Just finished installing my new Midea U air conditioner. Thank you for this instruction video, it was very useful (combined with the included instruction manual). The support bracket, side foam, and overall sealing are very well designed! My only (small) complaint is that there was slightly not enough window sealing foam. My Side Arm Foam pieces were cut to 7.25 inches each and I followed the instructions to start the window sealing foam slightly above the bottom of them. Afterwards, there was not enough remaining to cover the bottom of the window's lower sash. However, there was only about half an inch on each side that wasn't sealed and I was able to cut off some of the extra window sash foam to stick into those two spots. So functionally, this wasn't a big issue at all. But if a Midea employee sees this comment, I suggest increasing the length of the Window Sealing foam by 1-2 inches.

@@rayzerot Yes. I can type here that it's "quieter" or even the "quietest" window AC unit you can buy, but that really doesn't communicate just how quiet this things is, especially if it's installed in a late model window. It is probably two orders of magnitude quieter than every other window AC unit. No exaggeration, no hyperbowl, it's so quiet you'll wonder what the heck the other window AC companies have even been doing for the last 20 years. They're selling us literally the same units they were selling us in the early 2000's except with a smart chip in them. Meanwhile these guys are selling us this brilliant piece of modern engineering for slightly more money. This AC unit makes a laughing stock of the competition. You won't even hear it running unless it's dead quiet in the room.

Also in the video its worth showing how to slide the AC onto the tracks. I am a handy person so none of these posed much of an issue bit I’m sure others would appreciate a completed illustration. Also I think its worth noting that I still needed to install AC window insulation foam. Every window is different from the illustrations so there are gaps that won’t be covered with the stock foam that was provided.

I have to agree that this was very frustrating to install. I used the video as my primary source, and one missing step (remove the screws before sliding the anti-tilt brackets) plus some annoying finagling with the foam I had to cut (they said to add 1/4" but my measurements were spot on and required no additional foam) were my main sticking points. My window has a roof just outside of it, not a wall, so I had to flip the support arms around to rest on the roof -- thankfully doing so still resulted in about a 1 degree tilt outside (according to my phone's measure app) and tonight is the first real test of it. On the plus side, it is exceptionally quiet compared to the usual window units I buy, and seems to be cooling quite well. The big test for me is going to be whether I get musty/moldy odors after it rains. I'd suggest adding some support arms for different window/roof configurations and a lot more foam/strips for making mistakes with.

The longer bar has to be in to the opposite side hole, making it off center and not the greatest fit on the short side. Add like $10 to the AC for it (not much vs the total cost). Other than that, nice machine! One person in our house likes a really quiet room for sleeping, so this should work perfect. Ty!

I made some quick SPL measurements before replacing another unit with this one. At least on full blast, the midea unit measures somewhat close to the old unit. The midea has a constant low hum, which I prefer to the high pitch squealing of the old unit. My measurements are pretty rough, but I'd say it's a 5dBa improvement with the midea once the room has reached normal temperature again. I think it's funny how the instructions for lipped seals is just like, welp, don't use those two screws because they won't work. I put a 2x4 against my lipped seal and screwed it into the sill, then installed the unit onto that. I wasn't comfortable or sure whether the lips on my sill would hold the weight well. I do think there may be room for improvement - if there was some rubber insulated mounting there may be less sound transfer into the building. The outside angled support arms have rubber feet, but the cotter pins could use a rubber ring or mount. The bottom of the unit could have rubber where it mates with the support bracket. I may have myself to blame because the lipped sill probably transfers much less sound, and not much sound is going to make it through the extension arms. By using a 2x4 I provide a solid transmission path to the building.

