Found one unit at my local Costco sitting with the Hisense portables. There was no price anywhere so I looked on the app, which listed it at $347 and low stock so I grabbed it. Other stores in my area show $489 list price, and now my store has no stock. YMMV, good luck.

The Midea Duo portable air conditioner is being treated as a strong value at $349, especially for its dual hose design and cooling performance. The unit is described as big, but still appealing enough that a renewed one at $300 and this warehouse price both feel worthwhile. The main issue is the heat claim, since the Costco 12,000 BTU version appears to be cooling only and the listing seems to mix in heat pump details from other Midea models. The price also appears to have been near this level for a while in some warehouses, so the deal may be more about availability than a rare markdown.

The Costco 12,000 BTU Midea Duo model is described as cooling-only and does not have a heat mode. The heat mention appears to be a listing error or carried over from older 14,000 BTU versions that did include heat.
$349 is described as a good deal for a new dual-hose Midea Duo, especially compared with a renewed unit bought for $300. Some warehouses have also had it at roughly this price for a while, so it may be normal local pricing rather than a one-day markdown.
Yes, at least one warehouse still had about five units left when checked at this price. That suggests stock was still available, though likely limited by location.

I went to purchase another one earlier this year, and it has been replaced with this12K btu, which did not have a heat option.
Maybe they changed the model within the last 3-4 months ???
Order one and take pics for all us to have the truth!
See attachment. Also this is what AI has to say about it. take it for what it's worth!
The 12,000 BTU Midea portable air conditioner sold at Costco (typically the Midea Duo cooling/dehumidifying/fan model) does not have a heat mode because it is strictly a 3-in-1 cooling unit. Midea makes separate heat-pump versions, but the specific configuration stocked on Costco warehouse pallets is designed only for air conditioning, fan, and dehumidification.

As I mentioned earlier, I would not do the legwork to check and see if the actual unit has heat. Finders keepers.
