  • Key Specs
    • Recommended Room Size: 500 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: 8884.5 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.)
    • ASHRAE Cooling Power: 14000 british thermal units (The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) rates the cooling power, or capacity, of portable AC units based on their effectiveness in cooling a single room as intended. Prior to 2017, this was the accepted standard used for comparison with other types of AC units. However, it did not accurately reflect the cooling power as it did not account for the heat emitted from the unit that would circulate back into the space. The Department of Energy (DOE) Seasonally Adjusted Cooling Capacity (SACC) standard is now used to determine appropriate BTU ratings of portable AC units.)

    • Remote Control: true
    • Integrated Heater: false
    • Sleep Mode: true (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.

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): 7.07 (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.)

A: The maximum noise level is 52 decibels adjusted.

Q: Does this portable air conditioner come with a window venting kit?

A: Yes, a window venting kit is included with this portable air conditioner.

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

A: This Whynter air conditioner has a cooling capacity of 500 square feet.

A: This unit features a 24-hour programmable timer that allows you to regulate the indoor climate even when you're away.

Q: Does this air conditioner have a washable filter?

A: Yes, this air conditioner comes with a washable filter for easy maintenance.

Q: Dual Hose system

A: A dual hose system is the only type of portable a/c to consider. This is why. A/C units work in two parts, condenser and evaporator. The condenser is normally outside and the evaporator inside. Air flows through the condenser and cools the hot Freon which then goes to the evaporator and is expanded which makes it cold. Room air circulates through it and cools your room. The hoses are for the condenser side or hot side. With two hoses outside air comes in and passes through the condenser and is expelled outside as hot air from cooling the condenser Freon. In a single hose system the room air is passed through the condenser and expelled outside. This is not very efficient as your wasting your conditioned air to cool the condenser then venting the hot air overboard. This also causes a negative pressure which will cause hot outside air to be sucked into the room through every crack to equalize the pressure.

Q: Can the window hose kit installed in 16" horizontal window?

A: The window kit is designed to fit most standard horizontally or vertically sliding windows. The included window kit measures, 6.5" W x 20" L (minimum), 46" (maximum). If it is too large for your window, the kit can be cut to size. We are happy to provide any technical support or product information.

    Great Unit!

    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.

    a win - win for me

    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 ,,

    Does the job

    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
