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.

(Amazon and home depot sell this for 700 bucks when I checked it 5 days ago)
A window ac, however small, should perform better. In cases where seasonal usage is required, you can move a small window ac in and out a couple of times a year. I know my advice will fall on deaf ears, but like magsafe battery banks, this is a nice idea but it's not the norm because it's just not as good

Not worth at all.

Does that sound right?
Also any idea on the hose length and just how sturdy it is? I have an older LG single hose and the hose will crack with almost any bending, so it needs to be held in one single spot.
Last question -- my LG hose needed to be wrapped with lots of insulation around the hose (the metallic wrap and tape) to prevent the exhaust heat from warming the room, would that be of any benefit to this type of model, or just run it as-is?
Does that sound right?
I leave it at 81F 24/7 but the 1st floor is around 2k sq ft!!!
Not worth at all.
Most normal dual hose (no hose in hose but sep) are 5-6ft long. The hisense I got a few days ago is right about 6ft which BARELY works to go around a small bookshelf under the window. Decided to stick with the hisense for that exact reason.
Tldr : hose is shorter than most separate dual hose units

youtube got some install vids for rooms/garages without windows.
last year this was 400 bucks at costco?!
for 18 you can just cut off the divider, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCq3qSo
They can just push the divider in, pull the window down and the bar will fall off
For me I called the local stores and none of them have it, they said it's online only.
Yeah how much did you guys' bill go up after getting this?
