Good job. I just installed one with the help of my son to lift it into place. Our window is a bit high off the floor. I hope it gives you many years of reliable use.

Nice job. You remind me of my mom, who installed ceiling fans in her house on her own in her early 70s.

Wow for the price of 2 conditioners you could get a whole home air conditioner

@@brokearcader6625 if your home allowed that. I live in a 1800's apartment, I cant put in a ductless, or a central forced air unit.

It took me like 3 hours by myself, instructions and videos are not very clear. The house I rent was also built in 1920 so windows are weird.

Should have left the wife part out. 😂😂😂😂

@@brokearcader6625 Where are you getting central AC for $800?

That's great to hear Steve! On average, most Window Air Conditioners are around 40 pounds in weight, whilst the Midea U-Shaped A/C is weighted in at around 67 pounds, significantly more difficult to install. The bracket included though, makes it much easier as you can rest it on the bracket. Also - my Unit was one of the earlier versions that included much less foam, newer shipments have included more foam more recently according to my sources.

You may have installed it yourself, but there is no 8000 btu window unit heavier. So sorry, but you are wrong.

@@DavidMosby Mine is a 12000 btu, much lighter

I installed the 12k myself as well.... The size was more of a pain than the weight..... It hasn't fallen out yet, so.... So far so good.

@@MattsWorld The specs for the 8000 btu unit itself is 55.55 lbs. The SHIPPING weight is 68 lbs, that includes the box and all the packing in it. Yes, this one is a little heavier than my old AC unit, but I still managed to install is by myself, 5'4" 56 year old woman, LOL. It's not that heavy

Yes. I wish they could figure out a good way to design it so there’s not as many gaps to patch. But nonetheless it’s great!

Use a sanding sponge to pretty it up.

It now comes with nice white foam strips that cover and seal all the areas you mention.

Yeah, this is by far one of Midea’s greatest products and innovation!

$299 for the 12,000 BTU at Sam's Club and Costco

Yes! For sure, Art. Thank you for your comment, they had updated their packaging to include more foam.

I use canned spray foam insulation on any window unit.

That’s what i did! It’s perfect!

Thanks for sharing

Thank you for the tips Peter! I've looked into it, they indeed updated the A/C packaging to include a lot more foam.

Whats the dimension sir?

@@MattsWorld I bought my 2nd one installed it myself in under an hour. If you can't lift 60 lbs and set this thing onto that solid bracket, you need to work out with some light weights first. I mean cmon man. As to the foam it is so easy to install you gotta be kidding. The sticky thin foam seals the gaps very well, the thick stuff can be cut with a kitchen knife.

Thank you for the comment! I agree.

Yes! It’s worth every penny. I’m keeping in mind how it’s still a “concept” product, and I’m sure in the future there will be better versions of this unit and fix most of the issues.

Did you need tape also to close off any gaps from air or insect ?

@@jaydenrussell7491 what it came with worked quite well it’s materials used for my application.

hey how are you still liking the AC? did you have any problems with it?

@@a33m3a zero issue at all and truly couldn’t possibly recommend it enough.

Midea mini-splits ?

​@@adminguy1711 Pioneer Mini split. I bought this Midea window unit after watching this video, but returned it after 1 night. I think it is a good option for some, but I found a pioneer mini split for $600 at home depot on a July 4th sale. The mini split is also a heat pump in the winter. The first night of the Midea something happened to the outside fan. Not sure if a lizard got caught in the fan or if it was condensate that was hitting the fan. Since I got it on Amazon, I just returned it. If you get a Midea, get it local at Home Depot incase you need to return it. the inside fan was decently quiet and I didn't hear the outside compressor when it was cooling. Pretty nice unit.

Yeah, the gaps seem to be an issue with how the foam was cut. Measure it, and leave a bit extra, as it will compressed to fit tightly.

Likewise. Did not feel like this was "extremely difficult". If anything it was incredibly easy compared to most window units, as it came with a supporting bracket in the box. All I had to do was slide it into place. Regular window units would necessitate two people and/or some very delicate balancing, or purchasing an aftermarket window brace at an additional cost.

Same here, it was very easy to install. I bought some rubber and foam weather strips from home depot ahead of time to make sure I can get a good seal. Super quite at night especially when the sleep curve mode is on. No leaking, and no bug issues here. Made sure it was tilted towards the back using a level for the water to drain properly.

I had not issues installing this unit on my own. Not sure what a second person would do on a second story house. Maybe manage the first person. I guess if you are not handy then a second a person might be of value. Sounds like this is the case with the reviewer of this channel.

Where are you located? I went to two Costcos and they did not have them :(

I saw a Midea window AC similar in a NY costco, however it wasnt this U shape model, it was a regular window AC from the Midea brand.

That's the problem with Costco, they're usually hot or miss. I went to 3 Costcos 2 weeks after getting my first one, looking for another one, and no such luck.

Yes, that's if rain water or some type of substance has entered the unit. Perfectly normal!

I answered your question in a Q&A Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNmja82HuczcZmg.html

Yeah, it’s an amazing unit.

