This restored Midea Duo portable air conditioner is valued for strong cooling, dual hose efficiency, inverter operation, and the ability to handle large rooms without breaker trips. Several units arrived looking new and worked well for months, with some cooling quickly and running quietly enough to be tolerable. The main drawback is inconsistent refurb quality, with reports of missing adapters, remotes, wheels, dirty hoses, error codes, and even full water buckets on arrival. Warranty and returns also appear limited, so the savings come with real condition and support risk.
Common Questions (5)
No. Several units arrived missing the horizontal or vertical window adapter, and some also lacked the remote or wheel. A few arrived complete and looked basically new, so accessory completeness appears inconsistent.
It is a gamble: some units arrive like new and run well for months, while others show error codes, loud fan problems, bent vents, or missing parts right out of the box. The practical tradeoff is a much lower price versus the risk of a bad refurb and return hassle.
It can cool large rooms quickly and the dual-hose design is more effective than single-hose portables, but it still uses more power than a comparable window unit. One report measured roughly 250W running, while another found it used about 2-2.5x the watts of an 8,000 BTU window unit for the same space.
Yes, a P1 error can be caused by a full water bucket or a tripped float sensor. Emptying the bucket or correcting the sensor/tilt resolved the issue for multiple units, and one unit also needed a slight backward tilt to drain properly.
The listing is restored-like-new and does not include a one-year warranty; it is tied to a 90-day return policy. Walmart returns were reported as sometimes easy in-store, but some buyers were directed to UPS or had to use chat to get a shipping label.

I let it sit upright for 24 hours before turning it on because it was delivered on its side. Once I turned it on it started blowing cold air within a minute. I've used it dozens of times, sometimes continuously for multiple days, and it hasn't given me a single issue so far.
This unit replaced a Toshiba inverter dual hose unit I bought from Walmart 4 years ago at full price. It was fine the first 2 summers but had an error the third summer and wouldn't blow cold. I bought the extended warranty so I contacted Walmart, and after some back and forth with tech support they gave me a full refund. I gave that unit away and bought this Midea model. Hopefully this will last longer.

The warranty provider was useless and I ended up getting a full refund and kept the unit since it's not worth it to ship back, ended up buying a replacement fan and fixed it myself.
Anyway, beware the fan issue, and I recommend getting the 4 in 1 model which comes with heat as well. I probably use the heating function more than the cooling.
