There’s always a guy on TH-cam doing the lords work without any fanfare, and showing people how to do new things. They’re the real MVPs. Thanks for helping me set this up for my mother!
I can not thank you enough for posting this video. I am an older single woman renting and window AC units were banned. I bought this unit and felt completely overwhelmed. Your step-by-step video gave me the confidence to get it hooked up and running. Thank you SO very much. What a gift this video has been for me on what has been a VERY challenging time.
My husband and I truly want to thank you for this informative video. We sincerely appreciates you. So far we are getting good results from the use of this Midea 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner. We gladly rates you and the air conditioner 5 Stars 🌟🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 😊 .
Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I th-cam.com/users/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
President Obama here! I thank GOD For your video. It helped me to be able to install a Magnavox portable AC unit and your instructions helped immensely. You are an invaluable source of information and if I only checked the instructions alone I would have failed miserably. Thank you for your existence on Earth!
Thank you for your video. I am a disabled person, living alone, and I had to install this a/c unit by myself. Your video helped to explain exactly how to install it, and also, how to attach the drain hose. Thank you!! So much!!! :)
*Works so well **Fastly.Cool** that it only requires daytime operation until high temp and humidity are overnight. It is difficult to get to side filters, but back is easily accessible.*
It'll cool better at night the sun will not be beaming on the roof, and it cools down easier. I live in Florida, where we have humidity and that ac cools my room nice day and night.
Thank you!! That manual really does a poor job at explaining setup and I wasn't about to pay one of my handyman buddies to come build it for me. Glad I found your video!! You explained everything perfectly.
So guess what… I commented 11 months ago about my compressor going out. Now my unit is out again and thank goodness 😅 I kept these. I have a third one I have to set up and I couldn’t remember one step so I’m back here to look at it. Again I’m so glad you did this video!!!
Most other video review did not provide an honest or realistic opinion on how well the portable AC works; however, yours is one of few that have info I can use before I make a purchase, thank you!
I've had one now going on my 3rd spring. Our AC just doesn't push the cold air upstairs to the master bedroom and my stepson room. And i cant sleep if im hot. Being in Michigan I only need it from April to early September. At night that thing can get the room so cold we need a extra blanket. Probably could hang a side of beef. I love that thing. Best $400 I ever spent. My portable ac doesn't collect water. It evaporate any moisture and sends it back out the vent sleeve.
Thank you so much! The manual wasn’t horribly detailed so I’ve avoided installing it in my room! It’s supposed to be 90 here tomorrow so I finally searched TH-cam and I completely understand how now that I’ve watched your video! Thank you 🙏!!!
I just bought this exact one because I have back issues and lifting the window units is becoming to much for me. My son carried it in the bedroom which is about 10 x 11 and it's not crazy cold but keeps my toddler sons comfortable. I left it at 62 with our summer temps in mass rn of 90s for next 5-7 days. It is a little loud but not obnoxious.
Ours is in a 20x20 room and keeps it cool. We set it at 72-74 & it keeps it at temp. We've been running around 85-90 outside temps with extreme humidity and its still doing well.
Thanks for this. I set it up. I find the air coming out is cool not cold. After running it for 15 minutes it’s the same. I have it at the lowest setting. I had another brand Panasonic and the air coming out of it was cold.. I could hear the compressor working. So far on this unit I just hear a noisy fan and not the compressor.
I have one of these they work pretty great when your main ac dies . Ours did twice this year we found out the Freon cans were empty so we had the ac people come and replace or refill whatever they had to do to it? The ac man said it was frozen solid? He got it unthawed with our water hose.
Thank u for this video it definitely helped me set up my portable air conditioner!! Now to find a window A.C for downstairs...gonna have fun tryna set that up.
me too. especially a crappy ac like midea. i get afraid it will somehow just break everytime i hear the buzz noise. too aftaid it somehow exhaust itself and just die
I thank you so very much for you really did do a great job of reviewing this I was wanting someone to explain the attachment/hose that goes outside of the window along with the water drainage you covered it all again I thank you.
