We have to buy a window unit for our house. We have Central AC but it’s not keeping up and we can’t afford to upsize it right now. So until then I’m researching which window units to buy. Any advice or anything to cut through all the marketing spam and AI copy that I have to wade thru?
While the dual hose ones are better, I agree that these all kind of suck because you have the compressor inside and it’s always the loudest part of an AC.
The single-hosed ones literally suck…
…air out of the room. This inevitably leads to ingress of warm air from the outside through various crevices. But you know that already from this comment section.
They still work better than no AC. Your costs just go up more than with a dual hose.

I’m not saying they don’t work. Even thermoelectric ones do, it’s just that they are worse.
