Haier ESA3105 - Air conditioner

I have a 20X30 room that that is broadsided by the sun every morning till noon or so. So, even in winter the room can get very warm. Bottom Line: The Haier does the job. Bottom Line... it is one of the finest (if not best) 10,000 BTU air conditioners for the money.... Perfecto!!!

After looking at several models, I decided on this one and to date I am very happy with my purchase. It cools the 500 sq ft room to 68 degrees without a problem. The price was great. I have no complaints and would recommend this air conditioner, especially since it is so efficient while at the same time, affordable.

So far the unit has worked very well. The instructions for installation were poor, and there seems like there was more assembly than would have been necessary. Also, I had to drill some additional holes in the mounting sleeve/bracket to attach it to the window sill. However, the unit works very well and doesn't have any of the buzzing or rattling that earned my previous unit a one-way trip to the curb.

Bought the unit from WalMart.com and it was shipped and delivered ahead of schedule to my local store to replace an older AC unit that was older, not energy efficient and loud as heck. The box had some damage but the unit inside only had minor cosmetic damage. It installed easily and I fired it up. There was only one minor issue with the unit (one of the internal fans blades kept hitting an internal piece of metal). 30 seconds of surgery with a pair of pliers fixed this problem and I was back up and running with a cool, quiet and efficient AC unit. The unit served me well over the summer of 2008. In fact, it worked so well I ordered a second one for my house!

This definitely has everything promised. It cools the upstairs of my house quite well, it isn't noisy, has energy saving options and was well priced. It was shipped promptly and in good condition (a couple small dents in the fins, but looked like that was from the manufacturer). The only thing that is a little confusing are the controls, especially for the dehumidify option. You definitely need to read instructions for this. It is not self explanatory. Overall good product that I would recommend.
