Our Verdict

Midea Duo MAP12S1TBL

Hisense HAP0825TWD

If you have the room to set it up and store it, the Midea Duo MAP12S1TBL is a better overall portable A/C than the Hisense HAP0825TWD. The Midea can cool an equivalently-sized room faster, and is more efficient when cooling a room to your desired setpoint and when keeping it there. It also does an even better job of keeping temperature and humidity levels stable than the Hisense.
