Midea 12000 BTU U Model Window Unit

I have I think the 10000 BTU model and love it. Had it several years now in my master bedroom. It is extremely quiet. You can hear air flow, although still not loud. I sleep with a box fan anyway, so I don't notice any sound at all from the Midea. I don't hear the motor or anything else. The inverter technology is very quiet to begin with, but the U shape allows the window to close enough to shut out the noisy part of the unit.

The install takes a while, but it's very sturdy and well insulated once in place. Although I did find out after I installed it that I had Covid, so that's probably why it wore me out

Has a remote and a pretty good app too.

If I have any gripes at all, it's that cleaning the fan blades is a real bitch if they ever get that dirty. But hopefully that's just a once every few years chore.



ETA: They dominate in consumer reports too.

I have 2 of them. They are much much more quiet than traditional window units. The variable speed is fantastic. The only thing that annoys me is there is a slight dripping sound where the condensation hits the fan that is noticeable when it is running at low speed. I usually only notice at night when it's very quiet, but it's a small price to pay for how good these are.
