For those who were able to get the Midea Portasplit air conditioner, do you have a neighbor complaining about it? I got it last year and used it throughout the entire summer (mostly only in heatwaves as needed) as I had a newborn, and no one complained at all! The owner of the building lives in the apartment above mine and he had no problem. Now there’s a new downstairs neighbor and she is complaining constantly above the noise. She has “recommended” pretty ridiculous things like buying a new different air conditioner or using a fan instead. I think her “recommendations” are as rude as me recommending she wears earplugs or moves to the countryside (which of course I haven’t done). Anyway, has anyone faced issues? This device doesn’t permanently alter the façade of the building so we are entitled to use it, but the complaints are getting really annoying. I guess there’s a possibility she will go to the Verwaltung and if so we shall respond etc. No other neighbors (past or present) or the owner have ever complained. This has been going on for a month now. We don’t run the air conditioner the entire day, but we do use it during the heatwave. I am pregnant and feel terrible, and I have a 1 year old baby who cries because the apartment gets so hot. submitted by /u/36563
