This has been a truly terrible summer in New York City. Most of July was boiling hot and near-tropical humid. My ancient window air conditioner had been confiscated by my landlord, at the request of the NYC fire department, during the winter, because the bedroom window where it was located was on a fire escape. I didn't think much about it at the time because, after all, it was WINTER. But then, the blazing heat rolled around, and I was a little leery about purchasing a portable air conditioner -- the only kind that wouldn't violate the nothing-in-windows-on-a-fire-escape rule -- for several reasons. First, I had heard that they were less efficient than window models. Because of this, I had no realistic idea of how many BTU's I would need to cool my 10 X 12 foot bedroom. Additionally, I was nervous about how a standing air conditioner would look in my room, and how much space it would take up. Finally, after broiling in the city for several weeks, checking out the big box stores' offerings, and doing a ton of research, I settled on the Whynter ARC 10WB portable. It has been an absolute blessing. It has tamed the disgustingness of a New York City summer, and allowed me to sleep normally again. It has a variety of modes in which it can be used, including standard AC operation, fan mode, and dehumidifier mode. The AC mode is still going fairly regularly, because the wet heat has continued pretty steadily, even into the end of August. But on the rare days when it lets up for a while, the fan is more than sufficient to keep me cool. The unit is neatly designed, mostly white, and blends in nicely with my white walls. Oddly enough, it takes up substantially less space than the two standing fans I had been using to beat the heat before the Whynter arrived. The unit moves easily on its wheels; and I anticipate that there will be no problem switching it to another room if that should ever be desirable. (There was, however, an insufficient amount of foam padding included in the package for anything more than one average-size window. When I inquired about this at Whynter, they suggested that I could probably find more at a local hardware store. This does seem a tad like copping out on an item of negligible cost.)Two other small problems: The unit is loud in its operation. But I was prepared for that, since I had learned from my prior research that portable models tend to be loud. I've gotten used to the sound, but it did take a bit of getting used to.Also, the operating manual is absolutely terribly written, filled with contradictions, and difficult to follow if, like me, you're not born with a gift for assembling things. It took a number of calls and e-mails to Whynter to get everything straightened out. Whynter, however, was consistently helpful.

We needed a small air condition unit for a small space that the central house a/c didn't sufficiently cool. We comparison shopped and decided on the Whynter ARC-10WB and it works beyond expectations. We like the fact that it doesn't have a drip pan that needs monitoring/emptying. Overall, we are extremely pleased with this unit.

Gotta say, this item is awesome. Freezes any room in a matter of minutes. It is heavy though, which is because of the BTU rating, but worth it. The evaporator took care of all condensation, so no tank to drain which is also a plus.
