Our Verdict

Toshiba RAC-WK0512CMRU

Toshiba RAC-WK0612CRRU

The Toshiba RAC-WK0612CRRU and Toshiba RAC-WK0512CMRU are both window-mounted ACs with slightly different capacities. The WK0612CRRU is the fractionally larger, pricier option with an advertised capacity of 6,000 BTU/hr versus the WK0512CMRU's 5,000 BTU/hr. This gap in capacity isn't really sufficient enough to run the risk of cooling an equivalently-sized room too quickly and causing a buildup in humidity. The WK0612CRRU 's somewhat greater capacity also means it won't necessarily have to work quite as hard in spaces where it'd be undersized, leading to slightly less wear and tear over time. Beyond that, the WK0612CRRU, unlike the WK0512CMRU, has a digital thermometer that allows you to check the desired temperature and comes with a remote control to operate the unit from a distance.
