Does this unit bring air from the outside into the inside? Or does it bring air from the outside only into the unit to cool it off, then exhaust?

It does bring in outside air, contrary to what anyone else says. Go ahead and remove the rear panel. You’ll see that there is a blower fan behind the evap fins which pulls in air from the inlet hose - but this path is in no way sealed off or isolated. Once the hose opens to the body of the unit, air is free to flow throughout the entirety of the inside of the unit. Which means that the fan pulling air over the condenser coils is absolutely taking in outdoor air. Ran mine for a couple weeks before I opened it up…everything was caked with dirt and grime. This thing is going to be a nightmare to clean. Luckily I don’t have mine anymore so I don’t have to deal with this terrible product. Shane on Midea for their blatantly false advertising.

My neighbor smokes on his patio below me. If I run this unit while he is smoking, will it bring the smokey air into my apartment?

Hello, Amazon Customer. Thank you for posting your question about the Midea Duo Portable Air Conditioner. No, the smokey air will not be brought into your apartment. This unit only circulates air from the inside. Have a good day. mideacustomercare@hartehanks.com (BBB A+ Accredited Business)

How do I open the front panel to clean the mold inside?

Hi, Amazon customer. Thanks for your question about the Midea Portable Air Conditioner. We do not recommend taking the unit apart to clear the interior. If this is needed, please contact a certified technician in your area for additional support. Have a good day. Midea Customer Care. (BBB A+ Accredited Business)

The hose is actually a dual hose in a rectangular size about a foot wide and 8 inches long and connects to the window kid provided. It can be expanded so that the unit can be approximately 3 feet or so from the window.
