Your reviews must be bs because all the links lead to Amazon and that means you didn't actually do a fair, well rounded test of the best units out there.
Purchased: August 2022 - still works GREAT! ru-vid.comUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn I live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install.This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment.I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
I like to roll the machine right up to my ear when I sleep, sometimes I use it to keep my pillow from moving off the bed at night, In winter I use a heated blanket and I wrap the cord around my neck to keep it close and handy!
Dual hose units are better. The single hose units pull warm air from other locations and will never shut off, because they will always need to cool the warm air that got pulled into the space. With dual hose units, the machines will shut off when the air reaches the temp you set up, because it doesn't pull in outside air that would need to be cooled. Also, there are machines that come with water pumps that will automatically pump the water out through the window when the condensate tank gets full.
Its a low ammount but you can isolate it further, there are some hose covers. I use jackets. The real bad thing is that they keep sucking warm air into the room once the desired temperature is reached, therefore, they remove the cold-air from the room.
I recommend putting these on a 3-4 inch heavy Plastic foam pad - to de-couple their vibration from the floor. If you live in an apartment building, the neighbor below you will love you for it.
Misleading reviews and probably just BS. Here one way you can tell. He talks about a 14000 BTU and a 6000 BTU unit both being suitable for a 550 sq/ft room. The Whynter unit can barely keep up in that size room and it is way more efficient with having a dual hose system. There's NO way he tested all these units. I need to keep my comments respectful while being disrespected and deceived by this content creator. So fudge ewes is appropriate.
All portable air conditioners are bad because they keeep sucking warm air into the room, unless they are dual hose, or at least, a 2-way valve that allows them to recirculate air through the room once the desired temperature is reached.
@@j.l7029 We bought one last summer it's quieter than our window unit and literally turns our bedroom into a fridge. To answer your question yes you could.
There are 2 things to consider when getting a portable a/c #1 SACC ratting it's the newer more accurate ratting #2 Single hoses create negative air pressure in a room causing air leakage into the room. We bought a Midea duo portable a/c last summer and it cools our bedroom like a fridge and it's quieter than our window unit it replaced 14000 BTU old ratting 10,000 BTU SACC new ratting so it's very efficient for a portable a/c.
I never understood why anyone would want to pull hot humid air from the outside. I want to pull the hot air from the room and convert it to cold air which is already decreased in humidity since it’s the same air from the room rather from the outside. Like putting you car A/C to recirculate which cools the cabin much faster.
@@nunosapunso6239 i think you are confusing single/dual hose. the second hose is there to pull in air from the outside which is then used to cool the condenser before being exhausted through the second hose. there is no air exchange between the inside and outside, exactly like in your car example. this is different with single hose units: since they also blow hot air out the window, new air must somehow enter the room to fill the void, otherwise you would create a vacuum. and the only place for this air to come from is the warm outside
@@jaro1454 incorrect. I have the Whynter dual hose. The owners manual even states that if the outside temps and humidity are higher than inside, it’s suggested to disconnect the intake hose and place a pre filter on the intake port so inside air can be used. It may cause a vacuum but it’s easier on the condenser.
just throwing a question up, because i really don't know who or where to ask it, so i'm hoping a smart person can give me some insight: i bought a portable a/c because i'm in a basement suite & couldn't use a window unit. i do get a lot of grit & dust coming into my suite, & i'm concerned it's going to go right inot the exhaust pipe & into the unit. is this a legitimate concern? it doesn't look ik ethere's any kind of filter keeping incoming dust out of the unit. is there any kind of filter i could put over the exhaust pipe that would prevent dust coming in, or would anything like that block the air outflow? hope i'm making sense. thanks.
NEVER BUY SINGLE HOSE! Also, never listen to anybody that recommends a single hose either. It creates a vacuuming in you home and brings in air from the outside back into your home
@@red2 I specifically wanted to know the specs from 1 place. Are you saying the value of that is diminished because they used stock footage of the product? All review youtubers do the affiliate thing, which I agree is a motiv, but you could also just directly search for the product by name.
