Midea 5,000 BTU EasyCool Small Window Air Conditioner - Cool up to 150 Sq. Ft. with Easy-to-Use Mechanical Controls and Reusable Filter, Perfect for Small Bedroom, Living Room, Home Office

Works great so far. We've had it for several months. It does leak a TON of condensation (in very humid South Texas), so you'll need something under it outside. We just put a plant pot, and that looks/works fine. As for cooling, it makes our living area cold when it's 90°+ outside, so I'd say it works. It's not going to cool a whole house though. We have one in the living area, one in a bedroom, and we need one in another bedroom at the other end of the house. Three would keep a 3 bed house cold.

I bought this for my garage. I live in Alabama. It is March 7, 2023 and was 86 degrees today. This air conditioner was delivered today, so you know I had to install it! Packaging was easy to remove. Now, I must have the world's smallest window in my garage. It's an old, metal frame window. When I read the description, it seemed like it would fit perfectly after measuring my window. The unit itself fit no problem. The issue was the side panels. It was just like an inch too big horizontally to fit my window. However, I remedied this issue by cutting an inch off of the left and right panel frames. Doing this allowed it to fit perfectly. The height was fine. The screws it comes with are kind of junk, but they work for what you need. Also, the mounting brackets didnt work for me, but again, I have some crazy windowns, apparently. So I made my modifications, installed it, and turned it on. Initially, it made a lot of noise kicking on the first time. Now it's quite quiet. It's blowing out some seriously cold air. I am in the process of insulating my garage (already did the garage doors, working on throwing up the panels on the rafters). I think this is going make working on my cars during the summer exponentially better. I don't know how it will do in the full blown summer yet, but I have high hopes. It will at least be tolerable. I'll update in a few months if anything goes wrong with it. Side note: if you want to insulate your garage with insulation panels, go to Lowes over home depot. I got Poly Pro 3/4" thick 4' x 8' panels for approx. $15 a piece. Just use a sharp utility knife to cut it and gorilla glue hot glue sticks to mount it to your garage door panels (you'll need to put blocks of the insulation panels on the garage doors before you install your cut panels or else the height won't be right. You'll know what I'm talking about if you go to do it.) Thank me later.

Wow!!! I got this small window unit (intended to cool only 150 sq. feet of space) for the living room of my apartment to replace an older GE unit of the same specs that had died after only 1 year of use. I had honestly never heard of the brand Midea before and was a little skeptical, but noticed all the positive reviews and decided to take a chance on this. So glad I did! Despite its small size and specs for "only" having enough BTUs to cool 150 sq. feet of space, this little unit is an ABSOLUTE BEAST. (Note: I am using it in conjunction with a 10,000 BTU A/C on the 2nd floor of my apartment.) My entire apartment is around 1,200 sq. feet. By using a 10,000 BTU A/C (which happens to be an LG brand) on the upstairs floor and this 5,000 BTU Midea unit on the 1st floor, I am able to maintain my entire apartment at a consistent temp of 66 degrees.....even when it is 90 degrees outside. Pretty impressive! The Midea definitely outperforms other brands of the same BTU that I have used in past summers. For example, with previous (other brand) 5,000 BTU units and the exact same configuration (i.e. - a 10,000 BTU unit running upstairs and a different brand of 5,000 BTU running downstairs), I have only been able to get the temp in the apartment down to 68-70 degrees, depending on how hot it is outside. Again, the Midea --- with the temp outside between 85-90 the past few days --- has been solidly maintaining the temp in my apartment at a crisp 66 degrees: pretty impressive! I am supposing that when the temp outside rises to 100+, it may creep up to 68 or so (we shall see), but even so, this little unit is already performing way better than any other previous brand of the same BTU. The other thing I love about the Midea is the speed at which it brings the temp down the first 2-3 degrees. Consistently each day, when I start the unit, the temp in my apartment comes down by 2-3 degrees within the first 20-40 minutes. That is fast! Thereafter, I have observed that the Midea continues to bring the temp down by about 2 degrees per hour, bottoming out at 65-66 degrees, a very respectable low temp. This holds true even when we are cooking in the kitchen 20 feet away, or working out in the living room (generating body heat, etc.). After such a positive initial experience with this brand, I have purchased 2 more A/C units by Midea --- one other 5,000 BTU, and also a 6,000 BTU. I highly recommend this brand for the price. As I said before, it clearly outperforms other brands at similar BTU levels. Only drawback is it's a bit noisy, but honestly I will take noisy for this level of cool comfort.

