- Key Specs
- Recommended Room Size: 550 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.)
- BTU Cooling Rating: 12000 british thermal units (The amount of BTUs (British Thermal Units) per hour the unit uses to cool the air, also known as cooling capacity. For best results, the capacity of the unit should be based on the size of the area it is intended to cool. For example, a 5,000 BTU capacity works optimally for a 150 square foot room. In general, an oversized unit will not effectively remove humidity, and an undersized unit will not cool the space efficiently.)

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.)

Q: Does this Whirlpool air conditioner come with a remote control?
A: Yes, a remote control is included for easy operation.
Q: How loud is this? How many DB?
A: I dont know the actual db, but I will say the fan is much higher output than my old unit and you definitely hear the fan, doesnt bother me as my main concern is performance - and it (really performs!) but I will say even on lowest fan speed the fan is definitely audible but to me not objectionable, but you know best what your needs are - and again the cooling performance is (very) good. On the other hand the compressor is about the quietest one ive ever heard, its very quiet. Unless youre using it in an environment that requires quiet like bedroom or maybe office etc. I would not discount this unit too quickly based on its loudness, which I say just because its cooling is surprisingly powerful - but if its serious quiet you need no its not the quietest - but to me its music to my ears on a hot muggy mid west day. I would also say this Whirlpool has excellent overall build quality, I paid a bit more than some off brands but im SO glad I did its well worth the money.
