"The cats are finally not terrified of it ... I can set it to quiet mode where it is barely audible ... Even quiet mode picks everything up just fine."
"Noise on the 3i is next to zero."
"another plus for Alen is that they are insanely quiet. I have a 45i and 75i and they are excellent."

"I have a 1400 square foot house that has, in the past, had three portable single hose units trying to cool it down unsuccessfully. I bought a dual hose Midea unit used and have since bought two more. Now the house is cool"
"Hol dir die Midea Portasplit. Die hat eine Kühlleitung die in der Praxis das 4-Fache ist."
"seit einem Jahr beschert uns das Ding einen super Schlaf auch im Hochsommer"

"I haven't had to drain it since I got it; apparently it uses some kind of evaporation technology or yada yada."
"the Midea has a drain pump to pump the condensate out which is especially important in the heating mode, specially if it is going to go into a defrost."
"I have a hose and bucket and it’s been completely dry. Running almost every night for past 2-3months"

"The fan that circulates the air is so ridiculous it sounds like an airplane is idling inside my house, and it literally changes the air pressure in my kitchen and hurts my ears"
"The biggest issue is the noise it makes, I move a lot from side to back and vice versa during the night. The noise sounds like balloons rubbing against each other. I've tried wrapping it in a blanket, which helps a bit but still makes a lot of noice."
"Loud as hell. ... Ditto works really well, but loud as hell."

"Unfortunately did not install mine until after the Amazon return window ended and I had collapsed the box. I had emails with them back and forth about the smell, assuming that it was covered under the warranty. They were not very helpful. In fact they were very dismissive and told me to get someone to clean it (almost as expensive as the air conditioner) or clean it myself (which I believe would void the warranty) so I used the wick trick to drain water from the a/c and purchased an extended warranty. ... I don't understand why they would have created an AC that didn't drain. ... My brother has two of them, one of which is full of mold"
"it got full of mold in 6 months ... I tried to remove the casing to clean the mold but it’s just in a really inaccessible spot deep in the cold air vent."
"No mold in tricky spots (yet anyway)"

"I returned it because the hose is just so big and very awkward to get into a window."
"The only thing I will warn you about: the hose set up is problematic. ... Twisting the unit side to side more than a little bit is impossible."
"These things are so hard to install!!"
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.
r/AirConditioners • Midea portable AC at Costco $350, is it good? ->Got the same one from costco and makes gaming in my upstairs office cool during the hottest days of summer! And no water drain!!!
r/AirConditioners • Next generation Portable AC units are pretty awesome ->350? Shit this unit was like 450 at my Costco. Returned for a swamp cooler, its colorado so swamp cooler works wonders.
r/AirConditioners • Midea portable AC at Costco $350, is it good? ->I have it in my living room right now with vaulted ceilings. Keeps it 72 at 100 degrees outside so far
r/AirConditioners • Midea portable AC at Costco $350, is it good? ->Ours from ALDI is loud and weak. I set up a Midea unit for a friend and that is a beast! I was amazed.
r/CasualUK • Why didn’t anyone tell me how compact and effective these portable air conditioners are? Why was I suffering through the last heat wave 💀 ->Midea has a great unit. Bought mine last year from Costco online for delivery.
r/bayarea • PSA: Get your box fans and portable AC units right now ->Ive been using it for few days and honestly it is mindblowing... very quite
r/AirConditioners • Midea portable AC at Costco $350, is it good? ->I have this to cool my living room, dining room, and kitchen. There are no doors between these rooms so it works great. Each bedroom has the midea U (except for the 4 year old, she just gets an el cheapo unit that only runs for a couple hours at bedtime)
r/AirConditioners • Midea portable AC at Costco $350, is it good? ->I have a Midea 1.0hp that I infrequently use in my room. The lowest temp is 17 degree but hardly can make a 10x12ft room very cold. One thing you have to know is the exhaust hose will produce heat so it's better if you can make it as short as possible from the portable to the window. If you want a portable with inverter, you should check out the price because I think it's like 4-5 times more than a normal portable. I have the Midea probably more than 5 years now.
r/Bolehland • Portable Aircond recommendation ->Ich hatte mal was gefunden vor nem Jahr. Hat damals knapp 2000 € gekostet und sah scheisse aus. Deshalb wurds halt dieses Jahr die Midea. Kan ich ja nix für dass die Europäer mal wieder pennen.
r/Finanzen • Die beste Investition seit langem, ich habe mir eine mobile Klimaanlage gekauft. ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
