Hisense - AP1022HW1GD

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.

Well, I bought the Hisense for our sunroom from Lowe’s. I’m in Middle Midwest US. It’s a heat pump/AC combo. The first one @ 1 day old just put out 90* heat and the AC compressor kicked on and off nonstop and never actually cooled the room. Fast forward 4 days and The second one sounds like a dying whale it cools but the room is never below 76-77* and never shuts off. I’m going to take it back to Lowe’s, and I’ll just install a mini split myself.

Just chiming in on portable ACs - picked up a Hisense dual hose from Costco last summer for our 10x12 room. Works great for nighttime (9pm to 6am) use and it’s not too loud. Only saw about a $1/day bump on the PG&E bill. Night and day difference compared to our window unit (other room) that’s loud AF and makes our electric bill cry. Lol

I bought a hisense dual hose from costco. It may not be as efficient as a window unit but so easy to install and overall does a great job

I have a dual hose hisense that I got from costco. I drain it from time to time but outside that, it doesnt really say any other maintance, there is no removable filter. sometimes it smells when it first turns on, is that something I can clean or fix?

yeah, in my opinion the single hose ones should be illegal. They literally blow conditioned air out of your window. Fair disclosure, I'm an engineer at a commercial HVAC manufacturer. But in my home I have 3 Hisense dual hose portable ACs I got refurbished on Amazon for $230 or so each. They're worth every penny. I used to have a single hose unit a friend gave me and I just don't use it anymore. Loud and slow and can't keep even a small room cool in the heat where I live.
