Customers recognize the ARC-14S portable air conditioner's excellent cooling performance and ease of installation. Many appreciate its energy efficiency, although some find it large and heavy. While some users report that the unit is quite noisy, others find the noise level acceptable. Concerns were also raised regarding the BTU output and the window kit's design.
Large unit, but very powerful. Easy to install and operate. The noise level is higher than my previous unit, but it also cools much faster.

look at my photo, i have 2 of these, the new one from BB is hooked up and working just a good as my first one that is 3 year old and still working great .. it cools my bedroom and can the whole 2nd floor of 4 bedrooms, you need to add a fan to push the cold out of the one bedroom ,, i plan to rotate use of 2 each summer now ,, so as to reduce wear and tear to each to last as long as it can .. here are tips if you look at my photo and read further, i made a stand so the ducts are as short as possible,, for best efficiency ,, tip #2 get 1/4" foam insulation and wrap around the hot exhaust tube with duct tape to hold,, tip#3 i made a wood window mount to screw and silicone the outlet connectors for a solid mount to easily install and remove.. tip#4 -drill a hole in stand for tubing to a pan under it for overflow water , but so far each summer ,, none has dripped out ,, since all condensing water is blown out the exhaust tube. Tip#5 before storing after summer ,, unit backwards to make sure the standing water inside is dumped out easily with the stand ,,

So far we've only needed our (master) bedroom to be cold and thats what it does. Our room is smaller than 500 sq ft, (apartment living yaaay. ) Some reviews mentioned that its loud but it's not like what i expected. The black box fan from Walmart is louder than this. It fit vertically in our window. The only eye sore is the hoses but its fine. Id rather be cold with an eyesore than melting with no ac. As for the setup, the boyfriend didnt want to mOvE tHe XbOx
