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 extracts heat from the room and can lower the actual room temperature. An air cooler uses water and evaporation but is not a substitute for air conditioning. A fan moves the existing air, creating a more pleasant 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. This includes PortaSplit, PortaSplit Cool, or a portable monoblock air conditioner.

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.

What is a PortaSplit?

A PortaSplit is a mobile split air conditioner with separate indoor and outdoor units. This means 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 it require drilling for installation?

For the intended standard installation, no permanent wall drilling is usually required. The outdoor unit is positioned at the window with the provided bracket. The manufacturer's installation and safety instructions are paramount.

Does the PortaSplit fit every window?

Not every window construction is automatically suitable. Before purchasing, check the window type, opening direction, windowsill, space available, and the 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.

Is app control possible?

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.

Monoblock Air Conditioners

Portable Air Conditioners

Do portable air conditioners need an exhaust hose?

Yes. For a monoblock air conditioner, the warm exhaust air must be vented outside via an exhaust hose. A suitable window sealing kit 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 adds networked control options to the classic functions.

Who is the MPPX-12CRN7 suitable for?

The model offers 3.5 kW or 12,000 BTU cooling capacity and is suitable for larger rooms. Additionally, heating, dehumidifying, 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. 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 usually does not 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 detected air quality to the basic functions.

Which model is suitable for finely adjustable airflow?

Models with many speed settings, such as MFS242RDDW, MCF25GRB, or the MFP-120 variants, allow for particularly differentiated adjustment.

How do I clean a fan or air cooler?

Unplug the device before cleaning. Clean the casing, grilles, filters, water tank, and removable parts strictly according to the operating instructions. Electrical components must not be immersed in water.
