You don't have to buy "their" battery which is almost $200. Almost if not all these "built-in" batteries are the same and can be purchased for $99 + free shipping at Massimo: https://www.massimomotor.com/Mass...tery-Black
I own 4 of these different sizes from different brands (DT-Pro with same LG compressor, Rock & Rocker, and Massimo from Costco). 2 of them came with included battery and the batteries have been super convenient at moving the coolers around at picnics. The one with the LG compressor has been running reliably for 4 years.
You do understand that the LG compressors listed in the class action are for LG full size refrigerators?

I've had a Setpower RV60D PRO 60qt similar to this form factor that has been running all yr non-stop in my truck when camping and in my garage.

Not many people would want to do this, but I confirmed that I could run the NewAir cooler off of a small 12v Milwaukee battery. I then plugged in a solar panel, and the solar panel charged the battery while the unit was cooling. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/eg...vw4dp&dl=0 [dropbox.com].

Quote from slaydemon :
Emailed them the same day it was delivered to me, they asked for a video of the broken unit, sent it to them, did not hear back for about 36 hrs so I decided to live chat to expedite things.

Spoke to same guy on live chat that reviewed my earlier emails. He confirmed it was broken after reviewing the video. He initially offered replacement only. I asked for a refund, but he refused to refund the original shipping cost I paid. Live chat below:

Charles Trapp: Please note that the cost you paid to have the unit shipped to your location is non-refundable. Newair will provide you with a prepaid return label to have the unit returned back to us.

Myself: you're telling me i'm losing money for you guys shipping me an item thats broken?

Charles Trapp: Please note that the unit was shipped via FedEx and the service has been used and paid for. Newair will cover the cost to have it returned.

Myself: i paid for a shipping service to ship me a broken item of yours? I didnt pay to ship a broken item, that is not what I purchased

Charles Trapp: I am sorry to hear that. However, these are the terms and policies set in place.

Myself: please send me a link to this term and policy

Charles Trapp: I can proceed with a refund but, the cost of shipping in non-refundable.

Myself: please send me a link to the terms and policies

Charles Trapp: Sure, here you go.
Charles Trapp uploaded: image.png [***he uploads pic of policies for warranty claims***]

Myself: this is not a warranty claim. This is a product refund

Charles Trapp: Since the unit arrived damaged it is a warranty claim for a refund.
Charles Trapp: Please note that the cost of shipping is non-refundable. Please advise how you would like to proceed.

Myself: your warranty terms state they apply if the product was used under normal operating conditions, i never used this product, because it never worked

Charles Trapp: The unit is unboxed and plugged in, it is not unopened. Please note that when the item is unboxed and plugged in it is considered used.
Charles Trapp: Please advise how you would like to proceed.

Myself: I will be contacting my credit card company.
Myself: Thanks



Filed credit card dispute.

Avoid Newair, they should at least feel somewhat bad that they are shipping out this many broken units.
How did you get their chat to open? Every computer i try on their website doesn't open a chat

Same deal as you, wanted to refund me minus shipping. In my case the cooler works fine, the handle is just broken, so i agreed to his deal. $20 my cost to keep a working cooler with a broken handle that i'm gonna try and glue together.

Did any of you purchase the extended warranty for 2 or 3 years?
Anyone have any experience with them to know if they're legit?

I purchased it and got on Facebook to confirm they do free shipping to and from on a claim

more to report. I've operated mine for a week now, it's been running nonstop inside my SUV running off of a 200w solar panels + 2000w eco station setup. on average draws about 40w.

So, if my electricity rate is $0.15/kWh and if I leave it running for 24 hours a day, is my math mathing that the 30-day monthly cost of keeping it on is:

$0.15/kWh x 24h x 30d x 0.04 kW = $4.32

Not too bad I suppose in having a portable, cooled fridge of beverages.

Quote from sdfoo :
Please update if you find a battery cheaper than the 99 dollar Massimo one mentioned a few pages back.
I bite the bullet and bought the battery from Massimo, very fast shipping, arrived in 3 or 4 days? i forgot , could be even faster, BUT, I got the battery in Gray colour, not the black one they said on their website, even my invoice shows the word "black!" I opened a claim/help ticket since last Friday, today is Tuesday, haven't heard back from them yet. So beware, you could get a mismatch color battery, I mean it is fine, it will fit but look stupid. and paying this much.

Mine turned out great. Tested both sides as freezer and they were able to freeze the Amazon Slickdeal Italian ice Smilie

:update: Massimo did turn around and helped me with returning the wrong battery and sending me the correct one. They are actually pretty good in terms of customer service. Waiting for it to arrive.

Disupute done, just received confirmation from Chase today that my account has been credited and the dispute is closed.
