Portable Air Conditioner

1

I spent around 2 months searching for a portable air conditioner when I finally came across this unit. It's fantastic, we used this product in our south-west facing apartment during several heatwaves. Other tenants in the building were doing whatever they could to stay cool, while my spouse and I had to hide under blankets because of how cold this air conditioner kept us. It's expensive, but it was absolutely worth it.

I wasn't sure about the Duo system but i couldn't be more pleased. It cools my 900 sq feet with ease and is very quiet. Well done Midea

I find this unit much quieter than any other I have had. I have hinged opener windows so there was a slightly complicated install. Since my situation is the same for all portable units, I just modified my existing installation to accommodate the dual hose.

Very comfortable and does not have any annoying sound. I have 3 of the same kind around the house. I advise you, it is more than wonderful

The duo hose is a great idea and the unit did cool well on the settings that worked. My unit malfunctioned out of the box. Midea offered me a refund/exchange. The process was a bit tedious but not problematic to get service. I opted not to exchange largely due to the size and weight of the unit. I had to raise it up to reach a window in one room and it was far to heavy. Or course with the higher BTU it makes sense its heavy. Also the duo large hose clips are very far apart and it's impossible to reach all 4 clips at the same time. This made it an ordeal to insert and remove the hose. In short, for me, it was not at all portable. However, for others it may work very well, and I am not opposed to buying another smaller Midea product.

Compressor "chirps" or "squeaks" at a very high pitch and it's intolerable. AR least one other review shares the same issue so it's not just mine. Shame because I like everything else about it, but the compressor noise is enough to drive me mad.

I do not recommend Midea portable AC. I purchased a new unit in June (Midea Portable Inverter Air Conditioner - 14,000-BTU ) and in July when the compressor started cycling off every 2 minutes during a heat wave I exchanged it for a new unit. The new unit has started cycling off now as well. I have been waiting since July 29th for a customer service technician to contact me. This is a useless and expensive product and useless customer service. Buyers beware of Midea!

I was thinking about purchasing this unit but after reading all the negative reviews I've decided to pass. Their specs meet my requirement but customer service is also high on my list. Maybe in a few years once Midea cleans up its act (customer support) I'll review the Midea product.

I bought this because of the wirecutter reviews and even picked it up so it would not be bashed around with shipping. I even waited 24 hours to make sure oil had settled in the compressor so that nothing would hinder it when starting up .It can't even cool a 200 square foot room which is a joke. It was close to 1K to buy. I will never buy Midea again. Feel scammed. Hopefully I can return it. Not sure why companies like this are allowed to sell garbage that clearly does not work.
