Just to expand on this...

AC works by using a powered heat exchanger that cools indoor air at the expense of heating outdoor air. It's really inefficient to do by any method, but it's all we have.

With both types indoor air is recirculated and cooled on the cold side of the heat exchanger from your room back into your room, while air is drawn onto the hot side of the heat exchanger making heating the air and then it sends this hot air outdoors. Heating the outdoors to cool your indoors.

Where things differ with hoses is the source of the cool air...

With a single hose the hose is used only to send hot air outdoors. This means the unit pulls cold air from in your room to cool the heat exchanger. This air is pulled from the cool indoor air you have used electricity & paid to cool which is vented outside. That cool air sucked out of the room is replenished with uncooled air from the surroundings of the room - either from outdoors or warmer parts of the house, whichever leaks more. This means a portion of your cooled air is perpetually being "wasted" and sucked out of the room.

Dual hose systems use one hose as an inlet to pull outdoor air into the hot side of the AC to cool the heat exchanger. Cooled indoor air is recirculated across the cool side of the heat exchanger, cooling it further. The outdoor air that is drawn across the hot side is sent back outdoors by the second hose of the system, extra hot.

Dual hose systems are about 30% more efficient than single hose. Which means an 8k BTU dual hose is more effecient than a 10k single hose.

Frankly, though, all portables are trash compared to even a window unit. My experience is single hose portable ACs provide less than half the cooling of a window unit of the same BTU.

Only when it's absolutely impossible to install a window AC should a portable be considered.

I'm not really sure why I spent so much time to write all of this out now that I'm finished ... besides inertia of needing to finish.
I had 2 of these units in AZ. if you try to turn these things on in the blistering heat the compressor doesnt seem to turn on and you get no AC. I ended up returning both. They work fine if you have them in an area that is already cool.
get plexiglass size of your window, make cutouts in the plexiglass

Got one at my local Costco. Awesome deal. These will be all gone once heat waves hit SoCal in the next months.

This seems to be a great price for a dual hose ac unit.

Got one in store, so far it's been good. It's not very powerful though, even in a small room, but it's good enough.

Remote is finicky and sometimes misses the signal, but it works.

It's not that good compared to LG's single hose portable ac, which went on a Slickdeals sale for $325ish. I returned this Hisense.

^ Considering the current price of both portable ACs, I guess the Hisense is good enough. But if you can get the LG one for sale again, it'll definitely cool a lot better, at least from my experience.

I had dual hose before it is loud and my electric bill was so high , have central AC but not enough for second floor i had to upgrade and that was the best thing i have ever done . So my advice if you are using it on the basement or you dont have other option go for it otherwise kip .

I've got this in my grow room and it cools a 12x13 with no issues. The app works great. It no louder than a box fan. It's on the second floor and my only negative is that I can hear the humming in the room under it. I'm no pro but it's my understanding that a two hose unit will almost always be more efficient than a single hose.