This video was very very helpful. I wanted to buy one of 8,000 or 10,000 BTU models in June, but then there was a heat wave and all my local stores were out of them until the start of July! I found this much more time-consuming to install than previous window AC's that I have bought, but I did finally get it installed and going. It's been running for about 30 minutes now, and so far I'm happy with it. 🙂 The window I put this in was basically the perfect size for the short right-side extension arm. I really like that I feel very confident that the AC is firmly installed right now, but I worry it will be even more time-consuming to re-install when I go to do it next year or the year after that. There are a lot of things I like about this (so far!), but I wish it was simpler to install. I do realize it must be quite a challenge to make an AC wish can be securely and firmly installed in the wide range of windows which exist. When I ordered this I expected that next year I'd buy a second one of these to replace the (still working) window AC in another room in my house. Now I'm not quite so sure I'll do that.

We choose these for the security of the window closing in the middle of the unit for safety, also wanted the WiFi to monitor them from across the house. (Haven't explored that yet) Also really like how it doesn't block the other side of the window glass. The windows in the rooms are both 52 inches, well outside the range for the included install hardware. I spent probably an hour and a half figuring out how to fabricate a mounting system using the support arms included in the box. (Well worth the time) And watching the video was helpful, even though I ignored a lot of it, some of the kit wasn't useful with my install. Once I figured the first one out, the second one went in in less than 15 minutes.

@@sylviaheredia7513 I set up the center support bracket in accordance with the instructions, leaving off the side arms. Mounted the unit towards the side instead of the middle of the window, and trimmed one of the styrofoam blocks to fit the short side. I also bolted the lower lip of the inside of the support bracket to the flange at the bottom of the opening for structural security. For the long side I cut and trimmed a piece of lumber with a set of dado blades to lock into the window track. You might need to get some foam to close the gap at the top of the lower window pane, the foam strip that comes with the unit might not be long enough. I'm planning on using a standard cabinet surface latch to lock it in place. I didn't list any exact measurements because your window probably isn't exactly like mine, you'll need to figure some of it out for the differences.

You definitely need the video to install as the written instructions can be a little confusing. I watched the video a couple times (and a couple other unboxing videos) before I started my install. We have a 200+ year old house so our windows are far from standard. I knew in advance I would have to add some wood under the unit for the bracket. I measured the window made the center mark and installed the bracket. Everything was spot on. However when I installed the unit, with it properly positioned, the openings to either side were different - one side I had to cut the foam to 4" and the other side was 2". I guess the storm windows were not installed to center LOL. In our case, the window doesn't close in the U, the storm window does. I don't know that I'd be able to properly install the bracket if I based it on the window instead of the storm. Other that that, very pleased with our unit.

Yes the installation instructions are quite wordy but I didn’t think they were that bad. My issue was that the screws were too big for the holes in the bracket. I have a flat sill and needed to use the 1” screws to stabilize. Too thick to use with the holes in the bracket. Now I have to pray I have the correct screws

My biggest problem is that my window is large and has an interior trim that is too small to put the screws in directly, but if I try to attach the support to the window frame past the trim the arms aren't long enough to reach even extended all the way out. I'm going to have to improvise a bit. But the video did help get me started.

I don’t understand why some people think the installation is complicated. Yes, as you would expect, it took a few hours, but I’m very happy with the results. The design of the unit is excellent, and so is the manual and feature set. Room for improvement? There always is: even if the AC is pretty quiet, there is a low-frequency vibration that’s transmitted to the wall, so it ends up being audible and a little annoying. Another one: all foam gaskets and blocks are of dubious quality/appearance (they scream “Made in China”, which is not obvious for the rest of the excellent unit). Bottom line: I would recommend this product, and I would buy it again for myself, but at the same time I think there is a little room for improvement.

I just finished installation of our 8000btu and just have to say: wow, this is the most quiet AC for the cooling power and price I've experienced. re: the :U" design: being able to open the window while the unit was installed was less of a want than just the promised noise reduction the design provides; but the way the bracket system takes the weight of the unit actually makes installation process much less of a pain over traditionally designed window ACs. The provided foam sealing material took a bit of time to properly size out and customize to the bracket's fitting with my somewhat dated window frame; but once they were in, they sealed much better than what I've experienced with other ACs' "side skirts", plus *none* of the cut-to-fit sealing material or sealing design is permanently adhered to anything but the removeable bracket and unit. That's a really nice feature for folks like me that live in buildings with colder winters, where we're required to remove our window AC units seasonally. And as far as the noise reduction itself, literally all I can hear inside - even when it's running on its highest settings - is just ordinary fan noise. None of the rattling or gurgling *at all*. *Very* satisfied with this purchase.

