The current Amazon description does NOT do this unit justice! What it tells you is the following:

Energy star Window Air Conditioner
12000 BTU cooling Capacity
3 fan speed
Washable Filter
Temperature Range from 62-86 F

Now, let me tell you what this unit REALLY offers!

PROS:

First, it has a remote control. This is a big thing for us... we don't like to have to keep getting up and down whenever we want to change a setting... and settings it has! With the remote, you can not only change the temperature, but also set the timer, fan speed, sleep mode, and operating mode (cooling, fan, "drying" - which I'll get into in a moment..., or AUTO)

It has a timer! You can set your air conditioner to shut off after a certain amount of time - up to 24 hours in half-hour increments (one-hour increments after 10 hours). This is great for those of us who "accidentally" fall asleep while watching a movie or... Read more

Outstanding AC unit and did I mention QUIET?, June 11, 2012

We've all been through the AC Jig ... you buy a fancy name brand, you install it, and the problems begin. Given that this was the year to replace the two window ACs in the house, I decided to "go rogue" and order the SPT instead of a Fedders or Frigidaire or the like.

I'm glad that I did.

This is an amazing AC ... it's actually relatively quiet - both on the compressor side and on the build side. Note that I did not say silent, but compared to other 10k-12k BTU units, it's like listening to ambient trance instead of techno. Nice. No longer do I have to walk over to the AC and slap it on the side to get it to quiet down - the poorly engineered housings of the other, name-brand units rattle and squeak and complain too much - and since I am no longer hitting inanimate objects, we're going to save a lot of money on therapy for me.

I like the remote (which you can use from 90 degrees to the side (apparently a miracle of modern technology that has escaped... Read more

No complaints. Unit works very well and cools down a few rooms in no time flat. The "auto" mode is especially nice. Only complaint is the vent switch. There is no marking to define if you are in the right position or what position you may be in. Other than that it functions well with a minimum of noise.

Recently we've had a heat wave here on the east coast. Unfortunately for me my fire escape is right outside my living room window and i'm not allowed to block it with anything...no plants, AC, or window fans. I figured the window kit of a portable unit wouldn't be noticable (so far i'm right) I'm on the top floor of my building so i've been told portable units will not work well with the sun beating on the roof all day.
I took a chance because sitting on a leather sofa in 99 degrees isn't fun.
I'm glad to say that the delivery was 5 days via FedEx. The unit has a long (6') hose. It also takes water thru a very small opening located on the bottom of the unit. You don't need to fill it up with the cup that came with the unit but it does help drop the temperature and keeps the noise down. Speaking of noise, the unit isn't loud but it surely isn't quiet. For my home theater I would have the volume up to 20. The max it can go up to is 50. Now with the unit on I have to put it... Read more

Easy Setup - Works Well for a 250sq ft Bedroom, July 4, 2012

Epiphany (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: ArcticPro YPC-07C FAAC7 Portable Air Conditioner

Experiencing a heat wave averaging 95-103 for 2 weeks so far and only relief (under 85) has been in the late evening... being on the top floor, SW corner unit with largest windows and balcony facing west, (blazing afternoon sun)... interior was staying at 83-88... ugh.

The 14,000 BTU unit I ordered from Costco.com was delayed by UPS... cancelled it due to that alone out of spite... lucky I was able to get 2 of these from CompUSA locally (tigerdirect.com)... every other (Home Depot, Menards, Lowes, Costco, etc) place was sold out of portable AC units.

It is smaller, and sized well for the bedroom and office... works well for limited spaces, and only took 10 minutes to setup. Surprised that it fit my tall sliding glass window wells perfectly.

I am generally a researcher and brand 'snob' so this was a risk for me... and worked out well. Reviews seem to indicate that some of the quality checks might not be there, but it looks like the product works well if... Read more

Not that easy to set up, July 7, 2012

kylady (Henderson, KY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: ArcticPro YPC-07C FAAC7 Portable Air Conditioner

First of all, my unit didn't come with the amount of foam tape the instructions said it did so I was confused about setting it up with the window kit. Secondly, the exhaust hose did not easily stay connected to the ends. I got frustrated when I broke a fingernail and then used duct tape to connect the ends.

Seems to cool well, but we'll see as I've not used it in our 100+ degree heat. I wanted something in our living area and to give our regular HVAC system a break.

The directions say nothing about putting water in the unit until an indicator light goes on so I'm glad for that tip. The manual could have been written better.

This portable A/C works great. I sincerely doubt that it will really cool a 450 sq ft area but it does a great job for my bedroom upstairs...which is all I was really concerned with. My bedroom measures 13' x 12' or 156 sq ft and it takes about an hour to get from 85� F to 69� F. Setting it up was a breeze. The only problem I had was with the window exhaust kit. The expandable PVC plastic window mount wasn't long enough to cover the entire height of my bedroom window...it's about 5 inches too short. I had to cover that space with a piece of plastic that I cut to fit and duct taped in place. One thing I don't like about this unit is the placement of the exhaust hose...it's in the back. Some units have it on the top of the unit so that you can place the unit almost flush against the wall. The back of my unit sticks out about a foot and a half from the wall which makes getting around it a slight pain in the rear...but hey, at least I'll be cool this summer :). Another con...it doesn't... Read more

Sleek cooling, June 18, 2010

Jen Rufolo - See all my reviews

This review is from: Whynter ARC-12S 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, Platinum (Kitchen)

So it's been hot and yes I've been cheap, but after a month of unrelenting humidity and heat, I finally gave in and got myself this Whynter portable unit. In part recommended by a friend and part cos I'm love clean designs. It came in a tall serious looking box and I was able to unpack and hook it up relatively fast. The unit itself was a nice metallic finish. Now for the real test. Temperature as reported on in the last hr was 87degrees. Turned the unit on high and set it to 70degrees. The room that I'm cooling is not huge but has about an additional 25sqft of closet space that I'm trying ot cool as well, so that's about 280-300 sqfeet of area and 12ft high ceilings. Stood in front of the unit for awhile to cool down. It felt very reassuringly cold. Definitely was working away.

Left the room for about 35-40 mins and when I returned, it was definitely way more comfortable. I would estimate that it was close to 76degrees. That cooling rate was trememdously better than the 2... Read more

It Really Works but with One Flaw..., August 9, 2010

W. Tseng - See all my reviews

This review is from: Whynter ARC-12S 12,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, Platinum (Kitchen)

This portable A/C has received excellent reviews based on its performance, high EER efficiency, and eco-friendly designs. I have had it for two weeks and it really works! The only issue I have with this A/C is the design of its vents. The vents only allow left/right adjustment; not up/down. Cool air come straight out. If you set the unit on the floor, the cool air can only reach below your waist! How can the unit efficiently cool the space with cool air staying down low? I have to set the unit on a table. Other brands have vents on top and adjustable. I consider this a major design flaw and needs to be corrected.
