Possibly available at your local Costco B&M (item 2575354) for same price $449.99, YMMV of course.

Your comment cannot be blank.

This heat pump version of this unit does have limits on heating, but works fine for most, as long as not too cold outside.

HOWEVER - it has a known flaw. When it gets cold outside, like 40 degrees or cooler, the heat will not turn on. The fix is you have to relocate the intake temp sensor,to inside your house - then it'll work fine. This is detailed on a few Reddit posts, and is an easy modification to make.

Overall, love these untis, but they will go on sale for $300 for the heat-pump ones if patient - have a few Toshiba ones (rebranded Midea's) myself and they are great!
The Danby version of this dual hose is on sale today. Item 1691101 Model DPA100B9IWDB-6. It's $299.99 now, sale ends today. Danby warranty 2 yrs vs Midea 1 yr.
I posted this deal last time and got it. I haven't used it so can't tell you how it is compared to the midea. I have the midea with heat and it's great so far.

Quote from killjoy1970 :
When they remember how to make the hoses separate, I'll consider it. Unnecessarily thermally inefficient "blended" hoses design actually prevents the common optional upgrade of easily insulating the hot exhaust pipe. (by simply sleeving 6" flexible insulted ducting over it)
So they upgraded efficiency with the inverter technology, and downgraded efficiency with the counterproductive "two pipes in one" technology.
I have an inverter type with 2 separate hoses. I do like the added quietness compared to non-inverter units. It spends a lot of time NOT running full blast, which is a real break my ears appreciate.

...BTW, I'm not recommending this pricey Hisense unit but here's at least an example of a "fully separated" dual hose inverter-equipped unit. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Hisense-...5005522217

Hmm I actually have the 8,000 btu of this and was thinking of getting the midea

Got this delivered and was able to test it out for a few days. Initial impressions is that it cools really well and super fast! Brought down my room at 83 Fahrenheit to 72 degrees in under 20 minutes. It's quieter than my Black & Decker 8000 BTU single hose unit I have previously, but it's still somewhat loud. On the loudest at max I got around 63db right up close to the AC and about 58db 4 feet away. I think the lowest advertised of 42.5db is only with the fan running on low and the AC off. Once the room cools down it does shut off the AC on its own and just circulates the air with the fan and ramps back up if the room heats up. The air ionizer seems to help? My cat used the litter box and didn't cover her poop so it stunk the room. I turned on the air ionizer and it did smell significantly less within 5 minutes. I don't know if that's just the scent having been dispersed though.

I thought ionizers were unhealthy?

There really was no easy way for me T.T I had to just tear apart the box and toss it, because it was so heavy and big. In my case, the box had no bottom though (it was just styrofoam molded to hold the AC) so maybe if you cut the tape from the bottom it could slide up and off?

Costco will take the return with or without the box. I did it last year. 100% satisfaction guarantee even if you use it for a few months.

I wonder if I could cut a hole in the bottom of my bus and just poke the top through? Wouldn't this increase the efficiency to that of a mini-split?
