Midea 12,000 BTU EasyCool Window Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier and Fan - Cool, Circulate and Dehumidify up to 550 Sq. Ft, Reusable Filter, Remote Control, 12000 BTU

I ordered the 12,000 BTU air conditioner. It’s great and cools my room very fast. The best feature is how easy it is to clean and lightweight. Also the remote control is easy to use and the handbook is super easy to understand. It’s worth what I paid for.

Ac was A two man project!! Works awesome and am very happy with it, just in time for the hot weather!!! Love it

July 2023 update:The Power outlet it was plugged into and the unit's plug fused together, melting and scorching the plastic yesterday. I will try to fix the A/C and replace the outlet, but I already ordered another one of these units. There's a newer version that is 17 lbs lighter than this one, which means it is not as good. Fortunately the 75LB version is still available.UPDATE 20 July 2020: We had an extremely hot June and July and used this heavily to good effect. Then we lost power for a few days and I ran it off a generator since that can't power the central air. Putting the machine into maximum power non-eco mode, I ran it continuously, closing the upstairs doors when we were downstairs so that it could try to cool the whole house. It couldn't of course do that, but it took the temperature from a humid 90 F down to 77 degrees and not so humid during the hottest part of the day. That's impressive. It's been a year and the unit is still doing well and we're glad we have it.ORIGINAL REVIEWYou can't have it all. This (the 12,000 BTU) unit is a heavy duty machine. That's a good thing in the sense that they have not skimped on cheap light weight materials that won't actually cool at rating and that won't last. Also, while this machine is loud even at the low setting, it puts out a massive amount of cold air with a strong air flow at that low setting. The good news on the noise is that its a consistent lower pitched rumble rather than the highly annoying variable racket that cheaper models will have. Still, I think that if you mount this in your bedroom, you are going to have problems sleeping until you get used to it.About that, 12,000 BTUs isn't really meant for a bedroom, is it? We're talking about a 550 ft^2 rated unit, so what exactly is the use case here? The upstairs of my house is about 700 ft^2, and the central air is utterly unable to cool it. The upstairs hallway, right at the top of the stairs has a window where in I mounted the unit. I built a wooden frame to support it since it's 75 lb weight would have crushed the vinyl window. Because of the weight, many bad words were uttered during the installation, however the frame I built really helped me do it alone, because of leverage. The gap sealing materials they provide are very helpful, the best I've ever seen. The steel bar that goes across the top is helpful for both sealing and stabilizing the unit in the window.So, how did it work? I used low power and pointed the vents up and over, with the hope that the cold air would move down toward the bed rooms rather than uselessly go down the stairs which are right next to it. This is where the weight and noise pays off. The gigantic fan sends a tremendous volume of high speed cold air down the hall and into the two open doors there. A kind of convection occurs such that the rooms cool off. I was surprised by this, I thought the ceiling fans would be required to facilitate convection, but they were not. The machine just puts out so much cold air, so strongly that the whole upstairs is saturated quickly.It may be that we end up running this for an hour before bed and shutting it off, as once the sun goes down the temperature is not so bad in Michigan where we live, and that way we are spared the noise. As I said, you can't have it all, but the sheer power of this machine gives you options.PACKAGING: Place the box face up if it's not already. After you cut the plastic straps, lift up on the box. You will smile at how thoughtful the design of the packaging is.

While I can't say much because i just bought this, I will say this thing is way better than my previous ac unit. I had a toshiba smart ac, same btu rating, and that thing went out in 2 months. I kept having to spray it with the hose to get it to work. This new one instantly cooled off my non insulated attic. The last one only cooled about half of it when it was working properly, again, same btu rating. I will say the only con, so far, is the remote and app. The app doesn't work for me at all. Maybe its something to do with IOS, but many reviews say the same thing. The remote is a little laggy at times, but i have no problem using the buttons on the unit itself. Plus, I feel like the remote doesnt have enough buttons??? The noise level is perfect, however, I have tinnitus, so noise is good for me when sleeping. All in all, I think this unit will be able to deliver what my old unit fell short on. I will update at the end of summer for my final thoughts. Hope this helped if you stayed to read the whole thing :)

We have had this unit long enough to know how energy efficient it is and we probably won't have it long enough.The noise level is just almost unbearable. It drowns out the TV so we have to turn it up loud, thus making conversation difficult. At this point it feels like a total waste of money. As far as cooling the area, it just barely covers.We have the bigger one in the back of the house. The U shaped unit and love it. Our plan was to add a new unit to the bedroom as well. But at this point, we wo t be doing that because there would be no way to sleep with this noise. It is ridiculous and if I could get my money back I would. Even if it would be alot of work to pack it back up and return. I am disabled so finding someone to help install was a challenge and then to uninstall would be just as difficult.I am just disappointed amd won't purchase then again, nor would I suggest anyone else do so without really doing your homework first.It is seldom I leave a negative review but it is truly warranted here. I tried to contact their customer service and they referred me back to the four-year extended warranty with Amazon and informed me that my warranty with them was over. The girl named Jessica at customer service was not helpful everyone I speak to ask me to turn off my air conditioner so they can hear me on the phone and this lady says "oh I cannot hear anything". I don't abide people lying to me I would totally suggest not purchasing this unit or anything else from Midea. That is hard to say because in the past I have bought so many things.

I keep my air conditioner in my bedroom and I leave the bedroom door open. Just using an oscillating fan at the doorway keeps my entire house fairly cool and fresh. So happy with the purchase. My home is about 750 ft.² This unit does the trick

Haven't installed it yet, but it appears to be a good one, with lots of features.

I don't think I have ever in my life ran so fast to make a review on a product. My HVAC went out & we got a portable AC unit (also 12,000 BTU) that was fighting for it's life to keep my living room cool. My husband just installed this window unit (12,000 BTU) about 30 minutes ago & hunnnyyyyyy it has done dropped THREE DEGREES in here!!!! I must say, this was money very well spent to hold us over until our HVAC gets repaired! 10/10 recommend! Now, it is a bit louder than the portable one was, but the noise ain't nothing crazy. I'd say it's just the sound of any ole window unit.
