Duo 12,000 BTU (10,000 BTU SACC) High Efficiency Inverter, Ultra Quiet Portable Air Conditioner, Cools up to 450 Sq. Ft., Compatible with Alexa/Google Assistant, Includes Remote

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:-)

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.

Bought this back in May 2025 for $480 (no sale) so compare THAT to today's price of $580 (March 2026) and even tho it's $100 more...this is a good unit. Still keeping my office cool during the day so I dont have to run the full AC all day, so this is probably paid for itself here in SoCal. It's quiet at low, and moves air well on high (yeah you hear the fan, but the actual compressor itself is quieter than if you stood next to a window mounted AC outside...so don't be worried about compressor noise inside. Keep the filter clean. I dont have to empty the tank bc it's dry here in SoCal, but you might with high humidity!

This is my second one of these! My first one is in the bedroom and I loved it so much I bought another for the computer room to replace an older, louder and weaker unit. The unit is SO much quieter than the other one so myself and my partner don't find ourselves yelling at eachother anymore. It also is extremely effective, getting cooler quicker and I don't find it struggling in higher temps like the last one. The one thing I have to say it that the app is a bit hit or miss. Sometimes the device shows up as available and I'm able to turn it on/off from there and other times it's gray'd out. Not a deal breaker at all, but it is a slight detraction since I like to check in to make sure it hasn't turned off since my dogs are at home.

Experience with Old A/Cs: Previously, I ran three portable single-hose air conditioners. This setup created significant negative pressure, which led to a hot zone in a hallway near the main washroom. The main drawback of single-hose units is that they expel cooled air from the room, drawing in replacement air from elsewhere—often through gaps or, in my case, the washroom vent. **Midea Dual-Hose Upgrade:** Switching to two dual-hose units completely eliminated this issue. Its now actually cool or normal temp in the hallway since air pressure is being maintained. The best part is the inverter technology: once the air conditioner reaches the set temperature, it gets quieter and consumes less power. The only thing that could be better is the window kit with some small gaps. However there is plenty of insulating material provided to make up for that. Even my old single hose units cannot compare to it and they had perfect windows kits.

This portable AC truly saved my summer. My old unit (borrowed from my MIL) constantly shut off whenever the bucket filled up, which meant waking up at night to empty it. This newer model is such an upgrade—it’s self-evaporating, so I don’t have to deal with the bucket at all. And controllable from an app! Beyond cooling, it also has 3 functions including heating, which makes it useful year-round. It’s quieter than other brands I’ve tried, and the included panels made it very simple to install and adapt to my window without hassle. Yes, it’s a bit pricey, but considering the convenience, lower noise, and the fact that I can use it in both summer and winter, I see it as a solid investment. Verdict: Efficient, practical, and easy to live with—highly recommended if you want a reliable all-in-one unit.

Air climatisé de haute qualité. Vient avec tout le matériel et tout ce qui est nécessaire pour installer. Silencieux, élégant, classe, vraiment de très belle et bonne qualité. Très bon achat. Fonctionne très bien.

This air conditioner is well made accept for adapter that goes in the windows it is cheap plastic and could easily break the company should change the material. I like how quickly it cools a room,easy operation and I find it quiet. It makes a louder sound when removing humidity from the room but not too disruptive. It has wheels so can move easily.
