Customer Reviews for NewAir - 425 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner, 12,000 BTUs (7,700 BTU, DOE), Easy Setup Window Venting Kit and Remote Control - White
I recently had the chance to preview this A/C unit and I was really pleased with what I saw. We are designing a workshop in our garage and looking for a unit that isn't very bulky, heavy or loud. This one moved around easily, has a slim design which will be perfect for storage when not in use. I love that its energy efficient, has a remote and is programmable. I got to see it in action in a large open space and the output of cold air was really good! The setup was very easy and it covers up to 425 sqft, which is plenty for our workshop. It can get hot and muggy in a garage and what really appeals to us is that it also dehumidifies and vents. The NewAir 12200E is at the top of our list. Looking forward to beginning this project!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hard to Install

I really like this, but is there an adapter for the hose? I have used duct tape to hold it on, on both ends. Should have there been some sort of kit? Have contacted new air twice, and no answer. If someone can help, please answer. I have to retape every couple of days!
Pros: Cools the Whole Room
Cons: Difficult to Install

First time I tried to turn it on I got a water full light, called company and was told to send back, this was just before a heat wave. I needed the air conditioner, so I took the cover off and cut the wire to the water tank and it has worked great since. I check water tank every three days and never had it full.
Pros: Easily Portable, Easy Window Installation
Cons: Loud

Poor unit, don't buy

I didn't know this unit required draining of water when I bought it. I soon found the drain discharge was metric thread and couldn't be added to. I wanted to add a shut off valve and flex tubing but no plumbing suppliers in the area handled M18-2.5 threaded fittings. I tried numbers us times to contact product service but received no response. The cap installed on the units drain pipe wasn't the same size thread as that on the drain pipe. I returned the unit and got my money back. I do not recommend this unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very happy with this purchase

5.0 We purchased this Air-Conditioner for our son's dorm room. It had been unbearably hot and the fan in the window just wasn't cutting it. The NewAir is working great. It is small and sleek compared to one we had purchased 25 years ago and it isn't nearly as noisy like our old one was. My son and his roommate are very happy and when I asked how it was working he said: " Mom...The Room Is Chill" 'Nuff Said!

Works great to cool off the upstairs bedroom that is always warmer than the rest of the house.
