This cooler is definitely powerful, cools my home office very quickly.
The unit is nearly silent when it's in "standby", and very reasonable when cooling.
It has a great window bracket for the hoses, nice and sturdy.
The air comes out the top, which seems to help mix up the hot air near the ceiling and help cool faster.
You can place it just inches from the wall, the hoses go up from the back.
One thing I miss from my old AC is the ability to flash between Current and Set room temperature.
I replaced a 6000 BTU window unit with this product with high hopes. Sadly it could cool no better than my old unit. This air conditioner is not suitable except for a very small bedroom and cools no better than a 99.00 ******* window unit.
Tried this and another 14K unit. this was far superior. Cooling was almost twice as quick to get down to 75degrees and did not have to empty the tank on the Whynter. Noise level was similar but once both unit were on low fan, the Whynter could hardly be heard. I will be keeping the Whynter. Very impressed with it.

I did some research regarding portable air conditioners. The Whynter 14000 BTU had a number of good reviews going for it. Some were not so good, However, no worse then other brands. Unfortunately my experience very disappointing. This portable A/C unit turned out to be a very well packaged piece of junk. I ordered this unit on line, waited a few days, picked it up at Sears, brought it home, unpacked it, let it stand the manufacturer recommended four hours, hooked up the window vent and intake tubes, turned it on after the required rest time, set the thermostat to a desired temperature of 75 degrees and all we got out of it was warm air. I put a thermometer next to the air outlet and it read the same 85 degrees as the rest of the room's temperature. A major disappointment on a 90 degree day. Just in case the A/C unit may decide to wake up, I kept it it running for a couple of hours. The fan and the compressor kept running but no cold air out of it. Guess somebody back in China must have forgotten to charge it with refrigerant? This Whynter 14000 BTU portable A/C is going back to Sears tomorrow. It's a major hassle because this thing is heavy and packed in a big box. What to do now? Try the same or go with another brand? This experience was one of way to much effort wasted on a weekend. At least Sears has a pretty good return policy.
