Customer Reviews of Whynter 12,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner, Frost White (ARC-12SD)
Cools extremely nicely… unit DOA…
I made the decision to compose a in depth overview of the Whynter air conditioner that I obtained last month. I figure I will go over the things that are critical to me and with any luck , this will assist you with your acquire. Most critical to me is cooling power. I am particularly utilizing this unit to dietary supplement our central air conditioner during the heat months of the yr. We dwell near the foundation of the mountains in Southern California so we get a very a couple of 100 additionally days of warmth a yr. With our concrete roof tiles for wild hearth safety, our upstairs rooms can bake for the duration of the day.Initial impact: The unit was delivered in a box that was double layered. This manufactured it show up to endure delivery with out injury to the device inside. Now do not wipe out your box as for the explanation I am about to explain. I decided to use box cutters to open to the box. As I opened the box almost everything inside was in perfect condition from shipping and delivery. Every thing was in best form until I plugged it in. It was DOA. I instantly contacted Whynter through e mail. Their reaction was rapid. I noticed from my correspondence by way of e-mail with them it seems they check their support electronic mail 2 times a day (morning and evening). My responses from Whynter at 1st have been fundamental trouble shooting suggestions which I experienced presently had tried. Now below is where items are a bit various. I obtained an email inquiring me to just take the unit apart and check the connections of the control unit and screen on the entrance of the device. To me this was not large deal. I am technically savvy, have worked creating pcs for a long time, and have the coaching to match. As I took the unit apart I did comprehend that for the casual buyer this is something they ought to not be questioned to do from the manufacture. None the less the distinct issue they considered it to be, a unfastened link with the front handle panel, was appropriate. I fixed the connection, place the unit back jointly, and bingo it was working. Do not destroy your box till you know you will not want it to ship it back.Second impression: The device is big and considerably heavy. It does have wheels which makes sort effortless motion. The handle lights are vivid so if you are using the device at night time you may well require some black electrical tape to protect these up. As for ease of use of the controls, they are straight forward. The distant is fantastic if you want to be lazy.Sound: The device is considerably loud. Not as loud as units I have bought in the past but it is loud when the compressor kicks on. I really feel this ought to only be an problem if you need to slumber in the same space with it. When the compressor is off and the admirer is at the least expensive velocity the audio is not a situation at all.Exhaust: Setting up the dual exhaust is straightforward. I know people complain about this but it is genuinely easy. If you have some gigantic window then you may possibly have an problem… but at that level you ought to be wise ample to comprehend you will have that very same issue with most transportable air conditioners so do not complain about it.Electrical power: It operates and performs nicely. I put it in a very very hot 450sqf room and it cooled it fast. The nuts portion is when we put it in our youngsters little place. In the early evening the solar hits this place and bakes it… truly scorching at instances. This place, even with central air, stays in between seventy eight and 84 degrees in the course of these hours. I place that unit in there and in fifteen minutes the space was 66. To me that is incredible.Condensation: I have no issues with condensation. I had a few drops of drinking water in the reservoir and it was easy to vacant. Everybody complains about the drain becoming on the base. Sure, style flaw. To vacant just get a zip lock freezer bag and vacant into that. For these you thinking of getting this unit, know your surroundings. If you stay in south in which it is humid then the drain on this one particular may well be an issue. If you reside in a dry surroundings like me, well I have not had to drain except when I was tests the solution.Other problems: Situation vibration. A single factor I noticed is that the circumstance vibrates when the condenser kicks on which tends to make the sound situation even worse. I set a piece of tape on it and created the sound stop. None the less I am not even confident I would have had that problem if I would not have had to just take the device apart to fix it myself in the 1st location.General I give three stars. The unit functions nicely and cools excellent for my atmosphere. I have to knock off a handful of stars for having to fix a new product myself, the vibration, drain plug placement, and it is a bit loud when the compressor is on. If you are considering of purchasing this device just know that I have bought and employed transportable air conditioners in the previous and not a single one has appear near to cooling as properly as this one does. Also the overall design is a lot greater than the units I have bought in the earlier.
Fantastic unit
I have had this unit for two summers to great my workshop. It has completed a extremely wonderful job and is very efficient.
Lifeless on Arrival
This unit arrived lifeless. Nicely the management panel lit up, but no enthusiast, no AC and so forth. Just a huge paperweight with quite inexperienced lights.This is an up to date overview. My initial evaluation was scathing as at the time:1. Amazon would not trade the appliance because it was “out of stock”, even so I could nevertheless go buy another one particular on their world wide web webpage. Amazon did actually reply and defined it was offered from their related sellers, but they did not have any. I recognized I experienced a dud, but it is even now 1 of the ideal reviewed moveable AC units…I disagree with significantly of Amazon’s coverage relating to 3rd party sellers. If they are likely to put the “Amazon” identify on the sale, they must require the sellers to sustain similar return procedures as Amazon and so on. Of system they do not, and there are some poor sellers polluting the selection.two. I could not reach Whynter customer support by telephone. They in no way answered, never returned a call. Sooner or later Whynter consumer provider did e mail me, regardless of the reality that I was extremely irritated with them and quite impolite at times (forgive me, I am human).So many thanks Whynter, I appreciate that there was at minimum an energy and they were significantly far more diplomatic than I was. However, they genuinely don’t know considerably. They never create the item, just import it from China. To treatment the circumstance, they despatched me diagrams to just take the unit aside, check out wiring and many others. It was for a various product than mine, but hey they answered. It did provide a handful of clues though and I took the unit apart and fastened the electrical concern. Even so I am an electrical engineer. If you are not be well prepared to ship this fairly sizable equipment, at your own cost, to Whynter for warranty service.I did operate the unit for a limited while and it in fact was making chilly air. I did not locate the device as noisy as I anticipated when the compressor is managing and it is really tolerable (as opposed to our summers in Phoenix). The true take a look at will appear when it will get a little bit warmer, however I only have reasonable expectations and hope it will make a workshop bearable. I do not anticipate it to amazing as effectively as central or window AC units. We shall see…
