The dual hose portable air conditioners are simply a revolutionary design! During the air conditioning process moisture is condensed and collects in an internal bucket. A dramatic leap forward, this design utilizes the water by showering it over the evaporator coils. The benefits of this “shower” are twofold: 1) the water does an excellent job of cooling the system thus improving efficiencies and consuming less energy. 2) Showering the evaporator coils accelerates the evaporation process allowing more of the condensed moisture to be expelled outside which in turn almost eliminates the need to empty the bucket. This model also has the added benefit of operating as strictly a dehumidifier during the wet spring and fall seasons or solely as a fan

Comments about Danby 12,000 btu 3-in-1 Portable Home Comfort System - DPAC120061:

After a lot of study, I chose a two-hose unit. The intake hose brings outside air to the condenser where it cools the unit including evaporating condensed water from the coil, and exhausts it out the exhaust hose. The air flow is significant and a single hose air conditioner blowing that much air out of the cooled area would bring in a lot of hot air from elsewhere. Two hose is the only way to go. Features like oscillating louvers and fan only are nice, but hey, if it does not cool, it is not air conditioner. This one cools and gets rid of the condensate. I now own two to cool a large area.

The first unit did not cool and I used the in-home warranty service. Turned out one wire was not connected at the factory. Call was easy and technician was good.
