Ha Sh CV-P12PX 11500 Btu Portable Air Conditioner Review

First off, the brand name is "Sharp", not sure why the title on this is "Ha Sh".

Appearance
This unit is huge, about 3 ft tall and 2 ft by 2 ft at the base, it certainly looks bigger than it looks like in the photo, so make sure you have the space (you're supposed to leave 1 ft clearance from walls on all sides for effective operation). Moreover, the unit is heavy, about 100 lbs, so if you plan to put it on the second floor make sure you can carry it up the stairs.
The unit looks nice and the quality of the material is decent.

Installation
The installation is pretty straight forward, make sure you have a window where you can stick the exhaust host. The included parts support both double hung and slider windows. Basically some plastic panels to cover the opening. The manual suggests that you use the included brackets to fix the plastic panels in place, but I didn't want to make holes in my window sill, so I just used tape and it worked fine.

Operation
It's a portable unit, so don't expect it to cool your room down like central A/C or a window unit does. I put it in the hottest room of my house (kitchen) which faces west and gets really hot during summer. The A/C cools down the room a little bit but I still feel warm unless I sit right in front of the A/C.
when the A/C is cooling, it's not exactly "library quiet" but after reading reviews of other portable A/C I figured it's considered quiet for a portable.
The main unit only has the on/off button, so you need to use the remote control to make all the adjustments.

Frigidaire FAC104P1A Compact II 10,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

I read two reviews for this air conditioner that complained about noise.I purchased the next, newer model, the FAC105P1A, and was hoping the noise problem was fixed, but it wasn't. Not only was it loud in the room where I installed it, but it was also loud in the room next to it and on the floor above. Needless to say I returned it. It wasn't just the noise of the cool air being blown--it had a whining, humming noise that drove us crazy. Stay away from Frigedaire.

Frigidaire FAA084P7A MS II 8,000-BTU Room Air Conditioner with Electronic Controls Review

I bought 2 of these last spring because we don't have central air or anything else to keep us cool. They were really worth it. Not only did they keep us cool but they didn't bump up the bills too much. They are really noisy though. It's hard to hear music or tv above it. The one in the bedroom was great though because my husband like to sleep with white noise anyway. Came with a remote control which is nice if you are in bed and need to change anything. But you need to kind of memorize where the buttons are and what they do because it doesn't light up. Kept us really cool, love them.

SPT WA-9020E 9,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner with Remote Control Review

this air conditioner has one filter which is easily removed for cleaning purposes, but the intake filter is completely hidden and cleaning it entails disassembling the unit, removing the case, just to access the filters.What a nightmare.

Product Description:
Ideal for rooms up to 250 square feet, this portable air conditioner features a 9,000-BTU cooling capacity and an energy-efficiency rating of 10.31. The unit also functions as a dehumidifier, removing up to 50 pints of moisture from the air per day (the dehumidifier functions automatically in AC mode). During the cooling process, its self-evaporating system extracts water from the air into the unit. Most of this water then gets recycled and used to cool the cooling coils for more efficient operation. The air conditioner comes equipped with a 3-1/5-pint water tank and two fan speeds, as well as a digital thermostat, digital temperature display, and remote control, which makes it simple to use. Choose between continuous operation or the programmable timer, which can be preset up to 12 hours. The unit also provides a 62- to 90-degree F thermostat, a washable air filter, an activated carbon filter to help remove odor, a built-in water tank or extended water tube for continuous drainage, and casters for convenient mobility. Other highlights include an LCDI plug, fire-resistant PVC plastic housing, a rotary compressor, directional air discharge louvers, and an extendable exhaust hose (up to 5 feet). The unit requires exhaust hose installation, and all standard accessories come included. Weighing 63 pounds, the air conditioner measures 16 by 16 by 30 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
