The second unit I bought last summer stopped working after only a few uses. While the unit was still within its 1 year warranty, I was certainly dreading the issue of dealing with customer service. But I was very pleasantly surprised. Through email, I communicated with Jof Y. and he was extremely helpful in walking me through some checks and tests. We very quickly diagnosed the compressor as the problem, and he had a new unit sent immediately and free of charge! Moreover, I did not have to send the broken unit back, which was a real timesaver. What a great experience and a great relief! The replacement unit is working wonderfully over the last month.
Overall, the unit itself gets 4 to 5 stars, and Jof and customer service get 6 stars!
COOLING. This Whynter works very well cooling my small space. It has a "swing" feature which raises and lowers the vent cover to provide an oscillating effect, which is nice.
NOISE. Portable air conditioners are noisy, doesn't matter the brand or model. You are in the room with the unit, unlike a window-mounted unit where the noisy parts are outside. Because the room I am using this unit in is so small, only 120 sq ft., the noise is inescapable. If you want a quiet air conditioner, get a window-mounted unit. Running it on fan mode is a little quieter than in cooling mode, but I still feel the need to turn it off when I am on a call or online meeting.
SETTING UP. Setting up the Whynter was very easy. This is a SINGLE-HOSE unit, which makes set-up a bit easier than a dual-hose unit. For performance, I actually prefer a dual-hose unit. The Whynter has casters so you can easily move it when needed. Follow the instructions, leaving your unit off for several hours after you first install it to assure best performance.
PRICE. Portable A/C units tend to be more expensive than window A/C units. Given that I was unable to work in my home office this summer without A/C, the cost was worth it to me.
OVERALL. I am pleased with this Whynter A/C unit. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the noise, but really, that is going to be an issue with any portable air conditioner. Whynter is my "go-to" brand for portable air conditioners.
