- Key Specs
- Recommended Room Size: 350 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: 8000 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.)

- Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio (CEER): 15 (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.)

Q: What is the BTU cooling rating of this air conditioner?
A: This air conditioner has a BTU cooling rating of 8,000 BTUs.
Q: Does this air conditioner have a filter indicator light?
A: Yes, this unit has a filter indicator light.
Q: What is the minimum window opening width for this air conditioner?
A: The minimum window opening width is 23 inches.
A: The WhisperTech 8000 BTU unit draws 6.8 amperes when the voltage is 115. Watts, voltage, and amperage are interrelated. Watts/Voltage = Amps, so Amps x Voltage = Watts. And Watts/Amps = Voltage. These are all measurements of electricity. Voltage is a measurement of the electric potential or "pressure" at which electricity flows through a system. Amperage is another way to measure the amount of electricity running through a circuit. Amperage is the "rate" that current is flowing through the circuit or the number of electrons moving through the wire. Google "volts, amps and watts" for more information.
Q: What does the inverter technology add to this air conditioner
A: A typical AC compressor turns on/off to control temperature. Not efficient. An Inverter AC has a variable speed system to control temperature. Keeping the compressor running. More efficient.

Great window AC - I rate it an A+
I've had the Windmill WhisperTech 8K BTU Smart Window AC for 2 months now, could not be more pleased. I ordered with ease online at Best Buy. Arrived on time. It is packed to perfection similar to Apple products. Well-written installation manual. The unit is good looking, it looks like an expensive flush mounted speaker once installed, sleek and beautiful. Installation took about 45 minutes. You need two people, primarily just to steady into the window for safety reasons. You do the entire installation from inside the window. No need to go outside. If you are on the 40th floor downtown, no problem. It comes with attractive side panels and insulation for an attractive "custom" professional fit. The Smart Phone app works perfectly to operate the unit from anywhere. Very quiet. Pushes cold air out beyond the room installed in. Easy to clean the filter about twice per month with a rinse of warm water. The attractive front grill comes off easily and can be custom painted with non-toxic paint to match your decor. My unit is in a bedroom and close to the head of the bed (see photos). The air disperses at a 45 degree angle so you don't have the cold air blowing directly on you. No worry about this unit blowing circuit breakers, as it only draws about 6 amps. It's "Energy Star" certified, which may qualify for a rebate with your electricity provider. 15 SEER rating. I'm already saving 25% on my electric bill and just got started. I have a Central AC unit that struggles to cool the west side of my home in the afternoon and early evening in June, July & August in Oklahoma. This unit solved that problem immediately. Customer service is also outstanding. I have emailed their customer service with a couple of questions and both times received an answer within 15 minutes. Trust me, I researched every window AC unit thoroughly for two months before this purchase. Windmill beats all others. Comparable in price to other units or slightly higher. It's worth it. Totally worth it. You will be so happy and have peace of mind and thankful when you lower your energy costs.

Smart, quiet, and beautifully cool!
This is hands down the best and most beautiful air conditioner I have ever owned. I installed it myself, emphasis on myself, although I do recommend following the safety manual’s advice and using two people. It is whisper quiet, my plants barely noticed it turned on, and the design actually adds to the room instead of making it look like a tech warehouse. I love the three smart modes, Fan, Cool, and Eco, and how easy it is to schedule everything in the app. I set mine to run fan-only at night, Eco in the morning, and Cool during the midday heat. As a bonus, I even scheduled around my city’s peak electricity hours (5 to 9 PM) and my summer bill only went up about $4. The convenience is fantastic, too. I can use the physical remote when I’m nearby or adjust settings from anywhere in my home using the mobile app. That is comfort with conscience and smart design. Thank you, Windmill, for finally making an AC that is both brainy and beautiful. Highly recommend!

Windmill WhisperTech - easy installation & quiet
The Windmill - WhisperTech 8,000 BTU was an easy installation, as mentioned in The Wirecutter review. I appreciated that no exterior supports are needed. My wife is sensitive to the louder sounds of most window air conditioners, and she has no problem sleeping with the Windmill on all night. It is the perfect solution for our bedroom.
