Whynter (ARC-102CS) 10,000 BTU Compact Portable Air Conditioner with Dehumidifier and Fan
Description
The Whynter ARC-102CS is a compact, high-efficiency portable air conditioner designed to cool rooms up to 300 sq. ft. without permanent installation. Rated at 10,000 BTU (ASHRAE) / 7,000 BTU (SACC), it delivers reliable climate control in a frost-white, space-saving footprint that fits comfortably in apartments, offices, dorm rooms, and smaller living spaces. Three operational modes - cool, dehumidify, and fan - give you complete flexibility to match your comfort needs throughout the day.
Whynter's patented auto-drain technology automatically exhausts condensate so you're not constantly emptying a water tank, even in moderate humidity environments. A dual-filter system featuring an Activated Carbon Air Filter and a washable pre-filter helps reduce allergens and airborne particles, keeping your space feeling fresh. With built-in casters for effortless mobility, a digital remote control, and a 24-hour programmable timer, the ARC-102CS is as convenient as it is capable.

Manuals & Guides
FAQ
Does the unit need to be vented to a window?
Yes. The ARC-102CS must be connected to the included exhaust hose and vented to the outside through a window or another suitable opening while operating in air conditioner mode. The included window kit fits both vertical sliding and horizontal sash windows and can be trimmed to size for a secure seal. Alternate venting options include sliding glass doors, drop ceiling panels, or wall vents.
Do I need to drain water out of the unit manually?
In most conditions, no. The ARC-102CS features Whynter's patented auto-drain technology, which exhausts condensate automatically through the exhaust hose. In very high-humidity environments, the internal tank may eventually fill and require manual drainage via the lower rear drain port. You can also connect a hose to the upper gravity drain port for continuous, hands-free drainage into a floor drain or bucket.
Can the unit be placed in a room without connecting the hose to a window?
No. Operating the unit without venting the exhaust hose outside will prevent it from cooling effectively and may cause the unit to overheat. The exhaust hose must always be connected and vented outdoors when the unit is running in air conditioner mode.
What is the exhaust hose diameter, and can I replace it?
The included exhaust hose has a 6.0" diameter and extends up to 59". If you need a replacement, the compatible hose is available as a Whynter accessory (model ARC-EH-TYPEM-14V2). Replacement carbon filters are also available separately (model ARC-CF-TYPE-M).
How loud is the ARC-102CS during operation?
The unit operates at under 51 dBA, which is comparable to a quiet conversation or soft background music. This makes it suitable for use in bedrooms and offices where low noise is important.
Can I plug the air conditioner into a power strip or share an outlet?
No. For safety and optimal performance, the ARC-102CS should be plugged directly into a grounded wall outlet on a dedicated circuit. Sharing an outlet with other high-powered devices can cause circuit overloads, overheating, or damage to the unit, and may void the warranty. If a dedicated outlet is not available, consult a licensed electrician.
Does this unit include a heat function?
No, the ARC-102CS is a cooling-only unit. It does not include a heat mode. It operates in three modes: cool, dehumidify, and fan. If you need a unit with a heat function, Whynter offers other models with heat pump capability.
