All AC's work by transferring heat from one side of the unit to the other side, as part of this process the coils on the inside of the room will be ice cold (so they can absorb the heat in the room and move it to the outside) moisture will condense on the cold coils, it will then drip down in the pan and be directed outside, that's why AC's always dribble water on the outside.
If you shut the unit off there will be a lot of moisture, all over the coils and in the pan. That moisture be food for mold in the right climates..
To avoid this, run it on the fan mode before turning it off, this will dry the unit out and avoid the mold issues

Yes I believe they were last year for about $50 less. $229 I think it was.
Tip: if your sill plate has a decent slant, cut a 2x4 window width and put in on the sill and then go thru regular install directions. Also, cut pool noodles make for good extra insulation.

BTW: This air conditioner 12k uses nearly the same amount of energy as the 8k and idles down to 95W or so when cooling minimally. The 8K Idled back about the same cooling minimally. The main difference is that the 12K can ramp up to using 780W or so while the 8K maxed out at like 460W.
Oversize doesn't do much on inverter ac, just run it on a lower fan speed so it will dehumidify more

The 12k BTU's peak is listed as 1140w. Where is the 780w figure from?
I don't think they make the model with the heat pump anymore but I could be wrong. I have one that I bought a few years ago. I like it, it works very well.
Nice! Does it ever hit wattages higher than that, even when maxed or at startup?
Gaps are also sealed, literally can see the flies from outside coming out of the AC.
