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.

Kamarku panas bgt dan dulu dibeliin ac portable karena aku nggak tidur d rumah tiap hari. Dulu pakai Midea, entah yg varian apa. Kamarku 4x4. Gak berasa sama sekali, berisik, pembuangan angin panasnya juga aneh pokoknya. Karena berisik banget dan gak berasa apa-apa, semunggu kemudian aku pensiunkan AC itu dan pilih pakai kipas meja cosmos 200rb an. Sekarang itu ac portable dipakai kalau ada tamu nginep pas lebaran doang. Itupun ternyata tamunya juga pada gamau pakai. Selalu dimatiin sama mereka 😭 Kalau bukan AC proper, mending pakai kipas angin aja. AC potrable jelek.
