r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK As expected then, its basically like a proper mini-split system with the benefit you can take it with you!
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK No you'd need to keep the window or door ajar. However: 1) I think they provide sealing material to close any gap. 2) If they don't its easy to find something that will 3) Because it isn't creating a low pressure in the room, it wouldn't be drawing air in from outside as readily as a typical portable.

r/airconUK · REVIEWS MEGATHREAD # Midea PortaSplit 8000 BTU Review Got one of these a few weeks ago, just before the "AC crisis" and the second heatwave, so the timing couldn't have been much better! # Noise The noise level varies a lot because the fan speed is fully adjustable from 1-100% and the compressor speed changes accordingly. I mostly run it in Silent Mode as this adequately cools my \~4x4m room to a nice 19-20°C, even on a day where it's been over 35. I measured the indoor unit at around 45 dB from 1 metre away (using a phone app) in silent mode, which is about the same as my 16" desk fan on low. It's definitely not silent, but it's quiet enough that I have no problem sleeping with it. If you like a bit of white noise, it'll probably be perfect. It uses inverter technology, hence the much lower noise level than a standard portable. The outdoor unit is about the same volume as a large floor fan on low and shouldn't bother the neighbours. Once I close my bedroom door, I can't hear it anywhere else in the house. The only thing that does stand out at night is the condensate pump. Every 30-60 minutes it pumps water to the outdoor unit, and while it's not loud, it's noticeable enough to wake you if you're a light sleeper. You can get around this by propping the indoor unit up, putting something like a washing-up bowl underneath, and opening the drain at the bottom so it drains by gravity instead. That stops the water pump from running altogether. Compared to a run of the mill portable AC (usually 60+ dB), it's a night-and-day difference. My old portable was so loud I could barely hear myself think! The PortaSplit on silent is just a gentle hum that I mostly tune out. # Installation This is probably the biggest downside, especially in the UK. The supplied window bracket isn't really designed for our outward-opening casement windows. Alternative brackets exist (Amazon sells a few), but they're often out of stock. I didn't want to drill into the wall because I'm renting, so I improvised using one of the universal brackets. I stuck the self-adhesive mounting plate to my window frame and added a couple of shelf brackets to clamp everything securely. Very solid. Pic [here](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fwould-installing-the-universal-bracket-on-the-external-v0-7mx0xtn6n09h1.png%3Fwidth%3D687%26format%3Dpng%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Dc08dce639023c897e18fc077d0287a401a9aefa6) The ideal setup would be a balcony or patio where you can simply place the outdoor unit outside and block up the doorway. The indoor unit is also pretty hefty at around 40-50 kg, while the outdoor unit is under 10 kg. It has wheels if you wanted to wheel it about a flat, but it's a 2 man job for most people if you're carrying it up stairs. # Cooling This is where it really shines over most portable ACs. It's far more effective than the portable AC I bought a few years ago. I basically leave it on Silent Mode all day and it keeps my \~4×4 m bedroom at around 19-20°C, even when it was 37°C outside. Door closed and window blocked with a standard window AC kit. My old portable could barely manage to bring it down to 25 on a 35°C day and I'd have to sit right in front of the breeze to feel cool. As an example of how quickly silent mode can cool, one morning my room was about 27°C after being off overnight. I turned it on before going downstairs for breakfast, and by the time I came back about 20 minutes later, the room was already down to around 20°C. So with a relatively small cooling space, most other modes aren't needed. # Running Cost Power usage depends entirely on how you run it. In silent mode it draws roughly 250 W while actively cooling. As the room gets close to the target temperature, it gradually reduces its output to maintain it efficiently, and once the room is about 1°C below the target, the compressor shuts off completely until it's needed again. Even with current costs, costing me well under 10p an hour. If you ran it 24/7 on silent mode for an entire month it'd only set you back about 50-60 quid on your electricity bill. At full blast it'll draw over 1 kW, but in my room I've never needed anything close to that. # SUMMARY I'm really impressed with it. Worth every penny so far. If installation is practical for your home, it's a massive upgrade over a conventional portable AC. It's much quieter, cools far better, and is far more pleasant to live with. Even running almost exclusively in silent mode, it had no problem keeping my bedroom comfortable through the recent heatwaves. If installation is a bit of an issue then next best thing would be a portable with inverter tech for quieter, more efficient running and a dual-hose mod. Would recommend 👍🏻
r/AirConditioners · Midea Portasplit 12000 BTU Mobile Air Conditioner I got mine the other week in the UK, 8000 BTU unit for my 16m2 room, so it doesn't have the heating function but we have central heating so I don't need it. It's brilliant. Ditched my old portable AC because it's much more efficient and importantly much much quieter when running it in the quiet modes like Out-silent mode. Even in this quiet mode it cools the room better than my old portable while being way, way quieter. Issues are of course UK stocks since it seems like they're selling out as fast as they're getting in stock, and the window mount that comes with aren't compatible with most UK windows that open outwards. There are other bracket options but again, quite hard to get hold of. They come into stock on Amazon but then again sell out quickly.

