While most people used to turn to their trusty window or central air conditioner to stay cool during the summer, gone are the days when cooling comfort meant unsightly and costly air conditioning systems. Instead, portable air conditioners are now becoming increasingly popular because they allow one to stay cool with just one energy-efficient machine situated in a specific room. Moreover, because portable air conditioners do not require any type of permanent installation and often include built-in casters, they provide convenient spot cooling where you need it and are also ideal for apartments, condominiums, computer server rooms, or any other type of setting that cannot accommodate a window or central air conditioner.
Portable air conditioners are therefore becoming increasingly popular and of course some models cool faster and more efficiently than others. In addition, many of the more advanced portable air conditioners also come with high-tech features such as auto-evaporative technology and even built-in air purifiers and space heaters. With summer almost here, our product team has been busy reviewing some of the newest portable ACs on the market, including the NewAir AC-1400H. We tested this unit in a 250 square foot bedroom on an 85 degree afternoon, and we were overall impressed with its performance.
Designed to fit most average-sized rooms including lounges, living rooms, and offices, the NewAir AC-1400H provided us with superb performance at an affordable price. One of the first things we noticed about the NewAir AC-1400H was the fact that the unit was sleek, modern-looking, and compact. It sported a shiny silver finish with black accents, and the unit also came with large casters for added maneuverability. The backlit LCD control panel was easy to read, and it had full thermostat control and even a remote.
