I purchased the “Midea 8,000 BTU Smart Inverter Air Conditioner Window Unit with Heat and Dehumidifier” in April of this year.
It ran beautifully for the late spring/summer season. As an inverter AC, the unit slowly, quietly ramped up or down. It was so silent that there were many nights that we questioned whether it was actually turned on.
As expected, use of the Midea AC during the summer months resulted in significantly lower electric bills.
I waited to write this review until I got to put the Midea AC heat pump capability through its paces. All I can say is WOW.
It was deployed last week when the temperatures were in the low 50s to high 40s. WOW. It doesn’t give off hot, scalding air. I would describe the temperature as air that is blown off the top of a toaster after a fresh batch of toast. The air feels “moderately heated,” but it works! Over the course of 15 minutes, the temperature of the room rose from 64 degrees to 72 degrees. Wow.
I am very happy with the unit I will be changing out all of the air conditioner units in my home and replacing them with Midea heat pump units.
A few things:
The grill on the back of the unit is RAZOR sharp. I cut my hand lifting the AC out of the box.
It is much heavier than an AC with a similar BTU. To be safe, I would STRONGLY recommend installing it on a wall-mount window support bracket.
As with all modern air conditioners, the included side panel insulation is utterly horrible. Purchase a third-party side panel insulation seal kit so all the money you are saving from using the AC doesn’t fly out of the stock accordion window side panels.

Good, reasonable, fairly quiet traditional window AC unit with heat inverter by decent company.
This is not the top-rated U-shaped Midea model, which is in low supply, one of which I bought in 2023. (So I now have both the U-shaped and the traditionally shaped 12,000 BTU Midea AC window units.) Background: 2 years ago I installed the U-shaped model in the kitchen of our 1910 Sears & Roebuck kit house, a fixer upper, while we lived on just the first floor (600 sqft), and it kept the entire first floor ~72 or cooler (depending on setting) nearly all the time. May have been a day or two it struggled to keep up, but we felt no need for a second unit for the 1st floor. It was SUPER quiet; as quiet as the fridge or ceiling fan, unless cranked up, and most of the sound was the fan. So the U-shaped model was what I wanted for the second floor, but couldn't find it anywhere (within $300 of what I paid before). We finally moved into the second floor bedrooms (last fall), so (mid May) we bought this traditional window box unit (not U-shape), but same capacity hoping to similarly service the 600 sqft second floor. (Yes the second floor was carefully reinsulated during the re-do, and it has efficient vinyl clad windows and thermal blinds. Only about 16' of insulation above ceiling, will see if we need more for summer, but it was fine for winter.) This unit included the heat inverter for heating at temps >41 degrees. It WAS significantly simpler & easier to install than the U-shape as there was no need for an external bracket and bracing, and less complex weather stripping. In retrospect, this model may have been better for the second floor since we could easily do the entire installation from the inside of the house. Took a second pair of hands for the 30 seconds of setting the unit in place in the opening (I'm 71). While this 12,000 BTU unit is perhaps not quite as quiet as the U-shaped 12,000 unit, it is comfortably quiet. We still haven't hit the peak heat of summer, but it seems as though it will keep the entire upstairs sleep-ably cool at night at least so long as the doors are left open. For now it cools fine in the heat of the day up to mid 80's and perhaps more (it hasn't yet exceeded 86 outside). We installed the unit in the SSE facing largest room, and it kicks on about when I wake and morning sun starts to warm my room, and during the day is keeping the upstairs from ever getting within 15 degrees of the daytime summer temps upstairs the past two summers. The heat inverter was nice to use without turning on the furnace for a few nights this past week where it dropped from 80's back to 40's in Madison WI. You many want to supplement the adhesive weather stripping for the two slide out panels, where they abut the inside of the window opening and leave a fine crack (I haven't yet sealed it; the crack is too fine for insects so far), and at a couple places under the unit that did need the provided weather-stripping. I think this is a good buy, assuming it endures. These two units (<$1000 total, 2 hours installation total) appear to suffice in place of the 3 quotes of $10,000 - $15,000 for contractor installed central air in this old radiant hot water heated house with no prior air duct engineering. (Can send my kid to school another year instead!)
