Keeps my place very cool. Love it highly recommend

So far we’ve only used the cooling phase of our unit and find it very satisfactory for cooling our glassed in front porch. The noise level is very tolerable and we plan to use the porch for approximately 8-9 months as an extension of our home beginning in early spring and extending thru late fall.

Only complaints are that portions of the fins were already bent, and the window kit isn’t long enough for sliding glass doors (I had to DIY one from a piece of wood).
jdmc –
This purchase was made to cool one room and it has done an excellent job so far.

Bought this unit to cool a 400 Sq ft room, after 4 hours it was actually HOTTER and more HUMID in the room. Simply shutting it off and opening a window made the room cooler than this things did in 4 hours. It was set to A/C and set to High on the fan setting and the temp was set to 65 degrees. It was NOT on heat. Do not bother with this unit…AND there was no remote in the box.

The in flow and out flow coils are extremely difficult to stay securely attached to the back of the unit and the window panel. I had to use thermal Duct tape to secure them in place. The unit is quieter than my last unit. I read complaints about the in flow and out flow openings are too close which decreases the efficiency of the unit however I have not noticed this to be an issue.
stucrew –
It seems to work well. Has double hose which is essential if you don’t want to exhaust your already cooled air outside.
Randy –
I expected greater cooling capacity after reading all the positive reviews. A little disappointed with how it’s working. It kind of does the job yet I expected more.
JaxnNate –
Bought this unit to install in a room with a patio door.. Great for when you’re limited on install options..

I have a 2013 version of this Whynter ARC and just bought this newer model two months ago. The 2013 model still holds up like a champ! It was mainly used at my apartment for 4 years. Moved into a house this year and purchased this unit for our upstairs bedroom. I was amazed the 2013 unit survived the move as it was not a smooth ride! It simply holds up. The model you get today has a few improvements. The vibrant blue LED auto shuts off after about 3 min which is appreciated. The unit itself is noticeably quieter, although it’s still not whisper quiet (It’s a portable AC so know what to expect), my fiance & I had no issues sleeping through summer nights with it running. Most importantly, it disperses cold cold air & does so very well in a living room or large bedroom. Easy to set up w/replaceable filter & looks great. 2013 model purchased from Amazon. 2017 purchased through Best Buy. Both delivered without issue. Deserves my highest recommendation.

The heat waves in Los Angeles summertime were excruciating, and our new residence has no central AC. So I looked at the online reviews from different YouTubers and decided this unit may be the best fit for our need. I calculated the BTU needed based on the room’s cubic dimension, number of people in the room, the room’s ceiling, windows, insulation, and exposure to the sun during morning and afternoon times. The AC provided enough cooling for the room during normal summer days, but I do wish it would cool the room more during the heat waves. We set the temp control at 70 F during the heat wave days and running the AC at full blast for 12 hours, but the room never reached the desired temp. Rather, the room was hovering at 80+ degrees. Knowing it is one of the known factual weaknesses of portable AC, and that we have no other cooling options other than tearing down the house and install central AC, we feel this unit is acceptable, and in fact, better than a few other better known name brand portable AC’s we have used in the past.
Exphixius –
It is not the greatest AC ever. It will not cool as good as a window unit, but they are not supposed to. Its used for those areas where a normal window will not fit, or isnt viable. It cools less than it says, but again that was expected as Ive had experience with these in the past.
Its ok for what it is.
Mjohn76 –
Well worth the purchase. Cooled my room that is larger than the recommended size. My only issue was that the cord was short for where I needed to place it and/or I needed a longer exhaust hose. Otherwise it was well worth the money.
RYAN –
This A/C unit met our expectations above and beyond.
artnerd –
After using this product for nearly a year I can say it has served us well. It has heated and cooled our upstairs loft area and playroom relatively good. It seems to run up our energy bills when left on continuously on really hot days, yet it has done the job. It is very large and heavy, but well made and dependable. Good purchase

