Spec Midea 12,000 BTU Smart Inverter Window AC with Heat (MAW12HV1CWT) Whynter ARC-1230WNH NEX Inverter Portable AC with Heat Photo Our score SCORE 6.9 / 10 SCORE 6.5 / 10 Our take The bigger sibling of our window heat pump pick, with the same 41°F heat floor. Its CEER 13.3 is below DOE's 14.4 minimum for units made from May 26, 2026, and we found no new Amazon listing. The portable we'd buy: hose-in-hose inverter, 12,000 BTU SACC, a published CEER of 14.2 and a heat pump. The catch is the mail-in warranty and an authorized-dealer requirement. Type Window heat pump Portable Cooling (DOE / SACC) 12,000 BTU 12,000 BTU CEER 13.3 14.2best Inverter Yes Yes Heat mode Heat pump Heat pump Noise, lowest setting (maker figure) n/a 42.5 dBA Window width, min n/a 28 in Window width, max n/a 82 in Weight 58 lb n/a Warranty n/a 1 yr ENERGY STAR Yes No Watch out for Owners report a rattle or a loud start in heat mode, loud enough to wake some at night. Midea's app wouldn't connect for some owners. Warranty is 1 year plus 3 years on the compressor, but service is mail-in, only within the 48 contiguous states, needs an authorized Whynter dealer, and you pay return freight after month two. Portable ACs are excluded from ENERGY STAR's room AC program. ARC-1230WN and ARC-1230WN2 are similar inverter models with no heat.
