Our Verdict
Whynter ARC-14S
Hisense AP1022HW1GD
The Whynter ARC-14S and the Hisense AP1022HW1GD are pretty evenly matched A/Cs overall. Both are non-inverter portable dual-hose units designed for bigger spaces. However, the Whynter's compressor cycling is far more regular than that of the Hisense, minimizing swings in temperature when it's placed in an undersized environment. It also results in more frequent and just as noticeable changes in ambient humidity during operation. The Hisense is also quieter and takes up less room.
