WhynterInverter Portable Air Conditioner 14,000 BTU with Dual Hose, Dehumidifier, Cooling Fan & Smart Wi-Fi for 600 Sq Ft Rooms, NEX ARC-1230WN (12,000 SACC), White

I purchased this portable AC to keep my office cool in the summer and so far it's been exactly what I needed. It's unbelievably quiet. There is a slight increase in noise when it first starts, but even then it's much quieter than any other portable AC I've used. The app was easy to set up and offers a lot of settings to control conveniently.Everything arrived in great condition and has been running smoothly. However, there was a brief initial period where there was slightly more vibration when it was running. I believe this is just the normal wear-in cycle so run it for a few days if you notice this and it should improve.One important thing to note (with all ACs) is to make sure it's been upright for a while before you first start it up. Mine was delivered upside down so I waited a whole day to turn it on after setting it up just to be safe.

Best purchase ever I love it. It’s so quiet and it cools my mobile home down very well. I have a 38 year old mobile home and it isn’t easy to cool down but this portable ac with the dual hose does the trick. Also loved how easy it was to set up and install into my window. The app is wonderful love its features and I love that it has a remote and does the isense to get an accurate temperature so that it’s not running when it doesn’t need to be. Definitely worth it and definitely would recommend and purchase again.

This has been a great ac. I've purchased 2 other brands prior and this one the best. Cools room quickly and efficient and much quieter than others. Florida already heating up and great ac during the day keeping room comfortable. Mobile app on phone is very convenient and like the schedule feature.

Used in a 300 sq ft bedroom that receives direct sunlight all day in central Florida. Old 8000 BTU unit could not cool the room. After 10 years using the old unit I purchased this monster.It will cool the room from the 90’s to 75 degrees in no time. Fan is strong and powerful. The initial compressor cycle is as loud as my old unit but after the first 15 minutes the unit is whisper quiet. I have not had to drain the machine. App is working well. Using Siri Shortcuts to turn the device on and off.

Noise Level: I'm most impressed with how quiet the compressor is on this unit. I'm used to the older tech where every time the compressor turns on, it makes this really loud BOOONNNNNNGGG / humming noise. Traditionally, the compressor has been the source of most of the noise coming from the unit. With this Whynter unit, you barely notice the compressor has engaged as it only makes a slight, high-pitched noise. All the noise (which can be considerable) comes from the speed of the fan BUT, you can control that to your preference. I leave my unit on auto and it rarely runs at high fan speed but YMMV depending on your situation.Cooling Performance: Cooling is much more efficient with the dual hose design. My old unit with a single hose was running more often to keep the room cool and I believe this is specifically due to the dual hose design. If anything, this unit tends to cool my room TOO much and I've been trying to strike the right balance, which for me has been 73 full auto with "i sense" enabled. I'll discuss "i sense" in the physical remote section below.Features: I would say this product is fully loaded with all the features you want and some extras too. I am not using the wireless app to control the device but, it does have some app-unique features such as setting schedules, check function (which is a self-diagnosis test for the health of the machine), boost mode (max cool / max fan speed), express run (this is where you can program and activate a specific mode, temp, and fan speed with 1 button), and of course, the convenience of controlling the unit remotely.Physical Remote: the physical remote is simple and easy to use but, it's range is finicky which is the only negative thing I have to say about this unit overall. For example, on the remote, there is a button labeled "i sense" which uses the remote as a temperature sensor / thermostat. This is a feature I have on my old unit, and I was glad to see it included with this Whynter unit. The way it works is that the remote reports back its temperature sensor reading every 3 minutes back to the main unit which reacts appropriately. The key here is making sure the remote has a clear line of sight to the main unit and isn't too far away. Max range of the remote is 8 meters / 26 feet and the remote needs to be pointing DIRECTLY at the main unit. I've found that it's very easy for the remote to fall out of communication with the main unit so, I test by placing the remote where I want it to sit and then hitting the temp up or down button to make sure the main unit reacts. It's quite sensitive to line-of-sight issues so, test communication thoroughly when relying on "i sense." If the remote cannot communicate with the main unit after 7 minutes, "i sense" automatically disengages. At least there is a small icon on the remote (which is shaped like generic person’s head and shoulders) indicating the feature is active.Window Kit: The unit comes with a VERY large set of panels for window installation. I have a 36 inch wide window which was the perfect, wrong size. My window was too big for only using the panel with the cutout for the dual hose so, I added the extension panel. But the extension panel was too big as it covered 70% of the exhaust cutout when fully ended on a 36 inch wide window. I read the manual and it said to cut the extension panel to size…which I easily did using a circular saw after measuring. You will need to be prepared to cut the extension panel to size if your window width is larger than 28 ½ inches but smaller than 42 inches. This is a VERY common range for window sizes so, be prepared to cut the extension panel.Overall: I love this air conditioner and can attest to the increased efficiency of the dual-hose design. It cools very well and operates well by setting a temp and then using the auto features. Worth the extra cash money for the quiet compressor / dual-hose design.

Easy to install and so much quieter than last model.We had a black and decker that started leaking after 3 years. After researching, we decided to go with the inverter and man did this not disappoint. The room got down to 67 degrees within an hour and has pretty good blast. It looks sleek - and fits in corner of room. The only real negative is the flexibility of the hose for tight corners - but comes with the duo exhaust territory.Simple. Effective. Sleek.
