  • Great AC unit to assist my central air
Style: 12000 BTU
I purchased this unit purely because i was looking for something to help make our upstairs a bit more comfortable. As with a lot of other people, our central AC works fine for keeping our house cool overall, but the upstairs gets a few degrees warmer. Cold air just doesn't stay upstairs and my office computers really pump out the heat from being on all the time. This AC unit is strong enough to assist in keeping our whole upstairs cooler, coordinating with the overall system. We set it to eco mode, auto to 75 degrees. It runs when it needs to, in order to cool off the warm air that rises as the day goes on. 12k BTU is rated for 550 square feet, but when it is just helping a central air system along with ceiling fans running on low it cools everything down. I feel a genuine, large difference upstairs due to this addition. It is everything I hoped for and more. The unti itself is part of a movement in new AC units toget the condensor portion outside. This decreases noice in the room where itis installed. You only hear the fan inside the home. I had to open a window next to it to hear the outside portion running. It's only as loud as you allow the fan to run inside. This unit is widely regarded as the most energy efficient model you can buy. That's a great perk. I believe a good portion of this is that many people report that the central AC can run less, saving you money overall from before adding this unit. It's too early for me to see ifthat is true at this point. Some people reported issues with setting options via the remote. I had no problems using the remote. As logn as it isclose enough when setting options, it sets the unit accordingly. I have the same experience using the app on my phone. I have not set the option yet for using with Alexa. Installation was simple enough, taking care to read and follow instructions. Watching the video they link to with a QR code helps as well. Once you have the needed information for the install, like window type and measurements, it's pretty simple. I had plenty of supplied foam to properly seal around all areas of my window opening. I took extra care around the mount to use some small pieces to block the bottom of the bracket in a lipped window sill. It took about an hour to properly install. A quiet, efficient system that costs a little more due to the functionality. That's my best description of this unit. I find that it is an excellent solution to assist a central AC upstairs. ... show more

  • Best window AC on the market, but beware the install
Style: 12000 BTU
Let me start by saying we purchased two of these units (12k and 8k BTU) as a temporary AC solution while we get ready to upgrade our furnace and install a heat pump, so I’m a little more forgiving of the flaws here. The Bad - Other reviewers mentioned the installation process; it’s not as easy as the videos make it look. Budget an hour at least to get everything right. - The bracket which holds the unit is resting on the edge of my screen frame rather than across the top of the track. NBD but it will leave a mark. - The front of the bracket leaves a gap where air can get in. I covered it with the included insulation tape. - The front of the bracket is full of adjustment holes and is ugly compared to an other sleek unit. - The anti-tip L-shaped arms and the extendable window track arms did not fit my window; my units sit slightly forward because I had to leave clearance for the lift bar on the bottom edge of the window. As a result, both units are resting on their brackets and held in place by the window resting in the U. - WiFi setup with the Midea Air app was easy enough, but I still can’t get it to work with Alexa. Given that the Alexa app is pretty awful (c’mon Amazon invest more here) I can’t tell whose fault it is. - Styrofoam. It’s 2020 and the world is burning. Find a different packing material. What’s Good - It’s gorgeous. Probably the reason you’re looking at it. I’ve never had an AC unit that looked like an Apple product. - The U design does what it promises: it keeps the noisy part outside and the stylish part inside. - The included foam can be configured in a million ways; 100x better than the accordion flaps that come with any other window AC unit. If you spend some time playing with the foam and cutting it to fit your windows, it really does block out air & heat. - It blows cold air (duh). Two units effectively cool the main floor of our home (750ft). - The louver moves up and down to circulate said cold air. - The inverter spools the compressor up and down vs off/on which cuts down on noise & energy use. - The app works pretty well; one less remote lying around! - The design lets in a lot more light than normal units - and yes, you can open the window easily. - Tabs inside the U extend to keep people from opening your window; clever girl. - It’s quiet! Oh my god is it quiet!!!!! About as loud as the cylindrical tower fan you probably have in your home right now. Other Notes - The cord is on the right side of the unit when you’re looking at it from inside. Plan accordingly. - Upon first startup, both of our units rattled for 5-10 minutes. I thought I’d installed it incorrectly, but it went away as the machine warmed up. - Weight is distributed towards the rear of the unit so when you pick it up, it wants to fall away from you. Save your back; have a friend/partner help you. Vs Competition - LG has a handful of high end ($600+) window AC units that have inverters, smart features, and sharp design. They’re fantastic, but for the price & design innovation, the Mideas can’t be beat. Some of the LGs were also too large for our windows (we live in an old home). - Soleus makes a saddle AC unit which is basically the Midea upside down. This was really compelling because it lets in more light and installation would have been easier (there’s no bracket). However, it’s more expensive, has less BTUs, no inverter, no app/Alexa integration, and the industrial design is... severe. If I’m going to be staring at the thing it might as well look like it wasn’t manufactured in 1986. - GE/Frigidaire/Toshiba make great units that we considered, but all were noisier and did not include smart features or inverters. - Portable R2D2 style units are noisier, less efficient, and the exhaust hose gets warm *inside* your home. I’ve had two of these; never again. - Mini splits are a viable alternative, but in my area (Seattle) start at $3000+ for professional installation and $1200+ for DIY kits. And then I have a white box permanently hanging off my wall. - Heat pumps/central air will run $7000-15000 to remove the old furnace & air handler, update some of the ducting to lower profile ducts, install a concrete pad, install a new air handler, and install the heat pump itself. Gotta save up for something that major! Bottom Line This should probably be a 4 star review because the bracket installation was a royal pain and didn’t match the rest of the AC unit’s sleek appearance. But I’m letting it slide because for $800, we got two AC units that cool the entire floor, look great, let in more light than normal, can be controlled from our phones, and are whisper quiet. ... show more
