🌬️ Whynter Elite ARC-122DS 12,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier, Fan with Activated Carbon Filter & Storage Bag: Ideal for Rooms up to 400 sq ft, Multi-Purpose Review

I bought this device to use in a refill. It destroyed the tent on first use. I haven't stabbed it completely, but it's not quite right. I opened the unit and found that the inlet side of the "outer" inlet/outlet section is not sealed. It sucks in air from inside and blows it out as fast as it can cool it. I built a duct around the intake side using ABS sheet metal and aluminum vent and air conditioning tape. I sealed every part I could find and used one of the hose connections to make the…

Worked wonders for a week or two. Water then started seeping out from under the block so upon inspection they saw that water was leaking to all the wiring inside the block. Stopped using it immediately and contacted customer service to resolve the issue. They immediately emailed back asking for product info like serial number etc and then disappeared for the last 4 weeks. I've tried several times to get in touch and haven't received a reply to date. I wish I'd even bought an extended warranty…

The only problem with the drain is that it claims to evaporate 98% of the moisture through the hood. I am calling bs from this site. There is an option to move the block in or out of the drain and pull the plug out (which I did the first time) and about 12 ounces came out. Noted that the inner pan is quite small. I had to keep it running 24/7 without shutting down due to a full swamp. I took an old washing machine drain hose and cut it to about 18 inches. Drain the water into a 4 gallon Home…

I bought it based on reviews and was initially happy with it. However, now after 4 months it has failed and Winter wants me to send it to California (from Florida) for inspection/service. I can't believe this is the only option. Buyers beware if you ever need service. Update: After several email exchanges with Whynter CS my only option is really to have it shipped to CA at my expense. I do not have the original packaging, so I have to pay for the packaging of this item. After thinking about the

Came the next day after my sister's funeral. I had bronchitis and couldn't get over it but I had concerns when I looked at the box and saw the staples on one corner indicating it was a possible return. When I first plugged it in and turned it on, the return window had closed. I called Winter and told the rep that there was an E1 error code when I plugged it in. She informed me that it was a temperature sensor error and advised me to return the unit to where I bought it. When I told her that…

The main reasons I bought this device was its efficiency (EER=12) and the noise level. I am very satisfied with both the performance and the silence. All you hear is the fans making a nice white noise. The compressor runs very quietly and it's hard to tell if it's running or not. The device has a good design and its appearance does not spoil the look of my conference room. I have a window behind the projection screen so I was able to hide the hoses very well. I want the fans to idle when the…

Air conditioner (Whynter Elite ARC-122DS) failed in less than 8 months. The device was purchased to cool a small server cabinet and was selected for its two-hose function. For this purpose it worked well and I was happy with the device for a while. However, after about 7 1/2 months of operation, the unit inexplicably began to shut down and did not provide adequate cooling while in use. I contacted Whynter support to see if they had any advice and they advised me to remove the back cover to…

Purchased based on independent online reviews stating it was one of the best models on the market as of Summer 2017. Ordered on July 22nd and received on July 28th. , it replaced a Haier HPC12XCR-LW originally bought at Wal-Mart in 2014 or 2015 (can't remember). Here are the differences I noticed between the two devices: Portability: The 122DS is larger and about 20 pounds heavier than the Haier, I had a hard time getting a delivered package from my porch to my apartment by myself. The wheels…
