Far as the unit goes, I have it in my second floor master bedroom (225 SF) blasting into my loft area where I typically work from home and need a little relief as the loft gets toasty. The bedroom quickly cools even in the "low" setting. My work desk is about 28' from the unit and I can feel the cool air from the unit, the area is really open so I didn't expect the Midea unit to work well but it does bring temps down about 2 degrees at my desk (about 500 SF open layout) which is enough until I get a mini split or another Midea for this area as summer goes on.
I've had a Kill-a-watt attached to the unit for several days, in 218 hrs it's used 51 kWh (my usage is erratic) . On high it does range between 1100-1200 W, and on Medium it's in the 800W range, 500W on low.
Noise - It's not the quietest thing, but on "LOW" a decibel meter app on my phone reads 43 dBat 2 ft from the fan, on "HIGH" it's at 56 dB. Not disruptive enough to cause issue at night.
Install - The window attachments are pretty low quality. Can't believe there's no better solution than slotted plastic panels you put together with plastic pins. And then the hose attachment to said panels is equally terrible, little plastic tabs that anytime you bump the unit they dislodge from the panels.
Overall in two weeks it has performed well for what I needed - reduce the need for Central air cooling just to cool certain areas in my 2nd floor without splurging on a mini split.
