Ok the machine works great. Very quiet... alexa option is handy. Chills the room very quicky. However, the hose, the mounting braket absolutely horrible. Pops out several times and i have to resort to drilling screws just to secure it.

This unit BLASTS cold air for a great distance. With the louvers set to “swing”—my whole living room gets cool very quickly. In fact—I had to turn it off a couple of times—and sit shivering under a blanket!I was also impressed at how quiet it is. I’ve only run it on the highest setting so far—and it’s right next to where I sit to watch TV. It doesn’t bother me at all.The remote control, and the WiFi connection to the app, were super easy to set up.The only problem (and it’s a BIG one) is the window installation kit. It only extends to 68.5 inches. My sliding glass door is 91 inches tall. Even using TWO complete sets of kits didn’t help. For one thing—all of the included panels don’t universally ‘mate’ to each other. As a result I had to use 2 panels with the opening for attaching the hose—and then mount another full panel behind the upper one, to cover the hole.The photo—taken after some of the upper panels came crashing down—shows how it buckles, and pulls the hose out of its panel, leaving enormous air gaps. Waiting for my favourite contractor to return from vacation to fix this mess!I ended up with a leaning tower of panels—with gaps you can put your fist through. Within a day—the various joints began to buckle—and the top 1/4 came crashing down.I think the window installation kit would work perfectly with the average hung or sliding window—making this unit an excellent choice.However, if you have to install in a sliding door—be prepared to construct a custom window kit, using wood.

I have set up my airconditioner with the help of a friend. I was concerned that the item delivered was sent with the venting adapter for a hung window. That was a lot of plastic. And my window is a casement window. Fortunately a friend was able to use the adapter sent to me. Where I live, most apartments in any buildings built from the 1970s on tend to have casement rather than hung windows. It would be helpful to be able to opt out of receiving, and paying for, a vent adapter one can't use.I have given this a/c a test run. It is still too cool where I am to be using it for any length of time, so I can't give you an account of how satisfied I am with this purchase.

I've had this unit for only 3 weeks now and so far so good. I will try and write another one after a few months. What's good about it is the vents that blow out the cold air are a wide output and plus it has a swivel that blows the air up and down so it makes the air go in all directions and if you don't like that you can just set it on One Direction. All the other units that I looked at only had it blowing up from the top of the AC unit which to me defeats the whole purpose of getting to lower levels of the room where you will be sitting or lying down. The compressor is very quiet and so is the fan. It has a sleep mode that a lot of units do not have and it saves on electricity. The new design of a dual hose unit that is two hoses in one is genius! It comes with an adapter that snaps right in and you can keep the hose straight and not have to twist it. Now everybody complains about the window assembly kit and what a pain in the butt it is but that is like that on any portable AC unit you buy. The plastic screw posts don't push in all the way but just enough for you to push in for it to stop the panels from sliding and I recommend you put those plastic babies on both sides of the sliding panel. You will also need to use tape like clear packing tape or duct tape to the back side of the panel to keep it from loosening or sliding down. I have a Long window height and there was extra extended panels that made it go all the way to the top so that was great. You will notice a tiny bit of some air gaps around the adapter clamps and the hose but it's negligible. When I did research there were only two models out there that were dual hose in hose units, the Midea and the Dreo. They both look very similar except for one important factor is that the Dreo blows cold air from the top and doesn't have a big vent that swivels like the Midea, and I liked it because it was black and modern looking I used to have a white one and it eventually turned an ugly yellow color. The one thing I can say that can use Improvement are that the LED panel is hard to read on the unit itself at night time. It should have had much more backlight and the letters are hard to read and I fear as the unit gets older that the display is going to be harder to see the white letters. Also the remote control back light so you can see the display on the remote control longer is always turning off after just a few seconds and doesn't give you enough time to see the letters or numbers. But I do keep it near my bed on the table so that the AC unit can get the proper temperature of the room from the remote control. I almost always use the Midea app to control the AC unit from my living room so I don't have to get up. This unit has great blowing distance and I can feel the air blowing from all the way across the room and it also cools off my kitchen as well as my living room. I usually keep it on 77 and it quietly goes low when it reaches that temperature and then turns off and then automatically turns on when it needs to and it doesn't make a loud sound when it turns on it's a very nice gradual sound. I haven't gotten my electric bill yet but I am expecting it to be lower than it was with a single hose unit that I had. When you get the unit shipped make sure to have paid for the $10 charge for them to deliver it into your home as it is 72 lb. To open the box cut off the straps and then open the top and take out the attachments and then lift the Box straight up and it will separate the bottom part and you can lift the whole box above and out of the unit. It caught me by surprise because I was wondering how in the world am I going to lift a 72 lb unit all the way up from a tall box. The units specs are excellent it has 12,000 BTU and SACC of 10,000 which is more energy efficient. I also bought the 4-year Asurion protection plan which gives me great piece of mind. I hope this helps you all that are considering this great portable AC unit. And please reply if you have any questions or comments about my review:-)

