Midea Duo 14,000 BTU (12,000 BTU SACC) High Efficiency Inverter, Ultra Quiet Portable Air Conditioner, Cools up to 550 Sq. Ft., Works with Alexa/Google Assistant, Includes Remote Control & Window Kit

I wish I had bought this unit seasons before I did. It is superior to a one hose unit in every way possible. 1. It doesn't create an air pressure vacuum in the room. I can shut the door with ease. I don't feel air being sucked in through every crack, crevice and window. 2. The hoses are housed in a covering that doesn't get hot. 3. The ease and speed with which it is able to cool the room is incredible. 4. Using the app to control it is suuuper easy and much better than looking around for a remote (though it does come with one). 5. The vent / swing is designed in a way that it puts out way more air than past units I've had. 6. The parts used to create the window covering around the two hoses is all superior to past units I've had. It's a strong metal instead of plastic and I feel that helps a lot with preventing air leakage. I love how it slowly ramps up from start to fully blasting instead of abruptly slamming on. There is a slight buzzing sound at times- but I've gotten used to it and to be honest if that's the only con for all of the pros I'm getting...I'm okay with that. I overheat VERY easily and I've never had my bedroom be this cool without having to seal it up like a biodome...and even then the units I had were working 24/7 to keep it cool whereas the Midea dual hose seems to be able to do it fairly quickly and then turn off. Also my electric bill is still low / reasonable. So yes, the hype about a dual hose is real. They are superior in every way and this unit in particular is obviously well designed and made with high quality materials. I spent a lot of time researching portable AC's and sat on the fence for too long over whether to go with a dual hose. I had probably been using the unit for less than ten minutes before I knew I had made the right decision to invest in this unit.

Unit is simple to install, very quiet and cools very well. I’ve had it only a few days. I use it to help cool a room that is in the sun in the afternoons. I had a smaller unit from a different maker but wanted something more powerful. The old unit never had to be drained of water.With this Midea, the issue comes when running for a few hours in cool mode or auto mode; it will beep 8 times and display a P1 code and stop blowing cold air. This means it’s full of water. The drain plug one the bottom is so low that the hose doesn’t work to drain it unless you lay the tube flat and drain directly on the floor. If the hose is in any way elevated it won’t drain. The plug is too low to put a container or even small plate under.So every few hours it beeps and I have to unplug it and take the ac hose off and roll it outside to drain it and watch a bunch of water drain from the bottom and top drain. Then I have to roll it gave inside, hook it back up and a few hours later repeat the process over again.I’m really disappointed as I really wanted this to work out.

I live in Sw Florida and have a 24 ft cargo trailer that i converted the front half into an RV for a business i started and needed a portable a/c to make it livable when in use. I first went with the Shinco 10k BTU portable a/c because of the price, i bought here on Amazon for only $230 lol, i got it, cut out a circular hole out of the floor and used a marine "porthole" with a cap that unscrews to vent the exhaust pipe throught the floor, and the cap screws back on when not in use.The machine was nice and quiet when running and blew cold air out but simply could NOT cool that little space (12x8 area), even with it being an insulated cargo trailer that i paid extra for. I was extremely disappointed and gave it a few days running and even at night it would barely be comfotable in there. I boxed it back up in disgust and sent it back!I started researching portable a/c's and quickly dicovered that it couldnt cool because of it's poor design (you get what you pay for!), it used the interior air for the heat exchange and dumped out enough hot air underneath the trailer to rival a clothes dryer which meant every bit of air that was sucked out and exhausted from the interior meant the interior needed to "make up" that amount of air on drawing in new hot moist air from the exterior through the cracks, it shot itself in the foot, extremely POOR DESIGN! On top of this, the exhaust hose created an enormous amount of heat itself, what a nightmare!This Midea unit uses a "dual hose design" 2 in 1 and it takes the outside air for the heat exchange then blows it back out through the same hose (there's actually 2 hoses inside the main hose, 1 for intake, 1 for exhaust) and no heat from the exhaust hose.This Midea unit with the dual hose design is amazing, it instantly starts cooling and within 15 min started up at MID DAY its already comfortable, in an hour its as cool as your home a/c in the 70's and living in South Florida is brutal in August, it's been 98 degrees here with near 100% humidity. This unit EASILY makes cool air to spare, i highly recommend it!
