why on earth would you call the previous owner a scumbag? He or she returned it. The company claiming to have *refurbished* them before selling it to you is the scumbag, not the first owner...

I own this. We used it on our second story for supplemental cooling, and then used it as the primary unit while our hvac system was being upgraded. It's quiet and the air comes out ice cold. It's now sitting in a closet as a backup in case it's needed. If you need a portable unit, buy this.

I purchased this unit from Costco.

https://www.costco.com/hisense-sm...ue&nf=true

So far, it's working great! And with Costco's return policy, you can't go wrong. It might be worth getting a membership to get this unit brand new.

Only putting this here because the OP said suggestions welcome.

IIRC, this is a rebranded Midea. Can anyone confirm?

I second this. Got one of these last month when they were on sale for $320. So far with this heat it's been doing way better then my single hose 8k and 10k btu AC's.

The only complaint I have with it is the app. It's just not designed well and can be buggy at times but it's not the end of the world cause it comes with a remote.

Can thus be used in an outdoor gazebo with curtains surrounding it. Not looking for an ice cold gazebo, just something to deliver temperature delta in phoenix summers

I bought two of these last year refurbished for $300 from woot and fell in love with the design. Some folks here had reported that despite being refurbished, they looked and felt pretty much new.

Unfortunately I did not have the same luck. The units I received were clearly used by some scumbag and returned.

These have a dehumidifier function and while I can't prove this, when I turned both my units on they smelled like dirty water. The best way I could describe it was like someone used them in a moldy flooded basement or something and returned them.

I could tell though that the fan/blowers in these were really powerful and the rotating vents really work awesome to circulate the air.

Just be aware that because these are refurbished, you could receive something like what I got, moldy smell or use in a disgusting smokers house.

I ended up getting the midea ones brand new from costco this year and couldn't be happier. These are really the best design, I even tried the Dandy version and the vent system on that one is not as good as the midea.

Good luck guys!

Curious about this, too…uninsulated screened-in porch, with dogs who'd love to spend their lives there - but only with me present - so similar use case

How is the heating for these? Seems like people mainly use these for cooling, but I rarely hear anything about heating. I'm hearing with heating for these portable AC sucks because it's more of a hindrance because you have to drain water every other day which can be too much work for it to be worth it?

Looks like it's covered by a 90 day warranty, but are these refurbished units also covered by manufacturers warranty and if so for how long? A little hesitant to buy a refurb unit or any electronics for that matter if it's not covered.

The model name is: rac-pt1412hvwru

Recommend googling "rac-pt1412hvwru" (with quotes) for exact matches when researching

Note that this draws 1300 watts. Woot/Amazon often seem to skip that crucial information. Your average US room circuit usually caps out at ~1800-2400 watts. Keep that in mind if you're running other appliances nearby. It will definitely be noticeable on your energy bill.

Dual-hose portable AC units are convenient—and far better than single-hose—but they use a lot of juice nonetheless. If you are concerned about your electrical bill, I recommend getting a window AC unit. They are much more efficient and brand new units are quite cheap in comparison to portable ACs.

If your window isn't compatible with a window unit, you can always modify a couple cheap wood panels to hold your window AC unit in place. It might not be the most elegant solution but it's cheap and efficient

I own the midea unit. The heat works great, but…you must have a hose hooked up to it to drain the water. Without a hose, mine would fill its pan in 1-2 hours. (And I live in California - not super humid here.)
The midea unit has a condensate pump, which in theory can pump up as much as 6 ft, so you could go up, over the window sill and outside.
But my unit's condensate pump seemed to be defective, and caused a big leak on my carpet. :/
