Why did I wait so long?
Style: 12,000 BTU (2026 Edition)
I gotta say I was skeptical on how good this ac unit really would be. Replacing my 10 year old LG portable AC unit, I was expecting that it would do pretty good and boy was I not let down. I have used this for about 3 weeks so far and it has kept my room cool whilst being quiet and efficient with energy as well. Install was a breeze and the unit arrived in perfect condition which is usually rare for somthing that is pretty heavy and handled by multiple shipping companies. This speaks to how well this unit is packaged. I removed the 'updated' drain plug from the bottom and have the unit leaning about a full bubble on my level downwards and its been draining well and I dont think I will get any mold issues. Being that im in the northeast US, prolonged humid days are not super common so I think this unit should do just fine. The wifi capabilities and remote work great and I couldn't believe I waited so long to get such a unit over the portable ac unit type with the hose that runs to the window to expel its hot air. Being able to open the window while this is installed is also a plus. Keep in mind my room is above a garage which usually acts as an attic and it gets very warm without air conditioning, this 12k btu unit is perfect. ... show more

Best AC Purchase I've Made!
Style: 12,000 BTU (2026 Edition)
I absolutely love this Midea U-shaped window AC! It cooled my room almost instantly, and I noticed a huge difference within minutes of turning it on. It's surprisingly quiet, especially compared to other window units I've used, so it doesn't disturb my sleep or watching TV. Installation was simple, and it fit perfectly in my small window, which was a big plus. The design is sleek, the performance is excellent, and it's been worth every penny. A nice plus is that you can control it from an app on your phone. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, quiet, and easy-to-install window AC. ... show more

The 12,000BTU "U" Shaped is Awesome and may exceed expected 550 Sq. Ft. with help of Fans!
Style: 12,000 BTU (2026 Edition)
July 16, 2026 We had to do some windowsill leveling up with ~1/2 to 3/4" thick wood strips for the base brackets and the "U" shaped parts to finally level and slide together with the AC body. We have a 1911 house with double hung windows with weights, plus the vertical wood strips on the inner window called "parting beads" that keep the windows in a track. The "parting beads" made it necessary to cut several boards when elevating the windowsill base, adding boards, so that the base bracket is high & even enough for the "U shaped" part of the bracket frame to slide into & together underneath the AC Unit. Our windowsill depth was about 1" longer than the recommended depth from inside windowsill to outer wall edge (10.5" Max?? ), also an issue, but we worked around it, and reinforced where needed. We also had to remove an antique brass window handle that protruded and was keeping the window from closing into the AC unit "U" shaped area. The side brackets and insulation were pretty straight forward. Make certain your outer support framing and AC unit are tilted slightly downwards towards outside so that all condensation is going to drip out the back- and that one of the black drainage plugs is in place- bottom, Rt. corner looking from outside (7 refills provided)- check after a while that it's dripping. I'm trying to cool more than the 550 Sq.Ft. that's recommended, so it'll take fans, and ceiling fans set to "counter clockwise" to assist...reset the switch so ceiling fan is moving towards the left. The AC has been on for 6 hours in a 750 Sq.ft downstairs that has an open stairway, but rooms are closed upstairs. No supplemental fans yet, but I have noticed a great improvement. I also bought heat reducing window film- for some of the West and South exposure windows.- to be installed soon, hopefully. Today was around 100F, and after 6 hours my downstairs and hall well are very comfortable. The temps will be even better with supplemental fans and window film applied, I'm sure. Thrilled so far about how quiet, easy to use, & how quickly unit has cooled a circuitous much larger space than it was designed for! Midea 12,000BTU "U" shaped AC 2026 has, so far, not only stepped up to, but may exceed many others during a great Cooling Challenge - and one of the most extreme Heat Waves in recent memory- very brutal and health threatening to many. Will update after a fair trial. Thus far: Thrilled!! Thank you Midea!!! ... show more

