Overview
- Several reviews published on May 24 report that demand will push prices up this summer so shoppers are advised to buy early to avoid higher costs and stock shortages.
- Home&Smart rated the Midea Silent Cool 26 Pro 'Sehr Gut' for quiet operation and strong 9,000 BTU cooling, noting R290 refrigerant, A energy class and a high dehumidification rate.
- Hands-on testing reported by Chip.de and a three-month YouTube field test found the Midea PortaSplit delivers even cooling, very low seasonal consumption of about 48 kWh and low noise in Silent mode.
- Practical drawbacks surfaced across tests: condensate must be managed for some units, hoses can kink during storage, and at least one user reported an unanswered manufacturer query about replacement filters.
- Deal roundups show lower-cost bestsellers such as WoleixHaus and Comfee offering similar 9,000 BTU capacity and R290 refrigerant, so buyers should match BTU to room size and check warranty and service terms before purchase.
