Spec Midea U 12,000 BTU (MAW12U2QWT) Whynter ARC-1230WNH NEX Inverter Portable AC with Heat Photo Our score SCORE 7.5 / 10 SCORE 6.5 / 10 Our take The December 2024 12,000 BTU U at CEER 15.2, not recalled. Hard to find; the current V1UWT is the easier buy. 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 U-shaped window Portable Cooling (DOE / SACC) 12,000 BTU 12,000 BTU CEER 15.2best 14.2 Inverter Yes Yes Heat mode None 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 Warranty n/a 1 yr ENERGY STAR Yes No Watch out for Midea sold the U2QWT and the recalled U1QWT with the same CEER ratings and near-identical titles; one digit separates them. 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.
