Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

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


Ive had several different brand of portable ac units over the years