I just bought the exact one today from Walmart. Frustrated with the directions I looked up how to put it together on TH-cam and found you. You are the one that helped me put it together. Huge Thanks!! Question: I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do with the metal piece and two screws. What it goes to?! Thanks!! 😎
It’s a security bracket you can mount on your window to keep the window from being moved up. Doesn’t need to be on, maybe for people with small children… or if it’s a main floor window, it’ll keep people out.
E aircons work great as long as wattage is not low. Get a 4+ wattage. Mine is cooling like an aircon in an open plan situation. So worth it for my living dining and kitchen area.
I put a giant crockpot behind mine and it filled up more than 3 gallons of water overnight. I got it set to 62 degrees but it didn't cool the area even though I feel cold air coming out. The area is only about 3 feet by 6 feet. It's a little closed off insulated area by my back door that I also bought a storm door with a pet entry. I bought it for my dog. I'm stumped as to why it's not cooling. Lately the temps been over 100 everyday with heat index up to 115.
I put mine up on a table and made a hole in the plastic window thing for the tube to go out - now the water drains outside. Bucket filled up too fast with water here in Texas.
Thank you I just bought this and I have to install it now it’s already so hot in my apartment in Ohio so I’m going to use it in my bedroom. I didn’t like the window units because so many bugs and spiders came in all the time. Hoping this is much better.
Hi Ty for this video, plz can you clarify that hose, it attaches to the bottom of the unit or the upper with the screw on lid , other portables seem to have it on the upper but yours seems lower , would appreciate the help..ty
In the front do you have a black panel behind the white horizontal and vertical air panels that doesn’t seem removable. I just got one and it seems like it shouldn’t have a black panel blocking half the air? Idk if it’s a design flaw or just built like that.
Yes you need a hose on the bottom fir condensation to drain. In the 2+ years we've had it though we've only ever had a few drops. Our window a/c create much more water than the portable one.
Two side filters? I got no instructions but it's bit been cool till I shut it off n in again. Drain hose in tip seems to pee out water so I bought a lomg hose. Bottom one has a screw in cap some place thing I aide with a plug on it. Didn't think it was a drain hose. But until I took it off messed with the temp thing aka wiggled it. Finally I git cold again. Are both drain holes n is there more than one filter area? Could be half my issue. I see a filter up top that comes off and you clean etc but where are the other ones ans how do they come off?
We only use the bottom drain plug. We clean the filter....blow it out monthly. At tge end of summer I open it, take off the casing, and do a thorough cleaning before storing for the winter.
Help! I bought a used one & need the # for the window kit including the square piece that slides onto the back. I don't mind not having a remote but I need to know what parts to order. Thank you 🙂
I have a strange question but I bought this same unit used, It is missing the back piece that snaps on the unit that connects to the air hose. I have searched the internet with no luck finding the exact replacement in stock. Would you be able to measure the piece to see if I can find an off brand replacement? I can’t find the measurements for it anywhere and have emailed multiple companies.
The unit adapter? Its a square piece that connects the hose to the unit is what I believe youre talking about. Midea.encompass.com has it for $5.95 plus shipping part number 12120600006211 - hope that helps
The main reason I'm looking at buying one is so I don't have to deal with heavy lifting one in the window. I want a 10,000 BTU which is very heavy. Newer one have phone apps and require wi fi connection which I don't have so they would have to have optional remote control or push button like your have.
I just got this unit I love the midea dehumidifier and the app hoping this ac works with the app with the dehumidifier this and my air purifier from honeywell my room is going to be amazing thank god fl power is cheap
It does hum and kicks on and off as it hits temp or falls below. We sleep just fine with it but that said I dont like really quiet. I sleep with a fan in for tge noise.
My window has a bug screen on the outside. I did not have to remove it because the ac piece goes on the inside. The hose clips in the top hole of tge ac and in the corresponding window hole.
@@ameripino4872 hi thank you so much, appreciate the reply… from what I gathered everyone instructed the bottom plug , the generic useless instructions etc,,long story short, woke up this morning with my kitchen flooded so as you instruct, shoved it in the upper hole , it is elevated and the short hose leads to a bucket , seems to be working great now, I keep checking for water but so far so good…Ty again for taking the time to help someone out,have a great day 😀

