Nice and Cool!

I've used this unit to cool quite an open space living room, kitchen and dining room area. It's really gotten the job done for me and I really cannot tolerate heat.
Pros: Cools quickly and efficiently
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I read lots of reviews about portable air conditioners. I even debated getting a room air conditioner. In the end I am glad I went with this unit. I have a loft bedroom with a hallway overlooking my living room. The vaulted ceiling is a challenge as is the south facing sky light. I placed this unit in the loft facing the half wall that separates the loft from the living room. I aimed the vents up. There is sufficient cool air to cool the entire loft area and keep the living room cool. The ceiling fan in the living room area picks up the cold air and drops it into the living room. Works like a charm.

I've seen other air conditioning units when visiting friends since buying this model two summers ago. None of the other brands beat the cooling capability and the relative quietness. It's design is good for corner placement. It keeps a large bedroom with high ceilings and an adjacent master bath cool. Installation may take 5 minutes like it says in the description if you have ordinary double hung windows. I have vertical crank casement windows. Installation requires drilling holes and using your ingenuity to make the set up waterproof. The other option would be to vent through a permanent hole you'd have to make through the wall to the outside. Either way, I have to get the help of a brother-in-law or hire a handyman. Since I'd have this installation problem with any portable AC, once installed, it works so sufficiently that I bought a second one for a second bedroom. (haven't even took the new one out of the box yet since it is early April in New England but I am assuming it is an exact duplicate of the one I have now.)

Awesome AC

This summer has been horrible here in Minnesota. Humidity and heat like you wouldn't believe! My room is the hottest in the house. But this AC unit saved my life. It drops the room temperature 10 degrees in half an hour. If I leave it running, I wake up in the middle of the night, freezing! I would recommend this portable AC unit to anyone. It's great!

I am very happy with the NewAir AC-14100E 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner. It is known that portable units do not cool as well as window units. It was easy to install. The only thing I am concerned about is empting the water, which I have not had to do yet, because there is a skimpy hose to use and it going into the unit, near the floor, I don't know how to drain it if the hose is level with the floor. Guess I will find out. I have not receive a bill yet for the electric so I don't know how energy efficient it is.

I purchased this product for our basement ,that we have finished off. We also have a bedroom down there for guests. The unit was easy to set up and was able to modify the hose attachment for a small basement window. Took all of 15 minutes to set up. This was one hot summer here on the east coast and the unit performed superbly. Kept the basement cool at about 71 degrees during the day and 68 degrees at nite for sleep. I would highly recommend this unit if you have an area that needs cooling. You wont be disappointed.

Although it was NOT what I was hoping for..... it does do the job. I spoke with the customer service with Air & Water and they assured me that this unit ran to maintain a set point and when I asked to be sure that when the unit reached setpoint, does the fan shut off? they said YES. Well this is NOT the case. The unit will run and cool until set point and then the compressor shuts off BUT the fan still runs. This is not energy efficient to me and specifically what I had asked customer service. But the unit does the job and we need AC.... unfortunately it does NOT preform as I had hoped or as well as my window unit that runs to only set point and then goes into an energy saver mode (no fan running).
I would recommend this to a friend!
