gets cold

I like it though it is obvious that it doesn't put out the same 14,000 BTU as a window air conditioner would and not quite as efficient either. It does get cold but not really meant for huge spaces; it can't handle the area as well as an window air does. However, it was the only option for me currently with bars on all the windows. I live in Tijuana so bars are a common thing here (try to keep the thieves out).Read full review

disappointed

90 degrees outside, 85 degrees inside, temperature only went down 2 degrees, after 24 hours of running, 300 sq ft room. have to use an additional fan to push cooling from unit. unit never reaches set temperature. I purchased this based on the majority of good reviews on other sites.
In my opinion, not worth all of the good reviews on the net. buyer beware.
the only plus I can say is the vent kit was well designed and constructed.

Whynter ARC-14S 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioning unit

I am very pleased with the Whynter ARC-14S portable air conditioner.
Quality build, extremely efficient and quiet. Any person looking to cool their home should take a close look at this unit. I could go on and on to sing the praises of this unit. The unit can speak for itself. According to the manufacturer every ARC-14S unit that is shipped out is supplied with an included accessories box that includes all one needs to get the unit up and working in no time.
Highly recommended!! Though individual units might be pricey to some, the extra expense is well worth the price tag as these units are the most efficient portable A.C. units I have found or used.

Not perfect, but it works!

It's big, heavy, and the included window kit is not the best, but it cools down the room on a hot summer day. I'm happy.

Better than a heavy window AC!

This is my second Whynter ARC-14S Air Conditioner. It makes a lot more sense to have a portable AC on wheels that can be pushed to a window than one that is heavy that needs to be lifted into the window. Especially for older people. We don't have central air so one of these at each end of the house is great in the summer .Read full review

This machine does... NOISE

The Whynter ARC-14S portable AC makes noise over cold. It was a massive disappointment: It is impossible to stay in the same room as this machine. Forget it in a bedroom (was my project) except if your deaf or want to become so. To give an idea it does about half the noise of a land mower or a power generator. Horrible experience. Not least the giant used water like hoses are huge and horrible. Nobody with a decent sense of design would put this horror in any place but in an ugly garage...Read full review

You pay for the best.

The quietest, safest and coldest portable AC unit. It does take up some space but it doesn't matter because at the end of the day you're looking for something that will keep you cool, will not make too much of a fuss and will not kill you. Energy use wise it is not going to save you money when compared to traditional fans but you want quality cold. Why have several fans going when you can have one great portable AC powerhouse.Read full review

Loving it so far

I’ve got an older ( 90 yrs) home …most of the windows haven’t been replaced and I can’t afford central air.
To my surprise the air conditioner is larger than I thought that it would be, but, so far it’s doing the job of cooling my bedroom perfectly. I’m getting another one for my family room.Read full review
