$10 more than a month ago.

One year later with the heat pump version, and I'd say it has already paid for itself in electricity and gas savings for cooling only the bedroom at night and then covering the fall and now the spring shoulder season: heating until a few days ago, and cooling as of two days ago.

One quirk is that the auto setting is messed up, and it seems to only pick up weather at a different location. I learned not to keep it on auto but either on cool or on heat.

An upgrade I would recommend is a $40-ish drain water pump, it sits on the floor and when full dumps the water through a hose that empties on the roof through a tiny hole in a window seal. No more need to empty a can or bucket when full.

Amazon has this same unit refurbed for more. There are a LOT of 1-star reviews, seems QC isn't very good with these. Maybe buy a long warranty with the money you save?

I bought this exact deal. Turned it on, heard some clanking and immediately got a code for a bad motor. Could have just been bad luck, but was able to return it easily

Even though this is "single hose, it's technically a dual hose (double wall design in a single hose), which is what you want.

Got two last time. Both missing the window adapter; both make funky rattling sounds. Going to have to return both.

Bad luck, it sounds like other people had much better units.

Mine arrived missing the adapter, tape, and several other small parts. When I checked the filter, it was filthy. I thought cleaning it might make the unit look somewhat new, but I was wrong. After cleaning the filter, I found a heavy buildup of fur, hair, and dust behind it. This is unacceptable—I will be returning it.

Really is luck of the draw. Just got mine. All the accessories were new, including batteries. The filters were new as well. Unit didn't seem used and looked new-ish. although the right panel has a bit of a wave on it, and there were a few black sticky marks that will come off. Unit works pretty well - no water came out of the bottom drain after using it for a few hours, relatively quiet, and was blowing out ~58F air with room temp at 80F. It made a very large living room comfortable pretty quickly, though after 2-3 hours had not lowered the temp significantly. Would work great in 300-400 sq foot space, I think 550 is pushing it, unless you can prevent air from escaping your living room (doors/curtains etc)

Don't be like me and wait for the last day to return it. The return code gave an error at the store. CSR called customer service multiple times for help. They said they will send me a UPS shipping label to return and never did. Called Walmart multiple times, said they will provide a UPS shipping label and then had to reached out to Midea. They denied the return as it was way over 90 day return window, even though I started the return process well before that online.

I bought two of these before. One has error code. The other one is louder and has weird sound looks used for a long time.

Got 2 last year and both were new and worked great. Hopefully this year they will continue to perform well, if not I will test out the extended warranty. Being able to return in store makes it worth the risk. I did not get that fancy remote though, just some generic model that works fine.

I got this a full price right before this deal came out a month ago; returned the 1st unit and got this deal. Both units were amazing! Refurbed unit came with new remote, but was missing vertical adapter. Emailed them and they sent it right away! Unit is great but has some quirks; it's temp sensors are pretty finicky, and the unit often will not run throughout the night (although I'm told that's a feature I'd really like a way to turn it off.). But once you set it to detect remote temp, you can hide the remote in another room to keep it going. Small annoying thing, but it's still alot better of a unit that other things I've had. Hopefully it holds up for a long time.

I ordered this when it was at $220. It came with all accessories and looked new. I've been using it for two weeks now and it has been great.
