I got this Midea Duo from Walmart refurbished last year for my bedroom and it's great. I live in the SW desert where it can hit 120° F. No problem, no leaks, no emptying (also no humidity to speak of where I live) Easy install (It *is* 75 lbs heavy, but on wheels), Wifi/Alexa compatible. It feels like a real workhorse that should last. The price was right too.

I have one from 3 years ago and it's great. Only difficulty was hooking it to a casement window so I paid TAP Plastic to cut a sheet of plexiglass for it.
I use a Midea MAP14S1TBL to cool an entire 600 square foot apartment, and it does it admirably, and quietly. High fan speed is the loudest noise it makes. On my third summer with it, I've never had to drain it.
I have Hisense 8000sacc for bedroom and Midea 12000sacc for living room. Go with Midea. I have them both scheduled through app Midea on during day, Hisense at night with a fan period at the end of the cycle for each. Midea seems to more consistently output cold when on auto/thermostat. The Hisense does, but it ramps down noticeably more often when it hasn’t yet reached target temp while in auto/thermostat mode.
I also think the Midea 2 in 1 hose is more insulating to minimize the heat radiating from the center exhaust hose compared to two standard hoses with Hisense.
Regarding directional flow: The Hisense vent direction is remembered during scheduled power on, the Midea doesn’t seem to, I have to manually adjust it when needed or it blows more up.
Neither of mine are heat pump models, ac only.
