Pros & Cons
Pros
The compressor on this unit is much quieter than other portables i have used. In fact, the compressor is quieter than the fan.
The unit has a deeper deflector, and the air shoots mostly forward, going up at maybe a 40 degree angle. The 3 main parts you have are the compressor (bottom right), lower coils (all the copper tubes in the lower middle) and upper coils. The freon gas... Read More
Separating the intake hose to another window 10ft away improved efficiency and performance noticably. The condensate drain pump works fine. Only complaint is that i wish the louver on the vent has an auto swing function to keep distributing the air in... Read More
This unit is very well sealed. I'm extremely impressed by this pac that i would go to say it's the be all end all of pac units, i'm even more surprised that (currently) it's priced for only $349.
Cons

Highlights
Quality
Nice machine functions as advertised and powerful
So far this is holding to that pretty good combined with the main aux heatwhich i actually barely run anymore with this unit
This model worked great but in less than one year it stopped cooling
So now about every two hours it shuts off and i have to manually drain it at the bottom
Price
These things are just way too expensive for what they are and the problems that come with them
I managed to snag this on a sale and got a couple of good discounts so i got this at a much lower price out of pocket
But im not sure i wouldve bought it at its current price
Shipping
However angel at whynter customer service helped me to have the unit shipped back to whynter for repair
Much to my surprise angle notified me that whynter was shipping me a newer and upgraded model the arc122dhp
Competitiveness
The hosetubes seem to be a better quality than other brands ive had similar to one that was a higher quality brand
As the bulk of ac units louvers operate automatically and this one differs it should be called out neither the manual nor the s... Read More
