Whynter 14,000 White ARC-147WF (10,000 BTU SACC) Dual Hose Cooling Portable Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier, and Fan with Remote Control, up to 500 sq ft

Does it make a room cold? Yes.Does it do it well? Kind of.Do any of the other advertised features work well or at all? Pretty much not at all.Remote has never worked. Compressor turning on and off is so loud it wakes me up at night. I have to keep the unit in an adjacent room to my bedroom and use an additional box fan to blow the cold air into the bedroom at night. There is no setting that allows the compressor to stay permanently "on" - even when set to the coldest possible temperature (i think low 60s?) my thermostat still reads around 67 and it shuts itself off.Heavy - I'm a big dude and I can move it alright but smaller folks or anyone physically disabled would find it super difficult. Panels that attach to the window are too short and no extras are provided. Does not have a lip or any other way to secure it to the window.Only reason this review isn't lower is because i have about 1200sq feet of home and if i leave this running in the main room and set up a couple fans for circulation, it takes care of the whole house just fine (it was 95F the last few days).Loud, obnoxious, poorly designed, remote doesn't work, install sucks, bad overall engineering for the UI/accessiblity, but it technically DOES do its primary task of making me not sweat to death.

This two-hose standalone portable air conditioning unit was the most powerful I could find on Amazon or any other online shopping site. It arrived very well packaged and in great condition. It took very little effort to get set up and works extremely well to cool my IT server room.It is mildly noisy but what else would you expect for a portable indoor air conditioner? It works very well and the remote is helpful for setting the temperature and modes.

When it works, it's fine, but it constantly has to be reset or it stops cooling. I bought it two years ago, and it only gerts used about two months of the year. Year one was fine. Year two was spotty. This is year three, and I just reset it for the fourth time in an hour.

I’ve had this unit for about 2 weeks now and it’s been working great. It’s more than enough to keep my bedroom below 70 degrees (while it’s 85+ degrees outside). This unit would also be great for a larger space, such as a living room.While it is loud, it does not have any intrusive sounds. The fan has a balanced white/pink noise distribution, although the powerful compressor literally shakes the unit when it turns on.My only complaint is that the remote does not work well from all angles (especially greater distances). If you make a change on the remote when it is out of range, the readout will update on the remote but not on the unit. For this reason, I often find it quicker to change the settings on the unit itself than to trust that the remote has translated everything accurately.

Cools alright but the carbon filter is a joke. So thin and cheep it not worth putting in there. I also had smoke come in the unit when there was a fire for a day.
