About - Haier ESAD4066
The Haier ESAD4066 is part of the air conditioner test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, air conditioner models like the ESAD4066 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Comfort: This is how well temperature and humidity are controlled at the low-cool setting. The best performers held temperatures to within one-and-a-half degrees of the setpoint. Indoor noise low: This judgment of indoor noise at the low-cool setting combines an objective measurement of noise level using a decibel meter with a subjective assessment of noise quality (how annoying or grating the particular sounds were). Indoor noise high: This judgment of indoor noise at the high-cool setting combines an objective measurement of noise level using a decibel meter with a subjective assessment of noise quality (how annoying or grating the particular sounds were).

About This Brand

Haier is available at Wal-Mart and BJ's, and at independent appliance dealers. Haier also markets window air conditioners under the Amana name. It makes Energy Star units. Prices range $100 to $500, and Btu from 5,000 to 24,000.

Features & Specs - Haier ESAD4066
Btu/hr. The unit's cooling capacity, as supplied by the manufacturer (and as certified by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, AHAM, unless otherwise noted in the Recommendations & Notes). Capacities range from 5,000 British thermal units per hour (enough for a modest-sized bedroom) up to 12,500 Btu/hr. (adequate for a large, sun-drenched room or even two interconnected rooms). Btu/hr.	6000
EER The energy-efficiency rating, as supplied by the manufacturer (and as certified by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers, AHAM, unless otherwise noted in the Recommendations & Notes). The higher a unit's EER, the lower its operating cost compared with other models of its size. EER	12.0
Min window width (in.) The minimum and maximum window-widths into which the air conditioner will fit. If your window opening is narrower than the minimum width, the air conditioner will not fit. If your window opening is wider than the maximum width, the side panels will not cover the entire opening. Min window width (in.)	23
Max window width (in.) The minimum and maximum window-widths into which the air conditioner will fit. If your window opening is narrower than the minimum width, the air conditioner will not fit. If your window opening is wider than the maximum width, the side panels will not cover the entire opening. Max window width (in.)	37
Weight (lbs.) In general, smaller-capacity models are lighter, while larger-capacity and some high-efficiency models tend to be heavier. Weight (lbs.)	57
Remote control Much like the remotes for home-entertainment devices, these wireless devices control almost any function on the unit. They're especially useful if access to the air conditioner is limited, as when the unit is mounted through the wall at ceiling level. The remote generally works well anywhere in a room, although some may not work as well when they're used far to one side of the air conditioner. Remote control	Yes

Comment:

We use this product in our bedroom but also blow the cool air out to the remainder of the house. For the size it does a surprisingly good job of cooling and taking the humidity out of the bulk of the house.<br />The noise of this air conditioner is no greater then the 6000 btu it replaced and other air conditioners we have had in the past.<br />The energy efficiency mode is good when we are away at work or on vacation and just need to maintain the temperature and the humidity at a reasonable level with out the unit running all the time.<br />Overall this unit works well but as expected for this type of unit.

Dehumidifier is a joke

Comment:

I bought this based on Consumer Reports' positive reviews and enthusiasm about the dehumidify mode. It doesn't dehumidify AT ALL, in fact upon turning it on, the humidity level in the room will often rise a few degrees before dropping to the original humidity level. I have had to purchase a separate dehumidifier, and wouldn't have bought the AC at all if I had known. Very disappointed. However, if you are only in the market for an efficient effective AC, this will certainly do the job.

Comment:

This is our third summer using this ac and we love it. It's quiet, good looking and energy efficient. I'm not sure what the other reviewers are comparing this to when they say its noisy. We have a Frigidaire that was highly rated by CR in our second bedroom and that unit is NOISY but at 1/3rd the price of the Haier it was a bargain but I certainly couldn't sleep with it running.
