SpecWhynter ARC-147WF Dual-Hose Portable ACMidea U 10,000 BTU (MAW10U2QWT)

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 December 2024 U revision, not recalled, at CEER 16 with ENERGY STAR Most Efficient status. About 6% less power than the CEER 15 V1UWT for the same cooling, which is nice but not worth chasing a hard-to-find listing.

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.Midea sold the U2QWT and the recalled U1QWT with the same CEER ratings and near-identical titles; one digit separates them.
