Product Overview

I recently purchased the Whynter ARC 14S Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner and I must say that it is one of the best purchases I ve made for my home. My apartment can get pretty hot during the summer months, and this air conditioner has really helped to keep it cool and comfortable. The 14,000 BTU ASHRAE / 9,500 BTU SACC cooling capacity is powerful enough to cool down a 500 square feet space in no time. It also has dual hose operation, so the air is circulated much more evenly throughout the room.

The air conditioner also comes with a remote control that makes it easy to adjust the settings from anywhere in the room. I like that I can easily switch between cooling mode, fan mode, or dehumidifying mode depending on what I need. The noise level at 56 dBA is also quite low, so it doesn t disturb me when I m trying to sleep at night or when I m watching TV.

What I really like about this product is that it is very energy efficient and Eco friendly too. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio SEER of 7.69 means that you won t have to worry about sky high electricity bills during the summer months. It also uses CFC free Green R 32 refrigerant which helps to preserve our environment.

The assembly of the air conditioner was also quite simple and straightforward as all of the parts were included in the package. It came with window installation accessories, remote control, an activated carbon air filter, washable pre filter, and a storage cover bag with pocket everything you need!

Overall, if you are looking for a powerful portable air conditioner that is energy efficient and easy to use then the Whynter ARC 14S Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner is definitely worth considering. It does a great job of cooling down a large room quickly and efficiently while still being quiet enough not to disturb your peace and quiet. It has been one of my best home purchases so far!
