I bought this one week ago. It worked well until yesterday when it stopped cooling at all. I turned the unit off, waited a minute and turned it on again. It began to cool almost immediately.
Every new electronic device I purchase I test for EMF emissions, and the Midea Duo 10,000 BTU failed miserably. It gives off what I consider to be dangerous EMF levels, especially for a unit that is suppose to only cool 450 square feet or roughly 20' x 22.5". That's a fairly small space for the levels of EMF I found.
I even installed an external EMF shield and the levels I still considered to be too high because in the area I want to cool also has other electronics that also put off enough EMF that when they are all combined its far too much to spend much time in, much less for hours at a time during the day and maybe 8 hours at night. Without the shielding the EMF levels are ridiculous.
I can't believe United Laboratories certified this unit for use by the general public.
And the only ostensible purpose of the EMF emissions I can think of is probably the blue tooth to communicate with the remote control, which I will never use anyway. So, for that feature alone the value of this rather good A/C unit causes it to be worthless. I even consider it to be dangerous, likely harmful to my personal health in the long-term.
I don't believe human beings were not made to live in the EMFs we find everywhere these days, especially in almost all electronics we buy in stores.
I'd love to keep this unit but I'm not going submit myself to these levels of EMF for hours upon hours every day. That's nuts.
Who could care less about a remote control for a unit that only cools 450 sq ft? That makes no sense at all.
