The Midea PortaSplit, a portable air conditioner that can be used for both cooling and heating, has become a highly desired product this summer, often selling out quickly as temperatures climbed. Unlike traditional split systems, which require permanent installation, the PortaSplit offers the same functionality without the need for drilling or professional installation. It consists of two units—an indoor and an outdoor unit—connected by a tube that passes through a window. These units are mounted on a metal support that comes with the product, making it easy to set up without altering the window frame. The Midea PortaSplit is now back in stock and is available with a slight discount of 10 euros, bringing its price down to 989 euros from the usual 999 euros on the online retailer Manomano. The discount is small, but the return of the product at a reasonable price is a relief for those who missed out earlier. The device is designed to offer the comfort of a traditional split air conditioner without the hassle of installation, making it ideal for renters or those living in apartments where a permanent system is impractical. One of the key features of the PortaSplit is its versatility. It operates as a reversible unit, providing cooling in the summer and supplementary heating in the winter. This makes it useful throughout the year, helping to justify its higher price. The device runs at 39 decibels in silent mode, making it suitable for nighttime use without disturbing sleep. It also includes Wi-Fi connectivity and a mobile app for remote control, allowing users to start cooling before arriving home. Additional features such as a dehumidifier and ventilation function make it more than just an air conditioner, offering four functions in one unit. Despite its benefits, the Midea PortaSplit has a few drawbacks. The indoor unit weighs over 30 kg, making it difficult to move between rooms. The connecting tube cannot be disassembled and requires the window to be slightly open, which may be a concern for some users. However, for those looking for a powerful, flexible cooling and heating solution for spaces up to 40 square meters, the Midea PortaSplit remains a strong option. It is classified as A++ in cooling efficiency, which is a good indicator of its energy performance. While the price is considerable, the ease of installation and its multiple functions make it a compelling choice for many consumers.
