Calculation basis: 35 ct/kWh (German electricity price, 2026, rounded). Values from the manufacturer data sheet; actual costs depend on use and tariff.
Build quality & everyday use
What carries the Midea FS40-15FR in everyday use: cheapest in the comparison (from €45) (full comfort features at the lowest price) and remote control, timer & display (7.5 h timer, LED display, otherwise only on pricier devices). We have to be honest about the weaknesses: only 3 speeds (AC), no fine control as with DC devices.
If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.
