Our Verdict

Midea Duo MAP12S1TBL

Hisense HAP0824TWD

The Midea Duo MAP12S1TBL is a better overall A/C than the Hisense HAP0824TWD. The Midea has a higher overall cooling capacity, enabling it to cool rooms a little faster while incurring lower energy costs during the cooling and maintenance phases. Not only that, but it also runs noticeably more quietly. That said, the Hisense is a little more compact and significantly lighter, making it a little easier to transport.
