Whynter 14K BTU Dual Hose

texasgirl (USA) 8/4/2011 2:05 PM

I built a bar in my garage that is ~ 600 sqft. Now understand, it has walls and insulation but the exterior is corrugated tin and gets very hot. I started my journey of research to find a unit to make it comfortable. I looked at all sorts of options and spoke to several AC installers. Typically speaking, AC's are rated by the BTU's (12K BTU per 400 sqft) and I knew that 14K was not enough to cool down 600 sqft . I thought I would try it anyway because of the ease. When the unit arrived I took it out of the box, connected a few things, and turned it on (yes it is that easy). Just remember...there are two hoses in the back of the unit (intake and output). The output hose must be ventilated and the input needs to be left disconnected from the window. The intake is what pulls the air from the room, the unit cools the air, the cold air is blown back into the room and the hot air it vented out. That is basically how a unit (any AC unit) works. Contrary to my thoughts, it works great. It is not real loud (as some say it is). Even in July with 105° Texas heat and 98% humidity this unit will pull the temp down to a comfortable degree. It will take about an hour and a half but it is well worth it.

Whynter Portable A/C

This A/C was very easy to set up. The window kit is easy to use. It cools very well! Theres no instruction book but I did go online and typed in the info and found it! As follows: [...] Its shows ALL the info you will need. It is also very easy to move around on its casters even on carpet. As being a woman I needed this. I give it a 5 star because I got everything I expected. I got it set up by myself. If I move it goes with me. Well worth the money which I got at a good price compaired to others!

Used correctly, it works perfect

First off, Whynter shipped this air conditioner like it was a glass egg. The packaging was double boxed, and each box had double stacked cardboard making the packaging near invincible! From California to mid-west, ordered monday morning, received friday afternoon. I am using this air conditioner to cool a room that has approx. a continous heat output of around 10K BTU. I installed the air conditioner on a shelf so the cold air output acutually spits out its cool, conditioned air near ceiling level mixing in with the hottest air in the room first, and if ever used allows simple drainage of the water resevoir (never needed to drain yet). The extendable exhaust hose was opened up to its max length and exhausted out a window. The intake hose pulls air from another room with ambient air so as to not take any conditioned air out of the room and just exhaust some of it out. I set this air conditioner on 78 degrees and the lowest (of 3, high, med, low) fan setting and it keeps the room perfectly cool. This air conditioner took almost no time at all to cool a room that is constantly 98-100 degrees and approx. 960 CUBIC feet. down to a continuous 75 degrees in every corner of the room. For the over zealous, the engineering on the shape of this air conditioner is everything I had been searching for also. The sides are a perfect perpendicular/parallel, smooth rectangular shaped that 'could' be mounted in between a wall also, making it very easy to 'seal' the cold air business section in the room and the rest of the A/C on the outiside of the rooms wall. I am very satisfied with this air conditioner and it has met and exceeded my expectations.

Cools very well. Pleasing design.

First time user of a portable air conditioner. Desperately needed some cooling in my west facing apartment. I simply refused to get us an obsolete window air conditioner. I'll admit that I didn't quite know how to operate the unit, I thought that all you would do is to plug it in and it would magically cool the area. I wasn't quite getting the cooling I hoped for and called Whynter tech support to figure out what was wrong. They were nice enough not to laugh at me for not hooking up the exhaust hose to vent the hot air. I basically left the unit running in the room and allowed all the heat to vent into the room from the back of the unit. Connecting the window kit and exhaust was a simple setup and after 10 mins, I started noticing a real change in the temperature. The unit runs fairly quiet, but being impatient, I set the fan to maximum and like any fan you can hear it. I'll take some noise over the heat, any day or night. Not too bothersome for me, but it's obviously not Dyson Air Multiplier silent. The unit weight over 70lbs so it's not easy to carry up stairs. You'll need two people to get that done. Otherwise, I'm more than satisfied with the product and it is by far superior to window units in every aspect but compactness. I would still get another portable if I ever had to. Good item in by books.

This unit is quiet.....powerful, and with the fact it has dual hoses....one for intake, and one for exhaust....is quite the thing.... Not sucking out any of the conditioned air....and creating negative pressure. It`s pricey.....but worth it.
