Customers like the air conditioner. They say it works well, has a good WiFi connection, and the remote works well. The WiFi connection works well with Google Home or Alexa.

Midea 12,000 BTU U-Shaped Window A/C Review
Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2022Style: 12000 BTUVerified PurchaseSo, I hate summer. Some people get SAD in winter, I get it in summer. I just hate being hot. But I also hate how loud my 12,000 BTU unit was. I had to choose between watching a movie or having it on. No fun. I bought this after reading a review in the newspaper. I then researched other of these new saddle-style units plus some traditional units that are supposed to be quiet. I settled on this one mainly because I could get 12,000 BTUs and the others tapped out at 8100.
Set up is about as difficult as putting together IKEA furniture. I did it in about 20 minutes. The process is pretty logical. I do recommend watching the video provided by the company and maybe googling some other install videos by other users. I watched a couple before beginning and I think that helped. I do recommend that you own a level for this project. The instructions say you should and I agree that it really isn't optional for this project.
I was able to install it on my own, and I am a weakling, so single people can do this. However, I probably would have preferred to have a helper just to lift the unit into the window.
It is quiet. I am so happy with the noise level. I tried watching a nature documentary on a lowish volume and could still hear David Attenborough's sublime narration. This is the feature I was most interested in and it delivers. It is also more attractive than your standard window a/c, which is a bonus.
The company waxes poetic about being able to open the window with the unit in. I have to say that while that is doable, it probably isn't as practical as they make it out to be, namely because the screen (at least on my window) has to be up so opening the window would let in bugs. It is lower profile and narrower than my other unit, so I do get more window and light, which is nice.
My only worry is the reviews on here that discuss condensation pooling and causing mold. I have only had this a day, so I will update this after using it a bit. Reading through reviews and talking with my spouse, any A/C can suffer from that problem, so it might not be a midea problem, but time will tell. As far as noise and efficiency, I am very, very happy. Hopefully this coming summer will be less depressing. I will still try to find a job in Maine. Or Alaska. Or maybe Norway. I am not built for swampy summers.
Edit after using this all last summer: I still love it and bought a second unit. I will note that the second unit arrived and stopped working soon after -- something probably got cracked in transport so I don't think it was Midea's fault. I put in a claim and got refunded the cost, which I appreciated it. I replaced that second unit and now have two of these beauties in my apartment. I did not have the condensation problem people mention in other reviews. I am no expert, but I think that issue might be due to installing it in such a way as the unit can't drain properly. I was very careful to get the angle just right and used a level (you really do need to own a proper level for installation -- buy one with your order if you don't already have one).
But after a summer of running this living in a hot and humid location, this was worth every penny. It cools very well and efficiently. It almost feels like I have central a/c. It is also very quiet. Even on high, I can hear myself think. I recommend this A/C to everyone I can.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2024Style: 12000 BTUVerified PurchaseIf you're on the fence about replacing one or all of your window units with a Midea u-shaped AC, don't be. This is hands down the best window AC I've ever encountered and I've been living with window air conditioners for almost 15 years now.
The best features are, in my opinion, the noise level and overall look/size.
We have two of thees 10k BTU models in each bedroom and one 12k BTU in the living area and both are so quiet you barely notice they are running. The high fan mode rarely kicks on as its so efficient but even when it does, its about as loud as the low fan of any other AC. When it's on low fan mode you literally do not hear it at all. We used to have to turn the AC in the living room down or off when we watched TV or had dinner because it was so loud, and I'm happy to say we never have to think about doing that anymore. I have temperature and humidity monitors in each room and these ACs keep the room at the set temperature very consistently. They are usually running all the time, which means they go from low fan to medium/high to keep the room cool. This is nice, as they are not powering off and on like our old ACs which is loud and hard to sleep through. I was and still am absolutely amazed at the noise level of these!
The other thing I love about these units is the size and look. Our old 12k -14k BTU ACs were absolute monsters, even the newer models. There was no way one person could lift them and they barely fit into our pretty large windows. This 12k BTU model, by comparison, is super lightweight and attractive and just so much easier to install and take out in the winter to store without sacrificing BTU power. All the Midea BTU models are the same overall size and weight which is a huge plus.
A lot of people complain about the installation process but I honestly found it very straightforward. I highly recommend watching the Midea installation video on youtube which is very detailed and helpful. Once you have done it once, it's very easy!
The only two things I can point to as cons are the remote and some occasional vibration noises. The vibration happens only with one of our units and is only on occasion. A quick slap on the side of it usually makes it go away, I think the fan might be a little misaligned at times but it is not loud and, like I said, only occasional. The remote is the other downside, but I don't really use the remotes anyway. It's very huge for seemingly no reason and makes it hard to store anywhere so we ended up just getting rid of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Air Conditioner with Window Access.
Style: 12000 BTUVerified PurchaseTakes a little more time to install then a regular one but well worth it. 15 Seer Energy Efficient. Less noise with compressor on the other side of the Window. Treat yourself for Sure.

4.0 out of 5 stars worth the money
Style: 12000 BTUVerified PurchaseI am thrilled with this purchase! I bought the 12000btu unit. You may think this unit is pricey, but its worth every penny. It comes with a safety bracket, so no messing around with blocks of wood or purchasing one separately. Now, the good stuff. Its VERY, VERY quiet. I can barely hear it running on full power. It takes out the humidity and cools my 1200sqft area perfectly. On a cool day, I can open my window and let the breeze in. It is also compact. If you compare dimensions of other units with the same BTU...this one definitely takes up much less window room. The only reason I didn't give this unit a 5/5 is It took more time to set up than the video suggests...but there are lots a safety features...so well worth it. Cheers to the future of air Conditioners!! Thank you Midea.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unit does only blow warm air - after complete installation
Style: 12000 BTUVerified PurchaseWe have installed the unit according to the manual. Nothing complicated about the setup, just takes some time. The original support brackets did not fit our window. Purchased a different support brackets from Amazon. The surprise was at the time of starting the unit. Only warm air! Should have tested the unit before installation. Noise level is good, as the compressor is outside the window. This type of A/C is never pretty from the outside. Unit has a remote control and able to connect to smart phone. This is all good and forward thinking if the basic function of cooling works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works Great, Setup not so great
Style: 12000 BTUVerified PurchaseWorks good. Installing wasn't very hard. I could not setup the wifi using my Pixel phone it keep getting an error when it was trying to connect it. I had to use a samsung phone to get it to work also there was no app in the store on my tablet. Depending on you device it might have issues with the setup. Once connected worked great and google home could control it wonderfully.
