Whynter NEX Inverter 13,000 BTU Dual Hose Smart Portable Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier & Fan | ARC-1280WX
Smart Inverter Cooling with Maximum Efficiency & Control
The Whynter ARC-1280WX is a 13,000 BTU portable air conditioner built to cool larger living spaces, open-plan rooms, and home offices up to 500 square feet. The dual-hose system draws in fresh outdoor air to cool your space, then exhausts warm air outside, delivering faster, more efficient cooling than single-hose models. Powered by advanced NEX Inverter technology, it automatically adjusts its output to maintain your ideal temperature, using less energy and running noticeably quieter than conventional portable air conditioners. Built-in WiFi lets you control the temperature from your phone via the NetHome Plus app, or hands-free with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Apple Siri.
With 5-speed fan control, you can dial in airflow from a gentle background breeze to full-power cooling. At as low as 50 dBA, it runs quietly enough for bedrooms and home offices without disrupting sleep or focus. The built-in dehumidifier pulls excess moisture from the air, so your room stays cool and comfortable even on the most humid summer days. An activated carbon filter tackles odors and airborne impurities, keeping your indoor air fresh. A 24-hour programmable timer means your room is already cool when you walk in, and the sleep mode quietly maintains your set temperature overnight.
No permanent installation needed, just position it near a window, attach the included exhaust hose kit, and start cooling within minutes. Backed by Whynter's 1-year warranty with a 3-year warranty on the compressor, the ARC-1280WX is built to last. If you're looking for a reliable, free-standing portable air conditioning unit that you can move room to room without any permanent modifications, the ARC-1280WX delivers the performance and convenience you need.
