A few weeks ago I came home from vacation to a central unit that failed. I put the window unit in our bedroom and we slept like babies. The repairman wanted to come out and charge us an after hours call. We waiting until Monday and paid a far cheaper bill while still being comfortable. It didn't pay for itself, but it saved us quite a bit.

And a whole house fan to pull in the cool air in the mornings. Insulation is key, though.
I'm asking because I ran a 20amp circuit for this unit (20amp breaker, 12/2 wire), bought a combo AFCI/GFCI receptacle, and installed over the weekend. As im cycling through the menu options and fan speeds, the unit trips the AFCI/GFCI receptacle.
I know the circuit isin't overloaded since it's the only appliance running on it and i've previously ran other similar sized loads on this circuit (Frigidaire 70pint dehumidifier pulling around 6amps).I also know that the receptacle is installed properly and double-checked that nothing was loose or damaged.
This led be down a deep hole where other users on various forums, comment sections, and so on have reported these units tripping their AFCI or GFCI outlets.
Apparently the consensus for this behavior seems to be that these newer inverter-based appliances (such as these AC unit's or inverter-based refrigerators) seem to leak a small amount of voltage to ground when ramping up and down their power consumption and this will at times trick the AFCI-protected breaker or receptacle into believing that this leak is an arc fault signature which leads to it tripping.
Other buyers who have posted in Amazon reviews have even commented with information that is supposedly directly from Midea in which Midea tells them that these units are to not be plugged into AFCI or GFCI protected outlets because it can cause issues and that the unit itself is protected by the electrical plug even though the plug they use is an LCDI plug and not a GFCI plug.
With all that being said, can anyone who's experienced this AFCI/GFCI-related issue with these chime in or even an electrician who's seen this willing to give some insight or let me know if what im relaying is accurate info?

Aren't LCDI's the same exact thing as GFCI? It detects if there is a leak in power and shuts off the unit so you don't get electrocuted. I mean might be a different technique than GFCI, but accomplishes the same thing?

Any idea
Thanks
However, totally worth it once installed. I got a supposedly really quiet window AC for my kids room and the thing was loud as heck. Switched to the Midea and it's super quiet. The variable fan speed on the app is great as you can select 0-100%. On the lower settings say 10%, it keeps things cool in a smallish bedroom but is super quiet.
didnt know that. on the unit you can press buttons for the fan for low medium or high.
in the app you can control the fan by 1 pct points from 0 to 100%?

It's unreal how quiet it gets on 1%.
The only caveat is that the unit cannot lower the temperature beyond certain points in certain size rooms at that fan speed (dependent on room size, ambient temperature in the environment, etc), SO,if you have ECO mode on, it may not drop below the temperature required by the units' internal swing to completely shut down the unit for further electrical savings.
That's my whole one-day observation so far
I haven't seen an inverter AC smaller than 8K.
I had the same concerns when i jumped in for the bigger unit this spring when only it was on sale. About a week or two later the smaller unit went on sale. The weight of both sizes is actaully similar as is the dimensions. Then... I can vouch that the large unit is fine for a small room. Better even, it likely cools the room faster than the 8k unit can... I usually set it at 72 - 74F and room is cool in about 10minutes or less... this is a room that feels like 85degrees. I usually set the unit at 75F and low fan (for lowest noise) for over night sleeping.

There's still a few more weeks of overnight AC weather to get through so I will use it for that short time and remove it for the winter.,It will be tested.
Install was pretty simple. Removal should be the same.