Agree with the comment below about the challenge with 24in window openings. Not enough holes for the left bracket to be centered. I actually had to drill into one of the smaller holes on the bracket itself and slide that metal clip into the new hole. Shortens the left bracket. In addition for some reason my ac unit was off center. The two tracks on the bottom of the unit are 8 inches apart but had to make thr right bracket 9 inches to the end and the left 7 inches for the ac unit to sit snug on the channels. Was more difficult than expected. Lots of tiny cracks that need to be sealed still. This probably works better with a bigger window.

I was interested in this unit for some time , I finally decided on purchasing it to see if I can fit it in my window opening which was smaller than the minimum opening requirements. 12 " height to be specific, It took about 5 extra minutes to disassemble the window balance, but it was easy.. I really wanted to make a video but I'm not set up for that. Originally I wanted mini split until I was quoted 8k for a single zone system by multiple companies. I purchased the 8 k Midea u shaped unit for under 350 after taxes and its doing a great job cooling 400 square feet of the lower level of my ranch, I would have purchased the 10 or 12k but they were not available for pick up near me.

The hardest part so far is the bracket. My window has a 7" lip below it that makes putting those diagonal brackets against the wall impossible so i'm cutting wood right now to brace it against the ground. A fairly hacky approach but I'll probably think of something better by next summer.

This was one of the hardest and most frustrating installations I've ever completed. My window is not like either window here, in that I live in a 100 year old house where new windows were fitted inside the old window boxes, so I simply could not complete several steps in the instructions - additionally my siding outside made it impossible to get level AND make contact with the wall, so the air conditioner is tilted inward a wee bit, and leaks the condensation water all over my floor. The AC itself is great, but the installation is hell and if I can't stop it leaking, I will have to return it.

It made the whole thing a bit unstable, but since my balcony is on the other side of the window, I thought it shouldn’t be too problematic. But now I want to buy a second unit and this time there is no balcony. Are there longer arms available? 2- maybe because it wasn’t perfectly leveled (see point 1), some water was leaking from time to time. Does a perfectly leveled unit prevents that? Is there a drain ?

Jean, you do not want any window AC to be level, or worse, tilting into your dwelling. Window ACs are meant to be installed with a slight grade tilting out of the window towards the ground (the part of the AC you see in the room should be slightly tilted towards the ceiling) so the draining of water sucked out of your room drips outside and not in. You have probably installed your unit with the tilt angled into your room rather than towards the ground outside.

They might get away with it, I have 40 year old Sears Kenmore plastic frame little suitcase a.c. that still works great with those same flimsy fins. They almost lőők like Christmas garland. I clean it thoughally with hot soapy bleachwater each preseason & post season (before storing it in a strong plastic bag I pull a vacuum on before sealing.).

I agree. First thing I thought of. But I think I could get handy with a leftover microwave or fridge shelf and make a "protector" for it.😁😎

Mine will not go into AP mode. Pressing the connect button only beeps, but the AC does not display "AP" and the app will not connect. There is no factory reset option and Midea customer service is no help whatsoever; they keep asking about what type of phone and Wi-Fi channel when the problem is with the device itself. Now I have a "dumb" AC. Super quiet though, plus I love the fact I can tuck the curtain behind the AC to block out all the light. You can't do that with regular ACs, unless you install light blocking panels.

Took my time, nice and slow - 1 hour. Knife, Pencil, Philips head #2 and the ability to read. Super easy. 5/5. Good product.

My window is 54” wide, how do you improvise for larger windows? I don’t have Facebook!
