It can also peg around 450-480 watts periodically when settling down from medium to low or when first kicking into low when the compressor surges, and then levels out at around 250-300 watts.
Medium is pretty capable of bringing my living room/kitchen area which is around 400sq ft or so I'd say with other rooms doors shut, from 85 degrees to 76 or so within 30 minutes to an hour.
YMMV depending on your area, it's generally in the high 70's to low 80's outdoor temps here at the moment, but it can reach 95+ in the middle of summer, so I can't comment on those sorts of conditions just yet.
Fan speed settings more or less control compressor load along with it on these units. If you set the fan to low, expect the 250-300 watt load range, medium upper 700 watt range, high over 1K watts. So you can't have for instance just the fan on low and the compressor running at full load, or the fan on high and the compressor at its lowest load, these aren't actually 'smart'. Ceiling fans or floor standing fans will certainly help to distribute the cold air throughout more than one area/room.
Since temps aren't that high yet I generally just have mine in low all the time with continuous fan mode, so when the compressor turns off entirely, the fan still runs at a load of 10 to 12 watts to help with any moisture accumulation in the tank.
If my asshole cats unplug it and the house heats up into the mid 80's I'll run it on medium until it gets down to 76-77 and switch it back to low.
When I get it plugged in again I'll correct any errors I might have made, I put a U-shaped window unit in the living room cause I'm less concerned about my cats messing with that, and will be moving the portable to my bedroom and can recheck the load then.

This vid shows watts used at 7:00 . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYUSGha
The guy saying this Inverter AC is pulling 1300 watts must have a cat stuck in his vent or something....
At 1300 watts , if there was anyhing else plugged in to rooms on the average bedroom circuit, it would trip the breaker.
1. Not the same ac unit.
2. I have the real world experience. Not just googling a video.
3. Second video, 8:00 in.
4. Unless you're plugging in a microwave on the same circuit, 1300 watts is not gonna trip a circuit with a TV, some lamps, and a cpap. There's watts to spare. Most circuits are rated for 1875 watts.
5. I hate cats.
oh no

I'm hoping the other people are right, due to wanting to power this off a solar battery unit some of the time in the event of another summer outage. Could it be possible yours is malfunctioning and throttling full blast all the time? Was under the impression inverter models were considerably more efficient. Going full wattage at all times is normally what the cheap models do. I guess I'll see. Going to test right away once it shows up.
I guess worst case I'd have to keep a small gas/propane generator on during every usage.
My 2kw battery unit would only last about 1.3 hours if it's a constant 1300 watts...

I have a feeling Midea is sending a mixture of models. Mine came with heat via heat pump. I didn't think the listing showed that as a function.
It's not 12k but you can get an 8k refurb hisense legitimate dual hose portable with inverter for the same price.
