  • 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.)
    • Number of Cool Settings: 1
    • Number of Fan Speeds: 3
    • Airflow Rate: 388 cubic feet per minute
    • Remote Control: true
    • Integrated Heater: false
    • Sleep Mode: false (Enabling this mode sets the unit to first reach the desired temperature, then gradually increase the temperature over a period of time until it reaches a new set temperature, typically several degrees higher than the initial cool setting. This mode helps save energy while keeping the room comfortable.)
    • Timer: true
    • Auto Shut-Off: true (Feature automatically turns off the product.)
    • Window Venting Kit: true (Indicates whether supplies for venting the unit through a window are included.)
    • Energy Efficiency Ratio: 10.7 (The ratio of output BTUs (British Thermal Units) to input electrical energy (watts) at a given operating point. 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.)
    • Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio (CEER): 6 (The standard used to measure energy efficiency in window and room air conditioners by the Department of Energy (DOE) as of June of 2014. 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.)
    • App Compatible: true (The product can be connected to a program or software application on a mobile device, which then receives collected data from the product.)
    • Works With: Amazon Alexa, Google Home (Compatible with or able to be connected to other smart devices or applications.)
    • Wireless Connectivity: Wi-Fi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
    • Air Conditioner Type: Portable
    • Hose Configuration: Dual (Generally, dual hose configurations are more efficient and better suited for cooling larger areas. Single hose configurations typically consume less energy and are best for cooling smaller spaces.)

The Whynter ARC-1230WN Inverter Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner has the highest cooling BTU (14,000 ASHRAE / 12,000 SACC) in the market. The cooling power you need to cool, dehumidify or circulate the air in up to 600 sq. ft of space. Smart functionalities include the NetHome Plus app to control your portable air conditioner through Wi-Fi from virtually anywhere. You can also control it with Amazon Alexa or Google Home voice assistant. Intelligent features such as the 24-hour Timer, Sleep Mode, Auto restart, Self-Diagnosis, Express Run Settings, Schedules, and Filter Check Reminder Light. As pioneers in the air comfort industry, we are introducing the next-generation Inverter Technology currently only being used in high-efficiency ductless mini-split air conditioners to our NEX line of portable air conditioners. The variable-speed system allows the compressor to optimize efficiency and power consumption together while maintaining a specified output. Estimated 40% – 50% in energy savings with no voltage peaks from the compressor. The innovative two-hose-in-one design and the sealed bottom structure ensure no heat leakage. This cooling setup extracts and exhausts air from the outside, so the indoor space reaches an independent and balanced cool air circulation. As a result, the entire room can be cooled down quickly and effectively.

Q: How can I control this air conditioner remotely?

A: You can control it remotely using the NetHome Plus app via Wi-Fi, or with Amazon Alexa or Google Home voice assistants.

Q: What is the cooling capacity of this Whynter air conditioner?

A: This unit has a cooling capacity of 14,000 BTU (ASHRAE) / 12,000 BTU (SACC).

Q: Does this Whynter air conditioner have a sleep mode?

A: The specifications indicate that this air conditioner does not have a sleep mode.

Q: What is the maximum noise level of this portable air conditioner?

A: The maximum noise level is 56.5 decibels adjusted.

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.

Q: When the tank is full, how do I drain it? I heard from a review that I need a floor drain or to take the entire unit to a sink.

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.

Q: According to the pictures, that hose is suitable only for the vertical sliding window and will not work with the horizontal. Is it correct?

A: The window kit is designed for vertical and horizontally sliding windows.
