Gasbye Dual Hose Portable Air Conditioner, [2026 Upgraded] Full DC Inverter Compressor, Energy-Saving 13.6 CEER, Low Noise (45dB), Cools Room up to 500 Sq.Ft., Backlit Remote Control, 14,000BTU, White

9.1

Best for efficiency-focused buyers who want honest performance claims.

DOE-verified 13.6 CEER for excellent energy efficiency

Transparent SACC rating avoids inflated BTU claims

Dual-hose setup for faster, balanced cooling

Backlit remote and display-off for undisturbed sleep

Slightly higher noise at 45 dB versus 42 dB models

Smaller SACC means less coverage than some 14k models

[Peak Efficiency with Full DC Inverter Tech] This 10,500 BTU SACC(14000 BTU ASHRAE 128) portable air conditioner, suitable for cooling room up to 500 Sq.Ft., boasts a 13.6 CEER rating verified by DOE, representing the pinnacle of energy efficiency in its market. Since we don’t inflate the BTU rating of our unit, its size may be larger compared to some other "mini" models that falsely advertise 14,000 BTU. ❗❗❗Unit dimensions: 15.5" D × 17.7" W × 29.3" H — please make sure your space can accommodate this true full-size 14,000 BTU unit (not a "mini" model with inflated specs)

[Dual-Hose Cooling] Unlike single-hose portable AC units for room that can cause negative pressure and hot air influx, our dual-hose system ensures rapid cooling and maintains balanced indoor pressure for faster, more efficient room temperature control (61°F - 90°F). If you're upgrading from a single-hose unit, you can expect a cooler, more comfortable summer

[Say Goodbye to Compressor Noise] Inverter Mode reduces the compressor's frequency to 50% load within 2 mins, lowering noise to about 45dB. This allows our Inverter AC to actively adjust compressor frequency for noise control, alongside traditional fan speed settings. You'll no longer have to endure the noise from compressor while you sleep

[Your Room Doesn’t Need Full Power All the Time] A typical 10,500 BTU SACC portable AC can draw around 1,300 watts at full power. Traditional fixed-speed ACs mainly adjust fan speed, which usually changes power use by only a few dozen watts. Gasbye Inverter ACs adjust compressor output instead: Turbo Mode runs at about 800–1,300 watts for fast cooling, while Inverter Mode lowers power to about 500–800 watts when less cooling is needed. That 400–500 watt difference lets you choose full-power cooling for hot days or lower-power operation for milder nights—helping reduce electricity use

[Night-Friendly Controls] Backlit remote for easy nighttime use, plus a Display Off feature that turns off the top panel lights for undisturbed sleep

[𝟯-𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲] If you purchased our portable air conditioner based on a statement in our listing and feel it doesn't meet your expectations after use, you can directly 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 Gasbye Support for a 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗨𝗡𝗗 or 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧. In addition, all replacement units we provide are 𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗡𝗘𝗪, not refurbished. You can trust Gasbye—we stand behind our products, and if you check customer 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀, you'll see our support team usually 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟐 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬

❗❗❗Both the intake and exhaust hoses are 5.9" in diameter and 59" in length. If your window is higher and the hoses can’t reach, we do not recommend using extension hoses, as they increase resistance to heat dissipation and may reduce the unit’s cooling performance. A better solution is to place the AC unit on a small table or sturdy stand to raise its height

❗❗❗The package includes two 20-inch window brackets and one 10-inch window bracket. If your window is larger, don’t worry. After receiving your portable AC, you can request additional window brackets for 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘

❗❗❗In most cases, portable ACs do not require manual drainage. But if the humidity is over 85% RH and the room isn’t sealed, moisture from outside can continuously enter, which may exceed the unit’s auto-evaporation capacity and require manual drainage. In such cases, unlike many portable ACs with drainage outlets at the bottom, our unit includes an additional drainage outlet positioned higher on the back, making the process much easier
