Hmm, what other options do you have?

I don't think there are many alternatives for the dual hose door adapter and it's clearly a niche cheap product so... isn't it? Note that I am using Whynter ARC-14s Dial hose. Pros: - looks OEM indeed - "does the job" - easy to install Cons: major flaw: it only needs to be about 1 inch wider on each side. Here's why: Every sliding door and window has a pocket that seals when the door is closed. Because the distance between the hose and the metal edge is too small, it does not "settleโ€ in the guide in any way, the hose hits the door post. It would be almost perfect if they just added that 2 inches of extra plastic. - Protective insulation is thin and cheap - Hose connectors are weak (screwed in in winter) and hoses are not lightweight. They can be easily pulled out of the plate. Hose fitting diameters are approximately 1/8" thinner than OEM fittings, making hose insertion a brute force.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Low maintainability
