My u-shape midea caught in the recall, found mold on fan blades so I need to switch (i have birds). Been looking at switching to the inverter tech, I read there's no whine as the AC starts and was wondering how they perform overall. The whining is very subtle, but since it's in my bedroom the birds shift every time it kicks on when they're supposed to be sleeping.
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.
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.
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.
