If you get the former, with the single hose, they have a really stupid design choice where they drop the second hose it needs to work properly, which makes them massively less effective. However you can easily duct tape a second hose over the heater-intake to make it work properly.

Ahh, having just one hose for marketability is so stupid! Thanks, the pictures helped me understand at a glance how, with just one hose, air pressure inevitably must lead to warm air rushing in from somewhere if the machine is supposed to work at all, even if you close the doors and windows. It's clever to fix this terrible design flaw.
