As far as I can tell none of the ones listed in this post are dual hose.

Dual hose means it not only equalizes the air pressure in the room so that the cooler air stays put but it also exhausts the hot air out. Single hose works but it creates positive pressure in a sealed room so whatever cool air u feel will want to escape at the closest opening.

Terrible explanation but a short google search will get you a better explanation if it interests you
This. Single hose units should be banned. There is no technology leap need for a dual hose setup. It's just more plastic. Dumb consumers and greedy manufacturers.
Lack of inverter isn't nearly as important as it not being dual hose. Regardless if this is inverter or not these things cost pennies on the dollar to run compared to an hvac system so its relative to use case.

I have both window units, single hose portable, and dual hose w/inverter portable (recently Costco sale Midea). The single hose is the worst, not even worth your time, I feel it produces more heat than cool. The dual hose is way better than the single hose. But it was pretty steep in price even on sale. My window unit is the best value. Cools better and is cheaper.


If you can get a window unit, just do that. Or hold out for a dual hose. avoid single hose.

Could you adapt a single hose to a dual? Seems like adding a duct would do this?

My experience is that a quality single hose system will easily outperform a cheap dual hose.

Single hose vs dual.
There's the idea of where hot air from the ac goes vs cold air.

Single and you're pushing out hot air into the pipe out the window. Cooled air flows thru the ac and out the top vent after dumping the heat into the hot air exhaust.

Push hot air out of a home, and air from outside will flow into the house to replace that air.

Now, while the local room area is cooler, you're still sucking in air from outside to replace the hot air you've dumped.

..

Dual.
Idea is cold air circulates inside, exchanging heat with outside air before dumping the outside air back outside. These two loops don't cross the indoor / outdoor line so more cooling potential because the house isn't sucking in outdoor air to replace dumped hot air.

...

Overall, it won't matter for you in that one bedroom during a heat wave because 6000+btu of any air conditioner will make you feel chill quick enough. Not the most efficient way, but none of these portables are "efficient to begin with", so you'll have a marginally higher electrical bill vs a high efficiency inverter, wall mounted ac.

Again, 6000+ btu of anything is going to cool a bedroom just fine to survive a heatwave.

You'll lose much more cool air to simple things like not fully taping up the window pipe mount to prevent any outdoor air from leaking in past the gaps. A few pencil lead sized holes/gaps will murder any attempt at ac cooling.

Damn, is that really true? I have a makeshift room in my garage that I'm having a hard time making tolerable every summer. The garage isn't insulated/drywalled, and the makeshift room does have a few small gaps in the drywall here and there, the window AC isn't as sealed from the outside as you say it should either. It is a 5000 or 6000 BTU unit that starts to struggle when outdoor temperatures exceed 95F, becoming almost intolerable passed 102F. I've thought about buying an 8000 BTU unit, and making it a habit of cracking the garage door open during peak heat, but maybe I have to make my room more airtight?

If it's just a garage, get a bigger wall ac. Like a big old one for cheap, assuming it has the right plug.

I had a 10,000 btu portable ac single hose unit on constantly all day and night for one room. Put in a cheap window 5000 btu and it stays on low and cycles on and off, quiet and works so much better.
