Product Advice
Which device is right for me?
It depends on whether you want to actively lower the room temperature or primarily ensure pleasant air circulation.
What is the difference between an air conditioner, an air cooler, and a fan?
An air conditioner actively removes heat from the room and can lower the actual room temperature. An air cooler uses water and evaporation but is not a substitute for an air conditioner. A fan moves the existing air, creating a more pleasant and cooler sensation on the skin without actively lowering the room temperature.
Which device is suitable for significantly cooling a room?
For an actual reduction in room temperature, you need an air conditioner. PortaSplit, PortaSplit Cool, or a mobile monoblock air conditioner are suitable options.
How do I find the right capacity for my room?
Refer to the recommended room size for each model. Strong sunlight, poor insulation, attic rooms, high ceilings, large windows, and additional heat sources can increase the actual cooling demand.
Mobile Split Air Conditioners
PortaSplit & PortaSplit Cool
Both models work with separate indoor and outdoor units but are designed for different room sizes and requirements. Currently, available contingents can be reserved with a €50 deposit for an estimated delivery in September/October 2026.
What is a PortaSplit?
A PortaSplit is a mobile split air conditioner with separate indoor and outdoor units. This means that the compressor and a large part of the noise and heat generation are located outside the room.
What is the difference between PortaSplit and PortaSplit Cool?
The regular PortaSplit offers 3.5 kW cooling capacity, is designed for rooms up to approximately 42 m², and also has a heating function. The PortaSplit Cool offers 2.35 kW cooling capacity for rooms up to approximately 28 m² and can cool, dehumidify, and ventilate.
Does installation require drilling?
For the intended standard installation, permanent wall drilling is usually not required. The outdoor unit is positioned on the window with the provided bracket. The manufacturer's installation and safety instructions are decisive.
Does the PortaSplit fit every window?
Not every window construction is automatically suitable. Before purchasing, check the window type, opening direction, windowsill, space conditions, and secure fastening of the outdoor unit.
Can the PortaSplit also heat?
The regular PortaSplit has a heat pump function and can heat. The PortaSplit Cool does not have a heating function.
Can it be controlled via an app?
Yes. Both PortaSplit models can be controlled via the compatible Midea SmartHome app, as well as via the device and remote control, depending on the setup.
How does the pre-order with a €50 deposit work?
At checkout, you first pay a €50 deposit. This firmly assigns your order to the next available PortaSplit contingent. The deposit will be fully credited towards the total price when the remaining payment is made later.
When is the remaining amount due?
The remaining amount is only due when your PortaSplit is being prepared for delivery. For shipping, you will receive a payment link in advance. Delivery will take place after full payment is received.
Can I pay the remaining amount upon self-pickup?
Yes. For agreed self-pickup, you can pay the remaining amount in cash or by EC card on site. Pickup is only possible after you have received a pickup confirmation and an appointment.
When will my pre-ordered PortaSplit be delivered?
Estimated delivery is September/October 2026. As soon as your device is ready for shipment, you will receive further information about the remaining payment, shipping preparation, and tracking.
Monoblock Air Conditioners
Mobile Air Conditioners
Do mobile air conditioners require an exhaust hose?
Yes. With a monoblock air conditioner, the warm exhaust air must be routed outside via an exhaust hose. A suitable window seal can improve efficiency.
What is the difference between Silent Cool 26 Pro and Silent Cool 26 Pro WF?
Both models offer 2.6 kW cooling capacity for rooms up to approximately 31 m². The WF version complements the classic functions with networked control options.
Who is the MPPX-12CRN7 suitable for?
This model offers 3.5 kW or 12,000 BTU cooling capacity and is suitable for larger rooms. In addition, heating, dehumidification, and ventilation functions are available depending on the operating mode.
Does condensation form during operation?
Condensation can form during cooling and dehumidifying. Depending on the device and operating conditions, emptying or a drain hose may be required. Please refer to the operating manual for the respective model.
Air Movement & Air Comfort
Fans & Air Coolers
Does a fan lower the actual room temperature?
A fan does not usually actively cool the room air. However, the air movement can feel significantly more pleasant and cooler on the skin.
What is the AC100-20AR(WH)?
The AC100-20AR(WH) is an air cooler with multiple speed settings, remote control, and oscillation. It uses evaporative cooling but is not an air conditioner with a compressor.
What is the difference between MFP-120 and MFP-120i?
Both models combine a tower fan and an air purifier. The MFP-120i adds smart control and automatic adjustment to the detected air quality to the basic functions.
Which model is suitable for a finely adjustable airflow?
Models with many speed settings such as MFS242RDDW, MCF25GRB, or the MFP-120 variants allow for particularly nuanced adjustment.
How do I clean a fan or air cooler?
Unplug the power cord before cleaning. Clean the housing, grilles, filters, water tank, and removable parts only according to the operating instructions. Electrical components must not be immersed in water.
