✅ Pros

• Dual‑hose efficiency
  Draws fresh outdoor air to cool the compressor and exhausts heat externally—reducing negative pressure and boosting efficiency compared to single-hose units.
• Strong cooling & quick dehumidification
  Delivers 12,000 BTU (ASHRAE) and around 7,000 BTU DOE, with the ability to remove up to 96 pints/day, keeping rooms noticeably comfortable even in humid conditions.
• Auto-drain condensate system
  Patented technology automatically removes moisture in most environments, with a gravity drain backup and upper/lower ports for continuous use.
• Quiet operation
  Rated <52 dB on low and <56 dB on high—one of the quieter dual-hose portables. Verified quiet even during sensitive tasks like sleeping or computer use

⚠️ Cons

• Bulkier than singles
  Dual hoses and a larger size (about 62 lb) make it less portable and may require two people to move comfortably
• Window kit quirks
  Some report minor issues with hose installation and window seal fitment.
• Moderate noise on high fan
  While quiet on low, noise up to ~56 dB on high may still be noticeable during quiet activities.
• Power consumption is high
  Draws around 1,040 W (10.5 A), so expect noticeable electricity usage—though it offers strong performance
