Hi Kim, thank you for reviewing our Midea 8,000 DOE, 12,000 BTU ASHRAE SmartCool Portable Air Conditioner. This unit is designed for enclosed spaces up to 350 sq. ft., so if your porch is open or poorly insulated, it might struggle to maintain cool temperatures. Have a great day! ~Midea Customer Support

I recommend this AC. It’s smaller than most which I like and still works great and gets my entire living room and hallway cold.

Fresh air!

Cooled the house down with no problems. In Maine we don’t have air cause most the time we don’t need it.

Junk

I don’t know what genius decided to put the drain a quarter inch off the ground but you need fired. Don’t bother with your support message.

😑

Window kit is trash I think it was missing part, and the drains put out a lot water, consistently draining buckets.

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

Do not ever buy this

Junk. I got this less than two months ago and I have to set it up high so it can drain into a five gallon bucket overnight. In eight hours the bucket is over half full. How can you design an indoor unit that needs to drain and have the drain two inches from the floor? Then it started putting out more heat than cool about a week ago. It's 83 in my house but 72 outside right now. The hose leaks hot air where it attaches to the unit (it's done according to instructions) because it fits loosely. When I cut it off it smelled like something burnt. Filters are clean, the hose goes straight to the window with just the slightest curve upward. I recommend that nobody ever buy this trash. Oh, the digital display used to work all the time, now it only works when I change settings, then cuts out. It worked ok for a month and a half before acting up. Just long enough that you can't take it back to the store.
