Because it looks nice, I purchased one 12000-BTU for me and one for my son. I didn't expect that both units worked for two years only. According to the code that came up, there was a loss of refrigerant. I contacted midea customer service, and basically, they told me that there is only one year warranty even though the owners manual states that the compressor has three years warranty and the seals have five years warranty. They didn't offer any help trying to resolve the case. Really! brand new ac designed to last only two years. Basically, I spent $ 1000.00 for two pieces of garbage. I have a unit made by Sharp, and thankfully, it is still working after about 25 years.
@@vacexpert2020 i keep trying to find videos of that but i bet its going to be like those fridgidare window heat pumps that used to exist that 5 people bought lol. probably never will see one
@@DabblelyDiddly @DabblelyDiddly I own the heat pump model (MAW12HV1CWT). Got mine at Costco in 2022 for $339. Like a lot of "heat pump" (reversing valve) models, this feature will not work below +41 degrees f. It is intended as a "supplemental" heat source. I have not really tested the heat function as we get below freezing here quickly. If you live in a mild climate and just want to take the chill off the room, then yes, it's a good feature. Otherwise, skip it and go with the non-heat pump. It may just be another thing to malfunction.

@@antoniosgarlata5181 this one was only $300, so if it lasts 2 seasons I'm fine with it, it really just has to last until I can get central
is it the heat pump model?
No