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK If I could be sure this would fit in my French casement windows I would buy it! There is such a market here in the UK for good portable aircon yet we are stuck with crappy single hose inefficient units that are a PIA to set up properly with casement windows. I can’t believe no one has jumped on this as for at least the last few years every summer this debate comes up. There is a killing to be made. I’ve converted my current portable to dual hose unit and rigged up a window kit from various bits of recycled materials but it’s noisy as hell, a huge pain to set up and looks terrible. This would be far far better.

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Hose is 2.5m long. However as you can see from my pics, the hose exits the exterior unit from the top and has to come down to enter the bottom of my sash window. For me it’s fine as you can see, but worth thinking about your installation method and how it will impact hose length.
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK That’s exactly right. The hose isn’t detachable, might be tricky to fit through some restricted windows. The external unit is 500 mm (W) × 260 mm (D) × 438 mm (H), so should fit through most windows.
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Can’t blame you, not far off a full split cost wise. This is a good option for renters or people needing a temporary option.
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK The wire is attached to an attachment point on the I door unit, which weighs more than the outdoor unit. Just a safety feature. The outdoor unit is pretty light, under 10kg. Don’t think it would pull the rad out even if it fell.
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK At the lowest fan setting it really is whisper quiet. I would liken it to a modern standing fan in terms of sound quality and volume. Even at max power I would say it's absolutely "sleepable". Can't even hear when the compressor turns on / off.
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK The manual doesn’t say anything about removing the hose from either unit. I can see some screws around where the hose connects to the indoor unit, but I wouldn’t mess with it given the refrigerant passes through.
r/ukheatpumps · Any experience of Midea PortaSplit? Decided to buy the PortaSplit last week for the current heatwave. Went for the 8k BTU unit which should be more than capable for cooling whichever room needs cooling in my pokey 600sqft London flat. Frustratingly, AppliancesDirect the retailer have had stock issues and I now expect delivery on Friday. Missed the heatwave entirely! Whatever the case, I have very high hopes for the portasplit. I've had my fare share of portable units, hose out the window with a crappy DIY seal nonsense. Suffice to say the typical portable AC units we have access to here in the UK are far from ideal. For me, a portable unit is a must. I don't want an eyesore fixed unit on my wall for all months of the year, totally unnecessary for my uses. I would definitely go for a concealed vent in a bulkhead and proper split system, but I'm not planning on any remodeling soon. Maybe one day! My hunt started with trying to find a dual hose portable system, these are much more efficient than the single hose options as they do not create a low pressure environment which sucks warm air back in through window gaps. These aren't common at all in the UK apart from a few industrial units. I was also after the American-style window unit, where the compressor and fan coil sit in one unit, fixed to the window with the compressor on the outside. These are really cheap in the US and very effective. I don't know why we don't have them. I finally came across the portasplit, ticked a lot of boxes for me with efficiency and low noise. Definitely pricey compared to other portable units but worth it for me. Happy to keep you updated once it arrives Friday if you're interested.
r/ukheatpumps · Any experience of Midea PortaSplit? I thin it's fantastic, has been working great. I made another post in r/ukheatpumps if you want to check that out going into detail. My whole flat has been nice and chilly this week.
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Exactly the same feelings on my end. So frustrating, this is the only product I have found that fully solves the UK cooling issue. (If you have a compatible window!)
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK I think it’s designed for it. It even comes with an adhesive air tight seal to go around a hinged window, might be too small for a door. The benefit of the portasplit is you don’t need to stress about an airtight seal compared to typical portable units. Those create low pressure environment in the room which sucks warm air from outside back inside, so they can never fully cool a room. The portasplit doesn’t have that issue as the intake and extract are both outside.
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Baguettimus\_Prime, You'll be pleased to hear the window mounting bracket comes with an extra pair of much shorter legs for particularly deep window sills. There is information and a graphic in the instruction manual which shows information on when this should be used and how to swap them out. Sounds like a bit of a complicated one, and I don't think I could be 100% certain having received mine, but my hunch is yours will fit without issue. Best way of checking is installing it when it arrives! Good luck, I hope you get it soon...
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK The compressor is located in the indoor unit. The indoor unit is also much heavier than the outdoor, and they are tethered via a steel rope.

