These have been absolutely fantastic to hold me over until Inflation Reduction Act rebates go live in my state (CA). Since I need 2 units replaced, that's potentially $16k that the government will cover for me. I'm happy to keep buying portable AC's and waiting for that chunk of change, lol.
I got this from Woot too when it wasn't "scratch and dent" but had to return the first unit due to it making this annoying high pitched whirring noise in the compressor. The second one was better and I didn't want to bother returning again. The first unit had deep gouges in the top panel, and the second one had mold on the hoses so they are definitely very used.
Performance wise it does cool quite well. It's quieter overall than a non-inverter model, but the noise profile ca be slightly more annoying in low fan mode due to that whirring noise. The hose design is bulky but is a but more durable than another dual hose I had, which had the tabs break off the hose connectors to the window panel.
You can hear the the sound it makes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnsVDys

what ends up being common, is that they work for a year, then you go to use it the next year and compressor won't kick on anymore or drawing undercurrent. fan will work though
Edit: I'm curious if it has a soft-start feature. Otherwise, you may need an inverter than can handle 2x the surge.
I have two of the Midea version of these from Costco and one of the Toshiba version from Woot. The vent on the Woot one was slightly busted but repairable, otherwise clean. This is a great deal if you get a good one but there's some risk.
It's a great unit if you can get a good copy.
