I selected this unit because it is designed to be fully self-evaporating up to 70% humidity, it has a continuous drain condensation pump for when humidity is above 70%, and the dual hose system draws air from non-cooled outside air instead of inside cooled air. This is more energy efficient and does not create negative pressure, drawing in cooking smells and humidity with the makeup air from under my door to a shared hallway in my condo building.  I also like that it is Energy Star compliant.

I would have preferred the Avalon 880BTU portable AC unit that has a condensate pump to a hose with spray nozzle--"Invisamist" system--for misting excess condensate through the middle of the exhaust hose. (see the video on the Avalon web site).  The Avalon unit is out of stock until mid-August 2019 and I intend to buy it as a second unit when Wayfair gets it in stock.
