Source: whynter.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by shopwhynter.com. Whynter's manufacturer product page (whynter.com) and its official store (shopwhynter.com) both identify SKU ARC-1230WN (NEX Inverter, 14,000 BTU ASHRAE / 12,000 BTU SACC dual-hose) and state verbatim: 14,000 BTU ASHRAE, 12,000 BTU SACC, 600 sq ft coverage, Dual Hose (Hose-in-hose), Heat Mode No, Smart WiFi (NetHome Plus app + Amazon Alexa / Google Home), and noise "<42.5 dB low / 49.5 dB medium / 56.5 dB high" (56.5 taken as the highest published fan-speed figure). The official Whynter store lists the regular price as $609.99 USD; Amazon (ASIN B09TP51PPH, Model Number ARC-1230WN, Manufacturer Whynter) independently confirms the same ARC-1230WN model and 600 sq ft rating. Neither cited page states a release year (Amazon's ambiguous "Start Year 2024" and 2024 award mentions are not a manufacturer release date), so releaseDate and the release spec are left null.
