While this is a decent deal in terms of the %discount, the product itself isn't good. Single vent AC units have terrible efficiency and performance. One vent units use the room air that was just conditioned/cooled and pull it through to the compression coil (to remove the heat that was just pulled from the very air that is being used to cool it! 🤔), and that is then vented out through the window. You immediately have a huge efficiency loss by wasting the cooled air, but not only that because of the negative air pressure caused by the AC unit pushing the air out of the vent you are actually drawing in new hot untreated air from all the gaps and cracks throughout the rest of your home, which then in turn will be pulled towards the vacuum created by the one vent air conditioner and we'll just continue the entire cycle of inefficiency. You can actually make the rest of your house hotter by using a single vent AC unit. A 12,000 BTU single vent air conditioner will perform worse than a 4,000 BTU dual vent air conditioner, while still using the full wattage/power to operate.

It baffles me why single vent air conditioners are still allowed to be sold in consumer markets. They are abysmal products that end up costing consumers ridiculous amounts of money long-term while only providing mediocre performance.

Most consumers simply don't know any better and manufacturers are happy to exploit their ignorance by selling a cheaper product for the highest price possible.

Can confirm. I bought a 12k btu single hose because that's what I had money for at the time. Room is about half the size of what the unit is rated for. Takes forever to cool off and doesn't do a great job of keeping it there.

The fan/blow speed is also something to consider with any ac. I have 3 portable single hose units, different brands, same 12500 btus. They all get just as cold from the vent (tested) but the one that works more efficient is a no name/random brand chinese unit that blows out air 3x stronger. I got the hisense with heat 3 years ago and needed a fan in front of it to properly circulate the cold air.

and my little bunker is pretty weather tight so this "vacuum" isn't noticeable. We are currently having a heatwave over 95 here and with wildfire smoke. You might think I'd smell smoke if that were the case.

Yes it blows, a lot. If it were over 95 all the time then I'd look elsewhere. This is just a survival tool here on lockdown in the occasional smoky heatwave in WA. Can't wait for Seahawks game in my air-conditioned private lounge.
