Whynter - 400 Sq. Ft. Portable Air Conditioner - Platinum

The unit can be a bit noisy when the compressor is running as it's louder than the fan on any setting. It's not just this specific unit, I have two of these from different sources Other than that, I'm quite happy with the unit. LIKES: * Remote control * Timer (1-8 hours to On, if off, or 1-8 hours to Off, if already on) * Digital temperature setting * No need to empty water (in AC mode) * Casters let you roll it easily DISLIKES: * A bit loud * Large "wall-wart" plug due to embedded breaker (which is a good thing, it just takes up space) * Exhaust hose window kit not long enough for full-height left/right sliding windows - I ended up ordering another kit and using its parts to extend the length. Window kit part # is ARC-WK-12SP I WISH IT HAD: * Vertical adjustment for the vent - it only lets you adjust output a few degrees left/right (which you could do by simply turning the unit)

OK. I hemmed and hawed about this purchase. I'm glad I pulled the trigger. It's an excellent energy efficient unit. It's fairly quiet for an air conditioning unit. My only complaint, is that the fan never shuts off. There isn't a "power saver" mode like window units have. If it had that feature I would have given it 5 stars.

I was excited to get this unit. I had done some research and it was rated in the top ten. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time to cool down a medium size room. It is also moderately loud which is a problem because I have it set up in my family room. We have to turn the tv volume up in order to try and drown out the noise. Very disappointed in this product!!!

I bought this product a few weeks back and it works as intended. I use this in my Master Bedroom and works flawlessly. Takes 15-20 mins to bring down the temp from 72-73 to 68 in the summer. Makes little more noise than the other ones (Honeywell) but it's not annoying.

It was very stylish but took a long time to cool my small bedroom. I was hoping it would cool my bedroom and a hallway with it being 12000 btu but my 5000 BTU kicked out cooler air than this. Maybe it was just a dysfunctional machine I got, but I returned it and bought a 5000 BTU for just the bedroom, a Haier A/C. Hopefully this does the trick. Best of luck

Does the job for me - bedroom use with air conditioning on hot nights and fan on moderate nights. Fit my expectations (ie I did not expect this mobile fan to act like central air conditioning so am happy with it). Cools down the room fairly quickly. Have not yet found the tube to get warm like other reviewers.

My husband and I are no longer able to get the window units in so we decided to go with the portable air conditioner. We researched online and decided on this brand based on the reviews it received. The only advantage is that it is portable and can be moved from room to room!

To new to properly review performance. But, is attractive and was easier to install than previous, similar machine bought elsewhere. However, wish that window fixture opening was oval share rather than circular....therefore less intrusive/offensive to Condo-Commandos!
