CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER IN STORE BEFORE PURCHASING!
I purchased two 12,000 BTU units for $250 each yesterday at Costco. To play it safe, I used my cell phone to check the model and serial number at the Midea Recall website https://mideaurecall.expertinquiry.com/?lang=en . The model number is MAW12AV1QWT-C and it appears on the Recall List, HOWEVER, if you also input the serial number located on the outside of the box, you'll get specifics on that unit. The two units I purchased state they are "reworked". They have the plugs on the bottom of the units. BUT BE CAREFUL! Two of the five boxes I checked came back as still being recalled! I pointed this out to a sales rep. He replied that they may be units that customers returned to the store and were placed on the floor among the units recently delivered. I asked him to point out to the manager that Costco is selling units that are on the recall list. Yeah, I'm sure he got right on that. Caveat emptor. CHECK THE SERIAL NUMBER BEFORE PURCHASE.

This isn't the same model that is sold at Costco so people are aware. I don't know exactly what the difference is, but I imagine functionally you won't see a difference

I bought one of these and then a month later had a recall notice issued to me for mold. I was planning on replacing all the window units in the house with these!!

Hello There. Thank you for posting your review on the Midea 8,000 BTU 115-Volt U Plus Shaped Smart Inverter Window Air Conditioner. These units available for sale are updated and not part of the recall. These new units include a drain hole and black drain plugs made from new materials. This allows for proper drainage while maintaining the product's efficiency and performance. Have a good day!-Midea Customer Support

Nah, they're almost always cheaper in store. They say "free shipping" but they always seem to tack on a shipping charge for online orders (well, for big items).

I bought one from AMZN earlier this year for $17 more. Though heavy, it was easier to install than I had expected. So far, it has worked well to cool an average-size bedroom and is quiet enough to allow uninterrupted sleep.

Same here. Was on sale for $289, which I swore the sign said 'til the 24th, but was in the other day and it was back to $389. Will wait for after summer clearance.

I would have been tempted to flip them for profit. Some people have reported getting $480 for recall for three month old 12!000 btu.
