Decent discount off the usual price of $400 if you want to beat the Summer rush, but bear in mind that these usually get discounted even further in September after the season.

8,000 BTU $329.99

    Not sure how long it will last but my 12,000 was amazing last summer.

    Super quiet and lowest power use possible for a window unit.

    I just don't like how you can't make it use outside air, circulate only and the remote sucks.

    Did you know Midea makes like 9 out 10 microwaves sold in the US? All the brand relabels are mostly Midea

    I really like the efficiency of my 8000 and 12000 units, but they are definitely not easy to clean out. Getting some musty smells from them now. Also, the feature that holds water at bottom of outside unit also collects lots of bugs and dirt. The app works well enough. Never use the remote.

    I bought the 8000Btu of $276 a while back and have enjoyed it. It is quiet, that is for sure.

    How about drilling a hole at the bottom to drip away the water? I know it sucks because one shouldn't resort to this on a premium unit.

    just want to add that these ACs require a mount. if you plan to install it, make sure you have a flat wall under the window that brace shoes of the mount.

    Costco ad says the 12k has heat mode. Realizing it won't be very efficient in heat mode, but anybody know if it really has a reversing valve?

    I don't think the U-shaped models have reverse cycle heat mode. The Midea website for the model number MAW12AV1QWT says it doesn't have heat. So maybe Costco made a mistake.

    Midea does have a *non*-U-shaped inverter AC with heat but it's out of stock everywhere.

    I really wanted one of these from Sam's Club for $300 last year (12k BTU) but didn't have a membership or get one fast enough. I hope this isn't the best price we see this year because I need two and this seems expensive. But so does everything.

    On modern ACs, you're not supposed to drill holes - the water is supposed to help cool off the coils or something like that. I'm going to use algae tablets every month to keep the water from becoming stagnant sludge, as well as cleaning the filter every week. Should help with keeping it mold-free, because I hear cleaning these from the inside out is nigh impossible. For bugs and dirt I can probably just blast it with a water hose to get it out every so often.

    I just bought mine and it's coming tomorrow. I have vinyl siding (that angled 'ribbed' design). Not sure how it's going to pan out as its not flat, and is prone to fracturing/breaking, but I'm already too late in the game to turn back now. It looks like the feet of the brace have anti-slip shoes so it shouldn't be too bad. If not, I'm going to rig it to work somehow, ugliness be damned. This is the best AC there is apparently, and that's what I'm sticking with. I don't care what my neighbors think - they don't pay my mortgage and I'm not in an HOA. Watching them get butthurt over trivial things makes my day better!
