ARC-DB Manual Drain Bucket – Condensate Collection Accessory for Whynter Portable Air Conditioners

perfect for the job

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

Not worth the money

This bucket is great for draining water from your portable AC unit

Does not workk well for my arc14sh. It is difficult to line up just right to catch the water just right. I usually end up with puddle under the unit when I am done.

So yes it does fit barely under the drain opening but it's really lightweight and doens't hold a lot of condensation. If you're having a drip drip kind of drain it should be okay but don't even think about using this while in dehumidifier mode. Overall it's an okay product but it's so over priced I think I could have made something just as good for a lot cheaper. It's a $10 product for over $30.

I no longer have to take my portable a/c to ti[p and drain in the shower. I elevated my portable a/c with these : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DRTSPJ4S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 This is enough room to get this draining tool underneath without disconnecting anything. There is enough room to slant the drain tool vertically. The angles of this drain tool are perfectly designed to drain the upper and lower sections.

Very small and fills up pretty quickly
