Real Cool 35

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.

Meine leitet das Wasser über den mitgelieferten Schlauch in meinen Putzeimer.

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.

Meine saugt relativ kühle Luft über die Badbelüftung an. Klappt gut.

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

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.

I have 2 of them for the better part of 7 years. A 12k btu and 9k btu. Midea and Defy. One in my bedroom (4m x 3m) and one as a roaming AC. They work very well. I don't mind the noise. I pretend I'm on a flight somewhere. I won't do wall AC because I'm renting and my landlord is cheap and won't pay. This will suffice. It's better than nothing. I sleep like a baby.

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)

I have the same combination and it works, it's not ultra efficient but you don't need to turn it on all days.

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.
