Info & Guides

Description

Small of stature, but large on cooling capacity, the Whynter CoolSize ARC-101CW Portable Air Conditioner is the ideal choice for handling summer heat in spaces up to 300 square feet like a bedroom, small home office or apartment.  A rounded profile makes it a perfect companion in any room, and the expandable 5-foot exhaust hose and rolling casters allow for smooth and easy placement. You can set your ideal room temperature, adjust the mode, or choose a fan speed using the included remote or the digital control board. 

This single-hose unit includes an easily installed window kit that accommodates windows from 20 to 48 inches in width.

Self-Evaporative Design

The CoolSize features Whynter’s patented advance auto drain technology which recycles and utilizes the moisture collected during the cooling process, making this unit fully self-evaporative in most climates. This means almost no maintenance is required when you're cooling your home. 

When operating in dehumidification mode, this compact AC is able to pull up to 70 pints of moisture per day from your air and is equipped with a direct drain option, so it can be used year-round to maintain a fresh environment.

Easy and Eco-Friendly Operation

The ARC-101CW utilizes eco-friendly CFC-free R-410A refrigerant and is constructed of lead free RoHS compliant components. Featuring both an activated carbon filter to control indoor odors plus a washable pre-filter, it helps to create a clean, comfortable space. This model boasts full thermostatic control with a programmable timer plus an auto-restart function that saves your selected settings for perfect climate control.

Additional Features

  • Three Operating Modes: Select Cool, Dehumidify, or Fan mode (with 3 speeds) to create the perfect environment.
  • Remote Control: Adjust settings such as fan speed, temperature, and dehumidifier or program the timer from across the room.
  • Continuous Operation: When used in dehumidify mode, the 2 drain ports allow continuous, worry-free operation.
  • Compact, Modern Style: The CoolSize is truly compact at only 28 inches high and 17 inches wide with smooth rounded edges and Frost White exterior.
  • Energy Efficient & Portable: With EER of 10, this unit operates efficiently while sitting on 4 smooth-rolling casters for quick and easy portability.

Summary

Compact and fully self-evaporative, the single-hose Whynter CoolSize ARC-101CW Portable Air Conditioner is the ideal choice for keeping cool during hot summer months.

What Customers Love:

  • Fully Self-evaporative Operation: You never have to worry about emptying a bucket with this compact portable air conditioner.
  • Programmable with Auto-Restart: Electronic controls and full function remote make operating the CoolSize easy and the auto-restart feature means you don’t have to reprogram your settings.

Things to Consider:

  • Room Size: The ARC-101CW is intended to provide supplemental cooling in those spaces up to 300 square feet so be sure to check before purchasing.

    I've already bought a second one and my get another

    I'm using this unit in a beachfront condo in cape cod. It easily cools the 600 square foot condo and was easy to install. And there's no concern about me or rental guests having to empty the dehumidifier.

    Nice product. I would buy again.

    Nice and easy. Window hose setup very easy to use. Should have come with extra carbon activated filters.

    Does the job!

    I love this portable air conditioner. You do not have to drain any water, unlike my previous off-brand one. It was easy to set up. I only wish that you could adjust the air flow to different directions Which is why I would give it 4.5 stars really! #sweepstakes
