The Whynter - ARC-122DS Elite is the best portable air conditioner for blazing summer heat waves.
See it on Amazon: geni.us/Whynter122DS
Or at Home Depot: homedepot.sjv.io/zDxy0
The LG 12,000 BTU is the best portable air conditioner for more moderate climates.

We spent three summers researching and testing eight different portable air conditioners. We used them in bedrooms, living rooms and offices. We tested in controlled conditions using space heaters, and also in real summer heat waves.
If you have a slide-down window that can fit a window air conditioner, install one of those instead: www.yourbestdigs.com/reviews/...
Many of us can’t install window units, though, either because we have slider windows or because of fire code. If you’re about to suffer through one more increasingly hot summer without relief, a portable unit can help.

Our picks for the best portable air conditioner:
• Whynter - ARC-122DS Elite: geni.us/Whynter122DS
• LG - LP1218GXR: geni.us/LG2018
• Whynter 14,000 BTU: geni.us/whynter14sh
• LG - 2015 model (old winner): geni.us/lg12kbtu
• Frigidaire 12,000 BTU: geni.us/FrigidairePortable
• LG - 2017 model: geni.us/LG2017
• Honeywell - 10,000 BTU: geni.us/honeywellmn10
When purchasing a portable air conditioner, the top features to consider are:
• Performance: portables aren't as efficient as window units, so make sure you're getting something that works for you
• Noise: monster-sized 14,000 BTU models are better at cooling a room, but they can be unbearable to sleep beside
• Portability: We also picked models that are lighter and easier to move around
• Controls: remotes, sleep modes, and timers go a long way to helping you use an AC more efficiently
After testing, The Whynter - ARC-122DS Elite is our pick for best portable air conditioner. Learn more at Amazon: geni.us/Whynter122DS

Great video. I live in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia where past our summers were pure bliss. Hardly got up to 80F and no humidity. I've lived in San Diego and Phx so I know what you're talking about where the heat is concerned. Last few summers here have been getting hotter. Last summer the stores couldn't get enough a/c's in fast enough of any kind. This year I already bought 2 portable a/c's. I live in an A Frame rental. The upstairs is horrid in the summer even with the windows open. I'm noise sensitive UGH. So I have to sleep with windows closed and two fans blowing directly on me. This morning I installed one of the a/c's and it was easy. Cooled off things fast. Small upstairs. I'll hookup the one downstairs if needed. The fan noise will not bother me at all because I use a noise machine now to drown out, outside noises. I just won't use the noise machine lol. The brand is Midea and it's a 6000BTU unit. This old place is still on fuses believe it or not so I had to watch the power draw. I won't ever have both units running at the same time. I was restricted to this one brand because of the BTU's but I think it's going to be fine.

I have a dual hose unit and I slipped a length of duct insulation over the exhaust hose to eliminate the radiated heat coming from it. Now the room is that much cooler then before. It's amazing what a little inginuity can come up with especially when the unit is not close to the window thus exposing a lot of heat generating exhaust hose.

We live in Minnesota, where last summer we hit 100 on June 1st. In addition, we have horrible humidity and dewpoints (many days dewpoints are 65-70 deg). We moved into an 850 sq ft house and last summer was our first here. We've no central air so we decided to get the LG 14,000 BTU unit. We moved air through the house with 2 box fans. If you're going to get one of these, you can get a lot more mileage if you wrap the exhaust hose with reflective duct wrap. Also, since there's so much humidity that gets pulled, you'll need an automatic condensate pump to get rid of the water. This did really well for us, and only struggled on the hottest of days. This year we'll have a window unit, but we'll put the LG in our bedroom for nighttime use.

* It would be great if you mentioned -- For a dual-hose design - If it's significantly hotter inside than outside (like your space heater case), you can disconnect the intake hose, and run it as a single hose. So it will take inside air and reject it outside. Essentially doing the same thing as single hose. The negative pressure created means, in addition to AC cooling, the outside air pulled in passively will be cooler than inside too. So single hose has no benefit, if you do it this way :)

I've have a SoleusAIR lx140 (14k BTU, Duel hose) I got about 15 years ago( Live in So. CA SGValley, Gets hot/cold too). It is a heater, air conditioner, fan, dehumidifier. I personally don't understand why anyone would buy a AC only unit. its called a heat pump. Electric Cars all use this method (My Leaf does) now cause it's soo much more electric effecient. I had to take my soleus apart cause it was leaking water, found out it was fine just needed to be cleaned. saw them at Frys a few days ago... I have no furnace/ or central air and I work a late grave... need heat and cooling. this thing is amazing still. BY THE WAY! DO not roll portables around! man up, carry the thing. shaking the thing is bad for the guts of an AC, any AC.

