Keeping cool this summer – Courtesy of Midea

Midea’s timing is perfect. Summer is almost upon us so they have announced four new products to help keep you cool as it heats up

On offer are ice-makers, fans, dehumidifiers and an air conditioner available online or at major retailers.

First up is the The Midea 12kg Bullet Ice Maker 

You’ve heard of sweating bullets but how about an ice maker that produces them instead? With the ability to produce up to 12kg of ice per day, in cool bullet shapes, it avoids the need for that trip to the servo to battle the Christmas rush.

Specs

• Daily Ice Production: Up to 12 kg of ice per day.
• Speed: Produces a batch of 8 bullet-shaped ice pieces in roughly 6 to 9 minutes.
• Ice Sizes: Dual options allowing you to choose between small (great for quick chilling) or large bullets (ideal for cocktails).
• Water Tank Capacity: 1.3 litres.
• Core Features: Includes a user-friendly digital display with “Ice Full” and “Add Water” indicators, an auto shut-off mechanism, and a one-touch self-cleaning mode.
• Design & Accessories: Features a compact design suited for kitchens, office breakrooms, or caravans. It comes with a removable ice basket and an ice scoop

Next comes the Midea Circulation Turbo Fan

With an adjustable stand to take it from a pedestal fan to desktop and promising to be designed to produce less noise, maybe that’s what you need in your home to take the edge of the incessant heat.

Specs

• Adjustable Stand: Adjustable height holder lets you use it as a stand fan or a table fan
• Removable Aroma Tab: The central tab pops out so you can add aromatherapy oil for a pleasant scent or a mosquito repellent
• Airflow: 5-blade design and anti-drag rear guard for more powerful airflow
• Noise: Patented dual-circle blade design maximises air circulation at lower noise.
• Oscillation: Dual oscillation with 85° horizontal and 135° vertical coverage
• Speed Levels: 4 settings (Low, Mid, High and Turbo)

Summer can not only be hot, it can get pretty sticky too so Midea have released the Ultra-Large Capacity Dehumidifier

Designed to reduce not only humidity but also to help reduce the accompanying mould that is hard to avoid in tropical and sub-tropical zones, this unit pulls up to 50 litres of moisture per day from the air.

Specs

• Banishes Mould & Bacteria: Automatically controls room humidity within a comfortable range of 45%–55%
• Effortless Continuous Drainage: Built-in pump drainage function automatically pumps the water out directly for seamless, hands-free operation.
• Daily Moisture Removal: Removes up to 50L of excess moisture per day from large spaces (101–116 m²).
• Smart Summer Comfort: Outfitted with Wi-Fi and voice control (works with Amazon Echo and Google Home), so you can remotely switch the unit on and off, set timers and change modes
• Multi-Modes: 3 modes (Continue, Comfort, Turbo) let you personalise your comfort, plus a 24-hour timer and auto-stop.
• Minimal Noise: Optimised refrigeration and air duct system minimises noise and maximises comfort.
• Eco-Friendly & Safe: Uses R290 refrigerant, so keeping your home comfortable doesn’t harm the environment.
• Overflow Protection: When the water tank is full, the water level switch turns the unit off immediately.

Lastly comes the handy EcoTough Window Air Conditioner

Designed for rooms between 13 m² and 19 m² with window openings or walls that vent fully outdoors, this reverse-cycle unit is ideal for bedrooms, studies or small living areas. Midea say that it “makes it a practical option for spaces where a split system doesn’t suit”

The EcoTough Window Air Conditioner possesses 2.8 kW of cooling and 2.45 kW of heating and includes a remote control and swing vents to distribute the air throughout the room
