Got two of these to cool off a big 24' event dome. Worked great, even in 90+ heat at an outdoor event. We left them on for nearly five days straight without one problem.
On another note: Quality Matters was outstanding to work with and helped me get these out to Hawaii for our event. Top notch service and very friendly. Thanks!

Great Performance

We placed the unit on our sun porch (14x24) and we have used the a/c and heater. It has lived up to our expectations and we love it! It hasn't turned real cold yet so can't say for sure how it will perform then. Would recommend to anyone that needs an a/c-heater but doesn't want the expense of getting a heat-pump.

Not what I expected

The unit seems well made and blows tons of cold air but the vent where air exits is almost pointing at the ceiling. You will have to invest in the extension kit if you think you are going to have it away from the window or exhaust port at all. The machine is loud Don't think you can run it in the room your watching tv unless your using headphones. It's cooling ability because of it's upward blowing makes it about an 8000btu. It would not cool my room of about 300sq. ft. You better have ceiling fans or its dismal. I would love to be able to exchange it because it such a failure.

So far, so good

I only received this unit yesterday, so just writing on 2 days worth of experience. I have an office that's about 450 sq feet with no windows. Set up and installation is really all of 5 minutes (I suggest watching the video on the Whynter website). With respect to heating, I haven't tried the heating function. As for cooling, it definitely made my office much more tolerable in about half an hour (and the exhaust isn't even properly set up - I have it leading out a back door, so some of that heat is coming back in). QM had the best price. When I ordered it, it was backordered. I was getting antsy when I was emailed that QM would be expecting units a few days later from what was originally expected. I went as far as canceling my order, and then after regretting canceling, called back. The customer rep was tremendous in reinstating my order so I wouldn't lose my place. It was a great experience shopping from QM and I expect to shop here again.

Whynter ARC-14SH Review

Excellent so far. We have a large old victorian and it did an excellent job cooling main floor (plus some bonus semi-conditioned air up the stairwell). We don't feel it is too load for what it does. Outside of the house ours is the only unit not making lots of noise.
We have not had to empty any water - we are in New England and don't have very many high humidity days.
