🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.

Both reviewers highly praised the cooling capabilities of the Whynter portable AC, highlighting its ability to drastically lower room temperatures quickly and effectively even in large spaces. They found that although this unit is more cumbersome to move than some smaller models, it is more powerful, and made with sturdy, high-quality materials. The overall performance of this unit exceeded expectations, however some improvements were recommended for the user experience, including a better remote control and a more adaptable window kit.

Pros

  • 🌬️ Exceptionally strong cooling capacity, effective even in larger spaces
  • 💪 Solid build and materials, offering durability
  • 🔊 Low humming noise, non-intrusive and tolerable for most users
  • 📐 Adjustable exhaust allows for multiple placement configurations

Cons

  • 🕹️ Remote control lacks functionality, is not two-way, and has limited range of operation
  • 🔩 Window kit feels lower quality than the rest of the product and is not easily adjustable
  • 🛢️ Size and weight of the unit limits its portability

Should I Buy It?

If you are looking for a powerful and effective portable AC to cool a larger space, the Whynter portable AC could be an excellent choice. Despite the size and the user experience improvements suggested, this unit offers a high level of performance and well-constructed design for reliable cooling. However, if portability is a main concern or you are planning to use it in multiple different rooms with different window sizes often, the window kit issue might be something to consider.

    • AC Repair
Style: AC Unit Only
My fiance, Steph and I purchased the unit in late 2022 and it worked pretty well for our downstairs living room space. However, after moving in late 2023, the main power control board stopped working, possibly due to our movers not treating our appliance carefully. We did not attempt to use the unit again until the summer of 2024 and to are dismay, the unit would not turn on. We emailed the manufacturer to try to order the missing part, but were told it would be difficult to diagnose without taking the unit in for repair at their service center. Despite being past the warranty period, Jof Y., made an exception for us and they were able to repair the unit at no cost to us. Customers: before attempting to drop off your repair unit at their repair center, please make sure you email them and you need to have an appointment with the barcode printed out beforehand. You also have to make sure to drop it off during their service hours, which are only 2 days out of the week. This allows the technician the remaining 3 days dedicated to repairing your unit in a timely manner. Once you pull up and ring the bell, the technicians come out to help you unload the unit from your vehicle. It truly appears that they have thought of everything from start to finish when it comes to a repair process. We were given a weak turnaround estimate time and that is exactly when our unit was ready by. Now that we have the unit back, and we are using it in our bedroom instead, it brings the entire room to ice cold temperatures. There have been no issues at all whatsoever with the repair and it still works easily with the remote control. The setup itself is pretty standard and straightforward. The unit does have to stay close to the window due to the tubes not being super long, but that is a long-term benefit because it allows the air to remain colder for the room because there's less travel involved. It also does not need to be emptied out for water constantly, like other AC units. It is a little loud but not obnoxious or anything. Overall we are so glad we went with this brand because of the repair center service, how easy the process was and how customer service oriented rep who helped us was, Jof Y. From start to finish, Jof responded to all the emails that my fiance, Steph, sent within a 12 hour turnaround time, which is just incredibly fast and more importantly, consistently. Usually manufacturers do not reply at all, much less this quickly. Most AC units work pretty similarly but it makes such a difference when the customer service is so stellar.

