I’ve purchased a couple of Midea 10k smart inverter units and have had no issues so far. Time will tell how long they last though.

Dual or concentric hose models are the best bet. Inverter is good for noise. I have a midea inverter, with concentric hose that is great

Die midea hat aber einen Inverter und der ist viel leiser als der herkömmliche Kompressor in Monoblock Geräten. Ich hätte schon beides da und während du neben der midea schlafen kannst, geht es beim Monoblock nur mit Ohropax - bei mir zumindest.

I just put the Midea back in the window over the weekend, though it's the more expensive one Costco sold in 2023 with the heater. It's a bit loud when the condenser kicks in depending on mode but did the job. Had a second Midea like the one you linked last summer and the Dry function didn't work. Called Midea and they said to take it back to Costco and get my money back, no questions asked. What's your room size? One is 12,000 and the other is only 8,000. You don't want it too big for your room.

I got this same unit for the same price, but mine has this constant rattle sound. Does anyone have any experience with this and have a way to fix it? I'd rather not return it because frankly it was a huge pain in the ass to get home.

Got the same one from costco and makes gaming in my upstairs office cool during the hottest days of summer! And no water drain!!!

Never a single hose, dual hose inverter unit if it must be portable (Inverter units can be quieter and use less energy because they don't just blow at full power unless needed) I would get a window unit if you can. make sure you get the correct size unit. My midea doesn't leak, but I don't think that's actually a wide scale issue lol.
