Best deal atm seems to be this refurb Hisense on eBay for $199.99...
https://slickdeals.net/f/19752249-refurbished-with-2-yr-warranty-hisense-dual-hose-8-000-btu-doe-smart-portable-air-conditioner-w-inverter-199-99-fs-ebay?v=1
Interesting to see how much more efficient a dual hose unit is when comparing these 2...
This single hose "12,000 BTU" unit only effectively cools at 7000 BTU (see the "DOE" BTU rating in specs)
Hisense dual hose "10,000 BTU" unit cools effectively at 8000 BTU DOE.
Essentially this single hose has 12k BTU of "raw" cooling capacity, but also heats the room by 5000 BTU, while the Hisense has 10k BTU of "raw" cooling capacity but heats the room by 2000 BTU.
Portable ACs by their nature will spill some heat into the room, but the single hose is much worse since it exhausts interior air, causing hot, humid, outdoor air to be drawn back inside to replace it. (anything that exhausts air causes an equal amount of air to be drawn back in, from somewhere.)

Seems to be a single hose unit
Community Reviews
This portable AC is best as a temporary or backup cooling option for rooms where a window unit is not possible, especially in apartments or HOA settings. It has cooled master and medium bedrooms, a small apartment, and a 250 square foot room, with long term use showing easy cleaning and no routine draining thanks to the auto clean and evaporation through the exhaust. The main drawback is the single hose design, which is widely described as less efficient than dual hose units and slower to cool. Setup also matters, since sealing the exhaust hose can be the hardest part.
Common Questions (5)
Single-hose portable ACs are less efficient because they exhaust indoor air and can pull hot, humid air back in, while dual-hose units cool more efficiently and may save on electricity. This unit can still be useful for temporary cooling, emergency backup, or when a window unit is not possible.
It often does not need draining because the unit auto-cleans and dries itself out, and some owners report never draining it over years of use. In very humid conditions, drainage may still be needed.
It can cool a medium bedroom or small apartment well, with one owner saying it cooled a master bedroom and another saying it worked great in a small apartment. It may take around 30 minutes to bring a room down to temperature.
Yes, it is a practical option when window units are not allowed or not possible, and it is not noticeable from the street. It is also useful as a temporary or backup cooling solution.
Proper exhaust hose setup matters a lot for performance, and sealing the hose can be the hardest part of installation. Some owners tape the air tube to improve the seal each spring.

- Portable AC: Take this personal air conditioner (16.5" x 14.06" x 27.09) in rooms up to 550 sq. ft. Stay cool in the hot summer months and sleep well with this BLACK+DECKER ac unit for bedroom.
- 3-in-1: Our 7000 BTU DOE (12000 BTU ASHRAE 128) air conditioner also functions as a dehumidifier & fan. This portable air conditioner (56.8 lbs.) has a convenient remote control & top mounted control panel with LED display.
- Impressive Features: Set the temperature just right with this ac portable air conditioner. Our ac unit portable also has a slide-out washable filter, auto water evaporation, & 24-hour timer.
- Easy Mobility: Thanks to casters on the bottom and side handles on both sides of the small air conditioner, this air cooler can be moved from room to room without any hassle.
- Installation Kit: When it comes to fans that blow cold air, this indoor ac unit includes an easy-to-install window kit. A large vented airflow outlet ushers in cool air.

Inverter models use a variable-speed compressor that slows down or speeds up to maintain a constant temperature, whereas non-inverter (fixed-speed) units constantly cycle entirely on and off, which uses more energy.
I bought this Hisense unit last month. It worked pretty well in my 250 sqft room. The only complain is lacking mobile app, unlike Midea brand.
But, if you order the reviews by Most Recent, it's quite scary.
