Info & Guides

Description

The Whynter 14,000-BTU Dual-Hose Portable Air Conditioners have an eco-friendly design that is gentle on the environment and your budget. Their quiet operation and powerful cooling power make them a top choice for keeping up to 500 square feet comfortable all year. In fact, it recently received high ratings from a top consumer reporting agency.

 

No matter which you choose, cooling only or cooling & heating, these models also include 2 filters: a pre-filter to catch dust and other particles and an activated carbon filter for removing odors. 

What Is a Dual-Hose Portable AC?

A dual hose portable air conditioner comes with one air intake hose and one air exhaust hose, the air intake hose pulls air into the portable air conditioner from the outside to cool off the compressor and condenser coil. The hot air generated from the air conditioner is then expelled out the exhaust hose.

Eco-Conscious Construction

In keeping with Whynter’s Go Green Mission, Whynter Dual-Hose Portable Air Conditioners have minimal environmental impact. For ecological cooling, these portable air conditioners use a CFC-free refrigerant and contain lead-free RoHS compliant components.

Both models feature auto drain technology, which uses recycled moisture to enhance the cooling process. This patented auto drain function fully exhausts all condensate automatically in most environments. With dual-hose operation, this portable air conditioner cools your space faster and reduces energy consumption.

Various Operating Modes

Choose the model that best suits your needs with 3 or 4 independent operating modes, these Whynter dual-hose portable AC's give you more bang for your buck.

  • Cool Mode: 14,000 BTUs (ASHRAE)/8,500 BTUs (DOE Standard) of cooling power make this a powerful option to cool your home. When used as a cooler, the portable air conditioner exhausts hot air out of a room window through an exhaust tube and the window venting kit.
  • Dehumidifier Mode:  Air is dehumidified as it passes through this portable AC. It removes up to 101 pints of excess water per day.
  • Fan Mode: Circulate air with 3 fan speed settings—low, medium, and high.
  • Heat Mode: When you select the model with heat, you'll enjoy 13,000 BTUs of heat per hour.

  • Easy Portability: Rolling casters make it easy to move your Whynter 14,000-BTU Portable Air Conditioner from room to room.
  • Programmable Timer: A 24-hour programmable timer allows for easy, set-and-go operation. Adjust the timer to turn your AC on or off up to 24 hours in advance.
  • Auto Shut-Off: When the water tank is full, the warning light will illuminate on the control panel and the compressor will automatically shut down until the tank is emptied.
  • Carbon Filter: This activated carbon filter removes smoke and other odors from your space. 
  • Washable Pre-Filter: A washable pre-filter removes large particles like dust and dander.
  • Thermostatic Control: This Whynter AC cycles on and off to maintain your desired temperature.
  • Auto-Drain Technology: This function uses a gravity drain system to automatically exhaust condensate water for hassle-free operation.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this portable air conditioner effectively cools spaces with its dual-hose design. Many reviews mention it handles high temperatures well, though noise levels vary with some finding it quiet and others noting significant sound output. Common feedback includes straightforward setup, though window installation kits receive mixed reactions. The unit performs particularly well in smaller spaces, while effectiveness in larger areas varies. Users appreciate its cooling power but note it runs constantly during peak heat.

    Update to previous review

    My previous review mentioned that the collected moisture was all expelled out the exhaust, and that I had never had to empty the tank. That is true when using it in A/C mode (cooling). With the fall weather, I switched to heating mode (about 60 degrees outside, but high humidity). The internal tank filled up in less than an hour. With humid conditions, the only way to keep this running in heat mode is to provide continuous drainage for the tank. Later in the year, on drier days, it ran OK without having to empty the tank.

    Whynter Portable AC

    I have been using the units to air condition elevator machinery rooms [10x10 concrete block] in South Florida. The units run 24 hours a day, set at 78 degrees, low fan speed, vented to the outside. They are truly self-evaporating when set on AC mode and I never have had a problem with that even in our weather. [I tried one in my apartment set on Humidify and was not self-evaporating but did shut itself off when tank was full.] They are rather noisy. I have only had one unit quit after 4 years of use. I highly recommend these units for certain uses [e.g garage, work shop] and they would certainly work inside an apartment up to about 1200 square foot as a back up unit to central AC. I think that they are too noisy for bedrooms.
