Hey everyone! Thanks for the comments! I just want to mention that I no longer use this unit and I have upgraded to the Mr Cool DIY Mini Split. I made a video showing how I have that system setup.

It also helps with security. I always thought it was crazy with my old AC unit someone could just shove it in and get access. As long as you use a brace to keep the window from opening further, this is much more safe than a regular window unit.

Thanks for you review,... I bought an 8000 btu one at Home Depot ... Love it. So quiet! I hooked my Watt-Meter to it and it only uses about 300 watts at near full tilt. When it auto lowers to maintain temp, it is around 130 watts... that's like nothing!! Excellent.

I just got a 12,000 unit put in my living room a few days ago... I LOVE it! It is so quiet that I had to mute my computer to see if it was running (it was). It cools quickly and seems to cool all the way into the kitchen where I have a smaller, regular window A/C. That one hasn't run much at all since I have it a degree warmer than the Midea, and it is cooling all the way in there so it is definitely saving me some $$$!

Thanks for this! I just ordered this unit yesterday and these reviews make me excited. I live next to a highway and wanted an AC unit that cancelled as much outside noise as possible. Looks well worth it.

Another vote for this fantastic a.c. unit! I bought the 8,000 BTU a year ago for my bedroom and it is everything I could want in an a.c. unit - very quiet and very effective. I had been considering a mini split, but when I discovered the Midea, I realized it is a mini split, but in one package! I highly recommend this a.c. unit!

Glad I found your video. I bought this unit about a month ago, mostly for backup in case I lose power during a hurricane. I may start using it more since it seems to cool before than I expected. Thanks.

Thank you Grabiel, what a beautiful house! I just bought one from Costco. Now time to clean that window.

I got this same one yesterday. My house is about 1300 square ft. It's amazing. 90 deg today. I have it set to 70 and it stayed at 70. I had to turn it up some cuz I got chilly. Love this!

Our windows have old wooden windows have storm windows, too. We'll be doing the same set up -- thanks for your review, helped us make our decision!

I appreciate you demonstrating that the swinging cover can be deactivated. As a result, I am considering purchasing this window air conditioner for my next installation.

Have an 8,000 btu unit in my bedroom, best air conditioner I ever had. Quiet and effective.

Amazing looking house! Love the thing for your cat! Thank You! Definitely want to try it out now!

best review i've seen. thanks for detailing the bracket assembly placement and also for the real world btu capability.

I believe the open floor plan of your home is probably helping the unit cool the entire first floor. I feel mine could do that but my house is so partitioned off the living room where its installed gets the best of it. I have a second option but i dont really want to move it lol

Once you did the walkthrough, I was sold. That little thing covers a lot of space.

You have the exact same old windows as I have. This was immensely helpful.

Great video, I'm ordering mine from Amazon for $499.00, and your video sealed the deal for me!

When you said at 6:45 that you weren’t sure how hot it was in your house before u turned it on… in fact, you can know!! :) the phone app tells u the temperature of the room it’s in! I looove this unit

Going to order it next week you getting me excited

Got one 2 years ago and love it.

Just ordered one. Hope I’m as psyched as you are . Thanks for the vid!

Gabriel, I just bought this air conditioner. Midea has a link in the user manual for a very good KZfaq video installing this air conditioner.

I will say this if you have a window that’s 22 inches which is the minimum sized window you can install these in. It’s going to be a really tight fit. Getting the bracket installed was a bit of a hassle but doable. I had a vinyl raised lip window and again the unit will be a tight squeeze through the window. Issues I had was getting the bracket brace attachment on you’ll need a stubby screwdriver to get the screws off and back on. The tip over bar was difficult to get screwed down I feel they need to add additional tie downs. Also be extremely careful and wear gloves you can easily slice a finger open on the condenser fins as well as bend them.

I just bought the same unit for my double car garage and it cools it down pretty fast.

It would feel even colder if you drew the curtains and kept the sun out. Just got this same one. 13 foot ceilings and it's doing a good job. Took about an hour to cool it down, bout 45 mins to install. Great so far !

It's actually just a split system that fits in your window .... Super smart

I actually like your review. I'm buying one now. Good day to you man

Got one a month ago. So quiet and efficient. Only thing bad is my remote only turns unit off and on. Many Amazon reviewers said same. Not an issue for me. Hooked it into Alexa and sets temp changes for day and night.

