Hi Don, <br><br> The unit is rated 12,000 BTU under the ASHRAE -128 Standard and 7,700 BTU under the SACC-DOE Standard. <br><br> The SACC rating is a result of the newer federal test standard that was established by the Department of Energy. Models manufactured before 2017 were tested under a different standard (ASHRAE) that produced a higher cooling capacity output. While the SACC BTU’s are lower than the previous ASHRAE BTU’s, the construction and cooling capacity of this model(s) remains unchanged. Both the SACC and ASHRAE ratings are included for consumer comparison.<br><br> If you have additional questions, our Customer Support Team is available Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST at 1-866-WHYNTER (1-866-949-6837) and at support@whynter.com.

I don't know where the drain is located, but I haven't had to deal with any condensation draining out of the unit yet after a month of use and living in a very humid environment (Hawaii). That said, I did place the drain hose in a bucket, and put an appliance tray with a 1.5 inch lip to catch any water. Might be overkill, but I prefer to have and not need than to need and not have.

As someone who doesn't live in a part of the country where air conditioning is normally not required, I will confess to being ignorant of what a "portable air conditioner" means. What is OBVIOUS to you may not be so obvious to others. I would say, it is NOT OBVIOUS to someone unfamiliar with air conditioning to confuse these units with the ones that claim to be air conditioners but are actually evaporative coolers that sit on a shelf or counter. "Portable" is a misnomer. If you pick these up (60-80 pounds) to move them room-to-room (dragging hoses and window kits along with?) this hardly seems to be a "portable" unit. What makes them "portable" as opposed to the more permanent types that are mounted in window frames just means you can (with effort) move these mini-monsters around. If you're a senior citizen with mobility issues living in an upstairs/downstairs unit, I'm thinking these are hardly "portable."

Hello Bud, <br><br> Please note, all of our portable air conditioners require a window kit to be installed in order to properly function. <br><br> If you have additional questions, our Customer Support Team is available Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST at 1-866-WHYNTER (1-866-949-6837) and at support@whynter.com.