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK I’ve been looking at all the portable AC deals on HotUKDeals and… meh… I don’t get the attraction. Unless you duct incoming and outgoing air, you just end up sucking in outdoor air to replace the indoor air you’ve just vented out. Net result - putting the ‘con’ in Aircon I did a bit of research and stumbled across this unit, seems like a bloody brilliant idea. A load of the noise goes outside and it must be dramatically more effective. Glad it’s working well for you!

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK No unfortunately. Mostly because they’re completely out of stock (not a surprise) but also having a 9kg steel box hanging out the window 8 floors up above someone’s garden sounds a little dangerous and will almost certainly provoke a visit from the building management company. We may yet get one but we’re looking to move into a normal house first. In the mean time I’ll keep staying in hotels when it’s hot…
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Thank you mate. Apparently the freeholder won’t allow us to add anything to the exterior of the building, also we’re on the 8th floor with a sheer drop out the window so I’m a little iffy about mounting it out our window. But we don’t have any alternatives really so I might just go for it and have a fight with the freeholder later.
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Hey mate. How heavy is the compressor? I’m a little worried that the weight of it just going to snap off my window frame instead. We’re on the 8th floor so if that fell on someone’s head there would probably be some paperwork.

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Did you get one in the end? I'm in a similar situation on the 9th floor of my building, and pretty sure mounting the external unit to my window would lead to many raised eyebrows and possibly some strong words in my direction. There's a shared garden below albeit part of the garden that's rarely used, but as you say if it fell on someone it wouldn't be ideal.

r/AirConditioners · Portasplit Yeah; debating that but the air would have to get down the stairs and through the hall and I think it’s too far to combat heat spikes from sun hitting windows plus consoles and tv. I heard they were a lot more effective than the portable units but didn’t know if 8000 was enough for a big room with consoles and screens and such. Debating 2 of the 8000 units. Suppose it’s moot since finding stock somewhere reputable is like trying to find world peace.

So cheap you can have two if needed for £400

r/ukheatpumps · Any experience of Midea PortaSplit? Do you have a direct link rather than the group link? Although it's in the heat pump group, and I'm looking for the review on the cooling only? I've got a standard UK sideways hinge opening out window so along with others here, I don't know it it will work with this type of window (stop the warm air coming back in through the window). I'm ok ground floor and don't need a bracket if I put it on the floor outside the window. I hope the hose reaches my indoor floor to the outside floor but I am more unsure about the fittings for my type of window.
r/ukheatpumps · Any experience of Midea PortaSplit? Do you recommend it and where you recommended buying from, because it costs so much maybe there's a best online place? Also be nice to get longest warranty. I don't know anything yet, I'm just learning about AC options for this rented flat. Thanks

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK The BTU is the max amount of cooling capacity, not the amount of power which is used for that capacity. The portasplit is very likely to beat a portable "monoblock" system in terms of power efficiency for the same cooling capacity because it's not dumping the room air outside constantly. Worth watching this video on the topic: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_-mBeYC2KGc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-mBeYC2KGc) Or read: [https://www.woolie.co.uk/article/convert-ac-from-single-hose-to-dual-hose/](https://www.woolie.co.uk/article/convert-ac-from-single-hose-to-dual-hose/)

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Yeah they are scamming, someone else said they offered them £60 to buy the correct bracket. Have also refused me my rights for a refund too! Are you planning to get this fixed wall bracket or the one from the German site? The one they suggest is drilling in which makes it completely pointless having a portable unit! Im anticipating it arriving in a couple of days, im not even sure it'll work for casement windows. If it does will let you know, perhaps we get a few of us together to get this claimed back against Appliances Direct?
r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Avoid appliances direct / buy it direct - their customer service is absolutely terrible. They lie about stock levels (I ordered a Portasplit 8K unit) and I believe they have also mislead on their advertising about the window compatibility too. If you have uPVC windows that open outwards it's not possible to use the bracket supplied which is for inward windows only. Their service is so bad they've even breached consumer rights are are refusing to accept a return on it!

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Here is a picture of the bracket sideways. The bracket is 34cm wide, \~47cm tall and \~25cm deep. The outdoor unit is about 51cm wide, 27cm deep and 47.5cm tall. Pretty much every online listing has the wrong dimensions for the outdoor unit. I've also decided to return the unit as it doesn't work well with the windows in my loft conversion and I'd rather not drill a bracket into the loft exterior. The measurements being off are incredibly annoying as the outdoor unit is too wide to easily fit throigh my 50cm wide windows, it needs to be angled out. The outdoor unit also looks nothing like the pictures in all the listings. The unit does actually work well, but there's too many issues with getting the bracket to clamp on a UK style window with rubber lining around the frame and getting the outdoor unit out the window and back in. Unfortunately I don't think any portable mini splits are really viable for me due to the lack of suitable mounting brackets for the outdoor unit. If my room wasn't in a loft conversion and I had a normal wall I'd go for the portasplit and use the wall mounting bracket.

