I have TWO and LOVE THEM! It's a complete COLD AIR CONDITIONER. Works great in humid, HOT southern Louisiana. The best part is that it's SAFETY FEATURE of having your window "nearly" shut so an intruder cannot easily get in by shoving it forward (like a larger traditional window unit) and invading your home.

[philcook]

It is not rain water, it is condensation from the air being cooled.

[Toglimmer]

I have a porch outside my window. Is there a way to drain the water with a tube so it won't puddle on my porch?

[nimrodpaul]

Costco has the 12k u shape for 399 today, just bought it

[angelatownes]

My unit comes on for a while and turns off every 2 /3 minutes and gives a p4 error, what can I do to fix this?

[unholy]

Does it have vent option so I could have some air exchange??

[butchthurman]

How do you get these to cycle. It is now cooling past temperature set?

[Noelshepherd]

Will the boost function prematurely overwork and damage the unit?

[pmaint]

I slanted my unit almost a full bubble and it holds water. I can't seem to find a drain hole. I know its supposed to hold some water for cooling but where does the excess water go?

[foxtrot]

My window is only 13 inches high. Specs says it needs 13.75”, would it be an issue? Is it a hard number to follow? I would assume it’s because it’s that high so it just slides in. While a smaller window opening would require me to tilt I a little bit to fit into the opening since the window closes anyways.

[mrcrowleyoz]

Can you hear the outside noise through this AC when it’s off?

[robertpray]

I have three units, all 8000 BTU. Great systems. One small catch, mine are all to spec with a slight slant down, but it appears the reservoir will produce condensate on the outer case. This may end up in your window sill if you have older wider sills. I found some scrap plastic panels placed inward of the condensate at a tilt down out solved the issue, carrying any water away from the house window sill. I've seen some post where people have drilled holes in the condensate pan to drain the water out, but the condensate collected inside is actually used to help the system cool so maybe a bad idea to add drains. So far, systems are working great/ Will need simple management to keep the condensate try from gumming up though.

Can you tell us the actual power consumption? We need real watts. Thanks

[libra]

Can it be installed sideway for a horizontal sliding window?

[shaunedwards]

I've had my 2 years. Now it dont blow very hard. Tried cleaning the coils. Started out good. Now there is no help on these things.

[TheUpstina]

can you use this in an old house wooden window?

[pattimichellesheaffer]

Why is there so much water build-up in the back (outside) part of the unit? The fan back there throws water all over the place. I have the unit tilted back, but there's still enough water for the tips of the outside fan to be flinging water around.

[juliebanks]

Hi Matt, I have noticed mine not blowing as well and started cleaning it a bit. I looked inside at the fan wheel and it is all gunked up. We know how to clean a split but how in the world do you clean a Midea? It must be difficult and why does this only happen to me?

[lilia]

Midea didn't think at all about how to clean it. Yes, it works quietly, we bought it in May 2024, and we have been suffering from a mold smell for a month now. Midea didn't think about maintenance, it's impossible to reach contaminated areas and it's impossible to pull it out of the case like a regular AC. Customer service did not help at all.
