What makes this a special deal is these are dual hose which Costco has not offered for a while (last few years have been single hose). These are also "inverter" units and are rated at 12,000 SACC which is the highest rating for any dual hose I can find. It outperforms the Whytner 14k by a lot.
These go in and out of stock frequently, they are very popular. Stock is limited.

IF YOU BUY THIS UNIT, READ THIS:
DO NOT USE AUTO MODE! If you use "Auto" mode, the A/C will cycle between "Cool" and "Dehumidify" mode. There is no auto-evaporation in "Dehumidify" mode. You are supposed to use the top drain of the A/C to evacuate the water in a bucket. If you don't do that, the water will pool at the bottom of the A/C and eventually the pan will get full and a the A/C will stop with a "P1" error. You would then have to empty the A/C from the bottom drain. Instead, I prefer to set mine to "COOL MODE" and then set my temperature to 16 degrees (to start). I also prefer to set my "Fan" setting to the highest level, but this is not necessary.
Once you have done this, the air blowing out of the unit should be extremely cold (almost uncomfortably cold) and the unit should not cycle on and off. If it does, there is something wrong with it. This unit should easily cool any bedroom or a small apartment sufficiently. It cools my entire 600 sqft apartment to 18-20 degrees even when it is 35 degrees outside. So if you are having performance issues, please ensure you followed the above directions before sending the unit back.
