       Seems I ordered a Midea PortaSplit, a portable split AC. I can put the outdoor unit on the balcony!I wish we had a proper AC installation

       I have a single unit portable AC in the bed room that I bought in 2020 which is already doing a good job with that room.But the other one can cool the living room, idk.This shit is getting more important each year, not just for temperature but also humidity.Yesterday I had like 70% humidity at 20.5°C while it was 31°C outside.

       @ariadne I think this boils down to electricity. These things suck 3500W or 2800W I believe for the small one (12k/8k BTU).So you'd need to do special 230V outlets near windows/doors and then you can just do real AC?

       @ariadne there's also smaller camping units that I'd be curious about installing in the small rooms though which don't suck that much power, but I suppose you have those in the US?

       @juliank nope, we don't have portable minisplits of any kind here.  i converted a portable AC into a quasi-minisplit by modifying it with a computer water pump

       @ariadne 🤯 that is a clever solution, we modify portable AC by gluing shoeboxes to the air intake and then routing a 2nd huge tube outside for the fresh air intake path.
