Midea 8,000 BTU Smart Inverter Air Conditioner Window Unit with Heat and Dehumidifier – Cools up to 350 Sq. Ft., Energy Star Rated, Quiet Operation, Electronic Controls, Remote Control, White

I bought this since I really liked the functionality of a previous Midea unit I bought for my shop, but didn't care for the u-shape style.This one is 8000 BTU, and also has the heating function. It is basically a heat pump in a regular square window unit form factor. I bought it to help cool the bedroom, and heat function was just a nice "bonus" that I didn't plan on using. I installed it early April, and the temps dropped the next day. I will say that the heat function works very well, and while the literature says 41 degrees F (5 degrees C) is the minimum outdoor operating temperature, it seemed to work down into the upper 30s (around 2 to 3 degrees C) on a couple nights.In the app, this model actually shows up as a "split unit" so you know it's a real heat pump.ProsCold when you want itWarm when you want it (within reason)Much quieter than the generic "on/off" style window unit it replaced (this one is inverter driven)Scheduling and long distance operation via Wi-Fi and the app is pretty easyIncluded remote works wellThey include locking screws and insulating tape for installation. The top groove and side blocking pieces are included, but you have to attach themConsIf you have sensitive hearing, you'll hear the high pitched whine from the inverter systemMy LED lights on the same circuit as the AC flicker in a slightly annoying wayIn auto heat/cool mode, the "dead zone" AKA "hysteresis" is a bit too small. The system will switch between heat and cool a lot if the temperature is close to targetUnit was a bit wider than the old AC, and I had to get creative with the side blocking pieces and insulating tapeAt certain frequencies, you may get some vibration in the wall/window from the AC. I get it a bit, but it's usually while it's speeding up so it only lasts a few seconds. The manual states this happens due to "weak walls." I live in a double wide, so maybe?I'm really being a bit picky, because overall I'm totally satisfied with this unit! I like that it only runs as hard as it needs to, and the 8000 BTU size is great for a medium bedroom and bathroom combo. I strongly recommend it so far.Overall power draw is typically between 200 and 400 watts while running, it does seem to use a bit more power in heat mode and gets close to 500 watts at times (according to a KILL A WATT meter)Stand by is under 2 watts

So far it's a great complimentary unit. It's a bit on the heavy side for one person to handle. I was able to follow the picture instructions. The remote is great, the app has more features you can adjust.The central ac went out and I found this all in one window unit to be a great temporary fill in until I figure things out.I don't find the unit to be any louder than the portable fan we use to circulate air at night. And I'm able to turn off the LED lights for a better nights sleep. The fan is strong even on the low setting it circulates air well. The sound it makes is soothing to me.I haven't tried the heating as of yet since it's spring going into summer.I would recommend

if you like QUIET this is the AC for you! I am still so blown away at how I can't really hear that it is on. We purchased another window AC for our bedroom, and it sounded like a truck was coming down the block when the compressor would go on. I was so frustrated, so I researched quiet AC window units. WE returned the other model and had this one delivered through Amazon. AND it really keeps our room super cool and comfortable. I hope if this is your goal you see this review and purchase this model. EXCELLENT purchase.. VERY happy customer! 😁

Good luck receiving MAW08HV1CWT undamaged via UPS...corners bent and grill broken. Mine also did not arrive with the correct side up. My unit's heater did not work putting out heat in the mid 60s. I cannot evaluate AC because it was 60 degrees outdoors. Midea customer service located in Jamaica is pleasant but not very helpful in my case. I lost 2 days of my time on this AC/heater. Amazon takes a long time to process refund even after they receive it back and Midea customer service said to return it. Amazon claims a month to process return after they receive it is reasonable. I really wanted this unit to work....on paper it looks very good and I researched it plenty. Could have more packing. Wish I could have bought it local in California.
