Midea U Window AC 8000BTU - 108° TORTURE TEST 🥵🥵🥵

Thanks for the update. Your review has been the most helpful for me.

Really good info! Thanks!

Just wanted to say iv never run into a more perfect video lol. Was thinking of buying this for my room (i live in florida) and my new 7600x + 7800xt system will be on the same circuit and just wanted to see what kinda power draw this had. And you have a video showing it all on a lets burn it down day outside with conputers in mind. Just amazing 🍻🍻🍻😂

Thanks for sharing !(Specially with the wattage usage). Planning on installing it on a camper van and every watt counts ;-)

Would you mind sharing a link to your electric meter tool or describe brand and where to buy?

👍 Excellent video, thanks

When we hit 105 F earlier this week, my 12,000 BTU unit showed as pulling 1168.87 watts. That's the highest I've seen thus far. When we hit 102 F on another day, it checked in at 1033 watts.

can you do a test of how fast it can cool on high settings vs low settings and what temp is the room? and all those interesting values?

That voltage tester puts my Kill-A-Watt to shame. Do you have a link for it?

Could you do a power draw test on dry mode? Even just posting what it settles to as a comment would be much appreciated.

If I remember maybe I'll return in July or August on a nice 95 degree day with 90% humidity to let you know what my 12,000 BTU unit is drawing. I know my 5,000 btu unit draws 9 to 11 amps on days like that, really hoping this unit won't max out at 15 amps lol but I guess I will find out. I sometimes run a fan that's 300 watts on the same circuit as the AC, but fortunately that's all that runs on it, so I can afford to have it draw 1200 watts which is the max I've seen reported from the 12,000 btu unit.

Need advice before buying online. Could I install it in an 20 inch window (door) frame? They say 22-36" But seems like the AC is less then 20" large. So I wonder if it would be possible. Thx for your help!

I bought a 4070TI last January, but I have to say it runs really nice and cool. I've heard it has similar cooling to the 4080 but with less processing it can stay pretty cool, I don't play many cutting edge games and I game at 1080p 60fps (120 if I can get the game to do it lol). I would love to do 120fps a lot but I find most of the games I play actually bottleneck and stutter and drop to 90 fps, so I just stick with 60. Anyways the gpu only draws like 30 to 100 watts depending on what game I'm playing. Typically the core stays in the 40c range and the fans for the gpu don't even run at that low a consumption... It's a happy medium for me, it runs fairly cool, draws little power, all benefits in the summer.

I used Midea Windows Units. They will stabilize once you reach the room temp you programmed...Why it's always a good idea to buy one one size bigger then you think you need..it runs less. Cools faster and last longer. Just clean them once a year with Frost King foam.. And don't worry about Amps used. As the NFPA70 rates the circuits at 100% only when on constant loads. Which for 20 amp breaker is 16.5 amps...That number can be 20 amps for short duration loads like startup and inductive loads...Which only stay on for 1 hour or less..As it's all about heat buildup of wiring...

Honestly the initial draw isn’t too bad when you consider that it will idle at a much lower wattage once the unit stabilizes the temperature in the room.

Thanks for the video. For those of us that are sometimes looking to run off the grid from solar panels is there a more optimum solution than converting from the solar panel charged batteries with an inverter from DC to AC and then convert back from AC to DC with the air conditioner inverter? For solar we have much more limited power. For those with well insulated homes, from the information in your video, I'm wondering if I should be running the AC more when it is the coolest outside to minimize power draw? I realize this model does not do this, but would be great to be able to set the maximum power used and have the AC do the best it can and alert when can't cool incoming air below current inside temperature. Anyone else working on saving money by running AC off solar or running in an off-grid location? Thanks.

Thanks for the review. I'm thinking about the 12K BTU from Costco at $399.

Yea worse case scenario unless u live in 115° weather during summer😅

I just got mine here in Ma. I have an old house I hope I didnt over buy mine 12000 btu

You never tested it with Eco mode off, would have been a nice comparison to make.