I personally like the white noise an ac makes

From seeing many reviews the bracket hangs much further out than necessary. I've read that you can shorten it, but you would need to be comfortable with having atbit with a hack saw or equivalent as it isn't designed to be shortened. I read the bracket is for multiple size units and assume any less than the 12 btu unit will have extra hang. Look on Amazon reviews and you'll see pics with thr extra rail hanging out.

@@GarthsWorld thanks Garth, I'm lucky that the unit will be on a low window sill on a patio. I will probably build a wooden box up from the patio floor to support the window. Otherwise I will hacksaw it down as you mentioned

Manufacturers are never able to guarantee a life expectancy of any product usually. It depends on how often it’s running, how you’re taking care of it, etc. as long as you take good care of the unit and it’s components you should get a long life out of it. I’m going on 2 years with it now.

....nobody rates duty cycles of household appliances...?

@@Bluecrabsandsushihi. Some printers do give duty-cycle information. Actually, I think most of us really want to know the life expectancy of the things we buy, and of course that depends on the actual amount to time we are operating or utilizing the item. For A/C units, in particular, this is very useful information.

I answered your question in a Q&A Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNmja82HuczcZmg.html

It is way less noisy than a traditional window ac setup.

Super quiet! Super efficient!

For me it’s super quiet but doesn’t cool down to the exact temperture

I answered your question in a Q&A Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNmja82HuczcZmg.html

It is the same process

I answered your question in a Q&A Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNmja82HuczcZmg.html

I found that I needed to point it down at display from at little above horizontal. At first, I thought the batteries were flat but when I got the angle right, I realised the it was operator error.

@@ianmccluskey2293 I still have the AC. Still love it. I've since tested it on the Kill A Watt meter. It's unbelievably efficient. 365 watts when the compressor is on. (12,000 BTU 120v unit) I've since purchased two more one in my wife's office and one in mine. As for the remote, it's not that I can't get it to interact with the AC, it's that the functions don't seem to work. I use the app on my phone to control it, instead. But I am using the remote on the other side of the room sitting on my bedside table because it also acts as a remote temp sensor, so in that regard it's very nice. The remote functions themselves are either overly complicated or non-functioning. The app works better for me. I haven't tried the remotes on the new units since the app lets us control all three.

The remote is absolute garbage. It's erratic , but the worst part is it's underpowered in hot and humid weather 😡

Right now I'm in Pennsylvania and it runs really well for me in our climate here.

Mine is in RV in Missouri and dehumidifier and cools wonderful. I did have to pitch it at a greater angle towards the outside ground than what the book said to drain properly. There was an issue with many of these being damaged internally from the home delivery. I was surprised my unit did not from the way it looked when Amazon delivered it. Then after the hoops I had to engineer to install in bedroom slide out window, I definitely had my fingers crossed that it would work properly. So far I love it. It gets humid here with the heat too, maybe not as much as Alabama but very high.

@@johnr8986 what I have noticed is that depending on your mode and fan setting the fan runs more or less all the time.. This seems to be the problem.. It keeps running and blows the humidity that's on the evaporator back into the space.. And since my space is small it seems to increase humidity very quickly inside.. Worth mentioning is that I drilled a hole in the pan of mine to try to reduce humidity but also to be able to drain the condensate when driving.. I had a feeling it would have slim to no effect on the humidity level inside.. And that seems to be the case.. I had talked to my AC tech I use for commercial stuff. He said most mini split type units have an inherent problem when used in out climate.. The evaporator and blower wheel never dries out and therefor he sees a lot of mold problems with these units.. They need regular servicing and cleaning of the blower wheel and condenser.. I guess he was right after all. So now I need to get a good dehumidifier.. Seems I also will need to increase my battery bank and solar to be able to keep up.. Thanks for your replies and for making these videos.

yes it can be installed without screws, when properly installed you can easily open and close the window if needed, installation is easy, I just did it in 15 minutes by myself with a bad knee, here is the link for instalation kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZ2gq6eclrSsh3U.html

I answered your question in a Q&A Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNmja82HuczcZmg.html

One of the main benefits of the design is that you can still open your window with the unit installed. So no, you don't screw it to the window itself.

@@woohunter1 15 what???

SEER rating

12 dollars a week

Suppose to be better than most window ACs in terms of electricity cost

Worst problem is it's terribly underpowered! 🤨

Sounds like you are worried about losing money from these lol

no but it heats the outdoors I bet you could conceivably just put it in backward or make an outside room into a sauna where it blows hot air

I answered your question in a Q&A Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNmja82HuczcZmg.html

I haven't installed it with the window closed down yet. I only plugged it and tried it when I received it earlier and notice the loud high pitched noise! I thought it was defective

@@Ptremp was it defective??? Or that's just the way these all are??? I'm so disappointed I don't want to believe this is how these units are. The concept was so good, and for some reason most people don't report this issue

When you make any air colder it holds less water. That means LESS humidity. ALL AC units are dehumidifiers lol