So this product does do what it's supposed to do and that's cool my room very well. It was relatively easy to install, I put it together with the manual and installed it myself in a few minutes. Took at little while to get used to the settings but I eventually figured it out. It has a high/low fan setting and a high/low cool setting on one knob, as well as a separate knob for how much cooling you want the unit to do (you can choose between 1-7). I've closed my door and windows and set it to high cool and the max cool setting (7), and my room temperature went from 81 degrees to 73 degrees in about 45 minutes (photos attached). On the same settings I think I went from 84 to as low as 66 after probably 2 hours a few days before writing this review. Also, my room is pretty much a square. I believe the walls are all 12 ft long and 8 ft high. Definitely measure your room to make sure you're getting the right size AC for it. This unit says it cools up to 150sq ft, so measure the length of 2 walls and multiply them to get your square footage. Mine are all 12ft long so 12*12 = 144sq ft. Depending on the temperature outside I either keep my 2nd window closed if it's the same temperature or hotter outside or I might open it if it's cooler outside. If it is cooler outside than it is inside (like at night) then you can just turn on the fan, which I believe will push fresh cool air from outside to the inside of your room instead of running the AC's cooling unit. I use my phone to check the outside temperature and then have a cheap battery operated thermometer that sits on my desk inside my room to tell me the inside temperature. I've attached a video so you can see and hear the unit for yourself. Only reason I am giving this 4 stars is because of the noise. It's doesn't make a whiny noise nor does it sound like anything is mechanically wrong or broken, it's just that the fan is louder than I expected, even for the lower setting. I kind of wish it had one more setting where the fan was running at about half it's current lowest setting to maybe cut down on noise a bit more. But it's nice that I can crank it to high cool and the max cool setting and close the door/windows and leave the room for a bit, then when I come back I can turn the fan and settings down for a bit and be nice and cool. Sometimes it gets so much cooler that I even have to throw on a hoodie. One more note: I also run a gaming pc in my room which drastically affects the temperature, so these newer temps with the AC are while my pc is on and running. Without that the AC unit probably can cool a room of a similar size even easier. But again, other than the loudness of the fan it does work very well.

So nice to have this delivered ...great quality, works perfect for the size of the room! Easy to set up. Small enough to store. Just need one person to lift.

Used this for my bedroom and cools the room without any problems. Great value

Honestly, I haven't wanted to post a review about this one. I had high hopes for it. I spent a lot of money on it and within a month the insulation had eroded away. I always wait to review products first to see is there are solutions that I can make to solve issues myself before bringing then to the public. That said, I am allergic to mold. I have the had this installed for a while now, it was wonderful at first, did exactly what I needed it to do. Within 6 weeks it started to sag despite having support, it started forming algae and mold around the outside that slowly crept into the vents from the outside. The batch of these air conditioners that I received must've had faulty sealant in it's insulation. I wouldn't recommend this product as it's damaged my home and cost me more than it was worth to begin with. I wish that I had a better update for this product but overall it's a bust for me. I lost out by making a poor choice purchasing this. That's over $800 I could've saved by not purchasing this product. Also condensation settled and pooled at the base of this product damaging my window sill forgetting the cost of damage. Don't buy it.

Five stars because it was cheap, and it worked many long hours last summer to keep my 14x12 bedroom cool at night. It had no trouble freezing me out even when it was well over 100° outside. Thermostat sucks; so I ran it off of a smart switch connected to a electronic thermometer. Not particularly loud, and cheap enough to operate so that it will pay for itself in a little over a year (because I just cool my bedroom instead of the whole house).
