[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received this amazing air conditioner yesterday, my husband installed in one of our living room windows super easy to install it took him about 20 minutes to do so. This thing can get a space nice and cool! We have a pretty large first floor space, we got the play room, the mud room, then the dining room, the living room and the kitchen plus the guest bathroom, he plugged it in and automatically I could feel the nice cool air, it has a temperature setting on where you want it set at, plus a remote control, you can also programmed it through your phone if you download the app, and the best thing is that is noise less!!!! Super quiet you won't even notice it. Is the BEST AIR CONDITIONING in the market you won't be disappointed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, let's talk about install. This goes in nothing like your typical window unit, obviously. It's got a support that hangs out the back, and points to secure it to the frame. And your window can close over it, though not all the way obviously. There are dense foam blocks though that actually do seem to block outside noise. So anyway, install. It's different. The printed directions made no sense to me at all. They were skimpy and mostly pictures. Fortunately there's a video, with a qr code to take you to them. The video makes it easy. The only part I was left confused on was the center track piece. I wish that had gotten a close up. It took two people to install, and went fairly smooth. I don't know how long it took us, but it wasn't super long. And now that we've done it once I imagine we could do it again in minutes. So basically, watch the video. Can you actually open the window with this installed? Yes, yes you can. Ours is on the second floor and I feel quite comfortable opening my window. It feels very secure. Definitely an upgrade from our old unit. Form- it's pretty sleek looking, and you can turn off the display! I hate lights in my room so this is a huge bonus. Function: Yeah, definitely works. It cools my room in minutes, and will get it cold enough to satisfy even the hottest sleeper. Plus it takes care of humidity. My room is so comfortable now, and even the hall and bathroom and cooled. It's a little beast, and I haven't even tried lower temp settings on it.

I was intimidated when I unboxed it, but a friend sent me a YouTube tutorial she found and lent me her drill, and before I could say this heat wave is killing me, I was lounging by the window in a pleasant 75 degree breeze that sounded the same as all the fans I'd been roasting under all last week. This is such an awesome design, and it looks nice in a prominent location in my little apartment. My window is slightly too wide for the included brackets, but I adapted using all the tons of foam and other extra installation materials they include and didn't have to purchase anything. It's a heavy unit so I recommend following their instructions for two people to actually place it on the installed support brackets. But I didn't have anyone to help, and I'm a woman and I managed the whole thing myself. I'm convinced the bad reviews are phonies from other window AC manufacturers who are afraid of disruption. This is the first time I've owned one, and I would never buy anything else. Hopefully they're working on future models for smaller windows, that's the only thing I think might make this not work.

Very quiet, very efficient, very happy with purchase. Cools at night with little noise. The app's reported energy usage is higher than what my "kill a watt" meter is reporting. No idea why. Bottom line seems to be a very quiet, efficient unit.

After unboxing, I plugged the unit up to made sure it worked properly. I then replaced the electrical duplex. My old one was not tight. Watched a YouTube video to install, never opened instructions. Replaced a Haier 5100 BTU. My review after a few days of use: Pros: Excellent for light sleepers. No compressor noise. Nice to have access to window. Nice LED display. Cons: No significant difference in cooling vs the former unit. The Haier has a stronger blower motor. ***I suggest pay an extra 100 here and go with the 12K BTU or Amazon with $25 off coupon. That's assuming the 12K has a stronger blowing motor than the 8K.

The air conditioner was easy enough to install. I watched the YouTube video (video info is in the owners manual). The Wi-Fi connect button did not work for me on 2 separate wireless routers. I downloaded the phone App (barcode in user manual) which I used to scan the barcode on the Midea. This allowed me to pick the Wi-Fi connection and enter the password using my phone. This would be a nice option for the included remote, note to Midea. I can control the air conditioner with Google home, remote, or phone App. When looking for the barcode, I removed the front filter cover and I noticed damage on the cooling fins. The cooper cooling pipes the fins surround seem undamaged, so I am not returning it unless I notice any cooling issues. However, I am disappointed by the damage which had to happen prior to packaging the unit. Quality control should have discovered this and is the only reason for the 4 stars. This is actually a 5 start unit.

Well the assembly wasn't too terrible for my particular setup was more difficult than it should have been with a little engineering of their brackets could have been better but it's okay nothing I couldn't work around. As it is very quiet the fan doesn't blow very hard even on high which was a big disappointment I have the 8000 BTU unit. I bought this size in accordance to measuring my master bedroom so I'm hoping it keeps it cool enough but it seemed to take a long time to cool off due to the fan that pushing it very hard. One of the big drawbacks is that without the side curtains on a traditional air conditioner makes it very hard to pull the shade down as you will see on the sides of the air conditioner because the shade doesn't conform around the AC unit. Neat idea but could have been engineered better.... coming from an engineer. If i could have picked "would you recommend .maybe" that would be my answer

The frame holding the the condenser coil has started to rust after one season of use. This part of the unit should not be rusting as it is meant be exposed to moisture from the drip pan as part of normal operation, not to mention it is exposed to the elements. This is the part of the unit that is on the outside and dissipates the heat created by normal operation. I was really happy with the unit until I noticed the rust. Not sure how long it will last now.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!! I have had this unit for less than a year (purchased June 2021), and the 'Cool' function no longer works. The display panel flashes the error code 'PC 00,' and refuses to work. It's basically a technologically savvy fan at this point. I messaged the manufacturer in the hopes of learning more about the error code and remedying the problem. However, tech support was of little help, immediately offering a refund and no information about the problem. So, while I am supposed to get my money back, I'm currently out of an A/C unit with the summer fast approaching. It was great the few months of last summer while it worked. However, for the price, it should at least make it through the year.

I bought a similar AC unit from Amazon which delivered and installed without issues. I love the quietness and the fact it's U-shaped which is a great design. It also has an app to control and schedule it. This makes it convenient and modern. However this unit i bought from Walmart was dropped at the corner by the shipper. The box looks fishy with the top opened, side punched through and side of bottom box crushed. I wasted almost an hour getting the window setup and when I about to put the unit on the window found it was crushed.
