Midea 5,000 BTU EasyCool Small Window Air Conditioner - Cool up to 150 Sq. Ft. with Easy-to-Use Mechanical Controls and Reusable Filter, Perfect for Small Bedroom, Living Room, Home Office

I really like this unit. It has efficient heating and cooling. It's easy to install. Quiet and does a good job. The heat pump will shut off when it's below 41 f. I have found one exception to this. If place in a window over a south facing concrete porch. The sun is lower in the shy in winter. This allows more of the sun to hit the cement. Under the porch roof. It absorbs more heat during the day and radiates it off at night. This unit will capture that heat and continue to heat when the rest of the air temp is below 41f. This really does extend the heating past the 41 shut off temp. The opposite is true in summer. I have a wood stove for when it's below the operating temps. I live in Arkansas on top of the mountains in Solgohachia. I currently have just one in the center of a 16X80 mobile home. I believe 3 of the smaller 8000 btu would heat and cool it nicely. It's surprising how well just 1 does. Currently heating the living room kitchen and dining room. I don't know how as it says it only produces 7000btu of heat and uses about the energy of a 1500 watt space heater. It's almost Christmas. For me the low white noise of the unit is relaxing for sleep. The filter catches a lot of dust and is easy to clean. I plan to get 2 more. Possibly one being the 12000 btu. I Got the 12,000 btu for my mom and it also does great. With the option of good affordable zone comfort. I prefer this over central heat and air. I like it that much. Just have supplemental heat when it's too cold for the heat pump to work.

After central heating and air went completely out of service last summer, I have been forced to look for alternatives because replacing the outrageously expensive central A/C is financially impossible at the moment. So, I have bought Frigidaire, Soleus and now Midea window heat pumps/AC to match or exceed BTU rating of broken central unit. The Frigidaire is the normal (non-inverter) style compressor heat pump. Works FANTASTIC even in sub-zero temps with defrost cycles but is really loud. The Soleus is an inverter heat pump and VERY quiet. It also works extremely well in very cold temps with excellent defrost function. The Midea is extremely quiet would be easily the best of all three but for one fatal flaw. No defrost cycle. It will not work below 41 degrees F outside. If your outside temps never go below 41 degrees overnight in the winter, you may not need a heater at all. This unit would be perfect and by FAR the best window heater/AC on the market if it could only defrost. What were they thinking? They snatched defeat from the jaws of victory here. Update: Sometime this winter Midea did a software update on this unit over WiFi since I have connected to the internet. They MUST have installed a defrost cycle. Because one day it just started defrosting when it was FAR below 40 degrees F. It formerly would give a low temp error code. This means it was software limited to not operate below 40. But now, it worked great even in the mid 20 degree F nights I had this winter. So, I bought another one while I could. Update#2. I did get another one as stated above. The newer one has different firmware, that I cannot update/change from the app for some reason, than the other one and DOES NOT work as well when it goes below 40 degrees F. So it is definitely something about the firmware involved. I have two identical units in the same house with different firmware and one continues working and defrosting LONG after the other shuts down and shows "Lo" error code.

Latest update after summer heat wave: This is a very efficient air conditioner. Buy it for summer use. It blows cool air nearly immediately and runs at twice the efficiency of another brands "quiet" inverter unit. Average daily use in same setting is 2 kwatts versus the other brand's 4 kwatts. This box shaped unit is much quieter than the U shaped unit, which essentially acts like a tuning fork anytime the compressor is running hard. Again, winter use is a no go- it runs the compressor twice as hard (burning 600 watts per hour vs typical 300) and is much louder in heat mode... rumor has it there was a software update to run at lower temps but I would not want to. It's more efficent to remove the unit to keep the wind out. Winter Update: Both of my Midea units are poorly sealed internally. See video showing the strength of pressure change passing directly through the internals of the unit. Video shows the U shaped unit, which is actually the less problematic in terms of internal leaks because of the slim connection to the outside half. Due to this fault, I cannot leave the reviewed heating unit in place through winter to use for heating on mild days. The blast of arctic outside air infiltrating into the house through the internals of the unit defeats any gains from heat pump technology. I will have to remove the shell of the unit to silicone all the leaks. Additionally, this explains why in summer the humidity inside was worse than ever- these units are poorly sealed. I contacted Midea customer service to adivise if there was an internal vent to close. They said all their units are internally sealed and were quick to blame installation. Given that no installation method could cause a constant breeze through the internals of the unit, it is evident that shoddy manufacturing practice is being covered up. As of now I cannot recommend any Midea brand AC. I'm feeling less hurt that this model has been stupidly discontinued instead of improved upon. Original review: Don't fall for the U shape gimmicks. This unit is just as quiet and efficient, plus currently a lower price than the big box store has for the U shaped one. But it has the ability to heat your room using the heat pump for 90 percent of your waking winter temperatures. Heat pumps move heat, rather than generate heat, allowing for much greater efficiency than any resistant coil type electric heaters. Pairs nicely with natural gas furnace running at the extreme low temps. I'll run the window unit in the bedroom at desired temp and leave the furnace on for whole house at my minimum house temp. Pros: 1. Much quieter than that other high profile brand that claims to be whisper quiet. There's no water slopping sounds from the compressor fan. It doesn't sound like a jet engine about to take off either. It's a nice consistent wind whoosh. 2. Are three 12k window units (36k total) more efficient than the single 18k mini split unit that I failed to get a leakless instal 2 years ago? I'll check the utility records after this season is over. Cons so far: 1. it frequently trips the 15 amp GFI on the start of my outlet circuit at start up, with no other draws. GFIs are generally not friendly for high amp draw appliances with built in GFIs on the cord, so I need to run a dedicated outlet for each AC. (The U shaped model does the same thing) Update: I simply removed the GFI outlet and the AC runs fine on the circuit. Again, GFI outlets are notorious for tripping appliances, even under a correct load. 2. There's no real temperature control when on dry mode... Blew thru the original setting of 72 and brought the room down to 67. Would love to see and set to a humidity percentage while in dry mode. Haven't tried the app or remote yet. (Might have humidity display options there) 3. Product arrived dented. Plenty of Styrofoam in the packaging, but this could be displaced by a couple sheets of 3/4 inch insulating foam on all sides to be cut up for window panels. This type foam would be much stronger protection for packaging too. Update: The dent is not noticeable once installed and has not affected the performance at all.

Enfría muy bien un cuarto de 3x4, fácil de instalar, no ocupa mucho cuidado, bastante resistente a la interperie y no ocupa mucho mantenimiento

لا أحبه كونه لايعمل

انصح بالشراء جيد عيبه الوحيد ان الكهرب 110 تحتاج محول من 220 إلى 110

Hasta el momento ha funcionado muy bien !! enfría muy bien mi cuarto !! recomiendo comprar un soporte para empotrarlo en la ventana, yo instale unas escuadras para sostenerlo y en 20 minutos ya estaba listo !.

It is very loud but other then that is does a good job.