I've used two single hose portable a/c units for several years now. The heat that comes out the hose before it reaches the window is incredible. It's uncomfortable to hold your hand on the hose while the a/c is operating. What the manufacturers need to do is come up with a hose that's insulated, or an insulation wrap sold separately, like the ones for hot water heaters.

@jonathanmathews8496 5 жыл бұрын

Flex duct is a commonly used item in the hvac industry and is often decently insulated. An easy fix for the heat issue could be to get a length of flex duct that fits over the existing hoses you have. That way you dont have to make any modifications to the unit and the hose should still be just as flexible.

@Captain_Terp 4 жыл бұрын

Hey man question, can you run a dual hose unit without the intake hose attached and effectively make it run as a "single hose" type and achieve the same results? If so, then one could mount the unit so that on mild days, you run it as a single hose unit, drawing room air and cooling easily, and when its hot, reattach the intake hose and run it as designed, taking outside air to cool the condenser. If I have something wrong here, let me know. I've battled with these units trying to get results out of them in extreme conditions and the only difference i could make to the performance was insulating the exhaust hose so that the heat being exhausted wasn't leaking back into the room through the hose walls. That probably gained me 2-2.5c more cooling power once I used roof-grade heating duct R2.0 to run the exhaust air out.

Great video. I would be interested in seeing how single hose, dual hose, and window seated ACs performance compares during summers in hot and dry locations like Pheonix, Arizona versus hot and humid locations like Orlando, Florida. Humidity is a factor that these videos never seem to consider and compare for indoor AC units. Maybe they all compare the same in each type of environment. But I think that the evaporative capability of the environment could possibly change your test results and conclusions... possibly. Would be interesting to see.

@brycering5989 4 жыл бұрын

Most air-con units will cause the room to become less humid (Less water in the air) recirculating the air in the room (Dual hose or window mount) will mean you are not continually condensing the water out of the air/ looking at the chart presented in this video, you can see how the room quickly gets cool, with that the room will be less humid (Not drawing new humid air in) so does your question to ask more to the point, is there more heat energy in humid air or dry air? or does it ask, without knowing about humidity drop due to condensation, which will use more power humid environment or dry air environment? If you plan on the single-hose unit, your question may be more important, but if you use the duel hose or window mount, its just an initial conditioning. where new heat only enters the room by radiation through walls windows sunlight entering the room etc. (IE now new air coming in, or much less than the single-hose units) physics.stackexchange.com/questions/45349/how-air-humidity-affects-how-much-time-is-needed-for-heating-the-air I can only assume withing natural reasoning that the reverse effect is the same energyforums.net/hvac/how-humidity-affects-heating-and-cooling/ this one speaks specifically about cooling and heating.

Hello Your Best Digs This summer I have decided to cool my apartment. At first I wanted a window AC. But firstly I would have to do some mods to my window since I have cassement windows (meaning they swing open). Secondly I cannot find them since I live in Switzerland (they seem to be banned in Europe). Now I thought about a split system, but that's not possible since I'm on the third floor of an apartment building... Now this seems to be my only option. I just wanted to ask if you know a different good cooling system?

@usfanlovesjiwoo1978 5 жыл бұрын

We live in the NE in PA and an AC is needed everyday from late spring to late summer and it is in the mid to high 90's quite often. We have the DeLonghi with 12,000 btu's and one with 14,000 btu's and they do a great job. Never have to empty any water except at the end of the season, we just release the small amount of water which is one of the things I love about them. We recently had a heat index of 118 that lasted 3 days and these bad boys did the job and never stopped blowing cold air. Would not hesitate to buy a DeLonghi. My daughter and my two sisters also own one and they all are very pleased as well.

Hi, great review! One thing you haven't tested (or at least not mentioned), which is also very important for the indoor climate, is air humidity. Some models dehumidifies the air more than others, which make higher temperatures more bearable. Do you think there is some way in which you could test this too?

@YourBestDigs 5 жыл бұрын

Humidity is more difficult for us to control in tests, but theoretically, the dual-hose should do a much better job of keeping air dry, since there's no need to draw damp air in from outside to replace the exhaust air. Anecdotally, that's been true in the conditions we've tested in, but it's not especially humid here. (Southern California.) The rated peak dehumidifier performance numbers for these new 12,00BTU portables range from 74 pints to 79 pints-per-day, so they're comparable in that regard. A 14,000 BTU model can do 100 to 150 pints-per-day, so it can get more air out of the room, but it also cools the room more quickly so you might have the AC shut off when there's still lots of humidity in the air.

What do you suggest/recommend for a lower level duplex in Los Angeles? A dual or single hose? I’m looking to cool a living room/dining room area. I have a separate window unit in my bedroom. Being on the ground floor, I can’t have a window unit in the living room area cause it would cut into the driveway width and I have to get a portable. Any help would be great! Thank!
