Does a great job

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 do not like it

Verified Purchase:Yes
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
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We love our Whynter Eco-friendly 12000 BTU

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!
I would recommend this to a friend!
