The Pros:

•     The Haier ESA410J is ideal for studios about 12x22 square feet with south facing windows. It has the ability to keep the rooms at a comfortable 74 degrees. The installation of the Haier ESA410J was easy and it is entirely possible to have this unit up and running within an hour of receiving it out of the box.
•     The performance of this window air conditioner is quite impressive, being able to spread its cooling ability into neighbouring rooms, even in periods of high humidity. It can do this within a matter of hours and once the temperature was reached, the air conditioning unit was cycled to the off and the fan was running to maintain the temperature and circulate the air. This makes for a very economical unit.
•     People find that the noise of the Haier ESA410J is very minimal and it was still possible to have quiet conversation in the room and not have a dominating hum happening in the background. The compressor on the Haier ESA410J was also very quiet.
•     The Haier ESA410J is very aesthetically designed, and the assembly is sound, with a pleasant finish, according to those who have been involved with the manufacturing and design of household mechanical devices. This is speaking from the inside of the ESA410J as well as the outside.
•     One good point is that it is certain that the condensate water from the Haier ESA410J qill not be able to drip or drain onto the floor of the unit once it is correctly installed.

The Cons

There have been a number of bad experiences with the Haier ESA410J but it is a question as to whether this was a result of the appliance or a result of the incorrect installation by the user. Reports of extremely loud noises suggest the unit is not balanced sufficiently. And the ESA410J conditioner is like any normal air conditioner and does take a few minutes to start the cooling process so it is not a justified complaint to be given to the conditioner alone. Some people have also made comments about mould in their homes from moisture, but this may be a result of environmental factors, not necessarily a fault of the Haier ESA410J
