This air conditioner is very efficient and very easy to use. Additionally, for its size and power, it is pretty quiet. It cools the small bedroom it is used in quickly and keeps it that way!!

It cools great and is quieter than most. I just wish it would not build up so much condensation on the top.

I did a lot of research between portable air conditioners and wall units. I decided on this one due to its dual exhaust feature and I have to say that this works very good. I can switch between ac to fan easily and the fan by itself works well. Would recommend this.

After carefully reading the pros and cons of many different PAC's. I choose this one because it seemed the most bang for the buck. But after having it for over a month I ended up returning it because of poor craftsmenship and it didn't perform as advertised. The unit was louder than what was expected and leaked which I didn't notice until I went to return it. I was checking the filter and noticed that a good portion of the fins facing me on the radiator were crushed. I don't know why this unit was not rejected during the QC process at the factory. Because this unit is no longer sold on Best Buys website, I am now having to spend a hundred dollars more to get an equivalent PAC. I was willing to exchange the unit out because it basically did its job and give it the benefit of the doubt that the next unit would not be damaged and I really didn't want to spend more than I had too.

It's energy efficient, it's not excessively loud and cools quick. Only cools open spaces and doesn't cool around corners even if it's a small area where the a/c is at.

Works great! We have a tiny bedroom and this gets the entire room cold in 5-10 minutes. We live in socal and don't have central air. I also love the sound it makes, I need noise to sleep. We've had it for about a month now and use it every night.

The portable AC unit works like a charm. After I added a 20amp dedicated line it works even better! Easy to set up the window exhaust system is a bit flimsy, but works need to use some tape and insulation to make a better seal.

I bought this for my mom whose swamp cooling was't cooling off her bedroom but unfortunately it was too strong for her electric sockets. It kept shorting out the electricity through the whole house which is not a big place so I do not recommend this for a bedroom alone. Better suited for a living room area or bigger space

It works great in a family room !! It gets cold and is easy to put together. It is a little heavy so it stays stationary in my house.

The window panel for the removal of the hot ait is to small, when I called Whynter they said that about 50% of the products have to have the panels modified manual to fit a window.

This was my 4th attempt at a Whynter portable AC. After trying their 12k BTU AC/10k BTU heater 3 times only to receive 3 faulty models (vent wouldn't stay open) I decided to try this model.
It never cooled as well as my 10 year old LG of the same BTU's it kinda worked. Wouldn't recommend using dual hoses unless your unit is very close to the window. If the unit is any farther it seems to be choked for air. That being said the far left side of the vent doesn't push air out, making the air go out straight and right only.
Cooling power itself is underwhelming. Room is roughly 225 square feet and it struggled to keep the room cool with just a couple heat sources on (TV, computer, ps4).
1 star product in my opinion, but with all the trouble I had whynter's customer service people were friendly and helpful, so 2 stars overall.
