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 larger spaces, with near-identical cooling capacity. That said, the Hisense is also quieter and takes up less room.
