Looks like the window Air conditioner unit will be on the next coupon book. I may buy one now and just ask for a price adjustment unless anyone has had trouble in the past asking for a refund?

You open the window and close it on the AC unit. It also has a platform it rests on

I drilled no holes and the thing can't go anywhere. It's easier than any other AC I've used and I have zero fears of dropping it out the window

Honestly confused why anyone thinks this is difficult to install especially compared to conventional styles. And especially considering how much smaller and lighter this type is
When are they coming out with a U-shaped AC with heat pump?
opposite experience. ours cooled better than anything we had prior. and we left it installed for 2 winters now. living in the northeast.. the u shape version makes that possible.

not sure what would make it a pain to uninstall though. the install for us was 10x easier than a traditional ac since it has a built in stand.

Has anyone split one of the U-shaped Mideas in half to place the condenser beneath a bus? All of the R32 would have to be replaced, but I don't know how difficult it would be?

The non U shaped Midea with the same inverter technology as this one has a heat pump BUT only produces heat if the outside temp is 41f or higher. So that won't help much in many parts of the country come winter.

Not trying to save the planet. Trying to cool my house. I've had this unit 3 years and it's great.
Not bad. Come back in 10 years and let us know!

We've had one since they've been out. 100% recommend. It's in our attic/extra bedroom space and it cools great, even in this older home.

Fyi. My local warehouse in LA area does not honor the discount. The online pricing is still $379. How can I get one at the discounted price?

These are weak. Even though its 12k btu, it trails behind other window ac in cold output. Great for small rooms. But that's why they are eco friendly.
agree. Just recently installed 10k unit into 500sq room with 450sq ft on the box claim, barely cools the area slash the square footage in half it would be more accurate. So 225 sq ft is more accurate for 10k unit and 275 sq ft for 12k.

This may be a silly question, but what do you do if your windows horizontally? You can't use this, right?

Without reading the owners manual I am 95% certain that the orientation needs to be as recommended because of how the fluid works… similar to how your fridge needs to be upright as well.
I have a side opening window that I remove the hinges and install a simple box/window replacement that I install in its place seasonally. A little more work upfront but I can switch it out and install it in 5 min every year after.

What about the portable one from HiSense that is on sale tomorrow at Costco? $319.

Also this one here is $279 tomorrow. You guys can get a credit for price change.

Could you link to the box/window replacement that you use? Thanks!
