this machine 3-4 times, stored it (by its proper guidelines) for the winter. I went to use it last month, and it DOES NOT work. I have spent at least 8 hours on the phone with the so-called "manager" of their customer service department who has been nothing but out-of-his-way rude to me the whole time! he is the kind of guy that makes you want to go into rants with MANY 4-lettered words, his arrogance is UNBEARABLE. I have gotten so many run-arounds from them it isn't even funny. After almost a week they say they will send a repair person out in 24-48 hours. Their repair person arrived 6 DAYS later. Repair man said it needs two parts and that he will order them the same day and put a rush on them to arrive in 2-3 days. A WEEK later I receive a phone call that the parts are on backorder, with no estimate as to when they will arrive. Surprise, Surprise... In my opinion (and if you do a google search you will see MANY have come to the same conclusion) they are simply stalling in the hopes that you will either give up, or the warranty will expire before they finally get around to fixing it. Either way I can guarantee that I will NEVER buy anything made by Haier America again.....Beware when purchasing as this HORRIBLE company also makes refrigerators, HDTVs, cell phones, and any other electronic under the sun......Probably why they are so bad at what they do.....they try to make hundreds of crappy products instead of a few really good ones. Unfortunately for this company I do not tolerate being taken advantage of and I will pursue the matter until they make things right. All I want is what I paid for...A WORKING portable air conditioner so I can be comfortable working in my home office.

This air conditioner does cool down our room.  It does not work as well as a room air conditioner which most portable air conditioners do not.  It takes the edge off the heat, and lets us sleep comfortably.  Our only problem is it is so very very loud.  It is not just a consistent noise either, the noise changes when it goes into cool mode and rattles.  This frequently wakes my husband up.  He gets up and messes with the air conditioner under the belief that if it is in the right position it will stop making the rattling noise.  Sometimes the noise goes away, but it always comes back even when it is in the exact same position.  other than this noise, I would say it is an average room air conditioner.  My friend has a sharp brand which is way quiter even in normal running mode.  I would not advise getting this air conditioner if you need a quiet environment, only if you are OK with loud back ground noise.
