Great features!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Midea 8,000 BTU SmartCool Air Conditioner is a great addition to my basement. Getting it out the box and setting it up was fast and simple. I was excited to use the WiFi and voice control feature. I was able to set it up with my Alexa and turn the AC on when I am upstairs. It cools the whole basement in under an hour. The air can me directed in 4 different ways and the fan is a great bonus. The remote is a great bonus and the Energy Star is something I look for in all my appliances. I'm very happy with this AC.

Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this air conditioner. This is a bit heavy, but it was easy to install. A bit time consuming with install and then connecting to wifi etc. Keeps my big living room and kitchen cold. The remote works great especially for those lazy days!! I would recommend this AC!

Difficult to install and...

The blue display light is so bright it has disrupted my circadian rhythms. It was so hard to install and is still not in there correctly. The window screen doesn't fit as stated in the sales description. Lastly, there were no WiFi instructions in the manual.

Poor Quality and Customer Support

This company does not back their product. Had unit for 3 days, and the symbols on the control panel rubbed off. Called customer support did exactly what they told me to doe. They played the waiting game. When I contacted customer support , they did absolutely nothing to help me, other than a can speech. Support representives where very unprofessional, they told be to take the product back where I purchase, get a refund and then buy the product again. Now why would I buy the same product again, when this unit has a design problem . I read over 100 reviews about my same problem, and they were told to do the same.

Very powerful!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This AC packs a lot of punch! Very easy to install by myself. I put it in my bedroom and it not only cooled my room but the surrounding rooms as well when I left the door open. I love that it's easily controlled without Google Home. It's almost to simple to use. I love this unit and highly recommend it. Thank you for making an amazing product!

8,000 BTU - Great Window Unit

INSTALL - Fairly straight forward & only req'd a few tools plus a drill for 1/8" pilot holes for the 1/2" metal screws to secure in place. Took approx 30 mins from out-of-the-box & in-the-window operation. Took another 30 - 45 mins to install gaskets / tape for sealing purposes + setting up the SMART App & Alexa. TEMP - First day of use in FLORIDA Spring (5/31/20) - 96F & sunny! Put it on 62F to get a 300' SF room cooled down. Took about 2 hours but it worked great & blows very cold air! Thermometer placed at vents registered 61F & you could feel the cool air 10' - 15' away from the unit. REMOTE - this little unit also has a remote to help you control the unit's temp, mode, fan speed, etc. so you don't have to get-up ... of course, if you have a smart phone, read on ... SMART APP - This took several tries & 2 devices. USE ONLY 2.4ghz WiFi signal when connecting to your home network & the AC network OR you will NOT successfully configure the unit. Even after doing this several times, I ended up switching devices from my iPhone 8+ to my iPad. I kept getting "Internal Error" when attempting to move on from Step 3 after successfully connecting to the AC Network. I downloaded the same app on the iPad, logged-in, followed the same set-up as before - Viola ... SUCCESS on the 1st try!! Once connected, you can activate Alexa & to use voice commands from within the house or from your iPhone Alexa app for "scenes" if your home is SMART configured. You can also use the MIDEA AIR AP. This has some nice user interface from background color to let you know which mode your AC unit is running as well as the ability to control / set temp, mode, fan speed, etc. There's also another feature that allows you to set up daily / weekly routines for all the various settings too; PROS: Cold Air! Easy DIY install for most folks!! SIMPLE buttons!!! Remote & SMART iPhone App capable!! CONS: Needs bigger "side-screens" for larger (> 36" wide) window openings.

Cool and nice technology

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I obtained this as my home does not have central air and heat. It works wonderfully and cools our home immediately! The built in technology is a perfect upgrade to this. I will purchase others for the other rooms but for a small one bedroom this is more than sufficient.

Fantastic Product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Air conditioner starts cooling whatever room you have it in very rapidly after turning it on. It's very quiet while running. It's very energy efficent. Easy to set up. Has a handheld remote and a cell phone app that makes operating the air conditioner even easier than a manual one. Has extra features that many other brand of air conditioners don't, like 3 speed fan, eco mode and an easy to service filter.
