Own both the Whynter ARC-14s in storage now as backups, as well as the 14k BTU Midea units, which have replaced the Whynters at our house.
It's hard to describe how much better the Midea units are - soft ramp up for the compressor, and running at fractional compressor capabilities to maintain room temperature - the inverter compressor control is fantastic. Additionally, the Mideas are wireless enabled - you can set schedules with the app, and control them remotely. The Wynters are just hard ON at 100% capacity or OFF - there is no middle ground with them, but they are fine units - just older, less efficient technology.

The issue with single hose units is that when it's 100 degrees outside, that unit will create a vacuum and suck the 100 degree air INTO the house through all the penetrations in the buildings: vents, ducts, doggy doors, electrical outlet, can lights, window gaps, etc.
I like your idea even better! That way when I keep the intake hose inside the house it would help to draw in more cooler outside air via the windows (as long as humidity was not a problem) and cool the entire house, while at the same time getting my bedroom cold where the A/C is. Particularly if the bedroom is on the hot second floor and you open a window on the cooler first floor. Just as long as I can extend the intake hose outside of the room that I am trying to cool so I am not venting out my just-cooled air.

House warms up to 75 during daytime heating. Outside temp goes down to 70 overnight. I need it to be lower-mid 60's to sleep. Outside temperature is cooler than than inside the house, but does not equate to the temperature I need the bedroom to be. Hence I run the A/C.
A couple of nights ago it got down to 60 at night (actually around 6am) but I still ran the A/C due to the humidity getting up over 90%, cant sleep in that either.

Cooler does not mean a temperature that is sleepable. When I say cooler I was referring to the outside temp being cooler than inside the house - but it is still not cool enough for me to sleep so I need to run the A/C.
Tempted between this and the Toshiba medea refurb.
I don't mind the heat, but when I don't turn on the AC the family starts moaning. I figure get this, put them (family and this unit) in one of the rooms without the vaulted ceiling, and hopefully electric bill plumits?

Alas, not but a fortnite ago, I hath awoken in a state of suspended animation, until, by god's grace, the warmth of the earthly sun did restore me to full blooded warmth!
