The Whynter ARC-13PG 13,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner is designed to provide quiet cooling in spaces up to 420 square feet. This single-hose portable AC cools, dehumidifies, or serves as a fan for comfortable air circulation. An automatic restart function, programmable timer, washable air filter, digital display, and remote control are all included in the Whynter Green ARC-13PG. The uniquely designed AC is most commonly used for bedrooms, garages, classrooms, and computer/server rooms.
The Whynter Eco-Friendly 13,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner is a high-energy-efficiency AC that cools while keeping with environmental standards and reducing energy consumption. It features advanced self-evaporating technology that uses and recycles moisture collected during the cooling process. This technology helps produce cool air and automatically exhausts condensate collected in most environments.
An alarm is located on the digital display to indicate when the washable air filter needs to be cleaned, ensuring your portable AC always runs efficiently. A 5 degree F temperature cushion saves energy and prolongs the life of your air conditioner. This portable AC runs on fan-only mode if you set the temperature within 5 degrees F of the ambient temperature.
A Sleep mode feature maintains a set temperature while in cooling mode, and then the temperature is gradually increased by 1 degree per hour, decreasing the noise level and conserving energy while you sleep. The air conditioner runs at the optimum comfort temperature when you select the Automatic mode. Depending on the ambient temperature, the unit automatically selects the cool or fan-only mode, with fan speeds varying with the temperature.
The Whynter ARC-13PG portable AC features a Turbo mode, which runs the air conditioner at its lowest temperature (61 degrees F) on high fan speed to quickly cool any area. If there is too much moisture in your space, simply turn the unit to Dehumidify-Only mode. You can delay turning the unit on or off with the timer function, which allows you to set your portable AC at a certain temperature and have it turn on (or off) anywhere from 1-12 hours in advance. Its auto restart function automatically restarts the AC at the previously set mode after a power outage.
With 13,000 BTUs of power, the Whynter Green ARC-13PG cools large spaces such as bedrooms, computer rooms, classrooms, and garages. Hot air must be exhausted out of the room in order for the unit to work properly, so the AC comes with a window kit and a 5-foot exhaust hose that connects through a window or wall hole.

Comments about Whynter Eco-Friendly 13,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner (ARC-13PG):
We purchased this model right after the East Coast heat wave in June. We needed something that would work with slider windows or doors since that's all the house has. The unit arrived as promised and was easy to unpack and set up, although we had to fill in the top of the door with something (we used foam core board) because the vent kit is a little short, but that's OK. The AC works GREAT and yes, we would purchase this item again.
The vent hose is wide enough to draw the heat outside so it is completely cool around the unit. We drained the the unit after about 5 days just to make sure it wouldn't overflow. There was maybe a quarter of a cup of moisture if that.
The only thing that is a bit odd is the venting collar that attaches to the window slide bar is slightly bigger than the slide bar piece, so it prevents the door from closing completely. We had to fill in around it. We have sliding glass dorrs that also have screens so we are able to keep the screen closed to keep bugs out.
And lastly, the directions say you can tell what mode the unit is in by the front panel display and to press the mode button to seslect the desired operation (AC, dehumidifier, fan). The display only notes the fan and its speed. If you use the remote all functions are displayed.
Overall, we are very happy with this unit!
