This is a compact 10,000 BTU portable air conditioner with a remote, best suited for a bedroom, garage, porch, or other single room where floor space is tight. It can cool a room enough to be livable, and the smaller footprint is a real plus compared with bulkier dual hose units. The main tradeoffs are the single hose design, which is less efficient and can pull in warm air, plus frequent condensate draining and noticeable noise. Fit and reliability concerns also came up, including awkward window installation and reports of units failing after months.
The unit can shut off when the humidity tank is full, so draining the condensate helps keep cooling running.
The remote control adds convenience by letting you adjust temperature without repeatedly getting up.
The single-hose design can still cool a single room effectively when positioned near a window.
The smaller footprint can help when floor space is limited, such as in a camper setup.
The unit can require frequent condensate draining, and some setups may need a pedestal for clearance.
The single-hose portable design can create negative pressure that draws warm air into the house through gaps.
The exhaust hose placement can limit flexibility, so furniture like a bed may prevent proper positioning under the window.
The unit may develop musty or mildew odor during operation even after cleaning residue from the output nozzles.

The single hose units waste energy by blowing out your room's air through the tube. My unit was very loud. They also need to be drained of condensate water often. They are cheap, though.
The dual hose units not only have an isolated outside air loop that prevents sucking the air out of the room, they also use the hot air exhaust to evaporate the condensate water so it almost never needs to be drained. They are also relatively quiet compared to single hose units. They're also more expensive.

So...can someone recommend an alternative to this that would work better? I live in a loft that is in an old renovated mill building. 14ft ceiling and brick walls. My unit is on the end and my bedroom is difficult to get under 78 degrees on hot days. My budget is around $400.
FWIW, I'm betting there is also a huge quality difference between that single vs dual hose of yours. Could it be the fact the dual hose is a far better brand (and likely an inverter) vs a non-name single hose? And I'm being it cost double....right? So x2 money buys a better product? Crazy concept....
Like comparing a Ford Fiesta stick shift vs a BMW automatic...maybe the transmission isn't really what divides the two products
