That said, you should probably be sure you need this much air conditioning before you invest in the ARC-14S it’s a bit of an investment, weighs a formidable 80 pounds and the lack of handles makes it challenging to move on anything but smooth flat surfaces (where the casters can help out). Have a large space you’re trying to cool? The Whynter ARC-14S Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner is near the top end of what portable AC units can do. Power: 14,000 BTU ASHRAE / 9,500 DOE | Coverage area: Up to 600 square feet | Noise level: Less than 56 dB | Additional features: Includes fan and dehumidifier functions May need a drain hose to clear out accumulated moisture.While it has an automatic drain to clear out accumulated moisture, many reviewers suggest getting a drain hose (which you’ll have to purchase separately), especially if you live in a humid area. Unlike most units in this price range, this is a dual-hose system one hose serves as an input and the other as an exhaust, which makes it run more efficiently by cooling a room without drawing in warm air. With the 12,000 BTU ASHRAE (7,000 BTU DOE), this cooling engine can handle rooms up to 400 square feet and has three operating modes: cooling, fan-only and dehumidifier-only. While you’ll find the slightly larger Whynter ARC-14S elsewhere on this list, the Whynter Elite ARC-122DS earns its place as the best overall portable air conditioner by providing most of the same capabilities at a lower price point.
