If you can deal with those first-world problems, highly recommended!
The downsides of the heat function are:
It only works if the temp outside is above 42 degrees. So depending on your climate this may only be useful for chilly spring and autumn days.
It generates a lot of condensate so you have to hook a hose up to the highest drain and empty the bucket every now and then.
When it's cold out, and the unit is not in use but still hooked up to the window, a lot of cold air is going to come in through the duct hose. This can also cause a lot of condensation to build up underneath the unit where the cold air pours out onto the floor. You really have to pull it out of the window and shut the window when it's not in use if it's cold outside.
Make sure you wrap the duct hose with the included sleeve if using heat mode, to prevent condensate from building on the duct hose.
Overall I would say it's good for chilly spring / autumn days where you need a little extra warmth but don't want to turn on the furnace, but not so useful for very cold days like in the dead of winter.

The Hisense one has a heatpump too but it doesn't mention inverter... Would this unit be worth the upgrade? I haven't opened the other one yet.

Single hose might be the dumbest invention of the 20th century.

Remote is also kind of finnicky and takes some getting used to.
I have a sliding window, and there is another frame infront of the window frame that sticks out. The kit doesn't account for this, and I cannot attach the hose properly, and the kit needs to slide down to acount from the obstruction, which would mean I need to fill that gap since it's slid down.
Anybody have a solution to this? Do I go to Home Depot to get another section cut to cover that? What the best way to seal it?

Might be best to purchase the two for the discount and return the one you previously bought. Are you thinking then of returning one of the discounted and still getting the discounted rate on the one you keep? That is a great hack if it works.
Let me know if that hack works.
