Product Description
A key feature of this portable air conditioner is its compact size and dual-hose system which facilitates better space utilization and more efficient cooling. The Whynter ARC-122DS portable air conditioner is the ideal solution for the warm spots in your home, office, server room or other constrained area. Portable and easy to set up, this portable air conditioner offers cooling relief for any area where excess humidity and heat cannot be remedied by traditional air conditioning. The unit can be easily setup in almost any indoor location and is most commonly used in data closets/server rooms, bedrooms, classrooms and garages or workshops. The Whynter ARC-122DS portable air conditioner provides 12,000 BTU cooling output while maintaining a compact and portable profile. The dehumidifier mode allows you to extract 76 pints of excess moisture during a 24-hour period. Equipped with an intake and exhaust hose, this system allows for more air intake, cooling power, and constant air pressure, which results to a faster cooling rate compared to single-hose units (can be operated as single hose as well). save energy and money by setting the unit to run only when you need it. Using the 24 hour programmable timer, the ARC-122DS can efficiently cool your space before you even get there. The timer allows you to set the unit to cycle on automatically, or once it is on, you can set it to automatically turn off. Equipped with a remote control that can easily control the Speed, temperature, and dehumidifier settings even from a distance, the Whynter ARC-122DS also comes with rolling casters that will allow you to move the portable air conditioner room to room. Its programmable features, operating modes, and adaptable design make this unit the perfect option for keeping rooms up to 400 square feet cool and comfortable (ambient temperature and humidity may influence optimum performance).

Overall, I like the dual hose functionality and believe that single hose systems should rarely (perhaps never) be used. But based on the rapid failure of the unit I received, I advise caution to anyone looking at Whynter for their cooling needs.
I've included photos showing the server closet where the unit was installed, as well as several photos of the severely corroded evaporator coil.

Update: After some back and forth emails with Whynter CS, the only option is indeed for me to ship it at my cost to CA. I don't have the original packaging, which requires me to spend money on packing this thing. After considering the cost and effort, I've decided to trash it and buy in the future from merchants that have repair options to send a tech out to your home, or at least offer a local repair facility. This is an absolutely ridiculous solution for the end-customer.
Mobility: 122DS is bigger and roughly 20lb heavier than the Haier, it was difficult for me to move the delivered package by myself from the porch to within my apartment. The casters on the bottom, however, must be well designed as it was easier for me to roll around without catching the carpet than the previous unit and so was not much trouble maneuvering after the packaging was removed.
Noise: The Whynter unit has virtually no compressor noise (humming / gurgling) compared to the previous unit, I cannot hear it unless I press my ear against the unit. Because there isn't much variation in just fan noise I feel I could sleep comfortably with this unit with the low fan setting if needed in the bedroom.
Installation. I'm not very handy, it took me around 2 hours to get put together and started. The hoses were a bit unwieldy and I made the mistake of wrapping the exhaust with reflective wrap Reflectix DW1202504 Spiral Duct Wrap before hooking up to the window; I had to unwrap everything to bend the hoses to the correct position and re-wrap. The pvp window kit seemed much sturdier and thicker than the Haier window kit, but it was also a bit unyielding and painful to position correctly, especially with trying to wrangle two hoses versus the single of the old unit.
Effectiveness: My central air has been out and so the portable AC unit is the sole cooling source right now for my ~750 sqft apartment, installed in the living room. Here are some figures from my crude observations (Ambient represents roughly inside apartment temperature according to old wall thermostat in living room):
Haier:
Outside 95F, Ambient 82F, Cooled to 79F after ~5 hours.
Outside 85F, Ambient 78F, Cooled to 75F after ~5 hours.
Whynter:
Outside 85F, Ambient 78F, Cooled to 69F after ~5 hours.
Outside 88F, Ambient 79F, Cooled to 71F after ~5 hours.
Outside 80F, Ambient 77F, Cooled to 72F after ~3.5 hours.
The past three days have been very comfortable for me. I am pleased with this unit's cooling ability and would strongly recommend it if found within the $425 - $460 range.
Other notes: Used Frost King EPDM Weather Seal around bottom and side edges, Blue control panel light automatically turns off after ~10 seconds of interaction with the control panel (does not keep light on), using the remote for the first time reset the main unit's settings (temp / fan), advertised as 12 EER but the yellow government energy guide sticker that came with the shipment stated 11.1 EER, the online guide for this unit specifies the large hose goes on intake and small on exhaust but the instructions that were provided with the unit specified large hose on exhaust and small on intake (how I installed), the control panel displays desired cooling temperature (not current room temp) while on cooling mode.

The only flaw of this product is the window kit. It is short when putting it vertically and we still need to buy an extra window kit just to fill the window gap.
The price is also a bit high that we paid as much as $1400. The price is doubled compared to other online stores like Wayfair.

It looks nice, works fine and is noticeably smaller and quieter than our old Commercial Cool dual hose portable AC unit so we will not be returning it.

Window kit is guaranteed to leave air gaps so make sure you also buy insulation tape or something to compensate.
