AC runs less, Built to last!
350477
I have this unit installed on my house in the midwest. I love it! It gets rid of that stuffy feeling when I walk up to the 2nd story. It also reduces the amount of heat transfer through the ceiling into my living space. My AC runs much less than it did before. Super easy to install! It was out of the box and on my roof in about 30 minutes. I can tell by the quality of this fan that it was built to last. Would HIGHLY recommend.

This AC unit rescued me from another uncharacteristically hot summer in WA state. I purchased this last April, right before a hot week of weather that hit the upper 80's lower 90's!  Now it's almost October and this thing keeps going strong for keeping my 25x15 room cool. On hotter days I angle the vent that you can open and close on the top a little lower to blow directly on me-bliss. Large tubing connects to the unit and needs the other end out a window, but that's it for set up! I'm very pleased with this products performance, I do have to turn the volume up on the TV when it's running, but hey, it's an AC unit- it makes noise and at least it's a steady redundant noise, nothing irregular or strange.

Wonderful little window a/c unit!  I have whole house a/c....but at night, I don't want to cool my entire house(3000 sq. ft).  Just wanted to keep the master bedroom comfortable at night.  While a mini split is the perfect solution, I just didn't want to spend that much.  So, I purchased a Frigadaire window a/c unit at Lowes for $239.  We installed it and used it for one week and then returned it.  The noise level WAS intolerable for a bedroom and the cooling was mediocre...this was the 8000 BTU model, for a 350 sq. ft room.  Did a little research online and discovered that Consumer Reports rated Friedrich brand a/c units as the quietest in window units.  Sounded good to me....so I purchased the 6000 BTU model, rated for a 250 sq ft room...my master bedroom is actually 300 sq ft.  This unit was priced comparably to the Frigadaire and the shipping reasonable with no tax!

This unit is very well made.  Installation was easy.  As for the noise level.....while it is not whisper quiet(like a mini split) it is at least 60% quieter than the Frigadaire.  With the Frigadaire, I had to turn the volume up on the TV to level 20, while I normally have the volume at 13.  With the
Friedrich, I've had to adjust the volume to level 14.  This unit sounds more like a quiet car engine, not a jet.  As for the cooling capability.....well it's ICY cold.....ICY COLD!  Very happy with my purchase and I highly recommend it.

It was great while it lasted!  It was used to cool a small server room.  It lasted about 2 years and now only blows air, no more cooling.  If you want something that will last a while, look somewhere else.  Shouldn't have to spend 700 bucks every 2 years.

I have one of these in my apartment.  When it was first installed, it was very good.  It did a very good job of cooling the apartment, and was quite energy efficient.  However, as time goes by, its efficiency is dropping off.  In its third year, it is struggling to maintain a decent temperature in moderate heat.  This is because of the condenser coils being clogged.

My reason to downrate this unit is that, without pulling the whole thing out, disassembling the whole thing outside, and somehow reaching the condenser coils with the hose, you cannot effectively improve the efficiency of the unit.  Other models let you pull the unit partway out of the chassis, and you could gain at least partial access to the condenser coils and remove the dirt.  Not this one.  It seems meant to last 3-4 years and then be thrown out, and I will not give high marks for anything designed to need replacement every few years for something stupid like this.  Not only does this ruin the unit and cost more for replacement, but it wastes energy.  Even if I am renting the unit, this waste tends to hike my rent for stupid replacement, pollutes the landfills, and wastes my electricity for which I do pay.

Okay so I NEVER write reviews but I will for this product in its defense. This air conditioner is awesome! Mine is about 2 years old and works better than ever! Fist of all, if you say it leaks it could be because of many things. The a/c needs to be on a FLAT surface with nothing blocking the vents. Also, sometimes after residue buildup, the holes where the water is released inside the a/c get clogged. ALL you gotta do is open the a/c, clean out all the crap, & your good to go. I don't get it, am I the ONLY person that read the manual?!?! Considering the high cost of the a/c, it has really been worth it. I live in a city where summer is all year long and the temp is well over 100 throughout the summer months. This a/c, with all the bells & whistles, is just so awesome! DEF RECOMMEND!

