Whynter ARC-1230WNH 14,000 BTU (12,000 BTU SACC) NEX Inverter Dual Hose Cooling Portable Air Conditioner, Heater with Smart Wi-Fi, up to 600 sq ft

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Im excited to try out this portable AC unit in the summer time. I heard good things about this brand and like that it can accomodate 600 sq ft and cool the room quickly. I would recommend you read all the instructions thoroughly before you get started. Some steps are in seperate sections. After looking at reviews about leaking, I found the maintenance section that will hopefully prevent me from having issues. This unit is HEAVY! Be prepared to have 2 people lift this upstairs if it needs to go up. I opened the box and moved seperate sections piece by piece so it was lighter. Also planning to install a bug guard in the part that vents out the window since its just a big round opening.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit cools the area quickly and it's nice to have options for heating although I haven't tried it yet this year. Only thing is I wish I had the option not to dehumidify when the AC is on. So it loses one star because a feature like that is important to me. Otherwise I'm very happy with this unit so far!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It cools off our living room with no problem. Really like how quiet it is. Very easy to install as well. Great product.

Purchase for a 500 sqft apartment with ZERO insulation on the roof (just wood because it was built in the late 1950s). This unit tackles 100°F heat outside like nothing. Only caveat is that the exhaust connection has many gaps due to a lack of a silicone gasket (see images). Otherwise, it's a solid unit and I recommend to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this unit 4 months ago and waited to write this review. I am happy to say, this unit works perfect for the aspects of the server room we have. When looking into units, make sure you pay attention to the length of ducts. I made the mistake with this one for it didn't reach the ceiling vent but I was lucky to have a floor vent that I used instead. IT works perfect with the dual venting system. I am happy with this product and plan to keep buy when this product expires, which it will for it has a compressor. They don't last forever, just hope it isn't in the next few years.

Pretty great price considering everything this unit does and it's pretty quite as well! I've only had it for three days, but I've already had to use both the cooling and heating function and it does pretty well. I hope it's as energy efficient as it claims and continues to work as it is now! I'll update this review if there's anything to be concerned about over the course of my ownership.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love it! This unit replaced a HiSense that had failed and been replaced several times. So far it's working perfectly, cools the room quickly, has a better energy rating than the one I replaced, and doesn't fill up with condensation like my previous unit. I'd suggest adding the Continuous feature to the remote and to the memory, and adding the swing setting to the remote, but these are minor inconveniences that don't detract from the unit's performance.

I bought it three years ago and it was my best decision.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the ARC-1230 as a supplemental Air Conditioner for the bedroom of our Florida home. With temperatures steadily around 100 degrees and intense humidity, our home AC couldn’t provide enough cooling power for a comfortable night sleep. We had tried a couple other similar AC units from other companies before but they were unable to accommodate our large room with high ceilings. Looks like the 3rd time is the Charm! This unit has no trouble cooling down our room and keeping it a constant 70 degrees all night. It came with everything needed to install the window vent. I especially like the dual, combined airflow feature of this vent. Overall I am pleased with this units performance and functionality. Highly recommend!

Used the unit all summer for AC without a condensate drain requirement. Tried heat feature in Fall only to learn that in the care and maintenance section of the instructions (not the setup or operation section) is the advisory that the drain tube must be hooked up in heat mode. Wet floor resulted of course. The drain tube provided isn't long enough to go out of a window so one assumes that a secondary discharge pump must be utilized to relay the overboard condensate out a window.

Got this portable air conditioner a few months ago. I set it on automatic and boy does it work great hasn't lost temperature yet. Very quiet at night.

I absoutely love this heat pump, its heating my large apartment so far with no issues and it did a great job in the summer! Its insanely quiet and sips power. It also looks way better than any dual hose high efficiency portable ac because of the hose in hose design. Now for the bad. I was looking all around the insides with my flashlight because i wanted to see all the cool tech in this unit and I spotted what is either a design flaw or a manufacturing defect. The air filter for the upper coil doesn't reach all the way down, so pet hair and dirt bypass the filter constantly. If you look at the bottom of my air filter on my unit, you can see its designed to slot into a plastic barrier of some sort to stop this from happening but it was either not installed on my unit or was forgotten in the design. Its indoor temperature monitoring also seems to be a little off but that's not a big deal. This is still the best portable ac on the market by a huge margin and I would absolutely recommend one of these to a friend! Hopefully, whynter can work with their manufacturer to get this filter issue fixed.

I got this mostly for the powerful cooling but having the heater function for colder nights is a must have. I love this portable air conditioner. Helping us through this crazy summer heat.

Nice and cool!,, Love your product! Best on the market!
