Anyone know what's the best dual hose out there (price-wise).
I'm not sure if it's the best, but I just bought a Midea air conditioner from Costco. It's very similar to a model on Amazon priced at $650, but Costco's price was only $450. I hope I made the right choice. The dual hose design is impressive, with both hoses combined into one unit.

The costco one will probably go on sale at some point this summer, and you can price match it then.
You did get the best one, just not at the best price. Still worth it. The Toshiba the other guy mentioned was a used / refurb unit I believe. Those were hit or miss, I returned 2 of them.

Newbie here what are the benefits or negatives between one and two hoses?
Everyone rages about two hose but I found the hot air out is right beside the air in and it just circulates the hot hair back in. The thing to do w a single is get an insulated hose or but a insulated hose cover.
Was just going to mention to those looking for a standup/portable AC, always make sure it's a 2 hose.
2 hose brings in outside air to cool the condenser, and exhaust that same outside air.
Vs 1 hose units use the air inside from the already cooled space, then exhausts it. Less efficient, and it creates a negative pressure in the room/house you are cooling, requiring you to crack a window.
TLDR; only buy a 2 hose standup unit. Window units are still superior if you can make that happen in your space.
