Whynter SNO ARC10D

Pros: Stainless steel, efficient cooling, pricing, remote control

Cons: Weight, loud, front vents get dislodged but are easy enough reinset

The Bottom Line: Unbeatable price and is a workhorse. Appealing design and excellent functionality.

Review: This unit arrived super fast which made me very happy for starters. It arrived via UPS in two days. I have had it for about 4 days and it have had it on for an average of 8 hours a day. It has work as advertised and has kept me and my cat very ...

Pros: This is a very affordable buy that works and looks superb.

Cons: Maybe the weight and the responsiveness of the remote control that I hardly use anyways.

The Bottom Line: If you are thinking some from A/C cooling, this would be it.

Review: Typical of the the Southwest, summer often comes a little earlier than the rest of the country. Given the speedy rise in temperatures, I set off looking for a nice air conditioner unit. Never having bought an a/c in my life, I was only familiar with the ...

Pros: Good cooling rate, very nice looks and fair price.

Cons: It is awkward to lift, falls forward if your grip is wrong.

The Bottom Line: Worth the money.

Review: Taking advantage of the pre-summer sales we bought this unit a month ago. It is actually warm enough where I'm at (80F) that it's worth turning on the A/C ever so often. I use in the TV den which measures approximately 12x20. It arrived in reasonable ...

Pros: The cooling comfort per dollar is great.

Cons: Fan noise and protective film.

The Bottom Line: Good looking, well priced, reliable.

Review: It's been about 3 weeks since I bought this A/C and it's been pleasant experience so far. I am now able to sleep comfortably without leaving the windows open and listening to the blaring of traffic. First, this A/C looks cool, I'm a guy and definitely ...

Pros: Nice SS casing. cooling outout. easy to setup

Cons: condenses quite a bit in high humidity. just run a cheap dehumidifier.

Review: really sweet looking portable a/c and has fierce cooling power. I live out by Tampa, FL where it stays pretty warm year round. It gets pretty moist here so I run a dehumdifier to maximize the efficiency of the a/c. It cools my 400 sqft living room to a ...

Pros: perfect for the modern apartment. great price.

Cons: a bit on the heavy side.

Review: sharp looking A/C. extremely easy to install and great cooling effect. The price is also great for a stainless steel appliance. I think its the only one out there. I would easily ...

Pros: It is has a great look and cools as adverstised.

Cons: The fan get loud when on full blast. 

Review: As luck would have it, my 3 year old window unit decided to go on strike in the middle of a ugly heatwave. I did some quick comparisons and decided that I wanted something that would at least blend into my apartment's decor. I chanced upon this ...

Pros: With additional insulation, it will cool a small room

Cons: Energy inefficient, noisy, breaks, leaks easily, bad window kit

The Bottom Line: With a lot of tweaking it is OK for emergencies, but opt for a window unit if at all possible.

Review: I bought this unit under a different name 2 years ago. I immediately had problems with it because even though it was sold under the heading that it 'self evaporates', that function (I think there must be an internal pump)broke the second night I used it. ...

Pros: cute design

Cons: Very loud and no cooling

The Bottom Line: This unit is not worth the money, do not get fooled by its great looks!

Review: After researching for a portable, I decided to get this unit because 1) the stainless steel and 2) several 5-star ratings. Although I noticed there were some 1-star reviews as well, I figured perhaps just a few unlucky customers? Well, guess what? I'm ...

Pros: Seems to cool pretty well.

Cons: Unless you're interested in watering your floors, find a different unit!

Review: I thought this unit was a good deal too, until I found puddles of water all over my floor. Checked the manual-- all the plugs are in correctly and even made sure the thing was level every way possible. Plugged it back in and more water everywhere. I ...