I bought this for a studio so the area is much smaller than what it's designed for but I have no seperate rooms to seal up. Bought it with the intention of keeping it for a few years when I'll hopefully move to a bigger place.Unit has definitely been getting louder as time passes and I honestly feel like the filter isn't going to be enough to keep it maintained long term. Will definitely need to be opened up and cleaned out after a year or two.Works super well though and relatively easy to set up.Be careful with the ventilation hose/pipe. Easy to split the corners of it when extending to the window but I'm planning on insulating it anyway so not a deal breaker for me.App won't work with it on 5ghz wifi so make sure you have dual band or 2.5ghz if that's a dealbreaker for you. Personally I'll be buying a new router as my Shaw one doesn't work with most smart devices.Definitely recommend the AC unit.

This review is for the Midea Duo. I bought this because I needed a portable AC for one of the bedrooms in my condo because the central air is inadequate. I especially wanted a smart AC so that I could use it with my Alexa ecosystem. Unfortunately, despite the good looks, quiet operation and good build quality, this thing has some major shortcomings that make it unusable and a complete waste of money.For starters, I received it with one of the tabs used to hold the hose in place on the window slider broken. Therefore, I needed a replacement part but Amazon doesn’t carry parts, so they had to send me a while new unit so that I could return the unit with the broken part. This delayed its use. Amazon was good about it so I don’t have any complaints there.The first major issue I have is with the window slider itself, a part that must be used in order to use the AC. For starters, you’d expect a $600 AC to come with high quality accessories but this part is cheaply made, flimsy and thin with absolutely no insulation properties at all. Furthermore, once assembled the sides are not flat, so you are left with gaps between the flat surfaces of the window and the sliders. They give you foam tape to adhere to the edges but this is inadequate. You’re left with a window insert that not only gets hot, but also lets bugs in and sound/ outside noise. The other issue with the slider is that for some stupid reason, they placed the hole for the exhaust hose very close to one edge. Its so close that when you use the sliding window adapter, it hits the sill and cannot snap into place. You have to build it out on that sure to get it to work. Why wouldn’t they just have centered it!? Furthermore, the hose is huge, probably twice the width of standard units and it’s unwieldy, so as gentle as I was being with this thing, one of the tabs broke (again!) and now it won’t connect properly … I had to glue it on with ABS cement so it doesn’t pull out. Unfortunately, due to the uncommon shape of the hose, you cannot upgrade to something else and you are left trying to modify it. Fine, I took two 1x2” wooden rails and created a box to support the sliders and added styrofoam to insulate it.Unfortunately, the second major problem is that this unit does nothing for the humidity while in AC mode because it reuses the condensation to make it more efficient… but, even though I have this thing keeping the room at 68 degrees, it jacked the humidity up to 84%! So the air is really dense and because of this it’s uncomfortable and useless! Unfortunately because of all the time it took to get this thing situated, Ive missed the return window by several days and now I’m out $600!I highly recommend staying away from this product. I really wanted to love it but instead I loathe it!Pros: good build quality of the AC unit itself, wifi and smart app enabled, quiet, blows a good amount of air.Cons: huge unwieldy exhaust hose, cheaply made and poorly designed hose adapter, cheaply made and poorly designed window sliders.

I liked the idea of inverter control technology in a portable A/C unit. I have a heat pump dryer made by Midea and despite early issues I love it so I took a chance on the A/C unit. We just had a heat wave this spring and the quality and efficiency paired with its low noise level blew me away. My old window unit wouldn’t get cool enough without a little modification and it was always loud. I like my room to be around 17-18 degrees C. This unit decided that it could be on super low and keep my room at 16.5 while it was 26 out side. It did it so well I had to turn it up a notch. Being able to keep tabs on it over my phone is nice also but whit the remote control not ver necessary.
