    We have 1500 sq ft hot water heat (so no ducts for central AC) in a story-and-a-half-old home. Wet have used window AC's since 1988. 10 to 12,000 BTU's units installed in the upstairs window. On 80+ days with 80% humidity, with the blowers on full blast on the lowest setting, we maybe could get some cool air on the main floor, but it sounded like standing next to a jet airliner at takeoff. Then I read that this U shape Midea 12,000 BTU was quiet. I bought it. It works on 80+ degree days with 80% humidity on the automatic setting with a whisper-quiet fan, and it cools the whole house on a 67-degree cooling setting. AND, our electric bill is half what the others monsters consumed. If it only lasted one season, it would be worth the $. Don't make the mistake of getting another window hanger, Step up to the U Man.

    I'm a national VoiceOver talent and a comfortable studio is so important! My VoiceOver studio is on the second floor of my house and our upstairs HVAC has been underpowered since installed. We recently completely lost our upstairs AC and I bought this Midea as an emergency replacement to keep the studio cool while we get a new house ducted HVAC installed. The Midea has been great, cools my studio like it has never been cooled before, and is actually quieter than my central whole house vents ever were, and a quiet cooling system is a MUST for a VoiceOver studio. From this point forward, I will be using the Midea U-Shaped window unit as my main cooling unit for the studio. Plus it looks great! By the way, install was only a few easy steps and even though 2 people are recommended for install, I handled it easily on my own. Thanks for making such a great product, Midea! If you ever need a VoiceOver for commercials, training, install videos, whatever...then look me up because I will be voicing about a product I believe in!

    I am 73 (female) and set up this unit by myself in my garage window. The garage is 650 sq ft and it's a cool 72 degrees. I make baskets out of rope and have to work with 900 degree soldering irons. When it's 100 degrees in Texas in July it's not possible to work in a garage without suffering. This AC unit is the answer to many an old lady's prayers. So easy to install. I only needed my son to lift it in place and I did all of the rest. Thank you.

    This is working well during a recent hot spell in the San Francisco Bay Area with daily highs in the low 90s. We have this in a 2nd floor bedroom window and our house is a "tiny house" with no ceiling insulation at all. The 2nd floor used to be like a pizza oven during hot snaps but this unit is doing a great job keeping up AND it's super quiet. Wish we bought this a few years ago!

    I have a 'split-level' home, with bedrooms on the upper level, and no central A/C. Over the past 16 years of ownership, I've used a window unit in the master bedrooms west window and have had to clean out bird nests & debris from the sill every fall, to the point of the sill becoming unstable for further A/C use. Purchased this, placed in the south window, and with the glass down most of the way, will hopefully make the birds find a tree, rather than a window, otherwise more extreme measures will be taken...

    I love my 12000 btu Midea U AC. I bought it to use in my camp as it hiad a high efficiency rating and I am off grid. I had been using two 2000 watt inverter generators to run my fridge and small (6000 btu) older style ac unit at my camp as if I used 1 the generatorwould kick out at times due to overload when both were running. Since I bought the Midea U 12000 btu unit I use 1 2000 watt generator and have never had it kick out with both the fridge and ac on it. In fact I run it on eco mode and it barely ramps up just for a second or 2 when either the fridge or ac compressor initializes. I get 10 hours of run time off from a single gallon on fuel. Did I mention I use this to cool down my whole camp instead of just one small room with the old ac we were using! Oh and it still powers my lights and tv etc... Yeah this ac rocks so I bought another for my house in November for the up coming summer months 7 months away.... I then bought another in march for my moms house to beat the rush of summer back orders.....I love, not like this ac unit! They are awesome for my needs! I will be buying another for a rental I have sooner rather than later. No hesitation.

    Awesome is cooling 1000sqft of a 1400 sqft house at 77 degrees . I have the main ac set at 77 so the main ac is only coming on 20% of the time saving me 80% off my main ac unit In dollars amount $200.00 a month:) . We also drilled a 1/8 hole in the bottom back corner so it holds zero water making any mold issues gone!

    I am writing this later then I wanted to because I hurt my hip and couldn't place air conditioner sooner but happy to review today. I love this quiet air conditioner. I have never seen one where you can open window after it is placed but with the bracket it makes it possible. It also has a remote and works with smartphones too. You won't be disappointed it works wonderfully.

    This design is genius!!! The U design allows for the window to close with a 5 inch opening which is awesome. Also this type of shape lets you open and close the window instead of being stuck in one position for the entire summer. It is a very streamlined looking air conditioner that looks great in any room. It was extremely effective in keeping the space cool. The air smelled fresh and was at a consistent cool. It is not very loud, just a comforting hum. Will be getting these for other rooms that need a cooling boost.
