The first rule of portable air conditioners is get a 2 hose model (or the Midea with the giant oval hose that is really 2 hoses.
1 hose hose models are an america only thing. They blow out the very air you are trying to cool. The only reason they exist is 'stupid people are confused by 2 hoses'.
2 hoses balance the pressure and use outside air to cool the condenser. They are the correct choice.
10000% go with the midea, I swear by it and have two of them. You save noticeable amount of energy with the inverter, pays for itself quickly compared to the $200 ones.
I got a dual hose Midea portable AC from Canadian tire two years ago. It’s a damn beast and cools my entire living room / kitchen. They are pricey, I got mine on sale but that’s my recommendation.
So i also really like minehowever I noticed they don’t do much in terms of lowering humidity, and from what I understand they’re properly sized for my space
Second, we have one and it cooled a room in our old how that we couldn't previously get cold, I liked it so much I shipped it across the country when we moved.
My only annoyance is the hose in hose is stiffer and harder to wrangle then two single hoses, and i can't find a replacement window kit.
