About Midea U Inverter Window Air Conditioner
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
94% found it quiet enough, whereas 6% didn't
I love how quiet this window-air-conditioner is. My old window unit was so loud that it interrupted my TV and Stereo time.
When running on low level, the AC is quiet, but when it automatically powers up to a higher level, I hear an annoying, low-toned rumble for a few minutes. I have never heard a traditional AC make a similar sound.
92% liked the cooling capacity
Initially unsure if the 12000 btu would make a difference, but it made a huge difference. The central ac kicks on 1/4 off the amount it used to. I faced the problem of the central ac freezing over due to being overworked trying to keep large areas cooled. But after using this air conditioner, all areas are now at 72 degrees on the spot.
This window-air-conditioner is much more efficient than my 20-year-old ducted A/C unit. The newer inverted and double inverted window A/C technology is similar to running efficient mini-splits but without the need for any special wiring or installing of two parts of each mini split. The seer on these is 15 using a regular 110-115 outlet, making it one of the most efficient window units ever made.

76% were satisfied with size and weight, but 24% weren't
I faced issues with the remote control as it only works when standing immediately in front of the AC. If this is for a bedroom, I will have to get out of bed for any adjustments unless the bed is right in front of the AC.
I face issues with the window handles, which need to be removed/reinstalled each year so the sash can slide into the U-groove.
I faced issues while reinstalling the AC, which required reinstalling the screw-in metal bar and figuring out the foam pathwork puzzle.
79% appreciated the installation ease, yet 21% found it challenging
Installing the new window units takes 15 minutes and they are a bit different from the old style units. The instructions are good and they are saving me a lot on my electric usage.
Installing the AC took over two hours due to the length of the metal bar and foam insulation cuts needed for a custom fit to the window. I faced difficulty in doing it myself.
