Works very well - highly recommended by CF Hill, we did a lot of research before choosing this Whynter "environmentally friendly 12,000 BTU dual hose portable air conditioner." We have an old Victorian house that does not have central air that we were cool with standard window units but with rough winters we get, we were tired of moving them in and out twice a year. This portable unit does a good job and more than meet my needs. Here are my observations: Pros - + Cooling Ability; this unit easily chills my 15' x 20' (300 square feet) family room + Compressor Noise; this is surprisingly quite, even at the highest setting + Size; not too intrusively large, about the size of the old upright radio we have it setting next to + Portable; unit is fairly heavy but it is on wheels (note that the window vent needs to move with the unit) + Remote Control; a handy addition with a digital display that lets you change the temperature, fan speed, and timer from across the room + Easy Setup; my son and I had this unboxed and running within 15 minutes of opening the box, only one Philips Head screwdriver required to attache the screws to the window vent mount Cons - - Ugly Vent Hoses; while it can't be helped as they are needed, the white vent hoses (look like dryer vent hoses) are an eyesore when extended out and totally incongruous with any decor (we keep ours retracted as much as possible except when needing to aim the Air Conditioning output to a different room) Misc - *Fan Noise; this can move a lot of air and makes the expected amount of fan noise when on the highest settings This portable unit was a good solution for my needs and we will likely be getting at least one additional unit in the near future for use our the second floor Highly Recommended! CFH 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful This is the simply the best portable AC there is. By Blackout I'm in NYC in a basement apartment and my old junky LG 10,000 unit was doing nada.. I don't know if it was broken or just junky it never got anything that cold. Now really, 12,000 btu units are supposed to be for a small space.. 400 to 500 square feet. As I said I am in a basement apartment and I was SWELTERING... dying!!!!! I researched every portable air conditioner under the sun and was ready to go out and buy one but the ones in the local stores either blew out ho hum air or were not set up to try at all, and online with all of them I read a lot of people saying they didn't do much... or ho hum reviews... this was the only unit where people wrote really enthusiastic 4 or 5 star reviews. I also learned that you don't even want to MESS with unit that has no exhaust / or just a single exhaust vent. If you are going to get a portable A/C - you WANT a dual vented one One takes air in, the other sends hot air out. This is MUCH more efficient, cooler, and FASTER than no vent / single vent unit and you don't have to be emptying buckets of water either. I'm an actor/director/editor so I have hot computers running too and there's nothing worse than going to an audition sweaty or having to edit a movie or video in 90 degree+ heat. I decided this was the one to try but I couldn't find ANY in NYC! Can you believe that? At $490.00 - amazon's price is slightly inflated but all other places that had it a little cheaper were out of stock or had ridiculous long shipping waits or high shipping charges. When I saw this puppy in stock, I took it, and with the free trial of amazon prime shipping I ordered the 2nd day (which would have cost like $ 180 on this heavy beast! But I got it for free) and low and behold it came the next day! HALLELUJAH! The Law of Attraction works, I tell you! First of all - this is not a 12,000 BTU UIT is 14,000 BTU 2nd - It is huge, and quite heavy, but it looks good, like a droid from Star Wars and luckily it's on wheels, but when UPS guy came it looked like he was.
