i finally pulled the trigger on the 12k after 2 yrs of trepidation. both as a backup, and i may try to replace my main heat pump with it and save money. it's a long story but i'm single and really only use my bedroom and living/kitchen space which is about 600sq ft.

main concerns are if it seals up well from bugs, and the fact i dont like that someone could peer in my windows around the sides of the unit while i'm sleeping (i'm a fraidy cat and live alone). so i guess i'll have to rig up something, like tinfoil, but that could look very ghetto.

i will probably honest just stash it in the garage for the time being. i had a backup wally world window unit special for that purpose, which those really come in clutch, but gave it away. for 250, its probably only 100 more than the wally world units today.

and oh in tx i got the oncor 50 dollar energy rebate or whatever. ymmv i'm sure. it was more involved than last time i put this in my cart where i think you just clicked something. this time it was a bit hard to understand and i had to click out, make an account at oncor , but then they basically emailed me the promo code that worked at home depot website. so really cant beat the 250 price.

My window does not open close vertically but horizontally, so this does not work for me.

we have two 10,000 and one 12,000 that we paid full price for, loved them but, all three developed fuzzy mold issue inside on blue fan part and unit sides in that area. you can not simply brush & wipe this build up down, nor vacuum it off. you have to take the whole unit apart to do so and that takes quit a bit of doing and most probably won't be able to do so themselves. once we took our 12,000 apart, we saw that it had black looking mold dots throughout the unit inside, even under the foam pieces that kept unit frame from rattling.. the one 10000 wasn't as bad, was just full of mold where fan blade & surrounding area is. the other 10000 we didn't bother using again 2nd year, it was making a noise by end of first use that irritated me.. this coming summer we won't be using any of them again, the two we used on second year are once again filled with mold and it happened mid-way through summer. i did buy a testing kit to check if was bad mold and it was not though, we just don't want to deal with spending hours taking them apart, cleaning them, spraying them with mold spray and waiting overnight before we can put them back together, it was a lot of work.. ALL of them however are awesome at cooling house and keeping it that way, if they redesigned the front panel so that we could easily take it off to clean blue fan blade when dust builds up, it would be an A+ AC and i would buy another in a heartbeat.. current $300 sale price for the 12,000 though sure makes it tempting to buy it even if only get one years worth out of it..

All 3 units I ordered survived shipping. Tested working. Big Grin

Last year I bought the Costco one and they busted it, leaked oil all over. Took it in store for exchange.

You realize ALL air conditioners do this depending on the humidity in your area. Even Mini splits.

If you go into your basement and check your central AC, it's the same thing. That's what the servicing is for. laugh out loud

Make sure to check your utilities company rebates! I used Mass Save on the 12000BTU one, and got it for $260.

I am less concerned by the price than the functionality. I will gladly pay more for a unit with heating.

In fact, I have a non U shaped 12K Midea unit from Costco, that has heating and cooling. I got it from Costco for about 340 + taxes.

But I am on the lookout for a U shaped one for the bedroom and I need it to be quiet.

If you look at the Q&A page for this deal on homedepot, lots of people are asking for the heating functionality. So clearly a market exists, but I don't know why Midea chose to skip heating on these units.

I almost bought one to heat and cool a shed/work area. Then I realized they wont produce heat if the outside air temp is below 40 degrees. Hopefully we will see a better design in the near future.

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...
That is NOT shaped like a "u" its more like an "n" .
Learned that in Pre K


that is a better design and has "flex" depth. some versions offer "inverter"

Why do people insist on linking crappy prices from AZN?
