AircoAlert, the European Midea PortaSplit stock tracker
AircoAlert monitors the availability of the Midea PortaSplit, the portable split air conditioner that sells out within minutes during European heatwaves, in real time across the retailers that actually sell it, and emails buyers the moment stock returns.
The story
The Midea PortaSplit has become the most sought-after portable air conditioner in Europe. Unlike a classic single-hose unit, it keeps its compressor outside on a window bracket, so it is far quieter (around 39 dB(A)) and needs no installation, no drilling and no fixed outdoor unit, which makes it ideal for renters and flats. Demand spikes with every heatwave while restocks are small and unpredictable, so when stock appears it sells out in hours, sometimes minutes. AircoAlert exists to close that gap: continuous monitoring plus an instant email alert the moment it is back.
For journalists: a data source
We are happy to provide data and commentary for stories on the PortaSplit shortage and the wider European portable-AC market: how fast the unit sells out after a restock, which retailers receive shipments, how demand tracks heatwaves, and country-by-country availability. If you are writing about it, get in touch and we will share figures and context, no strings attached.
