Looks like Midea is eating more and more of the market worldwide! I'm amazed at those old Heil units, true beasts

[@Andrew_Bdish]

Midea is becoming more common probably because of the low cost.
Vintage units are always a treat to see, thanks for watching!

[@airconditionerandheatpump3474]

@@Andrew_Bdish Cheap but great units!

[@RoaringRecip]

5:48 I remember that one!

[@iowaacproductions698]

Great video Andrew! That Nordyne is actually pretty cool to see in my opinion personally. Nice Rheems too!

[@stephenhouser99]

Great finds & video! I’ve seen that new Nordyne before where I went to college; the one I’ve seen is a Gibson. Actually replaced a new Williamson unit that less than a year prior replaced a York tabletop. Also I have a video of several of those old Heil quakers near where I am with the more square shape running (early 70s or possibly late 60s) I can send you if you want.

Those Brothers air conditioners are also getting common in my area. Great stuff tho

[@NKisilAirconditioners]

Holy crap 💩 you got a startup

[@BRISTOLFORCE2009]

10:13 let’s go, I thought it would be a rotary based on it being a midea made unit

RIP 1994 Armstrong Air

[@musicnerd72]

Who makes Brothers? Or are they their own company? Never heard of them before.

[@CompactHVAC]

They're manufactured by Midea in china, midea central units are under about a gazillion different brands here in the states.

@@CompactHVAC Gotcha... Much like all the rest.... Rebadged.

[@BotvacProductions469]

at 5:04 i stopped the video and the nordyne had swept blades!

[@BotvacProductions469]

[@BotvacProductions469]

my older brother also lives in an apartment complex with his gf, and most of the units there are rheem and goodman units. i think i got a shutdown of a rheem one time with my phone
