It works GREAT....with EXTRA drainage hoses

This AC will work well......depending on where you live.....NOWHERE on the box or instructions show a bucket or tub are needed for additional drainage in the South Eastern USA where humidity is at higher levels than the desert. It was good that the mobile app notified us that we DID indeed need to install addtional hoses for the condensation drainage....one hose was provided, but the 3/4" hose adapter drainage was not provided. It will stop cooling until drain lines installed into buckets....it DOES explain that in the manual, AFTER purchase.....so, I would highly reccommend this if you DON'T live in the South Eastern United States.....unless you want to add 2 additional hoses for drainage. See attached pics of purchased box and reality.

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.

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.

JUNK

Ran for a few months no issue. Then started P1 error and have drained it every couple of hours for weeks, called midea and did all the steps. Error cleared for a few hours and now won't stop throwing error. Getting full refund
