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.

Stay Cool

The Midea 12000 is a good unit and was very easy to set up. It's a bit noisier than I was hoping for and it's really only efficient for cooling one room, but generally I am happy with it.

Good value and price-works well

For such a beast of an AC unit, I think it could be a bit more powerful. Also, the included hardware and such didn’t work for our size window, so we had to go buy insulation to fiddle with it all. But, once we did, it’s installed and works well. We’re happy with it and would buy it again as it’s the only kind that works with the type of window we have, but it just wasn’t a perfect purchase. But that’s ok. Still really happy with it.

Great unit. Cools well. Lousy remote.

Purchased to ac br at night. Install in double hung window easy. Cools amazingly well. 59f. using ir temp gun. The best way to describe it is equivalent to a hotel room ac. You have two choices running it. Having it on auto where the fan runs all the time and the compressor kicks on to cool or it shuts off and turns on to keep cooling. We keep it running to avoid the jarring noise of turning on. If you can sleep in a hotel, this will work for you. The hose does get hot. We had extra flexible insulation used for tube vent pipes which works great to keep the heat out of the room. The remote doesn’t appear to work beyond turning off the led display at night. Sleep mode does not translate to quieter operation. 5 star for the unit. 1 star on the remote. Remote is really not needed especially for br use at night. Haven’t needed to empty the unit of water. Flow director work great.

Extremely Powerful

The device pulls too much electricity and continuously shuts off my power. It would be great for a house, but not my apartment.

I wanted it to be more cold.

Been using it for a while and expected so much more. Could be colder. Also, a bit loud. I am disappointed.

Great buy

Our A/C went out on the weekend before the 4th of July with 110 temps and nobody could get out for a few days. We picked this up at Sam’s and it kept our 1200 ft 2 story home comfortable. Not cool, but comfortable. It certainly didn’t replace our whole house unit, but it helped. After the A/C was repaired, we moved it in to a bedroom that is historically hot. It works great to keep it cold. The multiple options and settings make this a great purchase.

Loud

It's loud, and we have to send this back because of that. Other than that, it works just fine.