So very true!

We purchased this unit and thank you for giving us a great review.
Looked at your video and assembled my unit without fault. Thanks

it's so nice how it all came together .. your hubby did wonderful sis, such a handy man

Glad it helped!
Thank you so much…this help me install with confidence rather than pay someone 100 to help me
Use pipe insulation on the exhaust pipe. It generates a fair amount of heat back into the room and the insulation will help it to all make it outside.
Thank you so much, Im married single and your detailed demonstration enable me to assemble this machine❤❤❤❤
I just ordered my 8,000 BTU rated for 350 sq ft. I am excited to have this during the oppressive Texas heat!!!

Thank you so much I was confused with exactly what the manual says but I learn better by watching how it's done
Thank goodness you did this!! My compressor just went out and the part is on back order smh
Thanks for this. I set it up. I find the air coming out is cool not cold. After running it for 15 minutes it’s the same. I have it at the lowest setting. I had another brand Panasonic and the air coming out of it was cold.. I could hear the compressor working. So far on this unit I just hear a noisy fan and not the compressor.
I'd take it back - it should start kicking in right away. When we turn ours on its running within a few seconds
I have one of these they work pretty great when your main ac dies . Ours did twice this year we found out the Freon cans were empty so we had the ac people come and replace or refill whatever they had to do to it? The ac man said it was frozen solid? He got it unthawed with our water hose.

You are my hero. Thanks for the great video. Gonna go ahead and grab one. 🙏🏽
I just got the same unit . I believe its best to run on automatic. Let the machine to decide rather to dehumidify or cool . Just set the temperature.
me too. especially a crappy ac like midea. i get afraid it will somehow just break everytime i hear the buzz noise. too aftaid it somehow exhaust itself and just die
_Great video, man. Thank you. Easy to follow_
Your partnet did great job for installing the AC sis, looks perfect, very realistic review!
Thanks for sharing guys. Very helpful for us who's planning to buy the same unit. Tnx👍
I thank you so very much for you really did do a great job of reviewing this I was wanting someone to explain the attachment/hose that goes outside of the window along with the water drainage you covered it all again I thank you.
Thank you for the tutorial, it was great. And the AC is working great for me. I just keep it in my bedroom
Thank you ! Easier than the written instructions
happy for you friend you got your new 3 in 1 portable air conditioner we need that pag sobrang init ang weather
VERY helpful review! Thank you!
These things work excellent it keeps my room cool

Does it need water
Thank You!!! Your video saved me a ton of guess work with this unit!!!
that was amazing review you did a really great job thank you for showing us
This is very good sis specially in summer days, 3-n na sya pedeng pede na. Galing ni hubby mo, sya lang nag install.
Just installed one. Thanks for the video. Really helped
Hindi na mainit kapag summertime kasi may aircon na at portable pa. Ang galing ni hubby mo mag install. Ayan umandar na after installing.

We set ours at 74 and it cools a 20x20 room no issues. Unplug yours and let it sit a few hours then try it again. Set at 62 may have froze it up.
Thank you for your help! You should do more things like this🥳
great installation and review good quality portable ac
I put mine up on a table and made a hole in the plastic window thing for the tube to go out - now the water drains outside. Bucket filled up too fast with water here in Texas.
Going to do the same thing here in Oklahoma
a handy thing to have, good to see that your husband is also a handyman...
Thank you ..you explained it nice and simple
Cool! I need a portable air conditioner. This looks perfect.. your hubby is very handy!
Thank you I just bought this and I have to install it now it’s already so hot in my apartment in Ohio so I’m going to use it in my bedroom. I didn’t like the window units because so many bugs and spiders came in all the time. Hoping this is much better.
We are in Ohio & it worked great for us. We never used it as a dehumidifer just as an AC. Its easy to install and keeps cool.
@@ameripino4872 I’m loving it. it’s working great. I get gallons of water everyday.
@@NikkiPumpkin31 do you have to empty it alot or does it only need emptied on the humidifier option? I just don't want it to flood essentially 😂😅
@@NikkiPumpkin31 Do You Have It On Dehumidifier ???
I Never Use That Mode And Have Never Had To Drain/Empty Mine
Hi I just bought this one, do you have to keep the drain tube in all the time?
Very helpful video. Thank u bro.
Great work sa hubby mo sis installed na portable conditioner nice review

Hi Ty for this video, plz can you clarify that hose, it attaches to the bottom of the unit or the upper with the screw on lid , other portables seem to have it on the upper but yours seems lower , would appreciate the help..ty

Excellent video.
WHOOO AWESOME SHARING GUYS YOUR HUBBY SISSY VERY HANDYMAN DAMING ALAM DIN SA BAHAY AYOS YANG MAY AIRCON SA INIT NG PANAHON NOW
Thank you for the video! I bought one this morning and it didn't come with the manual to set it up.
Mine has no instructions or remote
@@reneebrimm Wow! Mine looked unopened and everything.
Wrap the exhaust tubing with foil or heat reduction wrap. Makes a big difference.

