Supposedly, Midea was planning to repair (fix) the new units and start selling them again.

They certainly not planning to go out of business and have to make money to refund the recalled units.

They have a fix. They will send a technical out to remedy the issue. Or you can order a DIY kit. Or you can return.

I have two units that I've been using summers for 2 years and no mold issues. I install them tiled back more than instructed and I think they may help with the mold issue. Just FYI

The Clearview has issues too. Because of its shape, it needs a condensate pump on the inside to pump the condensate to the outside unit--if it fails, water ponds on the inside. Google GE Clearview condensate pump issues.

If amazon is selling them again then the problem has been fixed. The government wouldn't allow it otherwise

It's been fixed. Just make sure it is tilted appropriately and there's that new hole in the bottom of it.

If it is one of the impacted models you can elect for a repair or a refund (12K unit is 480 dollars).

If you want to repair it yourself, watch a YouTube video on where to drill a drain hole then use rustoleum spray paint to prevent corrosion in the area you drilled.

I have two units, always tilted, plenty of rain, no mold. Just be sure to check it occasionally (like any window AC) for residual water after a storm. You can do this by just popping the front cover, you need to do that when cleaning the filter as well.

If you live somewhere that's always humid though, you may want to do additional research into a model that better fits your climate to be safe.

Home Depot has the larger 12K unit listed. I heard that that particular unit was not affected by the recalls because they resolved the issue prior. However, that makes me even more skeptical because I'm wondering if the newer units are "more resolved" than the Home Depot one which was pre-recall.

I have been researching these. It seems like the options are the Midea of course, the GE Clearview, and the Hisense j shaped unit. There are reddits and YouTube comparisons of these.

One downside of the Midea is that blinds do not cover the side window gaps. Not an issue with the GE or the Hisense. Something to consider.

My 12K units were impacted 1 and 2 years old. I can't speak to Home Depot's specific model, I know some are coming with the fix. I submitted for the fix on mine, and keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't get water stuck in it though.

Good luck - I hope yours gets resolved. I'd also try to clean out the existing mold in addition to adding the drain plug, so you have a clean slate.

Re: the Home Depot one, I don't recall exactly where I saw that theirs might not have been affected. However, here is the link - https://www.homedepot.com/p/Midea.../336424850.

This model seems to be a Home Depot exclusive because on Midea's site, the only place it shows on "where to buy" is Home Depot.

https://www.midea.com/us/store/co...MAW12U1QWT

Per my earlier note, I think I'd rather have a newly-resolved one post-recall as opposed to one that 'wasn't affected....but probably still is affected.' Also, Costco might be a better place to purchase once they release the new models given the return policy....if Costco decides to go through the headache of stocking them again given the issues.

I own one of the affected units. Amazon immediately removed the listing from Amazon, so you can't buy an "affected unit"

The problem is literally just water pooling. Their solution was to drill a drain hole, or cut the cable and get a refund.

Realistically, this was a non-issue for the one summer I used it for.

Midea had me cut the power cord to the unit in order to get a $453 check sent to me for the recall.

All in all, Midea and Amazon handled everything perfectly. I would definitely buy this again, once I get my check.

How about you post a credible link? If there were issues, there would be a recall issued, especially since these have been out for quite awhile.
