First, it doesn't cool as well as a window unit.
Second, I don't think it would work well as the single means of cooling a room, particularly in hot weather (see above).
Third, with one hose blowing the exhaust (hot air) outside, that air has to be made up from leaks throughout the home. It is essentially pumping air out of your house creating a negative pressure like a drier does. So it uses the already conditioned air in the house to cool the coil and then blow it outside, causing hot and humid air to be pulled inside somewhere else.
We like ours because we can run it at night and usually set it about a degree or two below the main thermostat set point to keep our bedroom cooler.
In humid climates the water pan will fill up after a few nights of running and will shut the unit off (float switch). I usually roll it to the walk-in shower and drain it there.
