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.
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.

It does have a smell when it switches to just fan so Im gonna have to just pull it out and fully take it apart and fully clean it. Spraying cleaner in it just masks the smell.

I'd probably be installing it around the first week of May, so that would still leave me within the return policy for Amazon, but not guaranteed there would be stock for an exchange if I needed it.
I've had an 8k unit for a few years and grabbed a 12k unit for the bedroom last summer when Costco had them on sale. The 12k was oversized for the room, but the price was great so I grabbed it.
I could not stand how much louder the 12k unit was even when running on lower settings. I ended up returning it and getting another 8k.
I have the 10,000 BTU version of the Midea U in my living room in a small, open-concept house. It's cooling about 576 sqft. It did alright last summer from August 18 (when I closed on the house) through the end of the season, but I'm thinking of putting this in the main bedroom upstairs--288sqft and getting the 12K unit for the main floor.
The thing is, the best suited window for these is just above and behind my easy chair that I spend 90% of my time in when I'm in the living room watching TV or lounging. So in practice it's about 18 inches from my head.
I'm totally fine with the noise of the 10K unit. I'm not sure now about the 12K unit. Possible alternative plan would be to get the 8K unit for the bedroom at $225 and keep the 10K unit downstairs. The only thing that bothers me is that 10K unit is just a little under-sized for the space it's cooling. It did well for the end of August, but I'm worried it'd be working a bit too hard.

I can't give you any hard numbers for actual db rating between them unfortunately. I remember seeing somewhere in Midea marketing that the 12k unit is only supposed to be a couple db louder than the 8k unit. However, for me personally, the actual difference was very noticeable and the noise was a bit too much for me to keep in the bedroom.
Obviously how we each tolerate the noise level is very subjective, it may be fine for you. I just really grew to love the whisper quiet of the 8k unit, but after setting up the 12k it felt like the added noise defeated the whole purpose of it being a U shaped unit.

For the main floor, I'll keep using my 10,000 BTU Midea U model. On the hottest of hot days, if it doesn't seem like it's keeping up, I can close off the office door and cut the area it has to cool down to around 450sqft. Last summer from August 18 when I closed on the house, through the end of the season it never seemed to have trouble, so I don't think I truly need to upgrade the BTUs on that unit.
