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
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.

Will report back on its durability and and if it was a terrible idea. Speaking of terrible ideas my scooter with dual 1000W motors just arrived last night, so I can't wait to go barrelling down the road at 40-50 miles on it, thanks slick deals
They have capacitive buttons and a chrome trim strip on the front.
The newer versions have a drain plug, have a 'Flash Cool' mode and seem to do a better job actually reaching their rated capacity, and also support Matter for smart home integration. They're also a little bit more expensive.
We have a few of the 8K versions and it's basically central air conditioning for a tiny fraction of the price.
Just bought in store from Costco with "V". Box says Matter support. Picture shows non-physical push buttons on the front, could be capacitive. Haven't opened box until price adjustment in a few days so can't confirm if drain plug exists. Another poster on this thread said they received one with drain plug from previous Costco purchase.
No. Don't see flash cool feature and no silver trim. Online manual for this exact model shows a drain plug so hope it's there.

IMHO these are worth the cost!
That said, it works well otherwise and looks better than most window units
Picking the unit up at the warehouse is highly preferable, as these are not packaged properly for UPS handling and delivery.
Can you provided a picture when you can of how you do it?
