It took close to 2 hours to install the first, between my reading the instructions and watching the install video a dozen times... The second install took less than an hour once I was familiar with and confident of the process.
Installing was easy in hindsight.
They do a great job cooling our bedrooms and will serve to ease the load of the central unit, reducing overall power consumption.

I ordered it again, if the original ever ships I'll just return it I suppose. I didn't want to miss out on this deal. 10% off for military on top of this and I have a $40 rebate (Massachusetts)
Ok so apparently these are on backorder at Home Depot (I ordered originally last Thursday), and mine is expected to ship on 9/21. Guess I'll return that one if the Amazon one makes it here in one piece.
I have a 12k unit I installed a couple months ago in our master bedroom, and have been very impressed with it so far. Getting the smaller one for another bedroom to supplement the single zone central air.

So I have one of those crappy $100 GE window units that makes a ton of noise 5k btu. and I recently replaced it with the Midea 8k BTU.
First off the Midea is extremely quiet. just sounds like a low static from the fans blowing, you can barely hear the compressor, you wont hear it unless the room is dead silent.
Now for some reason, my little 5k btu inefficient ac, seems to cool the room much faster, and can go significantly colder since Midea lowest allowed temp is 60F. the closer midea gets to its target temp, the slower it goes will while trying to achieve it, at least on auto mode. My huskies no longer felt comfortable enough to sleep on the bed with my wife, since it was not cold enough.
Also the noise made from the older 5k btu window ac seems to be the perfect white noise to sleep too, its not blaring loud, yet the sound covers a huge range, so it covers up the sounds of wood expanding and contracting, dogs paws pacing around, people in the living room. ( incase you need to sleep during the day for a night shift). Something about its noise gets associated with comfortable hotels at the end of a vacation day, or just relaxing time at the end of a workday, and helps settle you.
There is no scheduling on the device itself, I might need to connect it to the wifi to do this. while I work IT, I will say that I don't believe in connecting any AC the internet, as they have been automatically shut off remotely from outside agencies during heatwaves and such in the past.
With the older ac, there's no smart tech, nothing sensitive about it. I can stick it on a manual timer, or Alexa plug and schedule it however I want, without the concern of the timer breaking it.
long story short. although I love the Midea, perfect for an office room, guest room, living room, etc. But for my specific purpose of cooling down 1 room instead of the whole house for sleeping, I will most likely go back to my older crappier, lightly rusted, inefficient, noisy 5k btu window ac.
if your on the fence or have any questions, I hope this helps.
It can be turned on or off. Seems to freshen the air.
How do I check the manufactured date?
It is listed on the sticker on the side of the unit that has the model number.

Your old AC might still be using R12 refrigerant. The newer Midea will use R410a.
R12 cooled way better... But unfortunately it's now illegal, it's bad for the environment, so all AC units now have to use the R410a.
I have one of those old 5k units too, I'll keep it until it dies.
For the Midea, keep it on cool instead of auto and turn off the eco mode, and it'll keep the compressor running and should get your room cooler. If you want it cold, just keep it on dehumidify mode which will run the compressor constantly
Thanks and also, is it worth exchanging if we got an older manufactured date for a newer/more recent manufactured date?

do you feel like you need to drill the window bracket?
With a big 4 monitor gaming desktop and a server rack the central air cant keep this room cool without freezing the rest of the house.
Mine was damaged in shipping but still works so I kept it.
Kinda want to get this as a backup and just hold onto it, that should also mean the backlog at HD is not an issue for me and I can stack 10% off with military.
Its quiet enough I can do recording in here without the noise being picked up on my microphone.

You might need the 10k or 12k unit. Also are you sure your huskies aren't bothered by the high pitch inverter sound?
do you feel like you need to drill the window bracket?
That is accurate. It really depends on your window or the place you are installing it.
