I spray about 1/3 bottle of hydrogen peroxid($1 at most places) at the inside fins to clean any mold or bacteria issues. Frequency depends on how humid your environment is, but I do it once a month in Dallas, Texas during the months I use them. Dilute with water if you don't need it that strong.

I haven't had any mold issues with mine either. You just want to make sure and set the support bars so the unit is sloped just a degree or two downwards so that condensed water does in fact gravitate towards the outside, where it can drain. If you really want to, you can drill a hole or two in the bottom of the unit to assist with drainage, but I haven't had the need.

These units are so far superior to older AC technology.....it's an absolute game changer.

What I REALLY wish is that they would discount the units that have heat pump capability. I have two of them as well and would buy one more. It's amazing the amount of heat they can put out per watt, as compared to resistive space heaters.

I've got a 8000 BTU unit that I've been using for two summers and a 12000 BTU that I've had for one summer, and I think they're great. My central AC runs far, far less often, so my electricity bill had been noticeably lower despite the summers getting hotter.
It is predicted to be in the mid to upper 80's already next week down here in south Texas. I hope I don't have to install them already.
Mold? I didn't have any issues with that. On humid days, the AC can pull enough water out of the air that the water pools up in the outside portion of the AC. Some people would drill drain holes in the unit, but I just folded up a paper towel into a strip and tucked it between the fins and the case so it wicks the excess water out of the unit and into a bucket or onto a thirsty plant. Works great.

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.
Yup. Thats true if the temperature dips below 40F, it will shutdown. But it works 95% of the time in my relatively mild NorCal winter. The below 40F scenario where I live is only in the mornings before 8 AM. After 8AM its usually over 40F.

I think the technology is improving by the day. I read some articles on Arstechnica that talked about new centralized heating & cooling units that can warm up the house even at < 0 F.

How did you do that when it is OOS at Depot. Online purchase?
Yes, it was an online purchase. I just went through the online chat. She couldn't access the home Depot page due to a system error on their end, and asked me to send a screenshot of the page with the price, so I did and she accepted it. So it may have been a fluke, but it sure made my day as I was super bummed about missing out at Home Depot. Just remember you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, lol.

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
wrong, we have a 18,000 btu whirlpool i bought last spring to replace one of the Midea's and it never grew mold or collected fuzzy mold on it at all. so no ALL AC's do not do the same thing.

What happens if you don't let them sit for a couple of hours before trying to run them? Is it bad for it?
Bearings may not have enough lubrication, early failure of compressor.

Have you cleaned your blower? It's that time for me. Looks like mold or dust.

Lucky you. Mine is sloped and hole drilled but mold still collected.

I've heard that people have had some problems with the blower fan getting moldy and yucky, but I haven't had that problem, thankfully.

mine arrived yesterday, but there is such a large hole knocked in the corner I'm concerned that it might have even affected the unit.. you can literally see the plastic of the corner of the air conditioner through the hole....

I wasn't planning to get it out and install it just yet, but I guess I absolutely need to get it out and plug it in and make sure it's working 100%.

Yep, but they wont honor the Military discount when they price match....annoying

Do we think this price will come back around soon for the 8k?

Yeah, I tried to get mine also but they wouldn't add it on. Still a great price though, also my utility company has a $50 rebate on it so that was a huge plus.
