We tried at least 6 portable units in our home last summer, with the intent of returning them right away if they didn’t do the job. Unfortunately we were too late with one return, so now we’re stuck with a single-hose unit doing nothing in a room upstairs.
Last but far from least is this Whynter dual-hose job! It starts cooling the room down within minutes. We have it in the living room, and our hot guests cool off the minute they walk in. All the other indoor units we tried were single-hose and required some sort of attention re: water residue…how to get rid of it! This unit, the moisture goes out with one of the hoses; we have NO problem with water in the house, no pans needed, no draining hose needed. It’s wonderful! I’m pleased enough with this unit that I want to get one for upstairs.
Most importantly, though, is the cooling power it has. And it has it! It topped all other units we brought into the house.
Also an important note: my electric bill went up very, very little. Granted, we don’t use this everyday, but during the summer we paid no more than $20 more per month. Perhaps it is because ALL the fans get turned off and we run only this unit for cooling. Again, we’re talking maybe running it 8ish hours a day–sometimes less, sometimes more. We never leave it on when we leave the house. We also turn it off at bedtime. Sorry I can’t tell you much about installation. We have a thick-cardboard makeshift for the 8-inch opening in our sliding door entry, but will change it to a wood panel when we have time to spend on it. I’m completely satisfied with this product, and highly recommend it to anyone. Trust me, the dual hose makes ALL the difference! Don’t waste time and energy on the single hose. It’s a pity they don’t make more of the dual.

It was a good air conditioner that helps cool room

The portable AC unit works like a charm. After I added a 20amp dedicated line it works even better! Easy to set up the window exhaust system is a bit flimsy, but works need to use some tape and insulation to make a better seal.

Like how it uses outside air to help cool the compressor versus using the cool air it is creating inside the room.

Great product keeps house cool and works wonderful
PatCard –
Very easy to set up I dont have any double hung windows in my family room so i had to construct a new setup for my casement window with some plexi glass,the room is approm. 15 x 20 and this unit cools it relatively well , i did put an upright fan in front to help with the cooling,
really not as noisy as I thought it would be , make sure you do buy a dual hose system ,makes a very big difference

The window panel for the removal of the hot ait is to small, when I called Whynter they said that about 50% of the products have to have the panels modified manual to fit a window.

It’s energy efficient, it’s not excessively loud and cools quick. Only cools open spaces and doesn’t cool around corners even if it’s a small area where the a/c is at.

This is a great portable A/C for the price. Cools off my son room in an hour.

I bought this for my mom whose swamp cooling was’t cooling off her bedroom but unfortunately it was too strong for her electric sockets. It kept shorting out the electricity through the whole house which is not a big place so I do not recommend this for a bedroom alone. Better suited for a living room area or bigger space

Works great! We have a tiny bedroom and this gets the entire room cold in 5-10 minutes. We live in socal and don’t have central air. I also love the sound it makes, I need noise to sleep. We’ve had it for about a month now and use it every night.

After carefully reading the pros and cons of many different PAC’s. I choose this one because it seemed the most bang for the buck. But after having it for over a month I ended up returning it because of poor craftsmenship and it didn’t perform as advertised. The unit was louder than what was expected and leaked which I didn’t notice until I went to return it. I was checking the filter and noticed that a good portion of the fins facing me on the radiator were crushed. I don’t know why this unit was not rejected during the QC process at the factory. Because this unit is no longer sold on Best Buys website, I am now having to spend a hundred dollars more to get an equivalent PAC. I was willing to exchange the unit out because it basically did its job and give it the benefit of the doubt that the next unit would not be damaged and I really didn’t want to spend more than I had too.

It works great in a family room !! It gets cold and is easy to put together. It is a little heavy so it stays stationary in my house.
Susie –
Easy to install. Quiet, and works better than expected!
Anthanerd –

The machine is fair. I expected more . The price could have been lower.

This was my 4th attempt at a Whynter portable AC. After trying their 12k BTU AC/10k BTU heater 3 times only to receive 3 faulty models (vent wouldn’t stay open) I decided to try this model.
It never cooled as well as my 10 year old LG of the same BTU’s it kinda worked. Wouldn’t recommend using dual hoses unless your unit is very close to the window. If the unit is any farther it seems to be choked for air. That being said the far left side of the vent doesn’t push air out, making the air go out straight and right only.
Cooling power itself is underwhelming. Room is roughly 225 square feet and it struggled to keep the room cool with just a couple heat sources on (TV, computer, ps4).
1 star product in my opinion, but with all the trouble I had whynter’s customer service people were friendly and helpful, so 2 stars overall.
Rusty –
This air conditioner is very efficient and very easy to use. Additionally, for its size and power, it is pretty quiet. It cools the small bedroom it is used in quickly and keeps it that way!!
User –
I was excited to get anew AC with a higher BTU, but it doesn’t cool like I thought it would. It kinda looks like a track can too. I’m sure it would work get in a small place but it’s not enough for my 650-700 sqft room.
MediumED –
Very good quite unit worth the money and much quieter than other units.
Priscilla –
This is my second Portable A/C purchase, and by far the best. The double hose feature provides superior cooling, and the upper condensate drain port, which fits a standard garden hose fitting, provides the ability to constantly drain into a separate container is a blessing. I had a couple of problems/questions which were promptly and capably dealt with by Whynter customer support. The exhaust/intake hose, and window kit installation were not as easy as the instructions would lead you to believe, maybe because we are both senior citizens. That would be my only criticism.

Unit barely lasted a year! when i was told i had to ship it to them to get it serviced under warranty i was upset…when i had to pay $120 to ship it back i was very so mad! stay away from this unit and company!

Bought this for my small 350 feet apartment. I’ve been very happy with it. It is slightly noisy.
Chris –
We bought three of these. One leaks and needs to be emptied every thirty minutes. One won’t run on any outlet without blowing a fuse. The last one actually works, but won’t get the small bedroom that it’s in below 70, despite being on alllllll day and night. Not happy.
Mario –
I did a lot of research between portable air conditioners and wall units. I decided on this one due to its dual exhaust feature and I have to say that this works very good. I can switch between ac to fan easily and the fan by itself works well. Would recommend this.
ParentalUnit2 –
It cools great and is quieter than most. I just wish it would not build up so much condensation on the top.
