This restored Midea Duo portable air conditioner stands out for efficient bedroom cooling, quiet inverter operation, and a dual hose style that is more effective than single hose units. Several deliveries looked new or nearly new, and some arrived with all accessories and worked well right away. The main drawback is quality control, with reports of missing adapters, remotes, and other parts, plus occasional rattling, error codes, or damaged units. Support and returns have been easy in some cases, but not all. A solid option if you are willing to gamble on condition and completeness.

$10 more than a month ago.

One year later with the heat pump version, and I'd say it has already paid for itself in electricity and gas savings for cooling only the bedroom at night and then covering the fall and now the spring shoulder season: heating until a few days ago, and cooling as of two days ago.

One quirk is that the auto setting is messed up, and it seems to only pick up weather at a different location. I learned not to keep it on auto but either on cool or on heat.

An upgrade I would recommend is a $40-ish drain water pump, it sits on the floor and when full dumps the water through a hose that empties on the roof through a tiny hole in a window seal. No more need to empty a can or bucket when full.
Mind letting me know what kind of drain water pump you added? Got this going into an AirBnb so feels like it would be a critical addition.

I needed a new portable AC unit but I took the comments here to heart and ordered 3 of these. 1 works great and looks like it was probably never used. 1 seems to work fine but has error code EC 54 on the display. The 3rd one won't work, the fan that should be blowing cool air never blows at all and the display shows EH 03. I can't seem to find what either of those codes mean. I'm definitely returning the EH 03 unit since it doesn't work at all. I really like the one that just works the way it's supposed to so I'd love it if the EC 54 unit could have the code cleared permanently (resetting the machine doesn't work). I emailed support, hopefully it's an easy fix.

As soon as I posted that I got the fix for the EC 54:

Before I posted, I did go through the first page of google results with no success but did so on my phone. I switched over to my laptop and posted my comment about 2/3 of the units having issues and then searched again and the AI answer actually provided the above link.

I turned mine for the first time and I heard noise. I saw a piece of plastic in the air blow outlet. Can anyone let me know how to remove the air blow outlet?

Just got this delivered. The cardboard box had come detached from the bottom Styrofoam base. I suspect I'm missing accessories. Definitely no remote. Is the refurbished units suppose to come with everything a new one has? All I got is the main unit and the plastic window panels.

Should have all its bits n pieces.
I was missing the exhaust ring and the plastic cap that goes over the lower drain plug.
Midea's customer service chat said to return it, but contacting the seller through walmart's marketplace seems to be getting those parts shipped to me (haven't arrived, so I won't 100% say it worked yet)
So I recommend contacting the seller through walmart's marketplace.
