![]() When we initially ran tests in 80–90☏ heat, we didn’t see much benefit from bulkier dual-hose setups. Dual-hose models are rare enough as it is! The ARC-122 DS Elite from Whynter is a quiet dual-hose air conditioner, and that makes it a bit of a unicorn. The 11 portable air conditioners we testedīest for heat waves: Whynter – 12,000 BTU Budget pick: Black + Decker – 8,000 BTU.Best single-hose: SereneLife 12,000 BTU. ![]() Best for heat waves: Whynter – 12,000 BTU.The 11 portable air conditioners we tested.For this 2021 update, we tested a new single-hose portable air conditioner, SereneLife 12,000 BTU, and were equally impressed by its cooling performance. This 12,000 BTU Whynter is also fairly quiet compared to the company’s big 14,000 BTU model that we also tested. The best window air conditioner is always going to cool more effectively than a portable, but the Whynter will at least minimize the amount of cold air that’s wasted. After five summers of testing in the California heat, our tests show that the best portable air conditioner overall is the dual-hose Whynter – ARC-122DS Elite.
