Midea 12,000 BTU Smart Inverter Air Conditioner Window Unit with Heat and Dehumidifier – Cools up to 550 Sq. Ft., Energy Star Rated, Quiet Operation, Electronic Controls, Remote Control, White

I bought this since I really liked the functionality of a previous Midea unit I bought for my shop, but didn't care for the u-shape style.This one is 8000 BTU, and also has the heating function. It is basically a heat pump in a regular square window unit form factor. I bought it to help cool the bedroom, and heat function was just a nice "bonus" that I didn't plan on using. I installed it early April, and the temps dropped the next day. I will say that the heat function works very well, and while the literature says 41 degrees F (5 degrees C) is the minimum outdoor operating temperature, it seemed to work down into the upper 30s (around 2 to 3 degrees C) on a couple nights.In the app, this model actually shows up as a "split unit" so you know it's a real heat pump.ProsCold when you want itWarm when you want it (within reason)Much quieter than the generic "on/off" style window unit it replaced (this one is inverter driven)Scheduling and long distance operation via Wi-Fi and the app is pretty easyIncluded remote works wellThey include locking screws and insulating tape for installation. The top groove and side blocking pieces are included, but you have to attach themConsIf you have sensitive hearing, you'll hear the high pitched whine from the inverter systemMy LED lights on the same circuit as the AC flicker in a slightly annoying wayIn auto heat/cool mode, the "dead zone" AKA "hysteresis" is a bit too small. The system will switch between heat and cool a lot if the temperature is close to targetUnit was a bit wider than the old AC, and I had to get creative with the side blocking pieces and insulating tapeAt certain frequencies, you may get some vibration in the wall/window from the AC. I get it a bit, but it's usually while it's speeding up so it only lasts a few seconds. The manual states this happens due to "weak walls." I live in a double wide, so maybe?I'm really being a bit picky, because overall I'm totally satisfied with this unit! I like that it only runs as hard as it needs to, and the 8000 BTU size is great for a medium bedroom and bathroom combo. I strongly recommend it so far.Overall power draw is typically between 200 and 400 watts while running, it does seem to use a bit more power in heat mode and gets close to 500 watts at times (according to a KILL A WATT meter)Stand by is under 2 watts

Five stars! It works! It cools and heats. Very quiet. Several times I thought it was off because of how quiet it was. Efficient. No damage. On time.The AC seems like it’s 5000 BTU but it does eventually cool like an 8000 BTU. The controls are an issue sometimes. I’ll turn it on, default ac auto and set the temp for 2 degrees below room temperature and it will blow air that’s not very cool and then cycle off. I always have to set the temperature farther down to get it to start cooling. The heat is also not easy to turn on. Again the thermostat on the remote has to be set much higher. The unit fan does not come on and it’s still a confusing process to get heat but it does work good. One time it was stuck flashing “AP”, a WiFi connection mode? I am not using the WiFi or phone app yet.The AP went away by itself in a few minutes.Installed it myself, from inside the window with no issues but it’s heavy. My electric usage is showing that this unit is very efficient with ac and heat. Also, the heat works great but you’ll need another heat source for very cold weather.

I needed an AC for a small (about 100sq ft) room with a small window -- about 21 inches. I really wanted something quiet, and I bought one of the quiet GEs, but I couldn't fit it in the window. This easily fit in the window and could probably fit into a 17 inch window. I'm just using one of the side panels.I bought this unit because it claimed to be quieter than a household refrigerator. Hah! That's just a bald faced lie. It is no quieter than an average 5000 BTU air conditioner. FWIW, I put the GE unit in a different location and it is quiet as a mouse. You get what you pay for.This is bare bones, no frills. No remote, no thermometer. I give it 4 stars because it works well and the price is fine. I've had it for a year. Even when the weather is 90 degrees and more, it cools the room on low cool. I took 1 star off because it's not as quiet as they claim.

Great product, very happy with the unit! Super quiet, cools a big area and will bring down my bill.Hope it’s lasts a long time 🤩 Easy install and love the remote …

Nice A/C easy Installation the Remote control is a little confusing for me, but nice and cool in my work area/den now.
