Be careful with Meaco...
We have 2 of their fans, and a small dehumidifier - all of which work great.
However the MeacoCool 16000BTU Portable Air conditioner we bought in 2025 is now on its second replacement... its not even been a year since original purchase.
The first one leaked... had to stick it in a kids paddling pool whilst running it and waiting for them to sort return/replacement.
The second lasted for the summer of 2025, but when I stuck it on in early May 2026 - it stopped conditioning the air. The unit was blowing out the same heat as the exhaust - despite making all the normal noises of the compressor / condenser being on... sent back for repair. They couldn't repair it, so sent us our third unit in under 12 months.
Fingers crossed...
Have a meacocool for a fair few years. Has lasted well through several heat waves. It is loud but that is more bearable than the heat. However my wife complains about being "too cold" with it on during heatwaves so I can't bloody win
You can usually hack a single hose into a dual hose: https://www.woolie.co.uk/article/convert-ac-from-single-hose-to-dual-hose/
I have done this with my Meaco Cool and a 3d printed adaptor.
Nabbed one from them on a Black Friday deal a couple of years ago and it's absolutely transformed my summer sleep quality.
Having solar panels on the house also minimises the energy costs beyond a quick burst in the evening to cool the room before going to bed.
