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 anything it cools the area directly infront of the single hose unit, and then as the cool air settles to the floor, it super heats it and pumps it right out the window. I don't know why they are even made and sold.

Everybody in the single hose side is preaching this video https://youtu.be/qV_cGSlxzPk?t=8
But then again, take this with a grain of salt and just compare the EER, CEER, and SEER ratings just as much as you compare the SACC ratings. Oh and if you can, just use a window unit because it'll be more efficient. Another trend you'll see is that inverter portable ACs are typically made with dual hose because efficient minded consumers would typically want a more efficient dual hose design. Like all efficiency vs initial upfront cost, this applies with portable ACs. And whenever applicable, still buy that window AC because it is cheaper both initially and in the long run only because you block your view of your window (lol).
Portable units generate heat inside the room and are inherently less efficient, they also take up room space instead of being suspended in the window, they may need to be occasionally drained (and care taken where they are positioned in case they just leak). But they're dead easy to set up and remove and work in almost any situation on any window.
Single hose units, just no. You will hate the noise and electricity for less cooling power.

NEVER buy a single hose unit. Maybe then they will stop making them. The silly thing is, you literally need just another hose. There is no technical difference.
Then again, you would need a better compressor for a dual hose unit as a single hose unit cheats by using pre-cooled air, that it made, to cool down it's own condensation coils, and then blows that air out the window, that in turn, sucks hot air in from the out side.
I'm surprised California hasn't banned single hose portable units. Though that would probably be considered anti-diversity...
