- Key Specs
- Recommended Room Size: 600 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: 12000 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.)

Q: What is the hose configuration for this air conditioner?
A: This unit uses a dual hose configuration.
Q: Does this air conditioner have a timer function?
A: Yes, it has a 24-hour timer function.
A: The air conditioner uses the patented auto drain or self-evaporative technology which exhausts condensation automatically in most environments. Please note that if the humidity is very high, the auto drain function will still exhaust the majority of the moisture. The remaining moisture will be collected in the water tank at the base of the air conditioner and continue to self-evaporate until the tank becomes full and requires manual drainage.
If continuous drainage is necessary, the included hose can be installed to the upper drain port for continuous gravity drainage. When continuous drainage is set up, the collected moisture will be drained through the hose and not drain down into the water tank and will not self-evaporate.
The air conditioner operates more efficiently without continuous drainage set up as the self-evaporative system recirculates the moisture collected in the tank over the internal condenser coils which help create cooler air.

Not for vertical slide windows & not portable
Not really portable and poorly designed for vertical sliding windows. -1 star for fairly quiet operation and 1 star for (alleged) energy efficiency. I think if you have a horizontal sliding window that is dedicated to this AC and the unit can sit right in front of said window, then this may be a good choice for you. -The window kit is designed for semi-permanent installation with adhesive foam seals. (This could be nice if the foam seals were actually sized correctly. They were considerably shorter than the window sliders, and too thin to be effective.) I had to use styrofoam packing and duct tape for a temporary seal. Regardless, you can’t move the “portable” AC from room to room with this kit. It’s really no more portable than a conventional window AC, except it has wheels. -Manufacturing flaw with window slider “A” which holds the hose. It seems that the vertical window adapter was an after thought and therefore the slider is cut manually to fit this adapter. -Vertical adapter has a piece that juts out and cannot be installed without removing your window screen. -Bugs can enter through the exhaust hose and the many gaps from this poor design. -The hose is too stiff and the unit must be parallel to the window or the adapter pops out of the slider. -oh, and have fun with those instructions! After all that hassle, it’s not any faster or colder than my 10+ old real portable AC, yet much larger footprint and way less convenient. What a disappointment. I’m hoping to exchange for a AC more suitable for temporary vertical window installation.

Whynter -- In Summer
Unbeknownst to me, this ARC-1230WNH model AC unit was shipped to me from the Best Buy Return Center. After installing and powering the unit up on the day following its receipt, I discovered the unit was faulty via an error code that could not be cleared by resetting the air conditioner. Initially, as the error code flashed on the LCD however, the unit pumped ice cold air and cooled my 198SF den (8' ceiling) from 86° to 75° in less than an hour. It worked great for about 4 hours, but ultimately had to be returned to Best Buy. I was initially very impressed with this particular Whynter Air Conditioner based on the overall reviews it received. But after a night in with this bad boy, I immediately ordered another one despite the issue and inconvenience with the first one. I absolutely recommend this air conditioner with the caveat that it incorporates an abundance of pioneering technology. And as a result, may be more likely to have an issue with one of its systems or components. That's just the nature of technology.
