                I want to install this model ac MAW8U1QWT in my apartment. Must I use the top window to slide into the U inverted AC unit or can I use my bottom window to slide into the U inverter?

                Answer This Question

                Hello, Vick. Thanks for asking about the Midea 8,000 BTU U+ Smart Inverter Window AC. The Midea 8,000 BTU U+ Smart Inverter Window AC is designed with a U-shaped channel that allows the window sash to close down into it. This design typically utilizes the bottom window sash of a double-hung window. You would place the unit on the window sill, and then lower your bottom window into the U-shaped channel to secure the unit and maintain the ability to open and close the window freely. The unit fits windows that are 23-36 inches wide and a minimum of 14 inches high. An installation guide and all necessary hardware are included to assist with the setup. Have a great day! Midea Customer Support.

                  Midea U-shaped window units are the most quiet and energy efficient on the market. I have one I use only to cool my master bedroom at night down to 68 degrees. I also have one that I use to cool my garage sometimes in the summer. I just lower the garage door down the middle of the U-shape and seal any air gaps at the top and bottom of the garage door. Works great!

                  Recall was fake
                  I bought two of these units about 5 years ago and then the old version got recalled. Midea Said that I could get a refund if I sent in photos of the units with their cords cut. So I cut the cords and took photos. Then I disposed of the units by recycling them. After about 8 months of going back and forth with their recall customer service (having submitted photos to an email address that their customer service representatives told me to use) they told me that they would not be giving me a refund since I didn't still have the units. I probably spent 5 hours on this and ended up with nothing. I don't trust this company.

                    This has worked great so far, I got it on sale so the price was also great and love that the drainage issue has been resolved by midea, installation was quick and easy with the video. I would definitely recommend this window air conditioner

                    If you’re looking for a quiet, efficient, and smart AC for a bedroom, office, or living space — the Midea U-Shaped AC is a fantastic choice. It’s a bit more premium than standard models, but you absolutely get what you pay for. The U-shaped design allows the window to close around it, which dramatically cuts down on noise. I can have it running all night and still sleep peacefully — huge win!

                    Great performance, but problem with installation.
                    Update: I contacted Midea directly, with photos. Their response is that they are not responsible for installation and that I should contact an installer in my area. I got it installed, I just wanted to point out what I believe is a problem in their design. Original review: I absolutely love this unit! HOWEVER, the installation required me to fabricate a spacer so the window would close properly. It wasn’t even close. I fashioned a 1x1.3” wooden spacer using my bandsaw. Once I did that, everything else fell into place. I think the mounting bracket was for a larger model, since the bracket extended several inches past the unit on the outside. The unit performs nicely, even better than I expected. It is VERY quiet, and appears to be very efficient. The app has a lot of nice features, but it takes a while to figure some of the features out. Getting the app up and running, and getting the unit connected to Wi-Fi, went very smoothly. I would buy one again in a heartbeat, but I’m hesitant to recommend it for anyone because of the issue I had with installation. Perhaps Midea is aware of this problem and has a fix for it.

                      This newer version is better than the one I had previously. The previous one had a recall and it was moldy and had to be distorted. This one is updated and much more quiet then the previous version and that one was also very quiet. Had it not had a draining issue it would have been fine. New updated look with touchscreen type of effect is nice but I miss the buttons. Sometimes it’s hard to change some settings because it doesn’t always pick up the touch on the keyboard area. The app is also still the same but with the new model the new ac has some new information available to help with the cooling and it will let you know the ac and energy consumption is working or not working efficiently. It will also ask you to check for doors and windows to ensure they are closed to make sure the ac is work for your size room that it is set up in.

                      Change the blue plug to the black plug on updated units
                      * Very important will save you lots of time. i bought this midea u plus 12000 unit two days ago. The instructions does not include the plug change . The video and updated video does not mention this either. There are supplemental instructions i a two page packet that is called plug and leveling guide that tells you to take the blue plug out and place one of the 7 black plugs in. This is crazy that they had a recall and still do not include this in the instructions with the updated unit. Better yet why not just put the black plug in during manufacturing? The unit works amazing. The app is free and does not require a hub like some of the other ac units.

                        I was skeptical about buying another midea U window AC unit mainly because I owned 5 of these over the last 3 years and they were all recalled because of excessive mold issues. I realized they made the change to their drain plug to fix that. Since they had a significant price decrease, I decided to give them another chance. I’ve been really happy with it so far and I would definitely buy more. They are very quiet in comparison to the competition, and I love the fact that you can sync them through Wi-Fi to your phone and turn them on/off and control the temp when you are not home.
