Frequently asked questions

The Midea 8,000 BTU U-Shaped Air Conditioner is deemed smart because it has the capability to connect to WiFi. This allows it to be controlled remotely through a mobile app and it is also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

The U-shaped design is not only unique but it includes many benefits. Predominantly, it allows users to open and close their window without affecting the air conditioner. This brings an increased level of convenience and flexibility that isn't typical in regular units.

The Midea Air Conditioner features an inverter, which is a device that controls the speed of the compressor motor to regulate the temperature continuously. This creates a 35% energy saving compared to traditional non-inverter units, thereby lowering electricity costs.

While the Midea 8,000 BTU U-Shaped Air Conditioner is recommended for spaces up to 350 Sq. Ft. for optimal performance, it can still effectively serve a slightly larger area. However, the cooling might take longer or not be as effective in areas a lot larger than the recommended size.

    • Top-rated, most energy-efficient, quietist A/C - if you can find one - but installation's tricky
Size: 12000 BTU
Review Image by Steve L. Steve L.
Consumer Reports lists this model as the top-rated 12,000 BTU window A/C you can buy, by quite a bit. Perhaps that's why the model is sold out almost everywhere for the time being, and Amazon only has them from third-party sellers at $300 over the list price. Even so, if you absolutely have to an air conditioner this season, it may be worth it. What makes this model and the two smaller models in the product line unique is the way the inverter/compressor and air circulation unit are completely separated from each other. In a sense, this is like a mini-split A/C, but fit into the form factor of a window unit for those who have no way to mount a mini-split in their home. We live in a high rise in NYC, so a mini-split is definitely out of the question. Also, most mini-splits require a 220v circuit, which isn't available in our post-war building. The Midea U runs on a standard 110v circuit. The Midea U is the first window unit to meet the latest Energy Star efficiency standard, being more than twice as efficient as most models. That said, the SAR rating is is comparable to the least efficient mini-split systems. In other words, the most efficient window air conditioner you can buy right now, which is this model, is equivalent to the least efficient mini-split air conditioner. If there is any way you can install a mini-split A/C in your home, it will likely pay for itself in just a few seasons. If you live in a high rise and can talk the management into installing central air, even as expensive as that might be, it will likely pay for itself compared to using window units. However, if you have no choice in the matter, this is the one to buy. When it comes to installation, the instructions are fairly minimal and a bit confusing. Complicating matters is that Midea requires the use of their proprietary mounting bracket (included) - otherwise the warranty is voided. That can be a problem in New York or any city with restrictions on mounting over brick. We got around that by installing the unit over our terrace, where falling bricks aren't an issue, but not everyone has that option. It may be worthwhile getting something in writing from Midea that they will honor the warranty, should an alternative mounting bracket have to be used by law. The supplied mounting bracket is significantly longer than the air conditioner and was probably designed for use with other models. For some, that may be a problem as it may stick out too far. Since the unit's on our terrace, the bracket was decidedly in the way. It's not possible to saw off the excess, as that would compromise its integrity. Instead, I took up the slack on the inside by using a pair of T-brackets to shift the mounting bracket back to a more reasonable position, which worked quite well. The mounting bracket is designed to attach to the inside of the window frame on both sides, but that's a problem if the window has multiple segments, as is the case with ours. We have a large picture window with double-hung windows on each side. Therefore, there is no inside to which to mount the bracket on the right side. As shown in the picture, the mounting bracket is left just hanging in mid air. The way I secured it was with a spacer and a long screw to mount it to the window sill below. The window itself serves to separate the internal and external portions of the unit from each other. This isolates the vibrations of the compressor, making for an exceptionally quiet window unit. However, there are spaces on both sides that still require insulation, for which white foam insulating panels have been provided. Unfortunately, there's barely enough insulation to do the job, and our window was far from the widest for which the unit was designed. Be prepared to buy more if needed. Also, there is flexible memory foam provided, but it's black and the foam panels are white, which isn't a good combination. Worse, there isn't quite enough memory foam, so be prepared to buy more, preferably in white. There are gaps underneath the A/C that are easily missed, through which air can get through, and possibly bugs. Be sure to take the time to plug these with additional memory foam. Finally, there isn't room to use your screen, so if you plan to open the window on a nice day, you might want to build your own screen to fit the available space. In operation, the unit works extremely well. It's quiet, efficient and much better at cooling the room than our last one. The interface takes a little getting used to and the unit has it's way of overruling your choices so as to provide more effective cooling. It's actually easier to use the smartphone app than the included remote control, but again, there's a learning curve. Setting up the A/C with your WiFi is tricky, but reliable once done. You will need to broadcast your SSID, which most people do - otherwise, the Midea will lose connectivity. Living in a high rise with dozens of WiFi networks in range, I would have preferred otherwise. If you have the expertise and live in a similar situation, I recommend getting a router that lets you restrict WiFi connections to those you specify (MAC address filtering). The smartphone app will work with multiple units, so if you install more than one of them, you'll be able to control them all from one location. ... show more

