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!

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

Just what I needed. I have the midea portable AC and this works fine for draining it. Only thing is, you will have to lift the AC on top of a crate or something to be able to reliably drain the bottom tray. A bit of a hassle since the AC is quite heavy. Be careful and try to lift it straight up as water can drip from the inside.

Absolutely useless.Better to drill a hoke in the floor and hook a plastic tube to the drain hole so it just drains outside.

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

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.

Made to catch water condensation in the whitener portable air conditioner. Works great

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.
