The Midea Duo was by far the best deal on a new portable air conditioner I have come across in a while. Last year Costco had a 10k SACC Danby on sale for $400, but the Mideo Duo is better than that, so $400 was a steal for it given inflation and better specs.
If you will never use the heat option, then the Danby is almost identical to the Midea Duo for $50 more. Still a great deal, but not as good as the $400 Midea Duo.

Exhaust hose in intake hose (this) improves upon that because the heat radiating from the exhaust isn't directly radiating back into the room. The outer hose provides some insulation value there. While yes, it does heat up the intake air slightly, it's better than just radiating back into the room.
Also the exhaust does not get sucked right back in. They have a ring you put so the exhaust goes out further, and the exhaust is towards one side of the larger hose.
This is why when you see Whynter portable ACs with separate dual hoses, they have a ASHARE BTU rating of 14,000 but the DOE SACC BTU rating is only about 9,000.
The SACC BTU rating takes into account the performance differences of the hose and the heat radiating back into the room (among everything else).
