    I bought one of these for my bedroom and was so blown away by how well it performed, I immediately threw out my living room unit and replaced it with one of these as well. Quietest A/C ever. I can actually watch TV at night again with this running without my wife complaining the TV is too loud. Our A/C is on my side of the bed and was very loud so had to crank the volume or try to read lips or captions. Problem solved.

    I (70 yr old female) spent today cleaning all my windows inside and outside. I then installed two window A/Cs... one in my bedroom and one in the kitchen. Now I have the 12,000 BTU Midea shown in the video to install in the living room. My son and I watched the installation video but I'm too beat to install it this afternoon! My son told me he'll come over while I'm out tomorrow and get started installing it for me! By the time I get home, he'll either have it done (I hope) or I'll be able to help him place it in the window... It is pretty damned heavy!

    I have had a 1 ton Midea cooling an aluminum 350 sqft shed with R7 insulation in Florida and it works great! We don't even see it on the electric bill ($15 to $20/mo in summer), and that is saying something in Florida. It is the most efficient A/C I have ever used and being in Florida all my life I have been through many A/C units. It is the best investment I have ever made. And it is SO quiet that sometimes I have to check it to be sure it is on when I leave the shed. I keep the shed at 76 or 77 all summer long.

    just moved EVERYTHING into that room ( tv , computer , game console , bed , everything ) now that is the room i exist
    in , the only room in the house with a/c , i am very happy with this a/c unit , very energy efficient and keeps me cool
    even tho outside temps are hitting 110 F or 43 C in the shade . it is hot , even at night it stays above 80 F / 27 C so the

    It's awesome that someone thought out of the box with this design. No pun intended. Before we moved to the suburbs we used to live in Chicago on the 3rd floor and I would laugh and have Seinfeld moments when I put one of the traditional units in. I was always surprised that they were never outlawed all together since it's so easy to loose one out of a window. But talk about a safe and convienentveit new design with an easy to install support bracket. No excessive bugs, rain or snow getting in, or outdoor noise with easy to cut foam.

      @@SilverCymbal I appreciate the quick response and honesty too. In the time you had you managed to make a very precise and informative and organized video.
      Part of the reason why your reviews are off the charts is most likely due to a new revival to an old movement.
      In the 50s and 60s people did a lot of traveling and RVing. Around the time of the Pinup era.
      90s kids are bringing that back with a new name. The schoolie movement. Instead of RVs, we use DIY school buses. Hence the “schoolie” name.
      AC is very important. I’m a schoolie member myself which is how I found your video in the first place ☺️
      If you find an AC unit that’s easy for the DIY schoolie person like this one, but better, in the future? Make a new video about that new AC unit. Will bring you more views I’m sure.

    It's a window mini split. Ingenious idea. You can put mini splits in all rooms without blasting through your walls. I would also cut your screen so it goes around the AC so you can have a screen when you open up the window so bugs don't fly in.

    As a day sleeper, this looks like it will solve all my problems. I've tried using a window unit in the past, and it cools very well, but its vents let light into the room. With this, I can just cover up the window and slide the window down. I can sleep in darkness AND stay cool. As long as it cools well, I think I might be sold!

    I used to own a window AC unit that instead of it being cut out to fit the window it sat in the window opening like saddle bags which meant the distance from the top of the AC unit and the window itself was only about 5 inches. To explain better just picture this AC unit being upside in the opening. There was no outside supports needed but you did need to install the blocks of insulation at each side. Of course it didn’t have any of this new AC’s features but it worked very well. Thank You

    The U shape actually isn't a new idea. My grandparents had one back in the 1970's that was the same physical design. It was made back in the 60's or possibly even the 50's. I think it was called a Twin Aire. Every spring and fall I'd help grandpa lift it in and out of the window. The thing weighed a ton. I inherited it and used it for a year or two until it finally died. I could not find another like it and ended up getting one with the slider panels which of course ripped after a couple years necessitating cutting foam insulation to size and duct taping it in place. I'm glad to see someone has brought back this design replete with high tech features.

    I saw this video a while back, as I do all your videos. Fast forward today I remembered it because I have a sunroom in my house about 450sqft
    It has12 windows that open and 4 fixed ones that just let the light in. On top of that it has 10ft ceilings and 6 skylight that do not open. This room is a sauna, it is super hot in the summer.
    The floor is bluestone and they might as well be cooking stones because they retain all the heat the sun hits them with.
    The AC that is suppose to cool this room also cools my living room but there are only 2 vents in the living room and 6 in that sunroom. They do nothing to cool it. If I leave the doors to that sunroom open to the rest of the house, the AC runs all day never shutting off.
    So I close the doors separating it from the rest of the house. I need to cool that room so I was going to get a mr cool mini split system just for that room but the wife hates the ugly unit you have to permanently install on the wall. I’m in northern NJ so we only need to cool that room 2-3 months. It doesn’t warrant a permanent solution. That is where this video comes in, I saw it and thought this is perfect for that room. The 12000BTU Version will do fine and when done I can put it in the basement for next summer!
