Poor Manufacturing and No Quality Assurance
on July 6, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
from Naples, FL
My experience with this product has been extremely frustrating. When I first unboxed the unit, I immediately noticed that the outlet louver was bent (see attached photo). I requested a replacement, but unfortunately, the replacement had a loose piece of plastic inside the outlet louver (see attached photo), pointing to yet another serious manufacturing flaw.
Receiving two consecutive units with obvious defects reflects a troubling lack of quality control. It’s clear these products are not being properly inspected before shipment. I’m deeply disappointed with both the manufacturing standards and the apparent absence of effective quality assurance.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works as advertised.

The cooling works fine. Person upset about no apology, likly dosen't understand he is speaking with a call center that handles calls for multiple brands and different appliances, has no part in making or selling any items, and has no reason to apologize. They are a third party call center.

Probably the best air conditioner and worst heater ever
on December 22, 2022
Posted by: Frozen in Chicago
from Chicago
Verified Purchase:No
Despite not saying it anywhere, this product won't operate if it's below freezing temps outside. You'll get an abnormal "P9" Cold Weather Protection error if you go through and "check" the device. Upon calling customer service, they informed us that the heater won't heat if it's below 32 degrees outside. The heater won't heat if it's cold outside.... Next they'll invent a light bulb that doesn't work at night. That said the air conditioning portion of the unit is fantastic. Super quiet. I wouldn't actually recommend this but I'm marking it as if I would because they've got to be filtering comments on this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Cooling, Not So Much Heating!

from Baton Rouige, LA
Verified Purchase:No
I fell in love with this unit after my purchase(s). Had no problems with the A/C unit, eventhough temperatures got very high this summer season. However, as for the Heating part, had no issues until yesterday, Jan. 16th, when tempeatures dipped in the 30s. The system actually stopped working! It cut off and I was unable to get it started again. I am so disappointed as I said before. I fell in love with this device, so much so, I purchased another one. I actually have two of them. Yes, I purchased a second one soon after I purchased the first one. I just wish something can be done to rectify this heating issue. Clearly, I have invested a sizable amount in your device. For these reasons, I would not recommend this device.

I would not buy this product again.

Verified Purchase:No
The unit works good in the summer, however the heather is worthless in the cold. The blower just shuts down with no error codes to tell you what's wrong. This happened recently with temperatures in the 40's and won't even turn on with temperatures in the 30's outside. We still have central air and heat that works fine for the house, it's just that this one room that faces the north , gets colder than the other rooms thus the reason for the Midea Duo. Well ot doesn't work as advertised. Now we have freezing cold air coming into the room via the Midea Duo ducts coming out of the intake vents on the unit. Very counter productive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Nice AC but can't adapt
on June 28, 2025
Posted by: Bobble
from Seattle, WA
I bought two of them, and the one I have hooked up works great. Cool our room and doesn't wake me up at night.
The other one is where I have a problem. It uses a very non-uniform hose. I was going to set this up one with our sliding door (don't have any other windows that open downstairs). Unfortunately it's been weeks and I can't find any sliding door attachment that will work with the funky hose style this uses. Came on here to see if Midea sold one, but can't find one here either.
So be aware, these won't work with other adapters.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A/C works great; heater doesn't work in cold weather.
on January 7, 2024

Verified Purchase:No
This unit works great as an air conditioner. It's quiet and cools a warm room very quickly. However, I was surprised to learn today that it wouldn't turn on in a room that was 57 F. Upon troubleshooting online, I realized that is a limitation of this unit (it won't work when the outside temperature is lower than 41 degrees F. This information is critical to purchasers and it should be made apparent up front to consumers.

Decent Air conditioner for when its hot, bad heater
on February 16, 2023
Posted by: Tim C
from San Bruno, CA
Verified Purchase:No
I bought this unit because I have a condo without central air and it gets stuffy and I get hot in my bedroom, I use the fan and air conditioner regularly. However, it has been cold lately and apparently, the unit will not work when it is colder than 45 degrees F outside. So I basically was sitting in an icebox in my bedroom, pretty lame that the heater doesn't work when it's cold outside, I think the coldest was like 37, but was 41 when I woke up and still could not get it to turn on. Also, the water draining is a little cumbersome and I am not even sure which drain plug does what. Also would have been nice if you could have had the drain hose go with the vent to the outside. Smart features are ok, the remote and app sometimes battle out, so you have to power cycle with one or the other to get it to work properly. Also the auto mode is kinda wonky sometimes, it will start up like a jet engine just to turn down in like 15 seconds, a few times I woke up from sleep thinking someones chevy was driving through my window.
I would recommend this to a friend!
