This operates around 300 watts most of the time. Very efficient.
I wanted to buy a second one but not for $350. It was $299 not even a year ago.
THAT BEING SAID, this is one of the best most efficient portable AC designs you can buy as it has the newer inverter compressor along with the dual hose form that keeps the tube a more normal ambient temp vs super hot and reheating the room you are trying to cool. Its very clearly a rebrand of the midea DUO which is the cream of the crop on terms of portable AC units. I'm buying a 2nd one right now because I gave my first one away.
I was scared so I asked the monster, "What do you want?"
The monster looked down at me and said," I need about tree fiddy."
I responded, "I ain't givin' you no tree-fitty for a refurbished air conditioner, you goddamn Loch Ness Monster! Get your own goddamn money!"

Portable AC Pros:
- Inverter driven variable speed compressor can ramp down to around 290 W for better efficiency.
- Dual hose-in-hose so doesn't create negative pressure like single hose units which sucks in outside hot air.
- Can be installed in horizontally sliding windows with included adapter, or if HOA doesn't allow window ACs.
- Has heat pump mode but it only operates down to 41F.
Cons:
- While it's fairly quiet when operating at low speed, it's quite loud on high.
- Air sealing the window panel is difficult so heat, humidity and noise will leak in.
- Condensation is supposed to be evaporated out the exhaust, but in high humidity it can still build up and cause the unit to stop. The drain is only around 1" from the floor, so I put it on a pedestal and hooked up a condensate pump.
- Uses up to 1450 W and it even makes my LED lights on the same circuit flicker.
U-Shaped Window AC Pros:
- Very quiet and energy efficient. Also inverter driven so the 8,000 BTU model can ramp down to just 100 W.
- ~3" window opening is much better sealed and the compressor is outside, so much better for heat, humidity and noise. Condensation is also routed to the outside.
Cons:
- Trickier installation with the bracket.
- No heat pump mode.
So if you are able to use a window AC, I would recommend it over these portable units.
The ac works great, the heater wasn't as effective though on this Toshiba.
If the returned unit has a different serial number on it and it is flagged by toshiba as refurbished then you could really be screwing the next person who buys it thinking it is new.
