PortaSplit Sold Out Across Germany Brauche Klima Launches a Local Stock Search to Help Consumers Fin

BERLIN - July 3, 2026 - PRLog -- As Germany's record-breaking heatwave drives the Midea PortaSplit to near-total sellout, Brauche Klima today launched a local stock search that helps consumers track down remaining units. The free service, available at brauche-klima.com, consolidates reported availability from Bauhaus, Hornbach, Toom, OBI, Hagebau and Globus into a single, location-based search.

Germany has just experienced the most severe heatwave in its recorded history, with temperatures exceeding 41°C on multiple days in late June. With residential air-conditioning penetration across Western Europe at just three to six percent, demand for portable cooling has overwhelmed supply. The PortaSplit — requiring no permanent installation — has all but vanished from shelves, with second-hand units selling at multiples of the original price.

For consumers still searching, finding stock is a task in itself. Availability is scattered across retailer websites, each handling store selection differently, and listings for the PortaSplit, PortaSplit Cool and universal bracket are easy to confuse. https://brauche-klima.com solves this by letting users enter a postcode, choose a radius of 1, 5, 10 or 25 kilometres, and filter by product type. Results show reported availability, distance, price and data freshness — with complete units separated from accessories so shoppers are less likely to travel to a store showing only a bracket.

For a product that sells out within hours of restocking, the service also offers Radius-Alert: users select a product and area and receive a notification when new stock appears nearby.
"During the first heatwave in late May, we watched people in forums coordinating stock sightings across cities and driving long distances on outdated information," said andy, founder at Brauche Klima. "The product decision was already made — what was missing was a simple way to see where it might still be available nearby."
