Worked like a charm

Needed this little unit while waiting on part for central air repair. Easy to set up and cooled my bedroom easily. Didn’t need to drain any water while operating in the cool setting; was concerned since other reviewers noted having to drain but I think that is in error. I live in S Texas and it is very humid and still no water to drain as it likely evaporates itself out in the cool setting.

The best product

Perfect to use if your air conditioning is broken. Perfect to use by itself. Perfect to use a a supplement to AC in a room when the temps are 100+ . It cools a 12 x12 room fast to 68 -70 degrees with the door shut within 20 min. If the door is left open 9 -10 inches, it cooled the room, not to the set temperature, but helped to cool the dinning room.living room and hallway. It is perfect for 1-2 rooms. My understanding (dont get upset if i am wrong) media is a chinese company that makes some whirlpool products and some whirlpool parts. There is the background for the quality and function of this product.

Excellent portable A/C unit

We purchased this portable A/C unit when our aging HVAC system bit the dust during hottest 2+ weeks in July. I took over 2 weeks to get the new HVAC system ordered and installed. During which this portable A/C unit kept our living room at a comfortable low 70 temp/low humidity, even though the living room is open on one end (no wall). This made it possible to survive comfortably, even sleeping in the living room, if needed.

it was heavier than I thought. I was hoping to bring it up and down the stairs. At 60lbs I'm unable. But in the bedroom, at low fan, it cooled the room from 81deg to 74deg in 20 minutes .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we did not get to install it because from the pictures we did not realize you needed a hole or window to run the hose out. Landlord would not let us install

Hi Melisa, thank you for reviewing our Midea 8000 BTU SmartCool Portable Air Conditioner. We're sorry to hear you had some trouble during installation. Just to confirm, the unit does need to be vented through a window. Have a great day! ~Midea Customer Support

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It definitely cools the air but needs continuous draining somewhere to work. It only stays on for around 25 minutes before the tank is full.

Hello Danielle, thank you for reviewing our Midea 8000 BTU SmartCool Portable Air Conditioner. We apologize for the draining issue you're experiencing with your unit. If you would like to drain the unit continuously without having to drain the drain tray, you can connect a standard garden hose to the upper plug. The drain hose will need to be sent to the drain hole or sink to drain. In this case you do not need to move the unit to drain it; However, the unit only uses gravity draining with continuous draining, so the hose must be lower than the unit. For further questions or concerns, please contact us at digitalsupport@midea.com. Have a great day! Midea Customer Support.

Easy install nice portable ac unit

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well and a lifesaver in my apt with nothing other than ceiling fans! Heavy to get inside but easy to set up. It makes noise but all indoor ac units do. You can change the fan to reduce noise.

Works till it doesn't

Worked for only a few weeks and then shorted out. I hooked it up to a drainage system and followed all of the warnings but it still didn't last long. Huge waste of money.
