Overview
- The Midea PortaSplit, a popular mobile split unit praised in mid‑2025 testing, returned to some retailers on Thursday and Friday and is selling quickly as consumers chase quieter, more efficient cooling.
- Lidl is offering the cooling‑only Midea PortaSplit Cool for €599, a marked cut from the €899 suggested price, but that model lacks the heating function included on the standard PortaSplit.
- Chip.de and other outlets flagged discounted HANTECH split units (9,000 and 12,000 BTU) that fall below €300 with the coupon code "COOL10," making budget split systems widely accessible.
- Portable split systems pair a wheeled indoor unit with a small outdoor unit linked by a flat refrigerant line so they run quieter and use less energy than single‑hose monoblocks, and many models include inverter compressors, app control and multiple modes.
- Shoppers should check room size, cooling vs. heat‑and‑cool variants and current stock before buying because seasonal production limits and fast sell‑outs mean the cheapest deals may disappear within hours.