I bought the same one after watching your review and decided to put it in the living room. It is cooling my 1st floor too, about 1000 sq feet. My only complaint is the plastic housing makes a vibrating noise. Have you experienced this too?

i just got a dinky comfort zone 5000 BTU, it does great for my 10 sq/ft appt. but when i do move, no matter how big or small my place is, im getting the 12k U shaped unit, for ease of install, that, and because summers where i live get upwards of 100 degrees as soon as dawn cracks, no central air or anything else means i need my place to feel like jack frost lives there. and oh how it will! great review btw!

I have 2- 8000 btu of these units, so we could run it with solar batteries if we want. Great unit!!

I have been looking at these, with having to install at least 3 window A/C units each year. Either these or the saddle type that sit down below the window frame.

A good review, i do ask though, everyone talks about how quiet these units are, on "LOW FAN" but what about when you have the unit on full Blast? The variable speed compressor will be at full speed when it's set to 60. It would be cool to hear what this thing sounds like at full Tilt

I just bought this unit from Costco. They marked them down to $310 and my local entergy company was giving $50 rebates for buying an approved energy star window unit

Excellent review. If you were closer I'd buy your window. I wouldn't replace them: they are original.

My outside ledge was too far out for the legs to drop down against the building. The man who helped me jeery rigged a piece of wood across the belly of the condenser. He followed the recommended bubble location for drainage. But i wondered if it should be more than 1/8 inch incline? Why? Because i see so many video comments saying the unit did not drain well. One man opted to drill a hole out under the condenser. -- maybe it should be more than 1/8th. -- day before without it in the window, i propped inside portion to simulate the incline. I ran it for an hour. No drip until i lifted the unit up. -- watching the Danby unit install (almost twin) i find it is better than the official Midea’s. Both of them could do a better manual. I know the bracket seems complicated, but really if we do the steps as recommended it is easy to do. I’m going to do a step by step so I can easily remove and put it back into window. Make

I just put in a couple of them in my place - 120y/o house in Chicago. While we haven't had any 'real' summer weather here yet, it has been pretty humid lately, and this old house (TM PBS) needs more/better insulation, etc. As a long time midwesterner, I can tell you it IS the humidity (actually, it's the wet-bulb temp. but damned if imma try ta 'splain that). Anyway, I'm pretty impressed with this so far. I'm researching mini-split systems as I have forced air and by Feb. every year I'm ready to bash my skull in from the sound. Sorry, different topic.

We just bought this for a 3rd floor rental. One big inquiry is an attractive disguise for the end that sticks out of a window. I've searched & searched. I've noticed others searching for the same.

Awesome video the best so far you should do another video Ac after 1 year

I really want to pull the trigger on one of these just for the reduced noise factor alone

Bro, i like to keep my living room around 65,66.. I’m a little nervous with the 74 review. But very intrigued. 👍

Excellent video review thanks, can you please tell me the measurements? I have small windows on my camper

The gap is the same issue with vinyl windows, just bought the 8000 btu and used it one time so far, cooled down the room within minutes.

Question is do they last just as long as the regular style. I love it though

I’m so glad I found this video. You have the same type of windows I do with the outer storm windows. Did you do anything differently with the installation? Also do you have any issues with water pooling up inside the window sill when it rains?

Michigan gets cold right.... did u leave the unit in the window over the winter?

I wish you would have walked outside and showed us the unit from outside. Do you have to support the condenser part from the ground with it hanging so far from the house?

What about the vent on the outside of the ac? Bugs or rain can get in it over the summer? Do you cover it up with a screen?

I have a 8,000 BTU unit had a year-and-a-half and got a cool 7

Thanks so much for this review. Have an estimate on your square footage on this floor? Does it seem to come the closets, cabinets, and other closed off spaces? Looking to hit a 1,000 SF apartment with this.

Do you have vinyl siding wondering if it will crack the siding ?

Hi, Very grateful for you. Do you know if I can use this with a horizontal sliding windows?

Love your Black cat, we own 3 of them.😁

Need advice before buying online. Could I install it in an 20 inch window (door) frame? They say 22-36" But seems like the AC is less then 20" large. So I wonder if it would be possible. Thx for your help!

