Midea - 5,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner with ComfortSense

paid $226 for this.. was the only one available at walmart im using it for my bedroom which is located above the garage my room is a magnet to heat! our hvac is down right now, had to get something. my room is the smallest one in the house: 13ft length by 12ft width. when i purchased it today it was sold laying on its side. i’m really hoping it’s ok. it’s been rough being in the house in california temperatures. hvac companies and my parents’ home warranty company have been dragging their feet and really doing my parents dirty. anyway i’m a bit worried about this thing being sold laying on its side at walmart, hoping it sounds normal too it is a bit loud but has helped with keeping my room slightly cooler. i also noticed when i had it run about an hour on the ‘dry’ setting which is the only setting the remote control allows this thing to run on, it kinda shifts when turning off like it kicks in a way? it’s hard to explain. manually pressing mode on the top, im able to put it on the cool setting.

it works like a champ!!

i got it to work! phew! it’s now on fan, and low!

I have this unit, sounds about the same. Regarding dry mode, you can use the giant (M) button on the top of the unit to cycle the various modes. When in cool mode, the temperature displayed on the top of the unit is the set temperature and not the current sensed temperature. There should be a mode button on your remote control to cycle the modes too. Regarding the unit being sold from the store on it's side... I hope it was standing upright for a few hours in your home before you managed to make it produce any cold air at all..

Y como lo drena vino con una manguerita pero el mio no para de gotiar

El mio lo acabo de comprar sale mucha agua

Yo estoy batayando  con gotera

Man that compressor is brutal.

It’s so so loud. But I get it. It’s necessary. It was within reach.

I just put the Midea back in the window over the weekend, though it's the more expensive one Costco sold in 2023 with the heater. It's a bit loud when the condenser kicks in depending on mode but did the job. Had a second Midea like the one you linked last summer and the Dry function didn't work. Called Midea and they said to take it back to Costco and get my money back, no questions asked. What's your room size? One is 12,000 and the other is only 8,000. You don't want it too big for your room.

I got this same unit for the same price, but mine has this constant rattle sound. Does anyone have any experience with this and have a way to fix it? I'd rather not return it because frankly it was a huge pain in the ass to get home.

Got the same one from costco and makes gaming in my upstairs office cool during the hottest days of summer! And no water drain!!!

350? Shit this unit was like 450 at my Costco. Returned for a swamp cooler, its colorado so swamp cooler works wonders.

I have it in my living room right now with vaulted ceilings. Keeps it 72 at 100 degrees outside so far

The Midea can pull 1200W easily when it's cooling the flat down on boost mode. Normally it's running around 300-500W when keeping the temperature stable. 24° 65m2.