Hello 🧑🍳Ngày Mới Nhiều Mai Mắn ạ 👍🏻🔔
Beautiful air conditioner 🎥. Like 👍🏽
I think I need dis kind of air-conditioned dahil sobra init ngayon dito samin
Yun oh nagreview ts nagkabit ng portable aircon
Thank you very much for this video
Good job very informative.
so nice very thanks for sharing
Hello good evening my friend 👍🏻
Thats good portable air conditioner and review
Great review sis and your husband did well
Thats very cool airconditioner portable sis
Freeze a 1/2 gallon of water (milk jug) place it behind where the filter is. This was make it blow super cold.
In the front do you have a black panel behind the white horizontal and vertical air panels that doesn’t seem removable. I just got one and it seems like it shouldn’t have a black panel blocking half the air? Idk if it’s a design flaw or just built like that.
No black panel on ours
Very educational.
Hay quá bạn ơi cảm ơn bạn chia sẻ video 👍👌
Thanks for the sharing. One question, do I need to connect the drainage hose when I use the cool mode?
yes
I have this same unit an it works good.
Still don’t understand if I need a hose or what the two different hose pieces are
Yes you need a hose on the bottom fir condensation to drain. In the 2+ years we've had it though we've only ever had a few drops. Our window a/c create much more water than the portable one.
@@ameripino4872mine caused my entire rug to be soaked and still is after almost a week idk why
Two side filters? I got no instructions but it's bit been cool till I shut it off n in again. Drain hose in tip seems to pee out water so I bought a lomg hose. Bottom one has a screw in cap some place thing I aide with a plug on it. Didn't think it was a drain hose. But until I took it off messed with the temp thing aka wiggled it. Finally I git cold again. Are both drain holes n is there more than one filter area? Could be half my issue. I see a filter up top that comes off and you clean etc but where are the other ones ans how do they come off?
We only use the bottom drain plug. We clean the filter....blow it out monthly. At tge end of summer I open it, take off the casing, and do a thorough cleaning before storing for the winter.
Help! I bought a used one & need the # for the window kit including the square piece that slides onto the back. I don't mind not having a remote but I need to know what parts to order.
Thank you 🙂
It should have a model number on the unit. Type in the model number on Google and search parts.
Wow naman hndi na mainitan si sugar at chocolate nyan hehehe
I have a strange question but I bought this same unit used, It is missing the back piece that snaps on the unit that connects to the air hose. I have searched the internet with no luck finding the exact replacement in stock. Would you be able to measure the piece to see if I can find an off brand replacement? I can’t find the measurements for it anywhere and have emailed multiple companies.
The unit adapter? Its a square piece that connects the hose to the unit is what I believe youre talking about. Midea.encompass.com has it for $5.95 plus shipping part number 12120600006211 - hope that helps
The main reason I'm looking at buying one is so I don't have to deal with heavy lifting one in the window. I want a 10,000 BTU which is very heavy.
Newer one have phone apps and require wi fi connection which I don't have so they would have to have optional remote control or push button like your have.
I just got this unit I love the midea dehumidifier and the app hoping this ac works with the app with the dehumidifier this and my air purifier from honeywell my room is going to be amazing thank god fl power is cheap
Ours works with the app
I love the new movie Midea cools my bedroom lol
Beautiful air conditioner uncle
Very cool content nice stuff
How loud is it? How much much noise does it make? Can you sleep with its noise?
It does hum and kicks on and off as it hits temp or falls below. We sleep just fine with it but that said I dont like really quiet. I sleep with a fan in for tge noise.
And also did u add a bug screen? Plz if you can clarify if the hose stays on the bottom plug or in the top? Ty
My window has a bug screen on the outside. I did not have to remove it because the ac piece goes on the inside. The hose clips in the top hole of tge ac and in the corresponding window hole.
@@ameripino4872 hi thank you so much, appreciate the reply… from what I gathered everyone instructed the bottom plug , the generic useless instructions etc,,long story short, woke up this morning with my kitchen flooded so as you instruct, shoved it in the upper hole , it is elevated and the short hose leads to a bucket , seems to be working great now, I keep checking for water but so far so good…Ty again for taking the time to help someone out,have a great day 😀
Nice review portable Aircon
I find when it's time to drain, you can tip the machine and I put a thick towel down to soak up the water.
