I bought 3 of these. 1 had a broken hose bracket, another was missing accessories and stuff to install it, another one failed 4 days before the 90 day return period. Returned all 3 of them. Like the other poster said, it's Russian roulette.

My unit shows: On full cooling load, 1200-1300 watts. On fan only, about 150-200watts. The game changer is duo hose. Most affordable non-inverter units are single-hose, that create negative pressure that draws air from any leak spot from outside. Dual hose design has the most efficiency gain. If your area is very hot, the unit is running non-stop to keep up the cooling demand, then inverter does not save much. But if your area is mostly 80-85F outside, then the inverter is mostly running on low speed (also quieter), then a non-inverter (constant speed compressor) is less efficient.

I bought it over 3 months ago for $249. I know it's like Russian roulette when you get the box. in my case it the AC looks brand new never been used+with all the accessories. it's been running in the room above the garage since last month non-stop. you can buy the extended warranty 3 or 5 years for $35 I think.

I just received mine yesterday and it looks pretty much new. Hooked it up and that sucker blows nice and cold. This thing is a beast. The exhaust hose is huge too and so is the unit. Looks like it cool my 20ft vaulted ceiling living room with no issues.
Well technically it should have an easier time cooling a room with a higher ceiling lol - all the hot/warmer air rises up to the ceiling while the cooler, denser air settles on the floor

No problem. It does not require the serial number to register, just a copy of the receipt which does not have the serial number. If you ever submit a claim though, they will at that point ask for a serial number and then associate the two together. So in theory you could use it for either of your two units, assuming only one ever needs serviced (but hopefully neither.)
Thanks. My intent is not to use the warranty on two units, but rather to use it on the one I already have while getting an effective price match on the other with the repurchase/return. You've been super helpful - thank you!

The big problem with units like these is that people people fark them up the very first time they use them, potentially causing irreparable damage with long-lasting consequences.

The main thing is that these types of AC units cannot be positioned in any way other than perfectly upright. If they get tilted on their side or anything like that then you must sit them upright and make sure that all the fluid inside settles drains back down by waiting 24-48 hours. The box is huge, heavy, and awkward. I'll bet a lot of people buy one and just fling it sideways into the back of their SUV before setting it up immediately once they get home.

Interesting. Didn't realize their was a 4y for the $199 cap range. I found this one, which seems doesn't seem to include any wording that would exclude this unit - https://www.walmart.com/ip/4-Year...1121872858
Interesting. So many warranty options. From what I have found, the options are:


3-Year Protection Plan For Appliances & Miscellaneous Electronics $100-$199.99 - $22
https://www.walmart.com/ip/3-Year...&sharedid=

4-Year Seasonal Electronics Protection Plan $150 - $199.99 - $34
https://www.walmart.com/ip/4-Year...&sharedid=

4-Year General Electronics Protection Plan $150 - $199.99 - $34
https://www.walmart.com/ip/4-Year...1159020690

4-Year Protection Plan For Refurb Electronics $200-$399.99 - $45
https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/608300760

4-Year Protection Plan For Appliances & Miscellaneous Electronics $200-$399.99 - $45
https://www.walmart.com/ip/4-Year.../723742414

Which to purchase, I do not know. Nor do I know if it really matters. I also don't know if they would give you a hard time if you purchased the $200 on up warranty but only paid $199.99 for the unit. I do feel the 4 year is a beter option than the 3-year, though. These are transerrable which will help with resell as well.

I don't think this is accurate, although I could be wrong. Yes hot air rises, but it doesn't make the a larger room (larger due to high ceilings) easier to cool. AC/Cooling is an extraction of heat, not an adding of cold. That warm air will eventually blend somewhat and bring the overall room temperature up.

Agree 100%. At $7 or $8/year it's a no brainer.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank chumpsky2010

Even though I have an Central HVAC in my condo, I'm getting this because I'm in my room doing work and sleeping 80% of the time. Can save close to a $1000 yearly. So I'm in.

Based on what everyone is saying, when I get it, I'm just going to let it sit up right for 48 hours. I bet that's a big source of lot of the problems/errors people are getting.

Does anyone use any aftermarket window vent kit with better seal/insulation than the one provided by Midea? Willing to spend a few bucks on a real good one that could add to this unit's efficiency.

You can buy foam board insulation at Home Depot for pretty cheap. I will say that it is a complete mess when you cut it though and you need to then tape the seams. You can get the lower r value one in a 4x8 sheet for a 10 bucks and double up the thickness. Make sure you have duct tape though. Alternatively a cheap camping sleeping pad similar to a yoga mat would work.

Would love something like this to lower AC costs throughout the year but I only have a sliding doors on my 2nd floor. House is masonry, assume I'm out of luck?

Did you do this via chat, phone, or in-store? I called and asked them and they would not match the price even though I just bought it 2 weeks prior. Edit: I called them and only managed to get a $25 promo code. They would not do the $50 price adjustment. This really cost me $41 more then ($25 more in unit, $5 more tax, $11 more for the extended 4 year Allstate warranty since I was now at the $200+ threshold), but no Walmart nearby me and a pain to return, so worth it.
did it via chat which was so much better than buy it again have it delivered then return it 2 days later

Wish this can provide heat in the winter as well, I would buy one for sure.

I have been looking for a good deal on this one at Sam club:

Midea Duo 12000 DOE 14000 BTU ASHRAE Smart Inverter Portable AC with Heat

https://www.samsclub.com/p/midea-.../P03016427
I know it's convenient, but a 120v heater is always max 1500w (theoretical outlet limit is 1800w but never seen one over 1500w.) it's essentially a controlled short circuit. Can be had for $30 or less online. As the saying goes though, it's "something else to break." 1500w going through this controlled short puts a lot of stress on the electrical components meaning more chance of it breaking something. So instead of being out $30 you're out a $200+ unit. So having them separate is better in the long run. Also allows you to put away the unit in the winter and close your window to minimize cold air coming in.
