Frequently asked questions

The Midea 8,000 BTU U-Shaped Air Conditioner is deemed smart because it has the capability to connect to WiFi. This allows it to be controlled remotely through a mobile app and it is also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

The U-shaped design is not only unique but it includes many benefits. Predominantly, it allows users to open and close their window without affecting the air conditioner. This brings an increased level of convenience and flexibility that isn't typical in regular units.

The Midea Air Conditioner features an inverter, which is a device that controls the speed of the compressor motor to regulate the temperature continuously. This creates a 35% energy saving compared to traditional non-inverter units, thereby lowering electricity costs.

While the Midea 8,000 BTU U-Shaped Air Conditioner is recommended for spaces up to 350 Sq. Ft. for optimal performance, it can still effectively serve a slightly larger area. However, the cooling might take longer or not be as effective in areas a lot larger than the recommended size.

  • Quiet, cold, and relatively easy to install
Style: 8000 BTU
We bought the Midea 8000 BTU unit to replace a portable rolling unit we use in the kitchen/breakfast area during the hot Georgia summers. The biggest complaint about the portable unit was the noise which made conversation difficult. I'll start with the pros and cons and then describe our experience so far. Pros: - Much quieter than the portable unit we had. From about 4 feet away with the compressor on and the fan on high, it's about 65 dB. With the compressor off, and the fan on low, it's about 45 dB. I should have tested the sound level on the portable unit first, but I'd estimate that it's about 80 dB. - The Midea puts out some seriously cold air. My wife said "it's too cold", and turned the temperature up :-) It easily keeps our kitchen cold and would work in a much larger room. - The installation is relatively easy even for one person. I watched a Youtube video two times before starting, and it was straightforward. That said, I did take my time and start to finish including cleanup took me about 3 hours. Cons: - There are small gaps where the bracket attaches on the interior side of the window and also where the unit sits on top of the bracket. Not a big deal, but you have to take extra sealing foam strip and stuff it into the gaps to keep out bugs and a small amount of outdoor air. The gaps are maybe 1/4" at most, but you still want to seal those up. - The unit is small but it still takes up some window area. The saddle style does better in that regard but costs almost twice as much. - The unit might be heavy for some for solo installation. I'm a small but fit guy, and managed it fairly easily using a small table to set it on before sliding it into place. We received the Midea unit in 8 days and did not have any issues with the condition of unit or packaging. All good there. I started the installation at about 8:30 am when it was still cool. The window is 23" inches wide and has a wood frame and a storm window. That wood frame point is important because the installation is different than the vinyl frame installation I watched on Youtube. Vinyl windows have an interior lip that helps hold the bracket in place before the bracket has been screwed in. On a wood frame, there's nothing to hold the bracket from sliding out the open window because of the weight of the outside part of the bracket. In fairness, you can unscrew the interior portion of the bracket from the extern part, but the screws were under some insulating foam so I chose not to do that. I ended up taking a 4" piece of scrap 2x4 and wedging it between the storm window frame and the bracket. That kept it in place while I screwed in the bracket to the side of the window frame. The remainder of the bracket install was easy. I setup up the outside supports so it was slightly lower on the outside for proper drainage. The manual describes it as being 1/4 bubble on a level. Ours is probably slightly more than that with the weight of unit on the bracket. Be aware that storm windows can prevent the unit from leveling properly, specifically, sloped toward the interior which you don't want. We did not experience that issue, so we did not have to add a piece off wood on the interior to raise the height. I thought I was going to need help lifting the unit into position. The description says 55 lbs, but it didn't feel quite that heavy to me. I got a small wooden table that was almost the exact height of the window and put that directly next to the window. I put the unit on the table first which was the heavy lifting part. Once on the table, I could line it up with the window with having to hold the weight of the unit. I then carefully slid the unit into position on the bracket with the table bear most of the load until the unit was fully on the bracket. The brackets and the bottom of unit are a durable painted finish and slid easily once the unit was more a less in place on the bracket. What I thought was going to be the hard part was actually the easiest. The last part of he install was getting all the sealing faom in place. This actually probably took the longest and was simple but tedious. Midea recommends cutting the side foam blocks 1/4" over the measured length. I found that hard to fit into the gap and had to cut it back by 1/8". Also, the wood frame requires a second foam block below the main one, and that has to go around the bracket piece that's screwed into the side of the frame. To get that to work, I had to cut some partil vertical slits in the foam block to fit properly over the bracket. The anti-tip brackets have to slide over the side foam, and that was difficult because the foam was too tall despite being firmly seated on the bottom. I had to press the foam down with either my finger or a screw driver, move the bracket a little bit, then repeat the process several times until the anti-slip bracket was in place. Not a huge deal, but it wasn't as simple as just sliding the anti-slip bracket in place. Last, I looked all around the mounting of the unit and sealed up any tiny gaps with some foam stripping I had around. There were pretty small gaps, but if you have a lot insects like we do here in Georgia, you'll want to seal those up. The whole install took me about 3 hours including cleanup. I wasn't in a hurry, and I took my time to make sure I did everything correctly. I looked at the instructions some, but mostly worked from memory from the Youtube video. As with almost every project there are little idiosyncracies that you have to handle. For example, I bet it took me about 10 minutes just to get the storm window screen out. That was annoying. Having another person might have shortened the install time as well. Overall, I'd say the install was pretty easy after figuring out how to hold the bracket in place to put the initial screws in place. Having two people would have really helped with that part. The unit is definitely quiet and puts out significant cold air. My wife said it was "too cold" and turned the temp up from 70 to 73. It got up to 92 today, and the unit has been cycling on and off (mostly off) while keeping the kitchen nice and cool. The remote has a decent sized display and does what you expect it to. We also connected the unit to the Midea Air app, and again, it does what you expect it to. The app also shows the local weather which is a nice feature. All in all, the Midea is a huge improvement over the portable unit it replaced. It keeps the kitchen cool and does it quietly. It's also a good value based on comparisons we did with other brands and styles. We would definitely buy this a/c again and would recommend it to others with similar applcations. ... show more

