      10,000 BTU (SACC) single-hose portable air conditioner

      10,000 BTU single-hose portable AC, 7.9 CEER

      Below average efficiency for its size: a CEER of 7.9 beats 34% of the certified 10,000 BTU portable air conditioners.

      A unit with these ratings delivers 10,000 BTU of real cooling (SACC), enough for about 350-450 sq ft, draws about 1266 watts and costs about $171 a year to run at typical U.S. use and prices. A window unit that cools as much costs about $90 a year.

      Includes LG LP1027WS, Midea MAP10S1XWT, Whynter ARC-1050XP and 307 more model numbers, all certified at these ratings. Full list

      A good fit if…

      • You do not want to empty a bucket - it evaporates the water and sends it out through the hose in normal weather.

      Think twice if…

      • Running cost matters most - its CEER is below average for 10,000 BTU portable air conditioners.
      • You want the most efficient design - one-hose units pull warm air in through gaps; dual-hose units lead the efficiency ranks.
      • You also need heat - it cools only.

      Questions7
      What size room does a unit with these ratings cool?
      10,000 BTU of real cooling (SACC) suits about 350 to 450 sq ft with normal sun and two people (about 315-405 sq ft if very sunny), by the ENERGY STAR floor-area table. Size by SACC, not the larger BTU on the box.
      How many watts does a unit with these ratings use, and what does it cost to run?
      About 1266 watts at full power (10,000 BTU/h divided by its CEER of 7.9), roughly 11.0 amps if it runs on 115 V. At 750 hours a year and 18.0¢/kWh that is about $171, which is $0 less than the typical certified 10,000 BTU portable unit ($171). Its CEER beats 34% of the 706 certified models in its size class.
      Is a one-hose portable air conditioner a problem?
      It is the common design: 78% of the certified 10,000 BTU models have one hose, with a median of 7.9 CEER. The top-ranked Midea MAP12S1TBL has two hoses and 14.7 CEER.
      Do I have to empty a unit with these ratings?
      Usually not. It evaporates the water it removes and sends it out through the exhaust hose. In very humid weather the pan can still fill, and most units then stop and ask to be drained, so keep a drain hose or a bucket handy.
      Can a unit with these ratings also heat the room?
      No, it only cools. 200 of the 706 certified 10,000 BTU portable models can also heat if you want one unit for the year.
      Is a unit with these ratings as efficient as a window air conditioner?
      No. The 35 ENERGY STAR certified window units that cool about as much (within 15% of 10,000 BTU) have a median CEER of 15.0, against 7.9 here, and the best reach 17.6. At 750 hours a year a window unit with that median would cost about $90, $81 less than this one. ENERGY STAR window units are the more efficient part of the window market, so the gap to an average window unit is smaller. A portable unit makes sense when a window unit will not fit or is not allowed.
      Which model numbers have the same ratings as a unit with these ratings?
      310 certified model numbers from 75 brands share these ratings: capacity, CEER, hose design, heating, drain type and compressor. They may be the same unit under different brands, or different products that test the same; the DOE data does not include dimensions or noise, so check those with the maker. The full list is on this page.

      Electricity used: 1,671 kWh a yearAn old 9 CEER unit of the same size would cost $235

      Power draw is capacity divided by CEER, which already includes standby power. Inverter units often run below full power, so real use can be lower. Electricity prices: U.S. EIA residential averages (12 months to July 2026). Days a year start from your state's cooling degree days (NOAA 1991-2020 normals).
