Whynter ARC-14S Portable Air Conditioner

Introducing the Whynter 14000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner.

It was a top seller last year and was recently upgraded ~ includes eco-friendly w/ R-410A refrigerant (RoHS compliant components).

Buyers say it’s one of the best dual hose portable air conditioner units.

The Whynter 14,000 BTU air conditioner is offered in 3 models:

Whynter ARC-14S: without heater
Whynter ARC-14SH: with heater
ARC-143MX: with antimicrobial filter

Each unit is a bit expensive, but is large-capacity and quickly cools rooms up to 500 sq. ft.

For my review I’ll focus on the Whynter ARC-14S air conditioning unit.

Whynter ARC-14S Review:

The Whynter ARC-14S air conditioner provides 5 modes of operation.

air conditioner, fan, dehumidifier, and heater

Some mixed reviews online, but overall it’s a top seller with high-power capability.

Buyers say it’s fast to set up and very effective in medium and large rooms — excellent for bedrooms because of its low noise.

In terms of power, it’s one of the best portable air conditioners for large rooms.

Room Size: 450 – 500 sq. ft.

Temp Range: 61°F – 89°F

Buyers say that it’s very good at cooling rooms with high ceiling very quickly and efficiently — many use it as their bedroom ac unit or in the main room of their house.

The Whynter portable ac is also great for high ceiling + open-home layouts.

With 14,000 BTU cooling power, it can cools areas by quickly circulating air evenly throughout the room.

Another benefit of the Whynter ARC-14S is the new dehumidifier — it can remove 100 pints of air moisture each day. (much more than similar ac units).

Dehumidifier: 100 pints daily

Buyers say it’s very efficient and using the remote control, can easily select the operation mode.

Whynter ARC-14S Air Conditioner Review:

The Whynter portable air conditioner comes with 2 types of air filters:

1.) Carbon air filter – when circulating air, this ac filter removes air contaminants, pollutants and dust.

2.) Reusable pre-filter – helps provide a secondary level of protection. It traps smaller airborne particles such as allergens (pollen, ragweed, and pet dander)

The Whynter portable air conditioner even includes a thermostat controller which lets your desired temperature.

On the LED screen you’ll see the current temp — you can set the new temp on the machine or using the remote control.

Buyers love that it’s a fairly quiet portable air conditioner.

On max power, the sound level will never go above 56 decibels — comparable ac units are well above 60 (even on low settings).

Because of its low noise, many buyers use it as their bedroom ac unit. Some even use it as a secondary ac unit.

Also comes with 3 fan speeds.
