Own both the Whynter ARC-14s in storage now as backups, as well as the 14k BTU Midea units, which have replaced the Whynters at our house.
It's hard to describe how much better the Midea units are - soft ramp up for the compressor, and running at fractional compressor capabilities to maintain room temperature - the inverter compressor control is fantastic. Additionally, the Mideas are wireless enabled - you can set schedules with the app, and control them remotely. The Wynters are just hard ON at 100% capacity or OFF - there is no middle ground with them, but they are fine units - just older, less efficient technology.

Tough crowd. Too addicted to spending to notice this
This implies that the air circulation around the condenser section is not sealed properly from the evaporator section.
Took one look at the window kit and salvaged the connection and threw away.
After making my own plywood window kit, sealing everything (everything literally) with ac metal tape, and Insulating the dual hoses.....
You could still smell outside smell in the room, and get a draft. I believe it's from as you mentioned the unit itself is not sealed properly, no matter how much tape I put on it.
Now this was a minor complaint but irritated me due to the amount of time it took to do the best installation. But it did have no problem dropping the room to 67F for the ice queen,lol.
Bought for $260 In 2019, would recommend a window unit over these if it's an option.

Their compressor lines will rattle when it turns on, because Midea does not use enough rubatex insulation on the copper pipes. It is an easy fix - take off the main hose and you can see the compressor pipes - slide the insulation down a bit to keep the copper lines from touching and problem fixed!

Alas, not but a fortnite ago, I hath awoken in a state of suspended animation, until, by god's grace, the warmth of the earthly sun did restore me to full blooded warmth!
