Whynter ARC-148MS 14,000 BTU (10,300 BTU SACC) Portable Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier with Activated Carbon SilverShield Filter, up to 500 sq ft

Great machine. Cools our bedroom nicely. The problem: our bedroom outlets are on a 15 amp circuit and this unit pulls 11 amps. We are older, so we also have oxygen concentrators and a C-pap. In the middle of the night, the breaker often flips, shutting down all our nighttime machines. We've hired an electrician to rewire the room with a 20 amp breaker with new wiring that can handle the extra load, but had I purchases a machine that pulls less amperage, that too would have fix the situation. This is why I gave it 4 stars. If you have the power, the machine works extremely well.

Honestly it's a good unit. My only qualm is the case on left side of the machine looks forced on. With plastic defects visible on the outside of the case. It's abit noisy. It has what I hear as a chatter to it while running. It was a while before I could have it installed. To exchange and return period ended.

I bought this when we had an extremely hot spring and summer. Hooked it up and it did a great job supplementing my central air conditioning

Bought for an exceedingly hot upstairs bedroom when overnight guests were expected. It did the job quite nicely. The room is 10x15 and it cooled down significantly in a few hours.The guests noted that it was fairly quiet and more like white noise than annoying. It was easy to set up and easy to regulate. The window install was easy enough but some sort of insulating rubber foam strips would be welcome to better seal the outside vent. The unit does move, but is heavy so I find moving it on thick carpet takes a little effort. Overall I am glad we bought it.

Yesterday, here in the US Poconos, it was humid in my home. So instead of suffering I took the cover off my new portable A/C unit , that I thought I wouldn't need any longer this year, and was reminded of how nice this thing is. I upgraded to this 14K BTU unit this season. It does a great job, even with my sky chalet type ceiling. I loved how the listing showed the actual BTU's as opposed to the listed BTU's. I love how the vent swings up and down slowly to circulate the air. I love how quiet it is. I love how the hose is assembled without a screwdriver. and stays put in the back when you need to adjust the unit. I love the extension on the window piece that actually covers my entire vertical window opening. (The window opens horizontally so the opening is longer.) Plus it's not very noisy. I also appreciate this review request was just now sent to me, giving me time to use it and to get to know the pros and cons. Not 2 weeks after I got it where everything is always peachy.

Purchased this a month ago and it is very cool and gets the whole room cooled. Completely satisfied with this portable A/C.

We have been using this unit for about three weeks now and it works well. I really like the vent hose connections and the ease with which they attach to the window spacer. This was the hottest July on record in southern New England and this A/C unit was a part of how we got through the heat waves. Thanks

I bought this for my daughter's college apartment. Set up was very easy. I had to trim one of the panels. I was able to trim it easily using tin snips. The only problem I encountered was that the exhaust tube is not long enough. My daughter's apartment is partially below ground so the windows are high up. I had to elevate the unit using 2 milk crates. There should be an option for a longer hose or a hose extender.

I bought this air conditioner last July and my family is enjoying it, especially my wife loves it because it keeps our warm living room which faces west cool.

I am happy with the product, it's quiet and does the job quickly.
