Danby - 14,000 BTU (12,000 SACC) 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner with Inverter - Dual hose / Remote / Wi-Fi (DPA120CBIMBDB, DPA120CBIMBDB-RF)

Portables are the least efficient (window mount units are middle, central AC the most efficient). HOWEVER, dual hose portables are WAY better than single hose. Some units have two separate hoses entirely, some have a single large split hose which accomplishes the same thing. We have [this one](https://www.visions.ca/danby-14-000-btu12-000-sacc-3-in-1-portable-inverter-dual-hose-remote-wi-fi-dpa120cbimbdb-rf?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw7pO_BhAlEiwA4pMQvNjTeUGAG62_GhpY4Hous1246LOde9aM88ZGkwNNQ_j1natT4Y-GjhoC20UQAvD_BwE) and it's much better than our two single hose units. Had it for two years.

Dual hose inverter. I had a Danby that was good. I've heard Whynter is good but the reviews for the new ones don't look great. Maybe more of a question for a different sub though.

Just got the rebadged Danby version of this. I even used the Midea Air App (at the suggestion of another redditor). I've always been against portable AC's compared to window shakers. Window units seem to last forever, cheaper, and work better, or so I thought. I went for this one because of the inverter and the dual hose, which are both in the same hose, and the self evaporating feature when using cool mode. I didn't want to empty any water, and the exhaust hose being inside the entire hose (idk it's hard to explain) helps cut down on heat returning into the room big time. Funny enough it only uses 250 more watts than the window unit I installed and removed. 1370 watts for a 12,000 btu a/c is on par with a window unit. I had to use an AC support stand for the window unit. It was sketch and was vibrating like a mofo so I went and got the portable one. Thing is quiet and pretty efficient, and the app is awesome. Don't have to buy a wifi ir blaster like in the past to control window units. Get the Midea or whatever rebranded version they have in your area, it's sweet 👍🏼

I have this one and it’s great…quiet and can use an app to control the unit so you can turn it on on your way home. https://www.costco.ca/.product.4000235918.html?langId=-24&province=ON&NATAPP=SEARCH&COSTID=iosapp_25.6.1&TRACKING=NO&adobe_mc=TS%3D1750212788%7CMCMID%3D04144384500392063134796221085155567446%7CMCORGID%3D97B21CFE5329614E0A490D45@AdobeOrg&sh=true&nf=true

I have the Danby one from Costco that I bought 3 years ago and still works fine. The good thing if you buy from Costco is their return policy, the bad thing is they sell out super quick so you literally have to line up before they open to get one.

Have had a Danby for more than 5 years. Caveat - I only use it when the heat is like this, and not all summer.
