Buy it if
- Dual-hose design is far more efficient than single-hose portables
- Quieter than competing portable units
- 14,000 BTU, powerful enough for larger rooms
Skip it if
- Still less efficient than a comparable window AC
- Bulky unit takes up floor space
- Exhaust hose must reach a window regardless
What owners love
- Dual-hose design is far more efficient than single-hose portables
- Quieter than competing portable units
- 14,000 BTU, powerful enough for larger rooms
- No permanent installation required
The recurring gripe
- Still less efficient than a comparable window AC
- Bulky unit takes up floor space
- Exhaust hose must reach a window regardless
The bottom line
Portable ACs are generally inefficient, but the Midea Duo is the least-bad option by a wide margin. If a window unit isn't possible, this is your pick.
