Latest update:All worked to end of cooling season 2021. Amazon finally had a sale and, I got another for the other bedroom to replace the old Kenmore. I will probably move the old Midea to the guest room and put this newer one in the master bedroom. Assuming, newer is better… But, since it is the middle of Winter, not doing that right away. Also, it was not supposed to be delivered until 2022. I hate these unwanted EARLY deliveries. I need this on my holiday charge card like I need a blizzard.----2021 update:I was able to link my Midea window AC with the Skill and therefore, to Alexa. After some time of non function.A few months ago, Midea F-up big time and, many lost Alexa for the AC. In middle of US July heat and humidity! Their Skill rating went to the pits. 2 stars. I lowered mine to 1 star. But, now it is working. I will give it a month and, raise it back to 4 stars. When it works, it works good. But, if it is not working, any app will go back to 1 star.To get Alexa Skill back, I first had to make a new Midea account password. This was one element that was broken that they seemed to fix. The other was the back end server just stopped working. Once I did that password update, I reloaded the Skill via the Alexa app. However, as predicted, the Skill seemed unable to find the AC unit. I ignored it and, sure enough, it had found it. (Why this happens so much across all kinds of devices and apps — Alexa, Apple, dozens of smart home devices, accounts, and other apps — and why the developers do not catch it, remains a befuddlement. I am now trained to just try it one more time then, quit and 9 times out of 10, it did find the device and all is fine.)So now I can say ”Alexa, turn Window AC to 72° F” and it does. Which it did for a whole year just fine, until Midea broke it.----Part 3:Despite the problematic install issues and design flaws I outline below, I like the unit. I have had it for over a year. My worries now is, just how long it will last! My other bedroom AC is a 12 year old Kenmore Energy Star and still works. But, I am so into the quite of this Midea unit, I want to replace it! However:You cannot find this Midea anywhere for a decent price. I began long before cooling season even began and, the price was nuts. When I check a week or so ago, the price was OK but, sold out. Clearly Midea is onto something here and needs to invest in more production and on fixing the various issues all the owners have discussed here!- Oh, one other small thing: I wish it had a fresh air port. The fresh air ports seem to no longer be provided on any brand but are handy when the humidity is low inside (due to the AC) but temp is high. If I open the small port, it sucks in just enough outside humid air into the blower into the room to bring it up a few percentages. Making the air cooler and not so dry. A feature useful in humid summer climates. Just a piece of plastic… maybe a small tube needed to go inside the connecting portion to the outside, for the U design. Diameter of a port is about that of a AA battery or two with an adjustable baffle to control how much outside air gets into the blower stream. Works great. I notice the change immediately. It is, essentially, adding in a little moisture to the AC air.Part 2:- The attached images show a few problems with installation. The large foam piece for the gap has a small ledge on it (rim?) which, the instructions are not fully clear on. But, as far as I can tell from the poor illustrations, it sits up and on the inside. Presumably to be an inside seal on the inside edge of the bottom of the window. The problem on my windows is that, it is just not working. The window comes to a stop at the right point but cannot get past that foam ledge. I added a piece to the bottom to bring it up in height and I think the window is stoping on the bottom of the “U” of the unit. No way to be sure though.- This leads me to the middle of the U in the unit. There are gaps in there. Foam is needed. But there is not dense and flat foam included. I'd be worried the remainder of the window gap foam, which is soft and goes on the inside, would absorb water and cause all kinds of issues. They need to include a higher density foam strip that can be placed on the bottom of the U so the window comes down on that to seal it off. No photo of his problem. No way to get a camera in there!There is also a small gap between the edge of the foam and the side of the U. I jammed some black foam in there (hard to see but in one of the photos closer in). This needs to be improved.- Another glaring gap, perfect for invasive stink bugs to get in or mosquitos, is under the unit. This too could be solved with a proper custom foam insert to slide into all the holes by the two rails and thinner gaps here and there. In the image, it shows that I did stuff some foam in but, totally inadequate! I honestly do not know how to fill this in. No, spray foam is not an option plus costly and hard to use for most home owners.The wood in the photos is to provide a better platform for the unit to sit on, otherwise it would be resting on a thin piece of vinyl window. It does not interfere with or cause any problems as it sits on the window sill on the inside of the home.The app has some UI and UX problems.- There is an option “Boost”. I have no idea what this does!- There is an LED button. This turns the LED and on off but does not provide visual feedback that the light is on or off! (I often run this unit not in the room to cool it down and, the LED will just attracts bugs so, in any mode, I like to turn it off. Remote LED on or off feedback is needed!)Cooling so far: Is quite fine!-------Part 1I need to run it for a while and then, give the full picture.Install IS NOT EASY. I have a design degree and even I was befuddled by the drawings in the manual. Some had obvious mistakes or were so oddly shown, they were of little help.The hardware for the install seems well made but, again, lack of clarity and bad instructions really make it a challenge.Despite taking a week to figure it out before I went past the install of the support bracket, some things are just not well thought out in the engineering for this.The unit DOES NOT center on the window. So if you install the support centered, the unit will be off center. I had to remove it, figure this out (them instructions mention this but, just one buried line, not a call out), and adjust the bracket. Even with that adjustment, the bracket was never going to let the unit seem centered in the window. The system of adjustment does not allow it.Once in and set, the next challenge is the foam. I am a designer so I am going to cut that foam perfectly! NOPE! forget it. The stuff is awful to cut clean. Even with a stainless steel ruler and a new blade, it is not a clean cut.When you slide the foam in, surprise, you need to add some layers to make it work. They thankfully give you those.But then, the WORST part was that when I had to pull the foam out to add to it, the sliding anti tilt bars JAMMED! Ugh. Now it is a second time I have to pull the whole unit out! The bars can jam into each other and totally lock in place. The fix is to take both in your hand and as though it is a steering wheel, turn them to the right. This allows the jam to unjam and they slide fine after.After getting all that fixed and foam cut right and installing. I found that the automatic horizontal louver moving is pretty anemic. Admittedly, I thought it was vertical too. So that whole thing is just a joke. I keep it off but, then the top flap drops down so much, it pretty much keeps the air only shooting out to chest height. Uhh, I want it to go up more to say, face height.The app is OK. It at first would not set up on my network (all Apple Airports) which is not typical of most devices. Usually they just go on and done. But oddly, when I quit the app to try again, it came up ON the network. So the network set up is fine but the app is buggy and does not show it is set up unless you quit it and open again.I have it in an attic like second floor in a Cap Cod home for a bedroom. Just under half the house plan. Needless to say, the BTUs needed for the second floor are about 16,000. So another 8000 unit in the other half of the second floor (another bedroom) do the job. Sadly, a small bath room remains a furnace. Why don't they make a 2000 BTU for small bathrooms? I'd buy it! Better yet, make it a heat pump too. The bathroom is an icebox in winter.It seems to handle average summer temps and humidity well in the Mid-atlantic USA OK so far (one day). We have a 90+ day soon and July is nuts here so, after July is over, I will have a verdict.More to come in update later!