Ps-The "smart mode" is so cool! the a/c uses the cool air when needed & the fan when it is not TO hot in the room. LUUUUUV IT!

My NewAir AW-120E quit cooling 18 months after I bought it brand new. I did not buy it from Amazon. Of course, the warranty is only 12 months. It was working fine one day, then stopped cooling the next day, even though all fans and lights looked normal. These units seem to have a reputation for failing after 1-2 years. I won't buy one again and do not recommend that you buy one unless you don't mind buying a new one every 1-2 years. BTW, I bought it with my platinum mastercard. MasterCard will extend the manufacturer's one year warranty to 2 years so I am making a claim with mastercard. We'll see how that turns out.

Put at least one of these in your rv and you might not need your air conditioner at all.  This model is a downgrade from the remotely controlled 14 speed model I used before.  If I had it to do over I would get the higher end model again.

Purchased this unit last Tuesday sept 19 got it wed sept 20. Was plugged up and running in 10-15. At first had a fan running with it room cooled down in about 2 hours. Room is about 150sq ft. This ac keeps my room in general about 66-68deg.  Love it!!! Had a frigidaire 10k unit that was NOT as efficient as this. Used to hear a hum. Supposedly was only one year old. Think something was wrong with it. Glad i took that back. Thought I could do without an ac but it got too hot so purchased this one. You will not be disappointed. Only thing i have been hearing running water for the last two days. Posted a question about it to the forum. Hopefully someone has a good answer. Would hate to return it. But not enough to take away a star unless i find out something is wrong. Get this you will not be disappointed!!!

We live on the Gulf Coast where it's always humid. We put this in our master bedroom, which is about 15'X 18'. The air temperature is still below 80 degrees outside so the a/c only kicks on about 3 times a day. I received the dehumidifier Friday night and plugged it in. By Sunday morning it had about 1 liter of water in the container - or 1/2 the container, which holds up to 2 liters. The thing runs quiet, probably quieter than my wal-mart tower fan. We slept with it running with no problems.

The power converter does run on the warmer side, but nothing to loose sleep about - your mileage may vary. I placed it on a piece of tile at first from reading the reviews about it being hot.

After 3 days of use I give it 5 stars.

Update April 26, 2011

After a month of use we really like this unit. Some things that I've learned, it uses about 76 watts (compared to the Frigidaire 70 pt at 760 watts, but a different beast all together) and works best at 86 degrees or warmer. Dehumidifiers work better with higher temps. We had a bath tub drain leak and the insurance company sent out a remediation company that used the big dehumidifiers that raised the temps in the house to 90 -100 degrees. Now it's unrealistic to keep your temp in the house above 80 degrees (unless you are accustomed to living that away), so don't expect this little unit or most other dehumidifiers to perform up to advertised moisture removal claims when you keep your house below 86 degrees.

The power adapter (the black box that gets hot) went out. Looking for a replacement.

Update - April 17, 2013
I bought a new power adapter in January after the update above directly from Ea-Dry. Last night we smelled something burning. It was the electrical cord melting. BE CAREFUL with this unit!!!!!!
Down from 5 stars to 2 stars...

Runs pretty quit. Humidity control needs work, does run all the time though.

After just under a year the fan starts making weird noises... whirring, and even weirder noises when shutting down. Reach out about a replacement, and their warranty support service was RUDE and acted like I was past warranty! And they wanted me to cut the cord to make a "courtesy" replacement. Are you going to reimburse me for the A/C costs for the days to weeks I wait? The whole point of buying it was to stay cool during the summer with lower energy costs...

I live in Phx, AZ so the summers here are sometimes 120 Fahrenheit/48.8 Celsius and higher. These curtains have cooled my house down to at least 20 degrees Fahrenheit and less, which means that my electric bill has gone down substantially too. I have equipped my whole house with these and now my AC turns on about less than half of what it used to.  Oh and another plus is the sound from the outside has gone down too.

