 nice and cool August 16, 2010

This is the second portable A/C unit I have had to purchase in the past year but don't believe I'll be purchasing another for some time. My wife and I both love this unit. Our bedroom is larger than normal but the A/C is powerful enough to cool the entire room and it's virtually noise free, other than the air blower. Would definitely recommend this item to anyone.

This product started out really good. Alas, it went downhill quickly. After 2 days of use, it stopped cooling, so, my "maintenance guy" husband checked it out, it turns out you have to tip almost completely forward to make it drain, to get it to cool again. HUH?!!!
Since we have it in the work shop, and started it earier in the day, with nobody to check it, we wasted a lot of electricity getting it to blow warm air. So, we decide to send it back. Shipping cost us $105.00. Then, once the company got it back, they " claimed" the item wasn't defective... HUH??!! so I incurred a 15% restocking fee, of $104.00 ( as I agreed to in my initial purchase) So, I paid over $200.00 for lesson. ( thank goodness we can take it off our business expenses, because, I just don't have that kind of money to waste in my personal budget. I don't have that kind of money to waste in our business either, but, hey, live and learn.) The lesson from all of this is, "don't buy anything from Amazon that is heavy, shipping is ridiculous, and don't agree to a restocking fee at the company's disgression. buy only locally, and be sure you can return the item for a FULL REFUND!
 Way Louder Than Advertised and Unable to Cool July 15, 2010

This unit claims to have a 34 decibel noise level on low. Their idea of low is really Medium. I could hear this unit from another room through ear plugs. It could not even cool my 300 sq. ft. room to 78 degrees after running it 5 hours.
I contacted the company. They wanted to give me a rebate only if I kept the unit. I told them I could not keep it because it was lousy. They ended up canceling my rebate.
They have lost my business forever.
Nice little air conditioner June 29, 2010

This is a great little air conditioner. I was skeptical about buying a portable A/C due to the many complaints I've read about them, but due to the restrictions in my NYC co-op prohibiting window air conditioners, a portable was my only choice. I bought this to supplement the mediocre central air in my apartment, which is both too weak for the space it's supposed to cool, and not activated in time for the season's first heat wave. This usually happens in late April or early May and forces me out of my un-air-conditioned apartment for a few days.
I was able to hook this unit up quickly. I had to cut the plastic window assembly, which was too long for the width of my window, which was easy to do with a metal ruler and a utility knife. I also had to seal up the edges where the assembly meets the window frame, which I did by cutting some foamcore strips to the right width, covering them in black duct tape, taping them to the top and bottom of the plastic window assembly, placing the assembly in the window, and sealing the joins with more black duct tape. Using duct tape that matched the black window frame made it look neat and seamless. Aside from buying the materials, it took around 30 minutes total to get this out of the box, hooked up and working.
This unit emits a steady stream of freezing cold air, taking my apartment down from the 73-76 degrees provided by the building's unit to around 65-68, which I find much more comfortable. So far I've left it on most of the last 3 weeks and haven't had to empty it yet. The cooling is most effective near the unit, which I keep near my desk and bed, and less effective across the apartment in the kitchen, which is closed off allowing less circulation, and has a refrigerator emitting heat into the room.
The unit emits about the same amount of noise as a large fan. I find this easy to sleep to. Whether or not the compressor is on or off, the noise level is about the same. This unit is one of the smaller portable air conditioners I've encountered, which should make it easy to store in the winter.
Nicely designed and works like a champ. May 17, 2010

I absolutely adore the low profile design of this unit. It is very unobtrusive and compact. Don't let that fool you though, it cools like nothing else. The price and brand are definitely on the high end but so far it's earned every bit of it in my books. Here's a little trick that I use that actually saves me a small fortune in utility bills. I live and work in my apartment. I purchased 3 extra sets of window kits and basically installed them in the bedroom, study/den, living room and dining room windows. Once I wake up, all I do is unhook the unit, pull it to the next room with that very handy hidden pull cord and presto, hook it up and presto I'm all set for the next several hrs. Rinse and repeat as needed. Portable units are a great way to save over central air and this Whynter unit makes it very easy to do so. At the rate that I use Air conditioning, I'll probably make it all back in savings in a less than a year. Totally pleased with purchase.
