This Portable Air Conditioner BLEW me Away - 14,000 BTU Midea Smart Inverter

Midea changed the AC world with their UShaped AC - This one is even bigger but comes in a PORTABLE version. This DUAL-HOSE model is cold enough to cool an entire floor but quiet enough to sleep next to it.

Midea gave me this AC for free to test for 30 days, which I did before I shared this review. All opinions are my own.

BIGGEST & Quietest Portable Air Conditioner - 14,000 BTU Midea Smart Inverter

To anybody that's on the fence about getting a portable AC, I was unsure as well but after my central unit went out a few summers ago, I got one of these to keep my space liveable until the central could be repaired.

It was a smaller 10, 000 BTU device but it, combined with a good tower fan, did a great job of keeping my downstairs cool and comfortable.

A month later I bought a larger unit (11, 000 BTU) for my upstairs. Similar results.

Definitely saved us from overheating and both units kept the place almost as cool as the central air.

I have two of these in my house. Retrofitted the hose connection to a sliding door and a casement window. They are so good that it’s delaying me thinking about getting permanent solutions. 😊

It is a great unit. I bought the Toshiba 14kbtu heat/cool white cased rebranded version from Home Depot for $650. There are a few rebranded versions of same unit so shop around for best price. (Amazon link in original posting is smaller 12kbtu cooling only unit).

The 14 kbtu model does eat up most of a 15 amp 120vac branch circuit capability when at full power so you cannot add too much other AC loads on same 15A branch circuit breaker. If you have to add some cord extension, get a 14 or 12-gauge heavy duty extension cord no longer than you need. It will cut back power draw when room cools down as it is a variable speed inverter-compressor design.

I bought this for my semi truck at Costco clearance price 400. Best money ever spent. Drain once a week and very little comes out.

[petermaz]

I had this unit it is an excellent unit.
You really gave the most thorough inclusive review of the unit.

Purchased this for my daughter's apartment for college, 2nd floor in a very old house. Works great, puts out a lot of cold air

Another benefit of dual hose is less dust. My single hose portable air conditioner pulls air into the room any way it can, and dust with it. That may not be a big deal, except the same happens with smells, so when someone cooks in the kitchen, the smell in the room with the portable air conditioner quickly becomes overwhelming .

Love ours, saved my azz when old AC broke down. Kept us cool while entire AC system was replaced..Worth every penny/dollar 👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾

[Imiancrook]

I got the same one for my garage. Things a beast and just…super reliable.

The first summer after I moved to Washington was the hottest summer in the state's recorded history (summer of 2021). Normally, the summers are mild, so a lot of buildings don't have any AC, and they don't need them. Not the case that year. Like people died in their homes that season due to heat. My barracks room became unbearable, so even though it was massively overpriced at the time, I ordered the 12k btu of this unit. Literally saved my life, and it was extremely quiet to boot.
Actually, it was a bit too powerful for the room size and didn't dehumidify properly, but thanks to the inverter tech, I just had to manually set the fan to 10%, and I was golden. That was my first experience with a Midea AC unit, and I'm probably a customer for life now from that experience.

Anyone thinking of buying portable air conditioners needs to see the video about them from a channel called Technology Connections. If this particular A/C unit addresses the issues that most portable units have, then it might work, but a window mounted A/C will still be more efficient and offer better cooling.

Bought and installed 2. They are awesome.

[robertmunroe]

Great review Silver, great thanks. Yeah, agreed, dual hose is the way to go. Sounds like this thing is about perfect, but especially with the inverter motor. Hoping for just one more feature; low temp capable heat pump would be great.

[The_Cannabis_Connoisseur]

I had a 12, 000 BTU portable A/C that a neighbor gave me around 10 years ago and it worked OK. He only gave me the outlet vent hose for the hot air to go out the window, but he didn't give me the inlet vent hose to stop the cold air from going back into the inlet vent. It never really got as cold as a window A/C at least with one hose and because it was in my basement and the window was higher than the limit that the outlet hose should be from the outlet vent, so I had to place the A/C on top of a wooden box to be under the limit.

[TylerHVAC]

My two favorite brands are Midea and Cooper & Hunter. Ive had my Midea for a little while, little 5000 btu model, but it keeps two rooms and a bathroom cool, no problem.

[Pallidus_Rider]

I like that it works with casement windows 👍

[KismetBP]

Wow what a great unit. I have a couple of these portable units that I paid WAY more for at Lowes years ago that have 1/2 the btu & cool a way smaller area. I find so many great products through your channel! Thanks! ❤🤘

[vivianmalhiers]

I have this AC and never once had to drain it in heat mode. I’m currently based in Seattle, WA so we don’t have much humidity to begin with.

Just a couple items to look out for; The exhaust hose is very stiff so it’s hard to adjust/get on the window from an angle, the window panel clips can break easily (I already broke one on mine) & finally the air filter needs frequent cleaning depending on your environment. For me during WA’s pollen season I had to clean mine once every two weeks.

[theloneviking]

thank you silver symbol for another great presentation! I never seriously thought about one of these units because I always thought you had to have a drip hose connected but now you have me contemplating buying one of these, which if I do, I certainly will through your link.

[davekent]

I have this and I love it the only thing is I wish they had the cord wrap on the bottom they only have it on the cool not the duo