    • Very good unit; many pro's, only a few cons.
Size: 12000 BTU
I bought this unit to replace a standard LG 12,000BTU window unit. The LG unit was 6 years old, had served us well and was still running perfectly, but I was looking for something quieter, better looking, and that had a smart app to be able to run it on a schedule and also to monitor and control it when we're not home. This unit checks all of those boxes and does the job very well. I love that it comes with a window bracket and all of the foam necessary to install it nicely. The unit is definitely quieter than a standard window unit. It is essentially only the sound of the fan that you hear, and just barely a dim drone of the compressor/condenser on the outside of the window. No need to turn this machine off or down if we're watching TV or eating dinner in the room, like we found ourselves doing often with our old unit. If you put the fan on low, this thing is close to silent. The app is very nice and works well too, I don't have any complaints and there's nothing more that I wish it had. I have the unit plugged into an energy meter and it's pretty efficient - So far through June & July, it has cost about $20/mo to run. That's pretty good - it's about the same, but not better than my old unit. I thought that this u-shaped unit would be more efficient because it's actually smaller than my old beast LG and also because I run it on a schedule, it's on Cool-Eco-Auto Fan during the day and I turn it off completely at night. Figured there'd be some savings there as a result but it's still about the same. There's only two observations or cons that I wanted to point out: First is that this unit is noticeably less powerful than my prior LG unit. That LG cooled my entire first floor with ease, on Low. It would freeze us if we put it on high and set the temperature down low. I never ever felt like it was having trouble keeping up. This U-Shaped unit seems like it is just barely adequate for my first floor. It is definitely doing the job and keeping us comfortable but it's not icing us out. The second observation is that I notice that on Cool-Eco-Auto Fan, it never really reduces the fan speed, it seems to keep the fan on high speed constantly. I'm not sure if that means it is barely keeping up and it needs to run at high constantly to maintain the setpoint, or if that's just the way that Auto Fan setting works (I know that the compressor is cycling on & off as necessary on Eco mode, but I thought it is weird that the fan speed never appears to cycle). This unit is physically smaller than my prior LG, which I was surprised about since they're both 12k BTU. The size may not actually matter for cooling capacity, but I do notice the performance difference between the two so I wonder. The wonderful advantage of it being smaller is that I can carry and install this unit by myself, where my LG was a two-person job. Another con that people should be aware of is that the inside-portion of this U-shaped unit actually protrudes into the room about 6-7inches from the window sill. While it doesn't look bad, it does "take up space" in contrast to a typical window unit that the face is pretty much flush with the window sill. I chose to mount this unit in a different window because of this "noticeability" factor. In summary this is a very good unit that I think most people will be happy with and want over a traditional unit. It's quieter, looks better, has a great App and is energy efficient. If your need is for a beast of an AC unit, this may not be it depending on the size of your space, but I think that this is more than adequate for most purposes. ... show more
