This is my Sense meter which I can tell you is very accurate. The 491W in Other is a few lights on in the house and the Midea 12k running right now. "Always on" is my computers and devices it detects "always" and groups them together. I was shocked at how little energy use this AC uses. I know when my central air comes on it shows 2,500-3,500W with the blower and condenser. I told my wife if she wants it at 65 I'd have no problem!

The graph below shows when the A/C turned on at 8:45pm by the scheduler app and jumped a little over 200W. It was a cool day and the room started at about 72 and dropped to 69 in about 5 minutes. The fan slowed down (see the drop where it says -148W) and will continue to cool the room to about 67.5.

this is a bit wrong, they ramp the wattage up according to how hot it is and how hard theyre working. they can ramp quite high, off the top of my head 880+ watts according to a guy on yt running it in 108 degree heat, with the 8k unit. obviously the 12k can go even higher. a youtbe comment claimed up to 1168 watts in 105 temps with the 12k for example. but, these are worst case scenarios it seems to stabilize lower?

i figure a space heater draws 1500 on high so should be ok for one breaker provided you dont run too much else.

Anyone remember what the prices were like for these last year @ costco & HD during the summer? Hope Costco carries them again this year.
Costco had it for over $400 for the 12k BTU one.

OF COURSE the Central AC is going to run less! you introduced up to 20,000 BTU's of cooling capacity - most home Central AC's max out at 5Tons

if yours is
4tons it's 40%
5tons it's 33.3%


These have a CEER of 15 If your Central AC is new(er) then it's not much less efficient than these things.

Only benefit to this is that if you only use the few rooms where these are located then you can maintain the house at a higher temp.

Whole house comfort is MORE important (to me)than the potential $10 savings.

These are great for power failures and or Unit failures.
Did I touch a nerve? I knew the central AC would run less. Heck, I was counting on it. I've got a two-story house and the upper level is pretty much unoccupied during the day, so why cool it? I'm saving closer to $20-30/month, according to my utility bill.

Unit failures? Yes, that was a factor in me getting these. I've got a older AC unit, and having something to take the edge off a hot day in case the central AC breaks is a plus.

Have a great day!

I guess it just never has to ramp up the power in your situation. Thanks for sharing. This is a pretty interesting use case.

Got the 8k last fall when they were on sale and planned to try it out this summer in the bedroom before ordering a 12k for the living room. Just ordered the 12k, hoping I like them and they perform well.

This is a great product. However, buy at costco even it is more expensive. You can return if it breaks after a year or two.

Whoa its way cheaper than this GE U shaped Air conditioner [amazon.com].

But I happen to think GE has the better design

edit: GE is non inverter. Midea for the win...

I leave it in year round. No mold issues here. I have mine mounted with a tilt so all the water drains out the back. No holes drilled in the chassis. A mesh cover helps keep leaves and debris out of the unit.

Cold does come in through it as it has an opening for water to drain out from the front which in turn lets cold air in. It isn't enough for me to worry about since it helps balance out the heat from my radiators in the winter.
