The dual-hose design of this Whynter ARC-12SDH 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner and 11,000 BTU heater enables high-speed cooling, so you can quickly achieve a comfortable temperature. Digital controls and a remote simplify operation.
Posted by: Austin
I am a college student in central Iowa living in a house that is roughly 100 years old. This being said, the insulation is below par and we also do not have central air conditioning. To top it all off, the bedrooms are on the second floor and the month of August can put a damper on our studies due to the overwhelming heat.
In search of an air conditioner/heater that could keep up with the lack of insulation, as well as be portable enough for my mobile life; I found comfort in the Whynter 12,000 BTU air conditioner/11,000 BTU heater. I needed a product that could keep my 400 sq. ft. room cold in the early fall, as well as warm in the winter months. Before having this air conditioner my bedroom temperature resided at a balmy 82 degrees. Once I purchased this product I was able to actually enjoy the functions of my room.
The design of the unit is practical and relatively easy on the eyes. It can blend fairly well in any type of room setting and also has the benefit of being moderately quiet. Also, the unit has rollers beneath, which allows easy transportation around a room as needed.
Installation was a cinch; the package comes with everything required to accommodate relatively any room situation. The venting hoses were plenty long enough and the window venting kit was easy to install into my window. Overall installation time was roughly 15 minutes.

Pros:
1.) Cools my 400 sq. ft. room rapidly and with ease (takes roughly 30 min to cool.)
2.) Relatively light considering the alternative (window air conditioner.)
3.) Versatility (Air conditioner, fan, heater, and dehumidifier.)
4.) Remote control is accommodating when doing homework across the room.
5.) Relatively quiet (able to run the machine at night and sleep well.)
6.) Able to turn the unit on/off multiple times a day to cool my room quickly.
Cons:
1.) The units drainage system is a bad design (water accumulates quickly.)
2.) The digital info screen is bright at night (unit is close to my bed.)

In conclusion, the Whynter dual hose portable air conditioner is easily the best product for your money. After researching and now being able to use the unit, I have found out that I made a knowledgeable choice. I have only had the unit for about two months but have no issues to complain about. The most convenient aspect of this unit is the fact that I can cool my 400 sq. ft. room down rapid in order to be productive quickly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
