Danby 8000 BTU U-Shaped Window AC (identical to Midea) - $299.99
$299.99
This Danby unit is almost identical to the very popular Midea U-Shape unit and is much cheaper. The only difference is the cosmetic grille on the front, they are functionally identical.

I have the Midea 8000. It's the best. Never buying a "regular" loud AF window AC again.

Disagree. The price of these units will stay high as the summer is here. Won't see a deal like that until it gets cold again. Also it's not a knockoff, it's the same machine with a different brand on it.

Both the Danby and Midea apps work for each other they actually use the same login too, so if you sign up to Midea you can log into Danby and vice-versa. The Danby has a 2yr warranty and the Midea has 1yr.
Both are good and cool exactly the same as far as I can tell - extremely quiet on low and high is still quieter than a traditional non inverter window unit on low.
There is also a deal for a Costco Membership costing basically $20 as you pay $60, but get a $40 gift card.

You can trick it into thinking it's 100+ degrees in the room (I strapped an old USB thumb drive to the temp sensor and plug it in with extension if I want to cool the room down quicker) and that will get the compressor running at full power then the differences are more noticeable.
Currently In-store (shipping is out of stock).

That isn't the u shaped version which is quite a bit quieter. The 12k u shape was on sale for $299 at HD a while back.

I got the idea here but didn't want to risk voiding the warranty - I verified the difference with a watt meter as well:

I missed the HD $299 sale you're referring to and the Sam's Club product (although not U-shaped) uses the same inverter technology....and with similar electric usage savings.
You are correct about the quietness.
Thanks for correcting me 😁
