Top critical review
1.0 out of 5 starsIf you're buying this looking for a quiet A/C, this is NOT it...

Having an old, heavy A/C unit in my livingroom forever that started making noise a couple of years ago, I finally decided to upgrade to a more energy efficient and, more importantly, a more QUIET model. I researched online, read all the reviews and saw that Midea A/Cs were supposedly the most quiet ones on the market.
So, despite never having heard of the company before, I decided to take a chance. I also decided to get the BTU rated model that was the next level above what my square footage called for because I wanted it to get cool quickly.
I paid to have this professionally installed and after sitting down on my couch and turning it on, I was I shocked to discover that it is absolutely the NOISIEST air conditioner I have ever owned!
At its lowest fan setting, you can barely hear the living room TV over it. And on high, it sounds as if you're standing behind a city bus.
As if that wasn't bad enough, my old unit rated for less BTUs was FAR more effective at cooling down the room more quickly.
This model is a complete disappointment and a waste of my hard earned money. And sadly, it wasn't actually cheaper than the more well-known name brands, so it's not as if I saved money going with a lesser known brand and got what I paid for.
I wanted a quiet A/C/ unit and was willing to pay premium price to get it, but instead got a noisy jet turbine that does a poor job cooling my living room. And the directional flaps on the vents that are supposed to let you choose where to point the air are useless. The air still comes out straight forward from the vent, so you'll need to block however much of vent you need to in order to avoid getting blasted by the air flow.
Such a disappointment... Sigh..