Can I put this on a second floor apartment or do I need to be outside as well when installing? Seems like the stand may be iffy unless you go outside and mess around with it.

What I've noticed about the room air conditioners is they don't make them like they used to. Before you could take the top off and clean the grids and do a thorough cleaning on the air conditioner. Now you can't get to anything to clean it

2024 almost a year. I'm 3rd room away. Real cool at AC, comfortable back here: cannot eve hear it running. I'll need to tip it more. One fellow off-grid diy tilted his more than the 1/8 or 1/4 inch then drilled small holes in the unit's most forward corners outside. That solved the drainage. -- I keep my inside filter clean. But noticed debris from birds nesting in the nearby internet installer boxes. Nice to hear their little tweets. Maybe can use a square of door screening to prevent that coming across my unit.

Did you mount the outside bracket or stand ?

How does this serve as a cat-perch? because mine will try it out immediately, it looks sturdy enough.

Thanks so much for the information

I would like to know the power bill. My AC unit went out a few days ago and I have been thinking about getting one of these.

Hello, i am looking into this unit but live on the second floor with someone else underneath... Does this happen drip water like a mini split outside??? Thank you

Proud Dad, new baby Chinese stuff. Enjoy, make memories.

Nice review man

What’s your electric bill like

If they would make this a heat pump it would be amazing . Cool only is nice but not sufficient.

Do you think I can use it for a sliding window? 🤷‍♀️

I bought 5 units, 8000 btu from home depot for $1890. Much better than replacing central for $8000

The only time my central AC can get the temps down to 70 degrees is in the winter, my 3 1/2 ton unit single story 1300 sq ft can only get it down to 75 if it is over 105 degrees outside.

cool, like it, well designed😀

I have a window which slides to the side. And another thing is - half of the window is only 21 inches. Does this fit in that space? I am looking to buy this unit

Did the 12k btu come with a outside bracket?

Costco has them in warehouse for $319 until 6/18/23!

Hey believe it or not as you're talking about the air conditioner I'm feeling cool already I live in Brooklyn it's very very warm I didn't hook up my air conditioner but I'm thinking of getting one of those thanks for the video enjoy looking at your house you got a great looking place enjoy the summer and what the hell Great great great air conditioner take care great video too😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Nice house!

Thank you Sir

Did you install it by yourself? DIY ? 😛

I just bought this ac, 12000 btu, and you seem to have the same window as me, but I don't see how I can install it so that the ac is on the bracket properly (all the way to the back). I don't want to have to return it. Do you have any tips?

Why do you have a fan next to the unit?

Hard to believe it took this long to come up with this design.

Great, now if they will make one for slider windows.

I have a well insulated attached garage in central US (Iowa). Sq Ft is about 864 with 9ft ceilings. Do you think one of these would be ok during the hotter summer days July-Aug? Sounds like it cools your larger than box says...thanks

what's the measurement of the outside condenser?

Great video! Curiuos. Where did you get the cat perches? Thank you!

Do you know if you can separate the two pieces for install purposes on a smaller window

I installed the 12000 btu, and I'm not impressed by its cooling. The unit I removed was so old that it has R22 freon, and it cooled the space better even if it has a much lower capacity

Can you link to the suction cup cat perches? I'm terrified of buying one and having the suction cup fall off while one of my cats is laying on it!

Nice House

Why does my window AC sound like running water ? Midea tech mounted the unit !

Just installed this 12K BTU unit earlier today. Not impressed with cooling so far. I'm using "Auto" mode, also in "ECO". I have the A/C set at 61*, but temp gun shows 74* actual temp in the room, and it's a cloudy day, only 78* outside. Very disappointed at cooling so far. Thanks for any suggestions.................

Can I install this on a vertical window?

Cool 👍

How come my filter won’t go back in? I feel stupid but it’s not working for me and I have this aircoditione

That cat was probably saying "I hope my dad gets off soon and cranks this AC up I'm roasting in here" haha

Wish the inside part didn't stick out so much, would be a problem where I need an a/c.

could you show to us your second floor please, now is Sunday and you have time

Screw that id turn it down to 40 let it be the Antarctica in my house lol

What kind of support did you use for the unit outside?

Due to the fact that you could practically close your window all the way there’s really no need to have to take it out for winter every year which is something I wouldn’t do doesn’t hurt to keep it in the window
