Does it say “Romote” or is that just me?
Energy-Efficient Cooling: Achieve energy-efficient cooling with a high CEER (Coefficient of Energy Efficiency Ratio) of 6.5
“The higher the CEER number, the more efficient the air conditioner is. In order for an air conditioner to qualify for an Energy Star rating, it needs to have a CEER rating of 12 or higher. The most energy efficient window units on the market today have CEER ratings of 15 or more.”
Yuppers
Most portable AC units fall into the range of 6 to 10. Portable ACs have low efficiency ratings compared to other air conditioners. Window units typically have a CEER of 10 to 15.
This unit is total junk.

Nobody ever said these are great. But of you have a situation with NO central air and you CANNOT put one in a window and it miserable hot…not much else you can do.
You can try to insulate the exhaust venting, as I found a lot of heat gets back in the room radiating from the exhaust pipe.
Of course you can always built a “redneck air conditioner” [look it up].
yes, , I have 6 portable Units, single and dual hose models , and I agree with some of the points, I have the thermal hose covers by delonghi, and tried fiberglass, mylar bubble wrap, prior. The Toshiba they had recently was an awesome deal. I understand completely. This, though, is , not a very good unit , for the price…
Here is discussions recently on all that you mention… PS. I use a flir Camera to optimize and negate heat returning into the room
