"Electricity average around $2/day."
"It's a very good deal. ... The same machine (rebranded as Toshiba) is also sold at Home Depot and can be cheaper sometimes though not as cheap as the current deal."
"Also it was cheap in that time, 312 EUR (Midea, 12000BTU)."

"I have that unit and absolutely love it for its cooling power to noise output."
"It's a great a/c unit regardless, it runs so much quieter than a regular one. ... If I'm doing a quick audition I'll leave it on (I turn it off for paid gigs), which I could never do with our old a/c units."

"I live in South Fl so the garage gets super hot, with this running I can get the whole garage down the low 70’s maybe 68,69 with a fan helping blow it around."

"I have it in my living room right now with vaulted ceilings. Keeps it 72 at 100 degrees outside so far"

"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)"
"Support was crap. ... Just said “it has to have a drain hose connected when running in dry mode” even though I told them repeatedly it was not in dry mode. ... It was in “cool mode” which isn’t even mentioned in the generic users manual."
"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"

"If you have a small room you aren't going to want 12k anyway. It's not going to remove the humidity effectively... the room will feel cool but clammy and uncomfortable."
"one fills up with condensation and has to be drained every 15 minutes. ... I ended up having to jury rig a constant drain hose to it and it works fine but I’ve never had to do that with a portable before."
"Had a second Midea like the one you linked last summer and the Dry function didn't work."

"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."

"Nach zwei Jahren sind die Schläuche für das Kondenswasser einfach zerbröselt. ... Nun läuft überall Wasser aus."
"The other one had its hose cracked after 2 summers."
Danke für die Antwort. Gefühlt sind sowohl das Fiepen im Heizbetrieb als auch die Kunststoffausdünstung besser geworden. Letzteres ist beim Heizen auffälliger, da sich die VOCs hier eher an die Raumluft abgegeben werden. Vermutlich sind Menschen hier unterschiedlich empfindlich, denn das ist bei meinen beiden Geräten gleich; schon die Kartons riechen etwas plastikmäßig, wenn auch lange nicht so penetrant wie der Abluftschlauch der Midea Real Cool 35, der gar an Mottenkugeln erinnerte. Sonst aber ist die Portasplit fraglos einer der besten Kompromisse, die es am Markt gibt.
r/wohnen • Jemand Erfahrung mit Midea Portasplit Klimaanlage? ->Meine leitet das Wasser über den mitgelieferten Schlauch in meinen Putzeimer.
r/wohnen • Mobile Klimaanlage - bringen sie was? ->Ich habe eine Midea. Nein, es ist eine Monoblock, hehe. Gekauft, weil als leise beworben. Abdichtung gekauft, damit der Abluftschlauch einigermaßen gut abgedichtet nach draussen bläst. Frischluft zieht sie über die Badbelüftung. Ist relativ leise, aber nur relativ. Deshalb steht sie im Schlafzimmer. Im Wohnzimmer bringt es max. 5 Grad weniger. Aber: die Luft ist deutlich trockener, und allein das verhindert sehr gut das dahin köcheln im eigenen Saft.
r/wohnen • Mobile Klimaanlage - bringen sie was? ->Meine saugt relativ kühle Luft über die Badbelüftung an. Klappt gut.
r/wohnen • Mobile Klimaanlage - bringen sie was? ->I just bought one ironically. I have a 3-car garage that faces the afternoon sun. Bought a 12000BTU AC from Costco and it can’t really keep up, but does a good enough job bringing it down to around 82f. The problem is that it’s drawing 14A and I have only one circuit to my garage so bigger is not an option without doing some electrical work
r/orlando • Anyone have a portable AC in their garage? ->100 off until 6/15, I bought mine from last year, it got me through last summer. You probably want to get it before sale end, summer is already here. costco also have a 8000btu dual hose Hisense for 280? it’s smaller and lighter, not sure about the power consumption. This 12000btu AC pulls 1400w at maximum power I use latex rubber hose for drain. I think I’m going to dock at an EV charger to charge my 20kwh power stations/batteries.
r/urbancarliving • [no build] Costco $350 midea 12000btu portable AC, best bang for your buck ->C’est horrible ça, je viens d’installer une clim midea 12k chez moi. Je croyais que ça va résoudre tout mes problèmes. Et mtn j’ai un nouveau soucis, comment fonctionner cette clim dans mon appart Apres avoir investi : clim + kit fenêtres + insulation tuyaux + insulation des fenêtres et portes= 650 700 euros. Et mtn j’ai un système ne baisse pas la température assez, fait rentrer de la poussière et odeur l’air rentre de partout. horrible, je suis tjs dans les 30 jours de retour mais je trouve pas un double tuyau.
r/france • Les climatiseurs mobile double tuyau sont interdits en France ou quoi ? ->Have both of these... The 8k Hisense has a quiet mode that slows down the fan. If your room is borderline too big for 8k it may not be able to keep temp in this mode but it is genuinely quiet. The 12k Midea does not have this mode. In addition, when the inverter kicks on it really is quite the kick. It's also a bit bassy while it's spooling up. If you are a light sleeper it will wake you up.
r/Costco • Comparing the Midea vs Hisense portable AC units? ->Check Slickdeals, I recently bought a refurbished 12000BTU Midea for $200. I live in California, currently 95F, and for an uninsulated garage of that size, you'd want at least a 12000BTU Midea if not the 14000BTU. There's currently a 18500BTU mini split on sale for $550 that be optimal.
r/AirConditioners • Looking for Advice: Portable AC with Heat Pump for Garage – Which One to Pick & How to Vent? ->Yeah, those are not ultra efficient but they work, I had it for the last 3 summers including this and works great! Also it was cheap in that time, 312 EUR (Midea, 12000BTU). I used a plastic adapter to cover the window, of course close the cortins and close the other room doors to increase efficiency. My electric bill had no changes I don't turn it in all the days, just when it is 30+ outside (like today). And my cats are now safe! (First summer one of my cats throw up because of the heat)
r/germany • Are there actually any portable a.c units that don't suck? ->I have the same combination and it works, it's not ultra efficient but you don't need to turn it on all days.
r/germany • Are there actually any portable a.c units that don't suck? ->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.
r/Costco • Comparing the Midea vs Hisense portable AC units? ->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? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
