This Danby is 12k/10k BTU, whereas this year's Midea Duo/Danby/Toshibas are 14k/12k. Still an excellent deal, but the 14k BTU Mideo Duo was $400 at Costco a couple of times this year, which was a phenomenal deal due to the forever return policy and easy local returns.
A lot of times these ACs are damaged in transit, so it is always nice to buy from a seller than offers easy returns.
I have two portable AC units.
14k (12k SACC) Midea Duo I got from Costco 2 months ago..... LOVE IT
12k LG single-hose unit... 7K SACC. It SUCKS. Like massive negative pressure to room, noisy, etc etc.
Get a dual-hose whenever possible... and inverter. Dual hose is 40% more efficient. Inverter allows compressor to run at slower speeds....which is quieter and possibly more confortable.

If you need air purification, run an air purifier at max.
If you want a cool room, you have to get a dual hose unit, especially if you're in a smaller type home/area.
Dual hose units pull air in from the outside and then exhaust it back to the outside. There is no air from the outside that ends up inside.
This is NOT true for single hose units. In the single hose unit it pulls air from the room it is in and exhausts it outside. This causes a low pressure area IN your room and thus pulls WARM/HOT air into the room you are in. Eventually this causes air from the OUTSIDE (hot) to be pulled into your home. Simply put, single hose units may blow cold air on you, but they do NOT work very well to cool off the entire room. Anyone suggesting otherwise simply doesn't know what they are talking about..

I've had a single-hose before and it was less than useless for my situation, so I'm pretty much dead set against getting another.
Installation is pretty basic but doesn't vary much. In my case I have vertical opening, not a lot of options. Not difficult but after I did it I realized hot air exhaust was below intake so maybe that matters. I just left it for now, hot spells are nearly over and I can hide this away under the stairs. Yes, I've read all the arguments and just did what works for my situation YMMV.
Edit: Aw, poop, useless for me, didn't notice they aren't shipping these. 400 miles round trip kills it LOL.
Although no way to get this deal.

There's no justification for running a stupid single hose. What are you even doing, (badly) air conditioning a room with contaminants that you'd rather not spread through the house? The moment you turn off your AC, your room is no longer negatively pressurized and pollutants will spread to other rooms.
If you run a dual hose, at least you air conditioned a room well and at worst equalized pressure as if you had done nothing, though you should minimize loss of cool air as well because air conditioning is high in power usage.
But like... why would you want to do that? You save a few bucks now, but you're stuck with something like half the cooling capability at the same loudness and power usage, and it will eventually catch up in cost anyway.
This dual hose is a pretty great deal at $300 if you needed a room AC.

Needless to say that portable AC units are not very effective in general. Thus, it's no use to compare them.
I own two of these exact same Danby units bought from Costco last year when they were sold for $399. There are definitely some reviews of people having issues with these units but they've worked great for me and I'm more than satisfied with their performance. Buying from Costco alleviated any fears of getting a dud. I like these units so much that I would've bought another for $300 in this deal if it were available for shipping. Since I missed it, I'm hoping the newer 14K BTU Danby unit at Costco goes on sale sometime.
