Whynter ARC-DB Portable Air Conditioner Manual Drain Bucket

I bought this for our Whytner ARC 14s to make draining easier. I thought the price a little steep but it does what it should. I've only drained my unit about 3 times since owning, about once a month, all of those times where I've asked, "I wonder how much water is in the unit?" About one of these buckets worth.I unscrew the thing covering the whole, put the bucket against the hole and lean the unit towards me. The water comes out and I carry it to the sink. I say it works well. Previously I used a sheet pan to put under the unit and collect whatever water came out. I suppose the bucket is easier than the sheet pan. Recommended!

It fits the bill and a solid piece. Only complaint is 'why' couldn't Whynter given the tube that will reach from the drain into the drainer? I mean, come on! Had to buy one from Home Depot and just leave it on the drain and it's length just sits within the drain container behind the air conditioner.

I wish had known about this before I bought my new window AC unit. This product should appear every time someone thinks of buying a portable AC unit. So you don't have to use the hose that comes with it, which ended up being a mess.

This was a complete waste of money. Trying to angle this thing in a way where the water came out of the AC , then trying to keep it from spilling on the floor was ridiculous. I tried this multiple times and eventually realized that a small baking sheet that I had could slide under the ac and allow it to drain without issue. I also used an absorbent sponge in the tray to keep the water from sloshing around and out of the tray. So for less than $10 I had a solution that I’m still using a year later. Couldn’t return this because the time period had passed.

I use this for my ARC-122DS. The little spout on the bucket fits just under the draining opening but it's not quite long enough to catch the water if it's dripping slowly, which means the water will stick to the AC more and end up dripping to the bottom of the opening rather than into the bucket. It would work best in conjunction with a small amount of flexible tubing, which is pretty inconvenient. I do like the shape of the bucket; it's easier to transport than a plate of water.

A little weird to use, as I am unfamiliar with itBut will be using it a lot this summerIt is lightweight, easy to attach/un-attach, and easy to empty

When I tip my ac unit to pour water out, the water spills down between the ac and this device. Otherwise it’s good

I dislike it cause it does not do the job well.