Whynter – 500 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner and Heater – Platinum/Black
Keep your home comfortable with this Whynter ARC-14SH 14,000 BTU portable air conditioner and 13,000 BTU heater that features dual-hose operation for fast, efficient cooling. The 101-pts./day dehumidification capacity helps you breathe easily.
This is by far the best air conditioner/ heater dual exhaust which is the best exhaust system that you could get versus single I am very happy and content with this device and in fact I still use it and I still happen to this day you must get this if you want to remain cold in your room on a hot summer days
Ryeguy –
BOUGHT ONE FOR MY CAMP. IT WORKS GREAT AND REALLY COOLS DOWN LARGER ROOMS.
Mwj55 –
This does a great job of cooling for a portable air unit. Consumer reports rated it one of the best and they were right. I have another brand that was not nearly as good
Nikster –
Bought this a couple of years ago & it’s still going strong .. easy to use & good price
Michael –
This was a good buy good for a small room hose is hard to assemble
Tacomeat –
Easy set up I use it to heat and cool a one bedroom house and it reaches all areas. It’s fairly quiet for a air conditioner and simple controls.
CWS808 –
The unit is definitely suitable for the specifications it’s rated for. The installation was straightforward and the packaging it came in kept it in perfect condition.
JJS4 –
Bought this as an open box item and it worked great when I bought it home. While a bit heavy, one person can do it to get in the house and then it wheels around. Didn’t take too long to figure out the exhaust tubes and put in the window. We could feel a difference in our family room after a few minutes.
UncleP –
Very good quality. Very efficient. Great buy. Great product.
Michelle –
Amazing product! Keeps my basement cool. Really good quality
Davi –
Turned it on for the first time and there was a rattle coming from main Ac fan, this unit is not easy to pull apart especially the main ac circulator fan and needed to to be completely taken apart to pull the plastic casing around the fan. There I found a thumb sized plastic scrap in side the cage fan and because of very poor engineering, I would never buy another anything from this company ever never so disappointed with their quality assurance the units shipped would be okay
TPWOOD –
Works great for AC and heat! Living in a manufactured home, I bought this to replace my mini split heat pump that died after 11 years. So I bought this mainly for winter use. I have a window A/C rated at 15K BTU, but when I installed this one, it outperforms my window A/C. The temperature finally turned cold and I switched to heat and it works great. The one plus of the portable for a heat pump it that it takes warm air from the room instead of a traditional heat pump drawing air from outside. So this should work much better that traditional heat pumps. I supplement my heat with a oiled filled radiator, so this produces warm air and the heat pump takes the heat out of the indoor air. The only drawback is the fan noise, but it’s not as loud as my window A/C and I’ve gotten used to that.

This product is just what the doctor ordered !! Works great !!
Doug –
Idk why those reviews are 5 stars, this unit is really noisy, like, really, you can’t sleep with this unit running, and also the fan is always running (after reaching the temperature). If cools down really fast
Charlie –
Not bad for the price if you have a large bedroom. It’s great for the winter since it also has a heater. Not nearly as loud as most people say it is
SMSNG –
Very nice AC unit. Havent had to drain the unit yet due to the dual-hose configuration which cycles moisture out the exhaust hose.
Mark –
Works really well for the most part. Wish it had more directional air flow but does it job. Only down side is we’re on our second in 5 years
Keith –
Very satisfied with the product recieved. Does as described, 500 square feet heat or cooling capabilities and reasonably priced.
Marty –
I’m using this to cool my garage and it lowers the humidity and temperature enough so I can work in it during the day. The garage doors are not yet insulated and I believe that insulating them will further increase the performance. It was very easy to install although I had to modify it slightly to fit the garage window.
Tdreams –
This air conditioner is amazing. It cools my apartment in about 15 minutes or less. Only thing i would say is that my apartment is 690 sq ft so i do close my bathroom door and bedroom door to get the air conditioner to cool down the living room fast because it is strictly for 500 square feet which is very reasonable since that is exactly what it advertises as. It is a bigger size than i expexted but. Works so amazing and sleek looking. I recommend this to anybody who is looking for a good quality AC
Jsteed84 –
As far as the cooling goes it has worked very well throughout a hot summer for a large 18×22 room. I have yet to try the heating feature, but I will update when I do.
Chelsea –
Dont wast your time with this unit. This unit is just horrible. I really am frustrated
and the company wont help either they just send me troubleshooting emails. Oh, and i wouldn’t have bought this unit from Best Buy if I new beforehand that their return policy changed to 15 days… never buying anything high priced here again.
Jake –
good a/c and heater! a bit loud but easy to set up and heats/cools room fast
AVTech –
Strong fan, great for smaller/medium size room. Will have to empty water.
TL76 –
Cools very well! They do need to work on the clamps that hold the tubes. The tubes are difficult to remove. Also, both clamps broke right away on one side and they will not replace the unit. The tube does not stay in place with no clamps. The unit has only been used twice and bought less than a year ago. Other than that, it works great!
JoanC –
Best ac unit i’ve ever had. So far has kept up with the summer heat.
TaliD –
Love this for summer or winter! It worked great in my kids room to keep them cool or wam!
TinaML –
Thisbl is amazing.. Although I bought it a long time go and I’m just getting around to using it, its great…
Got home and my air was not working but I remembered I got this 2 yrs ago.. I was concerned it wouldn’t work.. set it up . Powered it on and its amazing… thank you
Matt –
Have only used the A/C so far but it cools down a 350 sq foot sunroom very quickly. So far I am very happy with it. Works as advertised.
AdellaK –
This is an amazing air conditioner! It works better than any other brand I have tried.
KathyM –
The ac unit is working well but the panel is hard to see. I was able to set it up fairly easily. I have moved it once and it moved easily and I was able to switch window’s quickly. The cooling system works well and I think the heating system is going to also. I have only tried it once so far.
Mikey –
I am happy with this portable air conditioner. The area where its needed remains cool all day and at night i actually bundle up to keep warm.
AnaM –
Its very good it cold ur romm very fast,at least for me
SimpleVlogkit –
I love it. I will cool my den off in 10 minutes. I would recommend to anyone
HowardF –
I had still have one of these still in my house, my last whynter is over 9 years old now. I hope the second one works as long. This new one I use in my bedroom it cools it down pretty fast, it is a little noisy kicking on and off. I would suggest putting it at a little cooler temperature an hour before going to bed then raising it a couple degrees when starting to go to sleep in your bed.
