From my own experience, these are the updated units that include the recall fixes, i.e. new drain plugs, updated install/cleaning instructions.

No. The old model simply didn't have the drain hole what accommodates the pitch. The water sits in the a/c and mold would grow. Costco and home depot contacted every purchaser of the mileage products (including me) for full refund from midea, or have the hole installed. The new units have the drain-hole predrilled.

I purchased a Hisense 8k AC that did not cool my living room enough and returned it for this one. Having 12k BTU instead of 8K makes a big difference.

I got this one as the Midea brand is rated higher than Hisense. That said, I miss the shorter inside part of the Hisense AC units, this Midea looks huge in comparison

Most importantly the shorter inside part makes the blower fan easily visible to check for mold and cleaning

I bought the 8,000 BTU window unit a year ago for my bedroom, it's been rock solid. I bought this 12,000 BTU version two weeks ago for my open living space, and it's just as good a performer. Plus, this unit has a simpler installation compared to the 8,000 one despite being bigger. Both work with Amazon Alexa very nicely. Recommended.

We have one of the recalled units and I suspect the real problem was people not installing them correctly with negative pitch so they drain to the back.

I wish Costco carried the 8k or 10k of this, the 12k is just overkill for most bedrooms.

I own 4 of these for my house (old NYC house) and they're great, quiet and goes into fan/recirculation move to hold the temperature instead of fully turning on and off (short cycling). Easy enough to take on and off.

It will, but you'll have to make a fill panel for it. I've been using mine in a horizontal sliding window for going on 3 years now.

They're not really designed to be installed in slider windows. They can't be installed sideways so that the window closes into the "U". You can set it in the window opening, but you won't be able to close the window so there would be a huge gap above the unit. I suppose you could block the gap with a block of Styrofoam or some other rigid insulating material, but it would look unsightly.
