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.
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..
Never a single hose, dual hose inverter unit if it must be portable (Inverter units can be quieter and use less energy because they don't just blow at full power unless needed) I would get a window unit if you can. make sure you get the correct size unit. My midea doesn't leak, but I don't think that's actually a wide scale issue lol.
