About the Midea PortaSplit 12000 BTU
The Midea PortaSplit 12000 BTU is a portable split air conditioner: unlike a classic monobloc unit, its compact outdoor unit sits on the balcony or hangs from the window, connected to the indoor unit by a flexible hose — with no permanent installation and no drilling. You get the quiet, efficient cooling of a real split system with the freedom of a portable device.
With 12,000 BTU/h (about 3.5 kW), it cools rooms of up to ~42 m³. Its excellent performance-to-price ratio makes it one of the most sought-after air conditioners in France — and one of the main reasons it keeps selling out as soon as the first heat arrives.

Why this site exists
In the middle of a heatwave, in a flat that couldn't cope, I was hunting for a PortaSplit like everyone else. Being on the right site at the right moment felt impossible — once, the unit vanished while I was checking out on Galaxus. So I built this tool for myself: checks every 2 minutes, an email within seconds. That's how I finally ordered mine — on a Sunday at 10:10 pm, seconds after an Interdiscount restock. Two minutes later, everything was gone again. What worked for me can work for others.
No ads, no fluff: a tracker built for France.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Midea PortaSplit 12000 BTU?
It is a portable split air conditioner: its outdoor unit sits on the balcony or hangs from the window, connected by a flexible hose, with no permanent installation or drilling. It delivers 12,000 BTU/h (~3.5 kW) and cools rooms of up to about 42 m³.
Why does the PortaSplit sell out so often?
Demand spikes during every heatwave while stock stays limited. At most French retailers, a restock can be gone within minutes. That's why it pays to be alerted the second stock reappears.
How does the PortaSplitTracker alert work?
We continuously monitor the Midea PortaSplit's stock at the main French retailers (Castorama, Fnac, Optimea, Amazon…), every 2 minutes. As soon as stock reappears you get an email immediately — often before the sites' own pages are up to date.
How much does the Midea PortaSplit cost in France?
Depending on the retailer, it generally ranges from ~€900 to ~€1,200. PortaSplitTracker compares prices live so you can buy at the best rate the moment a unit is available.
Where can I buy the Midea PortaSplit in France?
We track stock at Castorama, Fnac, Optimea and Amazon (shipping to France). The map and list above show in real time who has stock, at what price and in which store.
How much does the alert service cost?
Access to the alerts is a one-off payment (see the price shown above), valid for 90 days. No recurring subscription: you pay once and are covered for the whole hot season. The price reflects real costs: checking stock every 2 minutes — more often than most players on the market — takes serious infrastructure, because retailer websites heavily restrict automated access. Every single check has a technical cost, and that is exactly what your access pays for.
Do you also track the 8000 BTU version?
No. We only track the Midea PortaSplit 12000 BTU, by far the most sought-after. The 8000 BTU version is the same type of unit with less power and much lower demand — most buyers go straight for the 12000 BTU to cool a decent-sized room.
Why are some retailers slower to refresh?
A few retailers are far more expensive to monitor, especially for stock branch by branch. Checking them as often as the others would push our costs up — and with them the subscription price, which would no longer be as accessible. We prefer to include them anyway, on a slightly slower cadence for their physical stores (flagged with a medal 🥇), rather than leave them out: it's a choice in the consumer's favour. National availability (online stock) stays monitored every 2 minutes whenever possible — that's where stock sells out fastest.
