    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.

    Best Portable AC under $500

    I have a 2013 version of this Whynter ARC and just bought this newer model two months ago. The 2013 model still holds up like a champ! It was mainly used at my apartment for 4 years. Moved into a house this year and purchased this unit for our upstairs bedroom. I was amazed the 2013 unit survived the move as it was not a smooth ride! It simply holds up. The model you get today has a few improvements. The vibrant blue LED auto shuts off after about 3 min which is appreciated. The unit itself is noticeably quieter, although it's still not whisper quiet (It's a portable AC so know what to expect), my fiance & I had no issues sleeping through summer nights with it running. Most importantly, it disperses cold cold air & does so very well in a living room or large bedroom. Easy to set up w/replaceable filter & looks great. 2013 model purchased from Amazon. 2017 purchased through Best Buy. Both delivered without issue. Deserves my highest recommendation.

    Whynter ARC-14sh is very quiet

    The Whynter ARC-14sh is very quiet and puts out a lot of cold air. IT is ideal for a single room. Warnings 1. the window installation kit is more involved than indicated. In order to get a tight, bug-free installation, it is necessary to use weather-stripping around the window kit. 2. The warranty requires that you ship the air conditioner back to Whynter, postage-paid

Questions & Answers

  • Does this unit function as a heat pump or is it resistance heat only?

    This unit functions as a heat pump. It relatively quiet. On the heat setting it uses less energy by about 250 watts.

    Answered by Trickyricky

  • How much power is this supposed to use? Ive had it for one small room for a month and it increased my power bill by a lot.

    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
