If you can grab a dehumidifier, you can [grab an AC](https://tradedepot.co.nz/midea-portable-air-conditioner-2-6kw) while you're at it. Running one of each gives best results for air comfort, although I recommend elevating the portable AC on a chair or table and running its drain hose into a bucket so that it doesn't continually shut off due to its condensation tank being full. Note that the portable AC needs to be beside an open window that its hot air exhaust hose can go out of.
Bad news for me is my Midea U-shaped in-window AC is on the recall list. I bought it a year ago at Costco on sale for around $300. I assume even if I might get a full refund, I probably won’t be able to get a new one with the same 12k BTU for $300, which makes me so angry. Anyway, we just bought the exact same portable model as you, but for $499 at Costco in the Seattle area. You got such a good deal. Anyway, I love this AC unit, it’s amazing! It’s currently 73 degrees inside the room where we put it, but it’s 84 degrees outside the house. It could be even colder in here (the machine is capable of that), but we don’t want to feel too cold, LOL. Every summer until now, I have suffered so much (the heat makes my health issue temporarily much worse, until the air cools down). I really hope this one won’t be recalled in the future.
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!!!
350? Shit this unit was like 450 at my Costco. Returned for a swamp cooler, its colorado so swamp cooler works wonders.
I have it in my living room right now with vaulted ceilings. Keeps it 72 at 100 degrees outside so far
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.
Midea has a great unit. Bought mine last year from Costco online for delivery.
