4-in-1 PortaSplit 3.5 kW Portable Air Conditioner and Dehumidifier
Quiet, efficient split; but mold issues and bulky.
Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
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.
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.
The Midea can pull 1200W easily when it's cooling the flat down on boost mode. Normally it's running around 300-500W when keeping the temperature stable. 24° 65m2.
Ours from ALDI is loud and weak. I set up a Midea unit for a friend and that is a beast! I was amazed.
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.