It also sounds like a nightmare to carry the two units up and down stairs if the hose cannot be disconnected. And I'm not sure if it breaks some restrictive covenant to install these brackets on the front exterior wall of my house.

r/ukheatpumps · Any experience of Midea PortaSplit? I got the 12000 version off them and it's expecting 27th June for delivery I could got the 8000 delivered Friday (yesterday) but it's just cooling and my flat gets HOT with sun all day so I went for 12000 which also is a heatpumps in winter (8000 model does not do heat, it's cool only I was told. Have you found that to be true?)

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK They seem confident that that little wire is going to be able to stop it from dropping to the floor Seems to be easier to get a window ac unit (that that even exists in the UK)

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK I was tempted by this but I think I'll just save and get a proper split system to all bedrooms. Seems a much better option than the typical portable units, though

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK This is a reason to get the 8000BTU version for a small bedroom rather than the 12000BTU version. Mis-sizing AC is actually pretty bad due to the cycling. Non-inverter AC also tends to be more powerful at the expense of being massively less efficient.

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK I think you’re OK as the bottom of your window is above the top of the indoor unit and it’s not going to pull the heavier indoor unit vertically up. In my case the bottom of my sash windows is very low, perhaps about 40cm from the floor. As the indoor unit is on wheels it feels like there’s a good chance it could be pulled across the floor and toppled through the window. I wonder if attaching an indoor hard point to a wall next to the window would be safe for 10kg.

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK I was very close to buy this. As you mention, it suppose to have by far efficiency compared to other portable unit. I think the only downside is its price. It cost triple than a budget unit. I just can’t justify the ROI given the usage maybe two weeks per year. Instead I decided to convert my hosed unit into dual hose. Although that hose is much ugly than yours. So I consider there is premium if you want to keep some style while cooling your home

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Just had mine installed with the UK wall bracket. What are your opinions on the outdoor unit noise? Think it'll annoy your neighbours? I turned mine on to test and it's pretty loud. Don't want any complaints.

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK Some portable mini split units have quick connect refrigerant lines which do allow you to disconnect and reconnect for easier installation but I doubt this one does

r/ukheatpumps · Midea Portasplit UK So you could only fit it through a window then I assume? You couldn't drill through a wall? I was thinking of one for an outside office but I guess this one wouldn't be suitable.

r/ukheatpumps · Any experience of Midea PortaSplit? Would the portasplit work with standard UK sideways opening windows? I'm struggling to understand how it is fitted

r/ukheatpumps · Any experience of Midea PortaSplit? Have been looking at these too and based in the uk . It looks a great unit but worried how its going to work well . Also I could get one delivered Friday too so need to make a decision. I'm fed up with the big hoses on the portable units and like the idea it comes with a wall bracket so it can be used upstairs etc and placed outside next to the window with 2 screws .

Questions fréquentes
Le Midea PortaSplit Cool refroidit-il vraiment bien ?
Le consensus Reddit est très positif, avec des pièces refroidies rapidement et des températures maintenues malgré une forte chaleur extérieure. Plusieurs utilisateurs le jugent nettement plus efficace qu'un climatiseur mobile monobloc.
Est-il assez silencieux pour dormir ?
Les utilisateurs Reddit décrivent le mode silencieux comme un léger ronronnement comparable à celui d'un ventilateur. La pompe à condensats peut toutefois se déclencher périodiquement et réveiller les personnes sensibles au bruit.
S'installe-t-il sur toutes les fenêtres ?
Non, les retours Reddit signalent surtout des difficultés avec les fenêtres à battant ouvrant vers l'extérieur. Le support fourni peut être incompatible, et l'unité extérieure ainsi que les liaisons non détachables doivent pouvoir passer par l'ouverture.
Son prix élevé est-il justifié ?
Les avis Reddit sont partagés sur la valeur. Certains estiment le surcoût justifié par le refroidissement, le silence et l'efficacité, tandis que d'autres le trouvent difficile à amortir pour quelques semaines d'utilisation annuelle.
J’ai la petite version (8000btu) et en 2h je suis passé de 29.5 à 26 en pleine apres midi dans mon salon de 40m2. Dans ma chambre de 12m2 sous les toits on arrive à maintenir 23 degrés en mode silence
