Style: 12000 BTU
Truly a remarkable window AC unit. Goes beyond our expectations in terms of cooling ability. We have a 1400 sq foot home. We mounted the unit in our kitchen window and use it primarily to cool the kitchen/livingroom area which is about 700 sq ft, closing off other rooms in the house. It keeps these areas crispy cold. We had intended to buy a second unit to use in another part of the house, but even on a very hot day (it gets into the high 90's here), we can open up some of the other rooms if we are going to be in them, and once the primary area is cooled down, this little unit keeps the temp in the auxiliary rooms very comfortable. We use ceiling fans and table fans to draw the cool air into the other rooms. We don't see a need for a second unit as long as we are careful about how often we open up additional parts of the house. My only commentary is about the sales pitch they give this thing concerning the noise level. Yes, it is very quiet, but the notion that it is barely audible is just silly. The fan makes a noise, as one would expect. And you can hear the compressor, just slightly, even through the closed window. But compared to other units we have used it is spendidly quiet! The install was relatively easy, too. Looks good, works wonderfully, consumes less power by about a third compared to the unit we replaced. Time will tell how well it holds up. Hopefully we will get years of quality service out of it. It's important to note that there is a lot of condensation off the unit because of the humidity outside. My only complaint about this AC is that the water that runs off isn't directed anywhere and just drips off the bottom of the unit and runs down the support bracket and onto the wall, even though we have it tilted toward the outside. I rigged up an aluminum diversion panel underneath to channel the water away from the wall and into a bucket. It generates about a gallon or more of water over the course of seven or eight hours. So be aware of any downstairs neighbors, etc. If there were a pan and a drain hose to properly control and direct the water this would be the absolute perfect AC. And by the way, no one paid me to write this review. This is my honest opinion. ... show more

  • It delivers on noise and installation isn't as hard as I feared
Style: 12000 BTU
So, I hate summer. Some people get SAD in winter, I get it in summer. I just hate being hot. But I also hate how loud my 12,000 BTU unit was. I had to choose between watching a movie or having it on. No fun. I bought this after reading a review in the newspaper. I then researched other of these new saddle-style units plus some traditional units that are supposed to be quiet. I settled on this one mainly because I could get 12,000 BTUs and the others tapped out at 8100. Set up is about as difficult as putting together IKEA furniture. I did it in about 20 minutes. The process is pretty logical. I do recommend watching the video provided by the company and maybe googling some other install videos by other users. I watched a couple before beginning and I think that helped. I do recommend that you own a level for this project. The instructions say you should and I agree that it really isn't optional for this project. I was able to install it on my own, and I am a weakling, so single people can do this. However, I probably would have preferred to have a helper just to lift the unit into the window. It is quiet. I am so happy with the noise level. I tried watching a nature documentary on a lowish volume and could still hear David Attenborough's sublime narration. This is the feature I was most interested in and it delivers. It is also more attractive than your standard window a/c, which is a bonus. The company waxes poetic about being able to open the window with the unit in. I have to say that while that is doable, it probably isn't as practical as they make it out to be, namely because the screen (at least on my window) has to be up so opening the window would let in bugs. It is lower profile and narrower than my other unit, so I do get more window and light, which is nice. My only worry is the reviews on here that discuss condensation pooling and causing mold. I have only had this a day, so I will update this after using it a bit. Reading through reviews and talking with my spouse, any A/C can suffer from that problem, so it might not be a midea problem, but time will tell. As far as noise and efficiency, I am very, very happy. Hopefully this coming summer will be less depressing. I will still try to find a job in Maine. Or Alaska. Or maybe Norway. I am not built for swampy summers. Edit after using this all last summer: I still love it and bought a second unit. I will note that the second unit arrived and stopped working soon after -- something probably got cracked in transport so I don't think it was Midea's fault. I put in a claim and got refunded the cost, which I appreciated it. I replaced that second unit and now have two of these beauties in my apartment. I did not have the condensation problem people mention in other reviews. I am no expert, but I think that issue might be due to installing it in such a way as the unit can't drain properly. I was very careful to get the angle just right and used a level (you really do need to own a proper level for installation -- buy one with your order if you don't already have one). But after a summer of running this living in a hot and humid location, this was worth every penny. It cools very well and efficiently. It almost feels like I have central a/c. It is also very quiet. Even on high, I can hear myself think. I recommend this A/C to everyone I can. ... show more
