- Recommended Room Size: 500 square feet (The recommended area size in which the product is designed to operate and produce optimal results, such as the desired heating or cooling. Generally, running a unit too big or too small for the space will result in ineffective operation and wasted energy.)
- DOE SACC Cooling Power: 8301.6 british thermal units (The Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC), implemented by the Department of Energy (DOE) after 2017, is a rating of a portable AC unit's cooling power. This rating is based on revised testing that more accurately measures a portable unit's performance, taking into account that these units do not vent heat in the same way as wall or window units and therefore were not cooling as effectively as the previous BTU ratings indicated (based on the ASHRAE-128 standard prior to 2017). Generally, the new cooling power ratings are lower than previous BTU ratings and can more reasonably be compared to the cooling capacities of other types of AC units.)
- ASHRAE Cooling Power: 14000 british thermal units (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) rates the cooling power, or capacity, of portable AC units based on their effectiveness in cooling a single room as intended. Prior to 2017, this was the accepted standard used for comparison with other types of AC units. However, it did not accurately reflect the cooling power as it did not account for the heat emitted from the unit that would circulate back into the space. The Department of Energy (DOE) Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC) standard is now used to determine appropriate BTU ratings of portable AC units.)

CEER measures the ratio of output BTUs (British Thermal Units) to input electrical energy (watts) in standby mode and while the unit is operating. Generally, the higher the number, the more efficient the unit. Though higher efficiency units are typically more expensive upfront, they may offset the price in energy costs over time.)

A: Look at your thermostat setting.. Your unit is running constantly which means either your setting is too low for the unit or your trying to cool too large an area for that size unit
Q: Does the compressor cycle off when it has reached the set temperature?
A: Once the required temperature is reached, the unit cycles on and off to maintain the temperature set.
Q: what is the length of the power cord
A: About 6feet
A: In a two-tube system, one tube brings in outside air while the second tube exhausts the hot air removed from the room. It will get hot but is not a gas leak. It's probably a false reading from the air being passed over a metallic grid.
A: The included window kit is designed to fit most standard vertically or horizontally sliding windows and measures, 6.5" W x 20" L (minimum), 46" (maximum) x 3/4" D (thickness).
Since windows come in different sizes, some customization may be needed when installing the accessories. If the included solid window kit slide bar panels do not completely cover your window or door opening, most customers purchase an additional window kit and use both sets. Alternately, a customized longer solid slide bar panel can be made by cutting Plexiglas or PVC plastic to size to be used with the panel with the hose cut outs of the original window kit.

Great all in one a.c./heater
I bought this unit to replace a window a.c. unit for my mother's mobile home...the installation was a piece of cake. The simple straight forward remote was easy to teach my mother who is 82 and has minor dementia...she can easily switch from heat to a.c. and adjust the temperature the way she wants. We have a single wide 2/1 home and the unit can keep the whole house comfortable with no issues...in my opinion this is just what was needed to fix the problem.

Great unit, shipping could be better...
Knocked a star due to shipping damage (had to disassemble unit to remove a screw that broke off on the inside of the blower vent housing and fell into the blower.) The unit works great besides the shipping damage. Probably lucky that was all that was wrong with it. Works great for what I need it for and is fairly easy to assemble and install. Mine cools my well insulated 200sqft area to a cool 58°f no problem.

Own 2 now.
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.
