A brushless motor will last longer but it does have to spin up. I bought it and I don't mind the delay at all.

Your room is too big for the unit. The 1200 is rated at 550sqft. I installed mine in a 500sqft and it works really well and cools down fast.

Selling mine. If you have HUMIDITY, just DON'T Bad: 1) Stupid hose placement. Didn't want to drill thru my house so I used a 5 gallon Home Depot bucket I had to empty 6-7 times a day. (Clear hose it comes with gets loose & will flood your floor. Check it OFTEN.) 2) Bulky. Actually... it's massive and ugly as all get out. 3) So many cracks for outside air & the sticky tape is also ugly. 4) Wasn't all that great on my electric bill. Good: 1) The 10,000 BTU cooled my entire 630 sq. ft cabin. 2) Easy to install. I just bought the Midea 12,000 btu inverter U-shaped window unit. Quieter, inverter, space saver, no bucket. WIN! Never again on portable.

How do you clean the filters?

6 batteries

When doing the noise test, the duct should have been connected as specified. Quite a bit of measured noise is caused by airflow through the duct.

That's a fre@kin MASSIVE duct!

I got a 12000 and an 8000 non u-shaped the inverter with heat pump and dry function I already like them waiting to see what the first electric bill looks like. I've been waiting for an inverter window unit with heat pump.

It made my back door white again

So if you don’t have the valve for the soap, does it just constantly spray soap while you’re using it ?

How to fix the mode mine doesn’t turn cool anymore

I needed to figure out how to re-pack mine, it does not work. Your video showed me what I was doing wring, thanks!

Alexa is perfect with this unit, I hate the remote, all remotes and I use Alexa to control ac, heat, lights, Roku, etc. So easy to setup and much better unit than homelabs

I have the 8000 but and it's amazingly quiet. There's times I don't even know if it's running or not because my air purifier on medium is louder than the air conditioner running on medium... I think for your test you should measure at six or eight feet because that's probably the distance the average person is from the air conditioner in a normal home, that's most people might put it at the window to the foot of their bed or to the far side of their bed. Bought mine at Costco for 239.00 and because I had the Costco credit card I get the free extended warranty for a couple years.

I have a few issues with these portable A/C units. One of the major issues with them is.... When you set the desired temperature, say 71*F, and the room reaches that temperature, the compressor stops. This is great, except, they dump a whole lot of humidity (10-20%) into the room before the compressor kicks back on. So far, all the units I have purchased in the past, have done this. Does this Midea do this? (I'm asking if either the 12000 or 14000 BTU units do this) please test if possible) What they should do, is reverse the air out the exhaust, when the compressor has turned off. I'm not sure if window units do this (increase the humidity after the compressor has stopped)!

Take automatic trans out of D, and enable ECT. This should stop gear hunting.

I've been using this same model for around 4 years. I work with up to 480 volts. It has worked greeeeaaaat for me and it has NCV option he didn't even mention 🤷. Just hold down the Select button on any setting and it goes into a non touch voltage tester (NCV)!!!

How can I use this to check a resistor

The hose cover link is for a product that is no longer available. might want to fix that.

Great video, I’m going to be venting this through a door, I have to cut a hole for the vent hose, do you know the dimensions of the hose opening? I can’t find the info anywhere

wow hideous led light things happening fuuukthat

No isolation between the intake and the exhaust is quite stupid.

You clowns breeze RIGHT PAST the critical part - the part that BREAKS without showing us a damn thing except some broken crap on the floor. And the foam is not just to snug up the insert but to block heat. Wood doesn't do that.

I have never used any kind of mower in my entire life and I have no idea how to start this thing. There are no explicit instructions on how to start it for first time users. Why do they assume everyone who buys a lawn mower has already used a mower??? Growing up we never had a lawn mower and I have always rented and never needed one. So how the hell do you start the damn thing??? SPECIFICALLY.

Now that it's warmer, how has this been holding up? I may pick one up for my son's oven of a bedroom (second floor, all day sun, 500sq ft.)

Emporia is just a start up with 30 bros that do a very mediocre business. They treat employees like sh1t, discriminate immigrants and women. I worked there for more than a year, was treated like sh1t, they laid me off for no reason and my goal now is to destroy their reputation. Why? Because this is what bros' deserve. Sh1t people making sh1t business. Buy another brand. Emporia is POOR QUALITY.

It's my understanding that all sub panels have to have a separate bus rail for ground and neutral, did you bond this sub panel? How do you have the neutral, and ground, on the same rail on a subpanel?

After 1 year of use, the bolt is not as responsive to the pinpad.

Great review. Very thorough . I appreciate the work u put into testing

Save your money here. Don't buy this one

Very poor review. You don't test the temp by putting the thermometer inside the unit's vent. 😭 You take the temp on the other side of the room.

You've only had it for one season. Lol. That's nowhere near long enough test. At least 4 years is best

can the scanner do rear brakes retract on some of the cars?

Hy! How often the condensation water must be drained? THX

Two things......PLEASE make a more in depth framed window attachment. #2, unfortunately I suck at things so simple to most but does anyone know a good handyperson in the Los Angeles area who can build a framed window attachment and/or hire to properly install my Midea? I had it installed but it was a weak/flimsy install with many gaps and difficult to easily take down and put back up. Its now down

Just 1 little suggestion, for the viewers in the rest of the world, add mm in with your measurements. America are the only country to still use imperial units so it would make sense to use a unit that the rest of the world uses :)

Why is the A/C unit bringing in air from the outside instead of pulling in and recycling the cool air from inside the house?

Midea is an unreliable brand.

I wanted to like this and I’m sure I will, but I have to take it back because I never got a lid or a cap. Bummed ! Thanks for the video. 

I am NOT a fan of this tester. It's lack of user programmable defaults i.e. permanently begins with AC, 5 min auto shutoff, constant "beeping" (also shown in the video) makes this tester annoying to use. Stay with the Fluke - it's a MUCH better unit.

Ive got the Whynter 14/12k version of this on the way in about a week. This video has me really worried about breaking tabs now 😅

Begging pardon, what is the name of the paint color you have on your nice house? I'm purchasing a pressure washer to prep to siding for a paint job. The washer is why I'm here, but I might get a paint-color idea too!

I have a 14,000 BTU version and it cools the entire 2nd and 3rd floor lofts of my house. Works very well but it recently started leaking and I can't tell what the issue is, the drains all appear unobstructed. I even stuck something in there and there is no debris clogging them. I only ever use cooling mode but it leaks tons of water. I finally got a tub to set it in, but I'm afraid of electrical problems if it's sitting in an inch of water. Edit - Finally found out that it's the "Dry Mode" drain that has been leaking. Which makes no sense since I only use cooling mode and cooling mode is supposed to drain out of the bottom drain. I don't really understand the problem but now I have it draining into a bucket and the unit still cools very well which is what really matters. Very annoying problem though.

What happened to the link to Midea's video and tutorial you mentioned at 2:13 in the video?

Anyone considering the Midea U should compare to the "GE Clearview" line.

Before when i was playing fortnite I used to get 2493fps but with the Ac1300 I get 240 fps

Thanks man, my girlfriend thought the electric button tester was for something else, now she can use it to test live wire while she working on the AC systems.

I just installed mine. It's quiet, however the fan does not blow air very hard. I have fan on high. I see some brands saying they can blow air up to 20 feet. Not this one lol

66 degrees is room temperature to you?

Sorry .. you got this for free?.. it review. SUSPECT
