This seems like better deal? If you are going to spend $340, extra $60 gives you more power and dual hose design.

if I was getting this for a garage, would the hoses work if they are under the garage door or do I need to run through a wall?

Similar to this, is there a way to use these units with a window that pivots out (hinge is at top).

A dual hose design can be considerably more efficient than a single hose design. A single hose is constantly pulling outside (unconditioned) air into the room to make up for what's being blown out of the hose. A dual hose design pulls air in one hose and out the other - thereby not sucking unconditioned air into the room.

Bottom Line: If you use the unit a LOT, then you'd make back the $60 in energy savings fairly quickly with a dual hose unit.

If you are trying to air condition an non-insulated garage, let alone one where you will be having massive air infiltration from outside (such as with the garage door cracked open), then you will be doing the equivalent of the proverbial "pissing into a hurricane". It isn't going to work worth a damn.

Thanks for the info but apparently is not available in Southern California. Confirmed to see if the availability was a glitch but was able to add to cart if delivering to relatives Midwest zip code..

These really need to just be advertised as AC in an emergency. They are shit at cooling, have horrible efficiency, break frequently, and are not really repairable. I would never buy a single hose unit at all.

A while back i was debating single vs dual hose portable ac unit. What it came down to is the following, "Single hose will be better for temp ~93 or lower degree. Anything higher you will need dual hose." A single hose can perform better as in cooling down your area better than dual hose (not higher than 93degree). Saw it from YouTuber testing multiple portable AC units w/single & dual hose.

Single hose worked out great for me since it rarely passes 93degrees in my area.

That sounds like a perfectly logical and reasonable approach. With lower temperature differentials, the outside air being drawn into the room will be less critical. If the air being drawn in is very hot, that's going to be highly counterproductive - and a dual hose system will be better under those circumstances.

Single hose will never be better if it's inefficient... If you are exhausting air from inside, you will need to make up that air (or, you know, you are living in a vacuum and risk implosion). That make up air is coming from outside.

So you are exhausting cooled interior air and bringing in hot air from outside. How would that ever be better than a dual hose, which intakes/exhausts from outside only? Your cooled inside air stays inside...

Link the YouTube channel so we can go down vote please.

How well does the single hose design dehumidify? A factor that people need to take into account with temperature is humidity. Comfort levels degrade in heat as humidity rises. 50% humidity at 75 degrees will feel nice. 70% at 75 degrees will feel awful, muggy.

Dual hose will take care of that condensate automatically. Does a single hose design do this as well? Do we factor in the make up air potentially being more humid than interior air (depending on location)?