Love the quietness and efficiency
Style: 12,000 BTU (2026 Edition)
Our old air conditioner was so loud and would only run properly if it was on constant fan. Our electric bills in the summer were outrageous and it didn’t even cool our downstairs very well. My husband researched this brand and type of window a/c unit and was pleased with his findings. He purchased this air conditioning unit because of its efficiency, cooling output, and quietness. It cools our entire 900 sq. ft. downstairs very comfortably without being too stuffy or too cold. We keep it at 74 degrees on the Economy Saver setting and we have had no complaints. It runs much quieter and more efficiently than expected. It was easy to install and set up. My husband just turned it to Economy Saver, set the temperature where we wanted it, turned the unit on, and in no time at all we were feeling cool and comfortable. We recently used it continuously, during a heatwave of 90+ degree days, and we were very comfortable indoors. The remote control is an added bonus too. My husband loves controlling the a/c from his recliner! It might seem expensive at first, but it is well worth the price. We just got our first electric bill since using this a/c unit and we couldn’t believe the savings. Our bill was about half of what it used to be with our old unit. My husband figures that just with the money we are saving on our electric bill the air conditioner will have paid for itself by the end of this summer. Great value for the money. ... show more

The reality of owning one.
Style: 12,000 BTU (2026 Edition)
Oh man, where do I begin? I got this unit at the end of June, and today is September 21st. It has been running constantly for three months through July and August. It works, and it cools. However, its predecessor was subject to a recall because of mold, which was blamed on a drainage issue where water would sit in the bottom. I checked my model number against the recall list, and it wasn't on there; it was off by one digit. I talked to three different people, and finally customer service told me it is user error: you are supposed to clean it every two weeks with some brushes they give you. I clean the filter (it is one of those washable ones you rinse and put back in), but the cover doesn't stay on very well after you take it off the first time; it doesn't want to catch again. They claim they redesigned it. There is still a little water standing in the bottom waiting to drain, which is understandable. All air conditioners collect condensation and drain it off, whether pumped or gravity-drained. But this unit still generates mold. I don't have to climb up and clean the returns in my house, yet according to the manual, they expect you to clean this every two weeks. I think that is just a cop-out so they don't get sued again; all they have to do is say you were supposed to clean it every two weeks, shifting the responsibility onto the user. So here is what I am going to do: I will continue using the unit because it cost $500 and I am not particularly susceptible to mold. I will spray it with hydrogen peroxide as part of my normal sanitizing process. But if you are looking at buying one, look into a mini-split instead. They aren't expensive anymore, they are much more powerful, they have better cooling capacity, and you aren't limited to placing them in a window. You can mount it high on a wall so it doesn't blow directly on you, and if you need to cover two rooms, you can position it to direct airflow right toward the other room. I will not buy another one of these or any like it. ... show more

Remote is trash; otherwise, great unit!
Style: 12,000 BTU (2026 Edition)
The unit is very quiet even at higher fan levels. Installation was a challenge because the kit does not include sufficient material to insulate the window. Easy enough to purchase but an issue nonetheless. So far the drainage has not been an issue and we have had multiple ‘real feel’ days of over 100 degrees, which means I run the unit for a long time at a low temperature. I do like that it is compact and the air blow up at the top of the unit; my desk is at the corner of the unit so it allows the air to circulate above the desk. (Ignore the painting; it’s an ongoing project 🤦🏽♀️). The biggest reason for the loss of a star is the remote doesn’t work. It worked the first day and then didn’t. Not sure why that is, but it’s a bit of a pain for an expensive unit. 1st world problem I know, but I have to get up to change the temp/fan/swing and it takes me away from work. Nevertheless, working great so far! ... show more

Midea 12,000 BTU Window AC
Style: 12,000 BTU (2026 Edition)
This windows unit is amazing compared to my old one. It is extremely quiet and cools down my living room so fast. Instalation was fast and easy. Once I downloaded the app adding my air conditioner to it was simple. I can control my unit with my phone. I also connected it to my Alexa and can now control it thru her. I'm looking forward to getting my electric bill. Crossing my fingers it's lower with this new unit. It was a little pricey, but I have no regrets. It was money well spent. ... show more