Stay away from this AC unit. I've went through two of these units within a two year period. Each AC unit stopped blowing cold air within a year of installation. Sure, Dometic will warrant the unit but who wants to haul their travel trailer to a service center to just to examine something that should work well over a year without issue. Not to forget that I had trouble with two identical AC units. Anyhow, what does that tell you people. Maybe something happened to the units during transit from China. Total disappointment.

The capacitor went out on my 3 ton unit and it would only hum before going into protection mode. I decided, since the only starting boost was a dual start capacitor, to add the hard start kit as well. The unit now starts about 30 amps less on locked current amp rating. Much smoother and should save a bit on electic bills.  I will also say that this HVAC Mega Store shipped it out the same day Fed X on regular shipping. It arrived very quickly.

This AC blasts cold air in the summer cooling my place down nicely. I've been very happy with it's performance. Unfortunately, now that the season has changed, the heat leaves something to be desired. Rather than feeling hot air much like my electric fireplace, it blows barely warm air. The setting seems to be stuck on low when set to heat with no way of raising it. If you're looking for something to work all year round. Seek it elsewhere.

Just a follow up on this review, three years running and hasn't skipped a beat in the summer. Don't know about some complaints about the water reservoir. I have no leaks, drainage is simple and it still continues to keep my place nice and cool. Great buy and highly recommended. My only issue now  is that the hooks on the hose snapped off so I had to liquid nail the hose directly to the window accessory. No big deal but I had a difficult time finding a replacement hose.

Right now I'd like to give this 9 stars based on the couple of weeks that I've been running it.
If it continues to operate, and I always doubt that as China only makes trash, I'd be tempted to give it 5 stars.
Has been very good so far.  But I think I'm already starting to see it getting weak......

Day 15:  I've essentially had the fan running the whole time, I just cleaned out the two filter screens which weren't
too dirty considering I have a long haired dog.  I have not had an issue with water collecting, which is quite amazing
actually, when you think about a regular AC.  However, only in the last 3 days have we had temperatures above 70
and only yesterday was it really starting to approach 90.  Everything seemed okay as I turned it down last night, to attain 68 for sleeping.

Today I came home and it was a touch warmer than I wanted in my room, but it was okay.  I lowered the thermostat down to get the room
cooled completely off, and in the 3 hours that I've been home, the temperature has actually gone UP 2 degrees in my room.  It's on High fan and Cold for AC.  I also have blackout curtains.

I'm hoping this is a glitch, and tomorrow it's going to be working really well again, but this is a 10 x 10 room.  I should be freezing all the time with this thing.  I WILL update.

UPDATE after a hot Memorial Day weekend:  This unit just seems to struggle to keep the temp down.  It's basically a decent unit to keep things fairly comfortable, absolutely NOT an air conditioner.
I should have waited a couple of weeks and gone for the larger unit, and also a different brand.  I thought LG was supposed to be some great thing.

2 stars only because it actually functions and keeps the room tolerable.  I wasn't looking for tolerable.

I could attain the same thing with a fan and some dry ice.  I'm replacing this with a Honeywell 10,000 btu.  Was very surprised at how this never really worked.  2 stars because this one didn't catch on fire like apparently some of them have based on the recall notice I got which had nothing to do with the unit I bought.  If they can't keep their registration numbers and with whom those numbers were marked straight, that alone tells you a lot.  How long does it take to scan a barcode in a factory?

July 2017.  Thank goodness I still have this unit.  I was freezing with it this morning after a cool night outside.  It seems like it struggles when it's warmer outside.  My windows are blacked out and covered, so I find that a bit odd, but I WILL tell you that it's still running and cooling over a year later.  I'd recommend buying the next step up with these units if you can afford it.  But I'm increasing to 3.9999999 stars on this one.  Hope I didn't just jinx it.  And seriously, rethink the remote keypad.  You need to shine a flashlight on it to read the black covering.  Really bad design.  Have had it leak out once this whole time.  Still a little pricey though, and if you're going to spend money on these, get a bigger one than you think.  This is acceptable for a 10 x 12 room with frequent use.
