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.

This uses about 2-2.5x as many watts to cool the same space as the window unit.
Mine was missing the horizontal window kit and the power cord wrap. Fortunately, I didn't need the horizontal kit. If you do, I wouldn't recommend trying your luck with this.
It's not as quiet as our window unit, but it's fine. I just hate spending more on electric so our house is uniform with the other houses.
That said, your new unit using considerably more watts is expected:
1. Portable AC units use more than traditional Window AC units just by the nature of their design. For one, the condenser coil and compressor are both in the room with you and while the hose directs most of the heat from those components outside, it does not get all of it. The hose itself also gets quite warm, and again, the hose is inside the room with you which means it is adding heat to the room. This means a portable AC unit has to work harder to remove heat from a room than a traditional window unit.
2. You went from 8,000 BTUs to 12,000 BTUs. That is a substantial increase. If you had 2 Midea U units that were identical other than one being 8,000 BTUs and the other being 12,000 BTUs, the difference in amperage ratings alone accounts for nearly a 50% increase in power consumption.
PS - If your 8k unit was previously doing a great job of keeping the area in question cool and dry, you may encounter short cycling and moisture issues with a 12k unit both in the room and in the unit itself. I'd make sure to give the 12k unit plenty of time in fan mode to help keep the moisture inside the unit in check.
I had both of these on meters and noticed the window unit could drop to about 120w or so while maintaining the room temp. I've seen the portable drop down to about 200w maintaining.
I'm not really complaining about the energy consumption of the portable. I expected it to be higher and was just sharing my experience. My complaint is about the HOA. lol
I actually moved the UShape window unit to a back window to see if the HOA doesn't notice/complain.
The rotating vent was also dislodged but I was able to pop it back into place.
On the upside, at least I got the controller and correct window ports...
edit: I took off the back and found out that float sensor had broken off wherever it was intended to be, so it was resting tripped on the bottom. I think I'll probably just try to afix it somewhere with epoxy or tape since the unit otherwise seems to be in good condition and working. While keeping the box in good condition for possible return later. If only i could find a picture of where its supposed to be..
Update: found out it was missing the adapter for sliding glass windows. Trying to get another missing part.

This seems like a better idea since it will then just be kept for an emergency...
I now have to dispose the unit at cost to myself.
Beware of lack of warranty and service.
