The Best 14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner 

Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I ru-vid.comUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn 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!

Very high quality, in-depth reviews, criminally unknown channel.

Definitely recommend dual hose units for older homes that are less air tite.

*Works great **Fastly.Cool** compact and Easy to install*

This is such a good break down. I clearly understood everything. Thank you.

You should do a video on how we can improve the efficiency of a portable A/C. That would an awesome video!!!

If every product sector had an awesome video like this , we’d be in a utopia

You can mitigate the heat infiltration issues and the radiant heat from the exhaust hose also.

You explain the downside of 1 pipe so well the average viewer can’t comprehend how bad 1 pipe is vs 2 pipe. I’ve given up trying to explain how infiltration affects the heat gain I just let them wallow in their own ignorance as they twist themselves in pretzels trying to dispute physics and thermal dynamics. And don’t get me started on the rechargeable ( solar/ built in battery) heat pumps that they say you don’t need any pipes outside 🙄.

Another important thing is consumption, from what I've read, the top LG consumes a lot less. Up to 40% less

Is there something u can wrap the tube coming out of the AC unit with something that will not let the heat out of tube making it more efficient?

Does the SACC BTUs apply to window air conditioners or just the portable air conditioners?

Informative! Does an insulation sleeve adequately address the ducting heat? Also, where are you getting the SACC for Whynter? Amazon lists it at 9500 BTU.

This is probably the best unit out there right now!! The Midea Duo MAP14HS1TBL might have more horsepower ( 12,000 SAAC ), buts its much louder.

Let me tell you something..when it says 8000 BTU ...then it comes into the USA..it is turned into SACC..The Numbers are Lower,like 5100 btu/sacc...Keeping a Kean Eye on those...Lowe had a 10,000 BTU/SACC but it converted into 16,000 BTU without the SACC conversion. AireMax-115-Volt-White-Vented-Portable-Air-Conditioner at lowe and look at the photos. This one is rated for 16,000 BTU but Lowe was selling the lower end of the Numbers ( The SACC ),which it is at 10,000...look at the Reviews for that AC and look at the Box...it will say 16,000 BTU but not BTU/SACC. This is how I figured this out.....I bought a 8,000 BTU AC from Amazon and the Aire on the same day and got both boxes.....then one box says 16,000 BTU and the other says 8,000 BTU...but the energy label is showing 5100 btu/sacc.

So what indoor AC unit should I buy?

Thanks for the info!

What's a DOE compared to a SACC?

So who does the SACC testing? Independent or gotta trust the maker?

Very informative. Thank you.

Hey, great reviews thank you, this has helped tremendously in choosing the right portable AC. Quick question: Have you looked at the Toshiba # RAC-PD1413CRRU? It claims 10000 BTU DOE which is supposed to be reflecting SACC

No mention of how easy the coils are to clean. Easy on my sharp AC (discontinued), basically impossible on the LG I just got rid of.

Seems like there is a lot of price fluctuation that affect the value of some of these that you're kind of missing out by not saying the price in the video. Right now the Black and Decker one is the lowest SACC to price at $383/7500, summer seasonal prices have increased on all the other ones on the recommended list.

What’s the best unit to buy for 100° weather?

Soleus Air 14,000 BTU All Season 4-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner 👍🏼

If I have to pick between a 14000BTU (10000SACC BTU) or 12000BTU (10000SACC BTU) and the 12000BTU is $100 cheaper, is there any advantage to getting the 14000BTU?

Thanks for the best portable a. Vedoe .. so the lg is the best right ? Beccausr im going to buy 1 soon

Can you compare the Delonghi PACEX390LVYN WH vs the LG LP1419IVSM? What are your thoughts? My apartment is around over 700sq feet so I think the Delonghi is better (as it said it would cover 700sq feet while the LG one can only cover 500sq feet), but the LG one has 10k SACC BTU while the Delonghi only has 8600 BTU SACC

Best air conditioner video out 🙌 facts only

Thank you so much for this informative information! What do you think of the LP1217GSR and LP1417GSR?

Danny dual hose or Delonghi one hose. Both 14000 BTU? Thanks

What do you think of the Whynter ARC-14S?

i need help with buying a danby model - do you review Danby DPA100E5WDB-6?

This was a “decent” review, but one BIG omission (or lacking) is coverage of the condensation [water 💦] that this units handles. Does it mostly expel most (or all) of the condensation water?, or does it deliver a lot to the bottom of the unit (where the exit/water plug is?). This factor is IMPORTANT as we (customers/users) want to know if we’ll be having to be EMPTYING (constantly) the water accumulated at the bottom water reservoir?, or will it [the unit] mainly evaporate the water vapor “out” (of/using the air exit hose system). The video didn’t cover this feature (AT ALL!😡👎) - so a B minus on the “grade” of this video. This matter is a BIG deal! (Depending upon which part of the country you’re in), because if you are in a “High” humidity area then your A/C unit WILL put out a TON of water💧(maybe too much 🌊 for a standard [hose] evaporation system can handle). And this is precisely what happened in my situation - where I have a Whynter A/C system. Granted, it is not as “efficient” as the LG, but it has two (2) Exit [water] plugs (one at the bottom and one at the top). The plugs at the bottom of these units are VERY inefficient and impractical, as they will always “Leak” if you have to empty them (and this is REALLY a Pain, if you have to do this, Often😡👎). But if the water plug is at the Top then you can [more] easily attach a water hose to route this water outside (and thus, NOT “continually” empty the water created [again, in the common A/C condensation process]). I hope this one fact [factor] will help others out there 😄👍

Yeah . Yeah. Gimme the bottom line. Which is the best one!!

Do you plan to have videos to mitigate the inefficiencies?

Will you be testing the TCL 14PH31? it claims to be 8300 SACC and it's cheaper than the LG LP1417GSR

so help me out.... how well does the LG unit hold up in 90 plus weather... seeing as how its a single hose and you said dual hose are best for extreme heat?

Arctic King 14000 btu ?

I cant see to find the higher end lg anywhere was. Did you have to pre-order?

So does that mean 10k btu isn't 10k btu

im sick of these air cons there just fans why cant we get one thats like the ones built into cars that actually cool a room cars get freezing compared to these peices of crap can someone help please

Damn

Ummmm... 💅🏽 this didn't help me at all. L😅L. This was like trying to learn chemistry or math or a new language to me. I felt like my brain did a Homer Simpson 💭🐒🥁.
