Our scoreNot reviewed yetSCORE7.5 / 10
Our takeA fixed-speed dual-hose portable at 10,000 BTU SACC and CEER 7.83, a bit more than half the ARC-1230WNH's efficiency. For a room you cool every night, we'd pay for the inverter.The 2026 10,000 BTU U at CEER 16, ENERGY STAR Most Efficient and not recalled. Little owner history yet.

Watch out forWarranty 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. ARC-147WFH is the heat version; this one only cools.U1KWT and the recalled U1QWT differ by one letter (K vs Q).
