8,000 BTU Midea U-Shaped Inverter Window Air Conditioner w/ WiFi Expired

Sorry to hear that, I received mine from Home Depot on 9/11 and I had placed my order on 9/7. Hope they get it to you sooner than later.

Ordered last week and status hasn't changed. I'm currently on the phone with HD getting that order cancelled, and have ordered the price matched one on Amazon.

That's not cool! 2023 ones seems to have "ion" option. Might have other efficiency improvements too

You don't want to use the ION feature anyway. This activates an ionizer, which will add a negative charge to small particles, which will fall to the floor instead of remaining suspended in air. Sounds good. But it also generates ozone, a lung irritant that's not healthy to breathe.

Got one delivered yesterday from an earlier deal. Have not set it up but interestingly the manufactured date was Feb 2022.

How do I check the manufactured date?

Florida, where the heat can be excessive.
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 is listed on the sticker on the side of the unit that has the model number.

Ordered 2 of the 8k units from Amazon a couple of weeks ago.

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.

it's weird because some people say it takes 15 minutes to install and some people have it take 2 hours or more. what makes the install so different you think?

do you feel like you need to drill the window bracket?

Ordered this deal about two weeks ago, Home Depot still hasn't shipped it.

That is accurate. It really depends on your window or the place you are installing it.
