Must be Costco member to purchase either.

Midea 12,000 BTU Cooling Inverter Window Air Conditioner $339.99 [costco.com].

LG 9.5k BTU Dual Inverter Smart Window Air Conditioner $289.99 after $110 off [costco.com]- Expired, OOS

$110 off on LG unit is valid 5/9-5/13 only.

Reverse cycle heat on the Midea only goes down to 40, so this isn't likely to replace your primary heat source. It's still a great innovation in this type of device though.

Both of these energy efficient window inverter air conditioners are tremendous values. The LG unit is currently $449 at the Home Depot!

Yes it is a heat pump.... but so is ANY air conditioner. Anything that moves heat from one location to another is a heat pump. What makes this Midea different is that it is an inverter air conditioner, more efficient (uses less power) than a regular non-inverter type. Inverter AC uses maybe 30% less electricity to do the same cooling. Will also be quieter as the compressor speed is variable as opposed to non inverter's always in full speed compressor (on only or off no speed variability).

For what it's worth, I have a dead 1.5 year old Midea chest freezer in my driveway leaking blood for the past week and I can't get anybody to answer my phone calls or talk to me about warranty claims or unit repair. Be sure you have a good protection plan with a company who will respond. Lowe's and Assurant have not been helpful thus far.

U-Shaped is a little more efficient than this one. 15.0 ceer versus 13.3. Probably a savings of $50-$100 per year on electricity, depending on use. Also, the U-Shape comes with its own mounting bracket, the likes of which run $80-$90 everywhere.

While the heat feature sounds interesting, I can't imagine using it for more than a few odd weather days per year, given the limitations.

Lastly, for those considering the LG, check the reviews of nearly identical previous models. Quite underwhelming, to say the least.

So strange that they have this in-store, but not online. I wonder what areas have this available? Maybe someone who isn't in the Witness Protection Program can tell us where these are available?

I would prefer the smaller LG unit but it OOS online. I hope that I can find it in the store.

Fantastic deal...I am using it for a while now and it is super quiet and compact compared to other regular Window ACs.

Would be amazing if it heated at or below freezing like a mini split. I would consider installing it below an existing window and add a few 2x4s on each side for support.

There are odd ball mini splits setup like that. I've seen windows done that way in the city

I have the u-shaped but thinking about going with this because the U shape is incredibly difficult to get a good air sealed isntall all the way around. With this traditional design, you have the two fins on either side, and can easily use some good tape all around to air seal. With the U, they give you these foam blocks they are hard to cut to shape, and you also have a huge gap underneath the unit. The extra "quiet" is probably not worth it for the U shape, although I am hesitant based on a comment here about this units efficiency not being as great as the U

Can anyone with a Costco membership tell me how much it is now? It won't let me see the sale price unless I'm a member.

Does this unit require a support mounted to the wall outside the window ?

I'm not destroying a window to secure an AC unit, while every other window in the house is secured by sash locks. I'm also not rendering every window in the house unusable. You could also just install bars on all the windows of the house if you are that concerned.
How does it destroy the window (oh, no, an invisible screw hole is left, however will I cope with life)? How is the window unusable...it already has an AC in it?
Are you on drugs? Seek help.
