Whynter 14,000 BTU Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner with Activated Carbon Filter


Description

The Whynter ARC-14S and ARC-14SH are award-winning dual hose portable air conditioners built to deliver powerful, efficient climate control in rooms up to 500 sq. ft. Rated at 14,000 BTU (ASHRAE) and 9,500 BTU SACC (ARC-14S) or 9,200 BTU SACC (ARC-14SH), these units cool quickly and quietly without requiring any permanent installation. The dual hose design draws fresh outside air for the condenser while exhausting heat separately, making it significantly more efficient than single-hose alternatives.

Crowned the 2025 Best Overall Portable Air Conditioner by Good Housekeeping and recognized by TIME Stamped, USA Today, the New York Post, and more, the ARC-14S series has earned its reputation through real-world performance. Both models include an activated carbon filter, washable pre-filter, remote control, 24-hour programmable timer, patented auto-drain technology, and a storage bag - everything you need for complete, plug-in comfort. Whynter has been a trusted, environmentally conscious US-based brand in the cooling industry since 2006.


Key Features

  • 14,000 BTU Cooling (ASHRAE) / 9,500 BTU SACC (ARC-14S) or 9,200 BTU SACC (ARC-14SH): Powerful cooling for spaces up to 500 sq. ft. - rated under both ASHRAE-128 and DOE 2017 standards.
  • Dual Hose System: Separate intake and exhaust hoses maximize cooling efficiency and prevent negative pressure in the room, outperforming single-hose designs.
  • Patented Auto-Drain Technology: Fully exhausts condensate automatically in most environments - no manual draining required under normal conditions.
  • Activated Carbon Filter + Washable Pre-Filter: Dual filtration ensures cleaner, fresher air. Compatible with 3M Antimicrobial replacement filters.
  • Three or Four Operational Modes: The ARC-14S runs as an air conditioner, fan, or dehumidifier. The ARC-14SH adds a heat mode for year-round climate control.
  • 3 Fan Speeds + Full Thermostatic Control (61°F - 89°F cooling): Dial in your exact comfort level with precise digital temperature control and low/medium/high fan settings.
  • Quiet Operation - Under 51 dBA (Low) / 56 dBA (High): Designed for bedroom and living space use without disruptive noise levels.
  • ECO-Friendly R-32 Refrigerant: CFC-free, lead-free, and RoHS compliant - a greener choice for home cooling.

Model Options & Which to Choose

  • ARC-14S (Cooling Only): The ARC-14S provides 14,000 BTU (9,500 BTU SACC) of cooling power in three modes - air conditioner, fan, and dehumidifier. It does NOT include a heat mode. This is the ideal choice for warm-climate households or anyone who wants a high-performance, award-winning portable AC for summer use without the added cost of a heating function.
  • ARC-14SH (Cooling + Heat): The ARC-14SH adds a 13,000 BTU heating mode (ASHRAE), making it a true four-season climate control unit. Cooling is rated at 14,000 BTU (9,200 BTU SACC) and the heating thermostat operates between 61°F and 77°F in ambient conditions above 45°F. This model is perfect for year-round use in rooms that need both summer cooling and supplemental winter heat - eliminating the need for a separate space heater.

FAQ

What is the difference between the ARC-14S and the ARC-14SH?

The ARC-14S is a cooling-only unit with three modes: air conditioner, fan, and dehumidifier. The ARC-14SH includes all of those modes plus a heat mode rated at 13,000 BTU (ASHRAE), making it a four-season climate control solution. If you need year-round comfort from a single unit, the ARC-14SH is the right choice. If you only need summer cooling, the ARC-14S is an equally powerful and more affordable option.

Why is a dual hose design better than a single hose?

A single hose portable AC draws air from inside the room to cool the condenser, then exhausts that air outside - creating negative pressure that pulls warm outside air in through gaps and cracks. A dual hose unit like the ARC-14S/ARC-14SH uses a dedicated intake hose to pull outside air for the condenser and a separate exhaust hose to push heat out. This eliminates negative pressure and makes the unit significantly more efficient at cooling the target space.

Does this unit require manual draining?

In most environments, no. Both models use Whynter's patented auto-drain (self-evaporative) technology that exhausts condensation through the exhaust hose automatically. In very high humidity conditions, some moisture may collect in the internal tank and require occasional manual draining, but routine day-to-day operation is typically hands-free.

Does the fan run continuously, or does it shut off when the set temperature is reached?

When the room reaches within 5°F of the set temperature, the fan will switch to low speed and run for approximately 5 minutes before shutting off. It will then cycle on for about 1 minute every 15 minutes to check the ambient temperature. If the room rises more than 5°F above the set point, the compressor and fan will kick back on automatically.

What type of windows does the included window kit fit?

The included plastic window kit is designed to fit most standard vertically or horizontally sliding windows. It measures 6.5" W x 20" L (minimum) up to 56" L (maximum). It is not designed for casement-style or outward-opening windows without additional adaptation.

Is professional installation required?

No. These units are fully portable and require no permanent installation. Simply connect the dual hoses, attach the window kit to your sliding window, and plug into a standard 115V outlet. The unit rolls on casters for easy repositioning between rooms.
