Q: How long is the window exhaust kit? Will it fit a 57 inch tall window that opens horizontally?
submitted by Extra tall window - 4 years ago
A: The included window kit is designed to fit most standard vertically or horizontally sliding windows and measures, 6.5" W x 20" L (minimum), 46" (maximum). <br><br> Since windows come in different sizes, some customization may be needed when installing the accessories. If the included solid window kit slide bar panels do not completely cover your window or door opening, most customers purchase an additional window kit and use both sets. Alternately, a customized longer solid slide bar panel can be made by cutting Plexiglas or PVC plastic to size to be used with the panel with the hose cut outs of the original window kit. <br><br>If you have additional questions, our Customer Support Team is available Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST at 1-866-WHYNTER (1-866-949-6837) and at support@whynter.com.

I love the unit as it is amazing!!! My central heat and air conditioner unit went out. I am purchasing the home from my siblings as it is the home we grew up in and the unit is 30 years old. I am getting a new one but I was about to have heat exhaustion!! My girlfriend lives in New York and had it but wasn’t using it. After the $129 shipping cost it arrived. I hook it up and it is AMAZING- it cooled my living room, my kitchen and the dining room. It even had the bedrooms semi-cool. The house is 2,200 feet. I was amazed that it cooled that many square feet. They said it would cover around 480 but I am telling you it did much, much more!! The temperature in the house was around 87 degrees inside and within around 30 minutes it had cooled it down to 68 degrees. I was suspicious about how well it would work but did it ever surprise me. I will tell you how much, this is the first review I have ever written in 54 years on earth. Buy buy buy!
Great, Reliable A/C

Yes, I would have traded my in unit CHU (compartmentalized housing unit) AC in Iraq for this in a heartbeat. I've owned it for 3 years to supplement a rooms AC that I have found tricky to balance properly. It works as advertised, is durable, and well made. Yes, it takes time to set up if it's not a permanent solution. And yes, there the drainage can leak if you don't secure the drain hose securely. But that's the concept of portability. It's heavy though but has some wheels. Use a hand truck if you need to go long distances. If you have an electric socket or extension cord to plug into, this will work anywhere and everywhere.

This kept my 800 sq ft loft on the 3rd floor, comfortable during the insane 118 degree heatwave last summer in Portland. Powerful and much better than a single hose. Buy this!

Does the job of keeping the area I bought it for cool. I am disappointed that it doesn't have a eco mode. So it just keeps running even when the room's set temperature is met. Also the vents that go in the window have nothing to prevent insects from getting in it. Which here is the south is a major issue.
1 reply from Whynter CS team - 3 years ago
Hi there, Thanks for your feedback regarding your air conditioner. The air conditioner has a 5° F temperature cushion; when reaching 5° F of the set temperature, the compressor shuts off but the fan runs continuously to circulate the air in the room to maintain the set temperature and prevent the compressor from running too frequently. Also, the window screen can be left in place to prevent insects from entering the unit. At Whynter, we constantly aim to provide superior products and a better customer experience. If you have additional questions or comments, please visit our website to contact our Customer Support Team, available Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST. We are here to provide support and ensure you will be satisfied with your Whynter product.

I like Whynter products in general but feel ripped off with this model. 1. No adjustable air vents 2. Air vents do not electronically close or move 3. The timer is hard to use 4. In general, the digital display is not user friendly This machine really sucks
Reliable and worth the money

I have had this air conditioner for a few years. I bought it because it was recommended by Consumer Reports due to its double hose intake and exhaust feature. I am so glad I did. It cools the whole downstairs of my home. Is continually cooling with so far no condensation.

Put it in the bedroom. It cools quickly and not too noisy. Will probablyput it downstairs next year where it will cool a larger space and get a smaller unit for the bedroom.

This item works very well it cooled my bedroom night & day no matter how hot it was outside.I live in the deep south of Mississippi & it can get really really hot. The only problem I had with this item was the draining system. Condensate water would build up quick.what I found helpful was elevating the unit,adding a hose used on a washing machine & placing the hose in a 5 gallon jug & it worked great after that.

I use this in vermont for the 600SF living area, third floor of a 4 floor building, unit works fine, its not too loud, but does not seam to have to cooling power of a 1200BTU window unit, go 14000BTU and this dual hose is key. Crazy how the single hose units suck out the cool air while pulling hot air from the outside in.
Fantastic!

Excellent cold, excellent heat, plus dehumidifier and fan-only for drying clothes. The dual vent ducts are large, but good quality, not flimsy. They are essential, so plan ahead. Read manual (which could be better). Heat/cool power is impressive, our unit is in (small) room, only runs briefly before desired temp is reached. Draws about 9 amps at 125 volts, max.

I have a raised ranch. I keep this in my smallest bedroom, my office, facing out into the hallway. It cools that whole side of the house. I have another larger Wynther model in my dining room facing the kitchen and it cools that whole half of the house too. I chose Wynther cause it doesn't have to be drained all the time when using it on air. It does a very good job and it is a nice size nd color.

I recently purchased the Whytner dual hose 12,000 btu . If your home is hot and you don't have A/C it's a must buy!!! It's easy to assemble and it will cool you're room less than 30 mins, I highly recommend this product , it's a bit pricey but worth every penny

Whynter is a good brand for portable air con units and this is no exception. The hose attachments are good, and so is the cooling! Was surprised to have this delivered within 2 days when the estimate was 5-10 days. Very impressed. The price was good and being able to return it to a bricks-and-mortar store if needed (which it isn't) were two big sellers for me. People seem pretty volatile in their reviews of air conditioners, but this is a good one, and Target delivered it well.
