Questions about Midea Porta Split

Due to the enormous number of sales in recent weeks, we can now only fall back on an enormously expensive offer from one supplier. As soon as the other suppliers are able to offer the item again, the price should normalise. However, we have never been able to offer a price of 890.

Unfortunately, we cannot answer whether and when this item can be ordered again. However, you are welcome to add the item to your watch list.

The product is offered by a third-party retailer via our platform, which is why we have no influence on their pricing. This may result in price differences compared to other suppliers.

No, the connecting hose is permanently fitted and cannot be removed!

At the time of writing, the goods are indeed not in stock, and the information provided on the article page is consistent with this. More than ten pieces have been ordered from the supplier.

Compared to an open window without any noise protection, a noise reduction is audible. However, the noise reduction is only slight, in my opinion.

Our prices may differ from other competitors or from the manufacturer. There may be various reasons for this, such as higher purchase prices for smaller quantities or additional import costs. We try to set a price in line with the market, but this is not always possible for us. https://www.galaxus.ch/de/wiki/6028

The seal is made with a fabric strip with zip and a self-adhesive tape (with Velcro) which is stuck directly onto the window frame. The two parts are then joined together (Velcro fastener) and the cooling hose is threaded in. The roll of adhesive tape and the fabric tape are very long. It should also be long enough for large door and window sashes.

Salut etienne. I was also amazed at how much the prices vary. It seems to me that the natural supply/demand situation increases for every day that is above 30 degrees. It seems difficult to slow down scalpers. Whether this is expedient also remains questionable. In my opinion, there are two sides to scalping: On the one hand the sellers of overpriced products and on the other hand the customers who are willing to pay inflated prices. Personally, I try to buy a little in advance: e.g. heating oil in summer, the convertible in winter. As long as people don't think ahead, scalpers have their customers...

Negative, is permanently installed and a closed system.

It is still recommended to use the included window sealing with this device to reduce outside air entering the room and increase cooling efficiency. The sealing is designed to fit tilt and turn windows and roof windows, attaching with Velcro strips for a good seal around the window sash and frame. This helps keep the gap minimal despite the connection hose, which is particularly flat (2.7 cm) compared to other AC units with thicker tubes. The window must remain open for the hose, but the sealing and included window lock prevent drafts and keep the installation secure without damaging the building. Thus, while the hose is thinner and less intrusive than in some other units, using the window sealing is still necessary and recommended for optimal performance and comfort.

It is delivered with a CH adapter

We source our products from different suppliers to ensure availability as far as possible. As soon as a supplier does not have the item in stock, we switch to a supplier with higher availability. Each supplier offers different prices, so there may be price differences. There can be various reasons for this, such as higher purchase prices for smaller quantities or additional import costs. We therefore work with daily prices. See here: galaxus.ch/en/wiki/6028

Hopefully the prices won't rise that high, but let's see how sales and, above all, the remaining availability develop.

Could it be related to the solar radiation of the outdoor unit? My Midea rattles in Auto mode without any fluctuations...

The appliance has a power consumption of around 1230 watts when cooling, which can be easily operated with a normal Swiss socket with a 13 ampere fuse. A 13 amp fuse corresponds to a maximum output of around 3000 watts (230 V x 13 A), which means that the appliance's consumption is significantly lower and is safely compatible.

Due to different suppliers and delivery conditions, there may be price differences compared to other suppliers. We always try to set a price in line with the market, but this is not possible for all products. We already have a higher purchase price for this product than the one you mentioned. We are therefore currently unable to match this.

The outdoor unit is designed to withstand heavy rain and wind and is therefore suitable for such weather conditions. It is not necessary to take the outdoor unit inside when it is raining. However, it is recommended to remove the outdoor unit during thunderstorms or strong winds to avoid damage. The bracket and fastening elements should be checked regularly to ensure their safety.

The hose is fixed at both ends.

Farmers, plumbers and other chrampfcheibe get it certainly also over a ladder in the screed if partner or son man helps. Normal mortals only get lumbago and relationship problems. The indoor unit weighs around 35 kg and only has indentations on the sides, which makes it a little unwieldy to carry. The outdoor unit is much lighter and smaller. Even a child carrying it behind is enough. It would be possible in terms of weight, but the connection of the appliances would be more of an adventure. The appliances can be stacked, and thanks to the castors on the indoor unit, you can easily push the whole thing into a corner.

No, but it is delivered by lorry. Both appliances are stacked vertically in the carton, making it a large carton.

The estimated delivery information comes directly from the source of supply and for this reason we cannot provide any other information.

Unfortunately, neither we nor the supplier have any information about the bracket. You may receive an answer directly from the manufacturer if you contact them. The air conditioning system is classed as "portable", which is why it can actually be installed without additional authorisation. However, to be on the safe side, I recommend that you check this with your local authority.
