If you can deal with those first-world problems, highly recommended!
The downsides of the heat function are:
It only works if the temp outside is above 42 degrees. So depending on your climate this may only be useful for chilly spring and autumn days.
It generates a lot of condensate so you have to hook a hose up to the highest drain and empty the bucket every now and then.
When it's cold out, and the unit is not in use but still hooked up to the window, a lot of cold air is going to come in through the duct hose. This can also cause a lot of condensation to build up underneath the unit where the cold air pours out onto the floor. You really have to pull it out of the window and shut the window when it's not in use if it's cold outside.
Make sure you wrap the duct hose with the included sleeve if using heat mode, to prevent condensate from building on the duct hose.
Overall I would say it's good for chilly spring / autumn days where you need a little extra warmth but don't want to turn on the furnace, but not so useful for very cold days like in the dead of winter.

Figured I'll share my experience to help out.
The hisense works great it blows cold and managed to get my gaming room down to 73 degrees on full blast mind u this is a small room but I could see it working in the advertised up to 400 Sq ft. It does the job well.
I bought an insulator sleeve for the exhaust and that helped it out more than I expected.
My problem is the lack of inverter. When this thing kicks on and I'm gaming with my pc on the same circuit it was tripping my breaker. I replaced my breaker because I had some other issues with it and it hasn't tripped it again but it's obvious I'm really taxing the circuit and I can't really switch to a different circuit for pc or ac unit unfortunately.
When the compressor kicks on it doesn't trip the breaker anymore but it does trigger my battery backup for a split second I hear it click.
The inverter would Eliminate this entirely for me
This also translates to a much more efficient unit check YouTube for power draw on both and the midea is less than half of the power draw than the hisense at any given moment.
My situation is unique though and tbh if u Wana cool a small room I don't doubt you will be happy with either but if u want to save energy and/or put this on an already taxed circuit def go with inverter option.
edit : also inverter will allow u to run the midea off a generator unlike the hisense.
This thing cools like crazy. Much better than non-inverter designed I've had prior. I cool it from 110 Arizona heat, and don't even have it cranked up. Midea stuff are amazing!
Throw away the adhesive foam that comes with it. SUPER MESSY.
Otherwise it's very solid. I'm happy with the cooling performance.
Anyone know where I can get another sliding windows installation kits? Would like to install it in my office window. The unit is heavy but easy to move around because it has smooth wheels.

I took have this unit - snagged a refurb / Toshiba branded on eBay. I was a bit reluctant on going refurb but, the unit, physically, looks brand new (I'm in the HVAC manufacturing business, might I add - which is why I went with a Toshiba-branded unit
From a functionality standpoint, this thing has been absolutely stellar. Our home gets midday to late day sun on the portion of our house where the master bedroom is located. The thermostat is on the other end of the house. To cool off our bedroom, it takes some understanding of the airflow in the house (and shutting off vents to force more air into the bedroom.
Gone are those days!
Super simple to set up. I think unboxing to operational/installed was a combined 30 minutes.
If you're on the fence, I can absolutely back this product from an AC perspective. The jury is out on heating capabilities as we haven't hit the season yet.
I did hook this unit up to a electric pull meter and, by my calcs, it's around 10 cents per hour to run - and I can almost hang meat in my bedroom (holds the room temp, even with high exterior humidity, below 65° F.
I'm a fan.... I have considered getting another one for our bonus room above the garage as it certainly struggles to keep up with hot/humid summer days.
Two big thumbs up from me!
The exterior air intake within the unit is also not completely sealed, so during smoky times, some outside air can make its way in when not in operation.

The compressor is too loud for a bedroom. It would be ok if the sound was consistent but it goes from whisper quiet to loud which is very disruptive. Luckily in WA we usually only need to run it for a few hours in the evening until the outdoor temp drops into the 60's and can pull in the outside air with box fans.

Also any idea on the hose length and just how sturdy it is? I have an older LG single hose and the hose will crack with almost any bending, so it needs to be held in one single spot.
Last question -- my LG hose needed to be wrapped with lots of insulation around the hose (the metallic wrap and tape) to prevent the exhaust heat from warming the room, would that be of any benefit to this type of model, or just run it as-is?