  • The Quietest AC I've Ever Owned! (Despite Minor Issues)
Style: 8000 BTU
I've been looking for a super quiet AC for at least 2 years, but seeing units that touted silence starting at $500 discouraged me from a purchase. Then comes along the Midea U-Shaped AC. Starting at $339, with the highest energy-efficiency rating of 2020 as well as claims of 42 db of noise at the lowest setting, I was enticed to go out on a limb and try it. While it did take a little over a month for me to get the unit, I think the wait was well worth it. Right out of the box I was pleased by the appearance and unique design of the unit and was eager to get it installed. Living in an older home in NYC, I was worried things would go awry with installation, however, the adjustable support bracket was able to fit in my window securely after a couple minutes of adjustments. Fitting the foam into the sides of the unit was tricky as I didn't have a sharp blade with me and I couldn't make clean cuts, but that aside, the install was reasonable. As soon as I turned this thing on, I was shocked at how quiet it really was. The highest setting was as quiet if not quieter than my standing fan, and it cooled my 13×15 bedroom within minutes despite the sweltering NYC heat. Not only that, but since my home is older, the electricity usually has trouble in the summer if multiple AC units are running, and the power goes out. Ever since switching over to this unit, my power hasn't went out even when all the other AC's in my home are on! The air conditioner has a useful app to control settings over Wifi as well as Alexa voice control, however there are a few minor bugs that could probably be fixed with an update in the future. After having this for a month, I am very satisfied, but I do notice more bugs getting in. That is likely due to me not covering all the openings around the unit well enough. The bracket is designed in such a way that there are two gaps that stay open to the outside after installation, but I stuffed them with the many different varieties of foams that are included to seal openings around the unit and it has helped. Also, while I do think the ability to have free use of the window is nice, I really can't use it as the gap in the unit is not big enough to accomodate the window and my window screen. Additionally, the app notifies you when the filter needs cleaning, and while cleaning it for the first time, the grill that covers the AC got slightly cracked at the part where it clicks into the unit (picture included). I have contacted Midea customer support for a replacement grill but they informed me that they do not stock that part and my only options would be to have the entire unit replaced or recieve a full refund. While I do appreciate the good customer service, I was slightly annoyed that I could not recieve a replacement part that is bound to break over time, with mine breaking in the first month. Additionally, nothing else is wrong with the AC and I feel it would be wasteful to replace the whole thing over what should be a replaceable part. I will most likely just crazy glue the piece back together. Despite the minor issues, the main concern of mine was having a quiet unit for a reasonable price, and this AC delivered! It's literally the quietest window AC I have ever come across in my entire life! I couldn't justify taking a whole star off the review as my issues are very minor to me and customer service was helpful, but if I could award it partial stars, I would rate it 4.75/5. Now only time will tell how it holds up over a few years. If I encounter any other significant issues I'll be sure to update this review. I still would recommend this to a friend and I will probably purchase another one down the line for other rooms in my house. ... show more
