Here's my perspective on single vs double hose models. The double hose models are more energy efficient. However, the double hose models don't remove humidity as well as single hose models. I have tested this extensively with my whynter (so?) double hose and my lg single hose. If your primary cooling will come from this ac, get the double hose. If you just want to supplement a room with additional cooling and care a lot about humidity, get a single.
I think one of the reasons why a double hose is not that great at humidity is because it's bringing more inside the house with the extra intake hose. Not a bad design, but these portables are NOT made to reduce humidity because they don't have the capacity to store it, so manufacturers actually don't want to remove humidity with portables. A window unit does much more in terms of humidity than a portable for that reason. Also, some portables also exhaust some humidity with heat, so that just increases your electric bill. Overall, portables are not that great because they have so many limitations compared to window and split units.