Style: AC Unit Only
First of all this air conditioner changed our lives! When I first was in the market for a portable air conditioner I was very careful to research, research, and research. Yes I was slightly uneasy about ordering an air conditioner online, but called Amazon directly and asked about my options if after I purchased it and it didn't work well for us about the return policy's. Amazon ensured that if it didn't work out then I would be able to return it in its original packaging and because of its size they would have a shipping company come pick it up which I thought for a return they would try to make it as hard as possible to return. So Amazon is a win win in my eyes. My only issue was that this is listed as a Prime eligible product and with my limited Prime knowledge I assumed I would receive it in 2 days which I didn't. I took about 5 so that was a little disappointing. I am very glad I purchased this earlier than the summer or we would have been in trouble just in waiting in a hot house on this thing. Back to the unit… So set up was easy. I allowed for it to sit in an upright position overnight only because I was unsure how the shipping company handled it and wanted to be sure I did everything in my power to continue its longevity. (This is also listed in the directions) The hose connections were easy enough and because I have a taller horizontal sliding window I had an opening that I had to fill with particle board which wasn’t too hard to do. After I set it up I plugged it in and let it sit. The set up pamphlet does recommend buying a special filter to put into one of the hoses which honestly I haven’t done because I haven’t made an honest attempt to find them which I am sure you could at a Home Depot or Lowes. From what I have heard you can also buy insulation tape to cover the hose that produces a lot of heat, but this hasn’t been a problem for us. The Cooling… The cooling is pretty amazing. After reading several reviews I second guessed my decision about purchasing it because it seems like people have great success or great failure. However on our end this AC has cooled our lower level 2 story house amazingly!! Our house is less than 15 years old so it is insulated pretty good, but because our house is North facing we get most of our heat in the back of our house. This cooler sits in the front and cools a vaulted ceiling living room, kitchen and small dinning, hallway, and half way cools the master bedroom on the same floor. All of this area is about 1200 sqft give or take. I originally purchased this to cool the living room, kitchen, and dinning room, which is all open floor plan about 420-450 swft btw, but it cooled even more than I expected. To keep track of the temperature I tried looking on my thermostat for my Heater and it was almost always higher than what it really was I am guessing because it wasn’t cooler in other places in my house. It even kept us cool in 100+ degree weather. It was about 109 outside and the cooler kept it about low to mid 70 in the living, dining, and kitchen. As a side note we purchased a Frigidaire 5,000 BTU 115V Window-Mounted Mini-Compact Air Conditioner that cools a room upstairs and we usually leave the door open just in case it will help with the over all vaulted ceiling space. The Frigidaire is rated for a small room of 250 sqft so I don’t think it is helping too much with the living space, but so you have the full facts to make an informed decision I just wanted to add that in there. This unit is also great and I plan on writing a separate review for this one. However the sum up on the cooling factor for the Whynter is awesome!! We have owned it since the end of May so I can’t speak for its longevity so only time will tell. It is totally worth purchasing for sure! Con’s Honestly these con’s don’t really matter to me because the AC works so well, but I will add them in case they matter to you. As for the noise, yes it is loud. My house usually isn’t pitch quite so it doesn’t really bother me, but if you think about it there is an AC in your house! Central air conditioners are put outside for a reason. THEY ARE LOUD! So to me this doesn’t really stop me from using it. My dish washer is very loud, but you don’t see me scrubbing dishes by hand so I don’t have to hear the noise. Same goes with any other loud appliance in my house. Maybe if it was loud and didn’t cool my house I’d have a problem. The vent on the AC is nothing to be impressed with. I have read that the vent shoots the air straight up. I don’t seem to have that problem. Yes there aren’t very many ways you can control where the air goes, but you can direct it up and down. If you don’t want it shooting straight up you can move it down a notch and it isn’t. Not sure if people thought this would prevent max air flow, but we don’t seem to have a problem. Now the remote is another problem. I have read that if you use the remote you have to keep using the remote because if you switch to the buttons on the unit the remote doesn’t know what the unit knows. This is very true and annoying. However because of where I have the unit positioned behind my couch the remote can’t find the signal to the unit because it is blocked so we pretty much don’t use the remote. Again, not an issue for me because the unit works so well and the only reason I have to push a button is to turn the unit on or off. Not an issue. As for draining due to the dehumidifier. We live in a dry state with low humidity so this hasn’t been a problem. No sure how I would drain it if I needed to, but I have found plenty of YouTube videos on this unit so I am not concerned about it at this point. Portability. Now this is a portable unit per say, but it isn’t really practical to roll around the house for us. I initially thought we could use it for our open floor plan area by day and in our master by night, but to move this, then refit for a different sized window and then do it all over again and again every morning and night it would be a pain in the butt. However if we leave our master bed room door open it cools down enough to be comfortable instead of otherwise sweating as we did before. This AC really did above and beyond what I expected! Now would I recommend this to others?? Heck yes!! It does a great job cooling and we turn it on early in the day so that it keeps the house cool and we don’t have to worry about being uncomfortable. I am able to cook and this AC still can keep the house cooler and us comfortable. We are able to cook/bake for short amounts of time and still be comfortable in 90+ degree weather, but in the 100+ degree weather we found cooking is not an option if we want to stay comfortable and not sweat. We also have blackout curtains and blinds that help to insulate the heat which makes a huge difference so for those that this AC is not working for I would question placement of the unit as well as how insulated your house is not just in between the walls but for window coverings too. We found that using brown colored vertical blinds blocks out the heat way better than the white ones did. I also suggest another unit portable or window-mounted unit to help work together with this unit. If you want a cooler house and don’t want to foot out the bill for central air you should think about other ways to keep it cool because even 2 of these units would be cheaper than central air for us! Hopefully you find your solution because this was it along with the Frigidaire 5,000 BTU 115V Window-Mounted Mini-Compact Air Conditioner for us!!! Good luck and sorry for the unorganized review! ... show more
