Consumer Evaluations

I was in the market place for a new air conditioner for my 12x15 bedroom, and upon reading the other customer evaluations was certain that for the size, BTU, and price the Haier CPRB08XCJ 8000 was going to be the suitable fit for my desires. Upon setup and as I began applying the item I ran into many difficulties.
The very first was that the directions on setup and installation had been unclear, even for such a seemingly simple method.
Secondly, although the air conditioner is mentioned to cool a space up to 250-300 sq feet, it was struggling to cover my 180. And while it does seem to do a much better job at dehumidifying than cooling, the quantity of drainage from the collected water is unmanageable. The item was mentioned to be mostly self-evaporating with a reservoir tank that will hold the excess. I was aware that the unit can want occasional drainage. I however am unable to run the unit for extra than 3-4 hours just before the tank is full and shuts itself off absolutely. Considering that I am working with this in my bedroom there is no handy way to drain the tank with out either completely detaching it from its window fittings and rolling it into my bathroom, or allowing it to drain into pots or pans and carrying them to the kitchen sink. The other night, though I was sleeping, I attempted to just enable the unit to drain as it cooled into a spare aluminum casserole pan but the quantity of water was so terrific that halfway via the night it had already begun overflowing. I'm going to attempt to uncover some rubber hose to fit to the drainage spout to put out my window, but with out elevating the incredibly heavy unit I cant see how it will ever certainly drain efficiently. I could forgive this extra inconvenience if the unit was successfully cooling my smaller room, but it is all about lackluster.
Thirdly I assume calling this air conditioner portable is a tiny misleading. In order for me to move the unit into yet another space I require to unplug the unit from the wall, disconnect the exhaust hose, unscrew the window fitting to change the size and eliminate it from my window frame- then transport the unit to the other room and refit the exhaust hose and window fittings . It doesn't sound like too substantially, but the complete process takes about 15-20 minutes. i suppose by purchasing several of the panels that go into the window frame I could keep those preinstalled into other windows in the home, but with all of the extra expense and hassle I just do not believe this air conditioner is worth the fuss.
I had also tried researching some troubleshooting procedures, but Haier doesn't even list this product on their internet site.
Lastly, mainly because I purchased the air conditioner sponsored by amazon but sold by this organization known as Beach Audio I cannot return the product to amazon. Beach Audio has a 30 day return policy that excludes particular items like air conditioners regardless if they are defective or not. It was my mistake for not researching this prior to my obtain, but I was told that their return policy was 30 days and I did not see the require to investigate it additional.

I was seeking for a very good, smaller, and cheap portable unit to install upstairs in my gameroom, HOA does not allow for window units. This unit preforms pretty well for its size. It does not have a water collection bin through you ought to drain it through a hose, but I have a central unit that removes alot of the humidity.
The installation was pretty simple and easy except for a few modest issues, it comes with four tiny screws that are supposed to attach the exhaust hose to the window spacer, but they where not long sufficient, I had to use 4 tiny bolts and washers as an alternative.
When installing it keep in mind to preserve the exhaust hose as straight as doable any bends reduce efficiency. Also I purchased some insulating wrap form home depot and covered the exhaust hose. I utilised a temp gun and saw that the exhaust hose had a temp form 95-110 degrees. The window insert they give you is a joke also you should certainly install some insulation around it also.
