AP0825TW1SAHP Inverter Portable AC Smart with Heat Pump- Dual Hose Tower

https://www.costco.com/.product.4000330563.html?COSTID=iosapp_25.8.6&TRACKING=NO&sh=true&nf=true Get one like this that has dual hose. One pulls the cold air in and the other pulls the hot air out of your room. Otherwise, the heat will be trapped in your room when you turn it off.

Only buy dual hose portable AC if thats your only option, other wise Mini split is the next best choice. Ive had good luck with my Hisense dual hose unit and been working fine for AC/Heat since last year. Only downside is the remote and interface Hisense 8000 BTU DOE 115-Volt Vented Medium Room Smart Portable Air Conditioner with Heater, Remote Included

I have one of these. It's a tower so smaller footprint, a heat-pump so you get hot and cold, and inverter driven so nice and quiet. Only downside of heat-pumps is you need a drain for the condensate. I bought a small condensate pump and pump it straight out the window though haha.

What’s your budget? I’ve used many portable air conditioners over the past ten years, and this one is by FAR the best https://www.costco.com/hisense-8000-btu-dual-hose-portable-tower-air-conditioner.product.4000346410.html

I just got option #3 in today and so far so good. Our weather cooled off before I could get it set up so I won't really get to see how it performs until it warms up again this weekend.

Do you have a computer or anything else in it that generates heat (besides yourself)? I have an 8k dual hose hisense with inverter and it has been great over the past year. Mine is actually a heat pump and the heat has come in handy a couple times. Inverter models only draw as much power as they needs (non-inverter are either full power on or off). I was just playing a fairly intensive game and the AC is currently drawing about 322 watts to counteract the much higher wattage my computer was drawing. As I was typing this I heard it adjust and it looks like the Hisense just dropped down to about 270 watts. At full power it can draw around 900. My room is smaller than yours but during the summer it can get quite warm (vaulted ceiling in old tudor home) since the central air doesn't reach it as effectively. I'd rather have too much than not enough in this case.

Hot sleep sucks. Your laptop is definitely not going to put out as much heat as my desktop. Either way, when I last looked it seemed like the better units start at 8000k btu. If you get a dual hose inverter model you should be set.

I've had that one since late last summer. Been working great so far, even used it for heat a couple times in the winter. Haven't had to drain condensation, it seems to handle that find in our climate. No idea how long it will last, hopefully until we do more mini splits

I have not done that direct comparison, but considering it works as a heat pump and not a resistive heater, it should be much cheaper to run for heating.

I have a different dual hose Hisense (with inverter) in my home office. Knock on wood so far so good, but I haven't even had it a year yet.
