10,000 BTU DOE Smart Portable Air Conditioner with Heat, MAP10HS1XWGR

I live in London Ontario, Canada and am looking for a portable AC that will run continuously even when the compressor stops. I need the white noise. The 10,000 Midea single hose, turns right off and I’m struggling. #help EDIT: I figure it out! I pushed the fan button for 3 seconds and the fan will continue. Thanks everyone for your help!

I have had the same unit that heats as well for the last 2 years. Best part about it is I can mount the exhaust ports in my window without having to take the screen out so I never worry about bugs. Depending on the distance between the screen and the window sash, you may be able to do the same.

I have the reversible heat pump version of this one (mine’s a Midea, but the Danby is just the same thing rebadged), and it’s been going solid for years. I do recommend the heat pump one though it’s worth the extra cash especially if you have electric baseboard heat because it’ll save a ton of electric bill cost in the winter, plus be just as effective of an air conditioner in summer. Despite looking like a single hose from the outside this is actually a dual hose unit (they’re just nested inside eachother), so it doesn’t have the drawbacks of single hose ones. Avoid single hose, they pull the room down to negative pressure so heat leaks in from elsewhere and negates the whole point. My husband had to rig up some plywood and foam adapter to make it fit our window as the included plastic one doesn’t really work everywhere.

2 hose, same as the one OP posted, where the two hoses are nested inside one big oval shaped hose. The only thing that’s different about mine is it’s a reversible heat pump, so it can heat or cool. Also it’s worthwhile to put it up on a couple milk crates or something and get an automatic condensate pump from Home Depot, then connect it to the drain port on the back. A condensate pump is basically a little bucket with a float in it so it pumps out the condensate for you into a nearby sink (or outside or whatever) whenever it gets full. Without that you’ll be constantly emptying the built in water tray bucket thing. The top end portable units have a built in pump for that but I’ve never seen them on sale anywhere.

Got the same one from costco and makes gaming in my upstairs office cool during the hottest days of summer! And no water drain!!!

Never a single hose, dual hose inverter unit if it must be portable (Inverter units can be quieter and use less energy because they don't just blow at full power unless needed) I would get a window unit if you can. make sure you get the correct size unit. My midea doesn't leak, but I don't think that's actually a wide scale issue lol.
