After 3 years our unit has stopped cooling. It’s just an overly large fan now. The timing is great because we’re having a bit of a heat wave this weekend. It did work great up until it didn’t.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Midea Duo: The Hype Melts Fast Scam or bad luck?
on June 29, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
from Dallas TX
After extensive research, I selected the Midea Duo to cool a well-insulated 176 sq. ft. room — far below its advertised 500 sq. ft. capacity. Unfortunately, it’s failed from day one. Despite being set to 69°F, the room has stayed stubbornly at 80°F for three consecutive days and nights. This room is fully insulated, airtight, and typically the most climate-stable in the home.
The dual-hose window port was installed exactly as instructed — snug fit, tight seal, and aligned with the top section of the window panel. Yet, I feel significant heat radiating from the plastic port connection, and air leaks are clearly present. For a premium unit, this design flaw is unacceptable. That hose connection is the weak point — allowing outside heat in, undermining performance.
Worse, I’ve repeatedly encountered Error Code 54. While Midea support helped initially, their workaround no longer works. The unit now runs continuously without cooling, racking up energy costs and offering no comfort.
Side note, it does heat well…. During summer temps. 😒
This unit was supposed to relieve us from Texas summer heat after over six weeks with no air conditioning. Instead, it’s nearly as useless as the broken system it was meant to replace. And that flaw in the dual-hose design should not be enough to hinder a unit built to cool a room nearly three times the size. Unless Midea steps in with a real solution — refund, redesign, or replacement — this stays a 1-star review.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Worked for 1 season, then the EL-OC error came up 2 months after warranty expired. Midea could not help in any way besides directing me to their "repair" specialist. Very unfortunate

Bought to cool bedroom while central AC was out. Easy to install in vertical and horizontal sash windows. Works great. No problems. Will use as an as-needed supplement during hot spells next summer.
