You're welcome! Thanks for the support

Thank you for watching.

Absolutely. That’s a great point.

No drain hole for now. The condensation flows from inside to outside via gravity, then once outside, sits in the pan and gets splashed up onto the condenser coil. That's by design. This makes it more efficient than other window A/C units. There is a rubber plug on the bottom of the pan of some models, but only use this to empty the pan before storing for the winter then put it back in.

So there has to be a drain hole somewhere or it would overflow.

Tell us more about why you feel this way.

@elitehandyman911 my 12k didn't even last 3 seasons. Waste of 4-500 💸 dollars.

All A/C units generate condensation. This one has a gravity drain hose that goes to the outside pan. The pan holds a certain amount of condensation water to splash up onto the condenser coil which improves the cooling efficiency. There is also a rubber drain plug outside on the bottom of the pan to be able to release that water before storage.

I use 12-16 ounces

​@@elitehandyman911 That's great. Thank you.

Once you set it up the first time, reinstallation in the same window is a breeze. I can uninstall and store in less than 20 minutes and reinstall in less than 20 minutes as well.

I appreciate your support and am thrilled that you found the video engaging. Thank you for watching till the end!

Thank you so much for the positive feedback! I appreciate you watching the video and finding it helpful.

Thanks so much for the great comment

Yep. 12-16 ounces works best.

It may differe slightly depending on your window and sill design, but right about 8 inches.

It would be nice. Midea does make a casement ac, but it's not a split like this one.

I'm in Boston, but we have reps in most major cities as well.

You can text your name and address for location availability to 617-917-4909

Glad to help

Great to hear. Hot water is another good step too

I wish you could attach photos. The plastic may slide up? Also you can drill and screw vertically down through the mount arms if the sides don’t work for you.

@@elitehandyman911 Thank you for responding! unfortunately, there is nothing under the mount arms as it is hanging from my window. Will update you on the install, but if the screws are not in place per the manual, do you think that this would still hold the A/C correctly?

Liquid Detergent. Not all soaps are detergent.

@@elitehandyman911 ok.thanks

Palmolive detergent

Glad it worked out in the end

These dogs are the best

Correct. You can use a casement unit or portable.

It is really meant for clogs. It may help clear sludge a little bit, but enzymes and a brush would be better.

Haha ! Good news for sure

Great to hear. Thank you for the positive words and let us know how you like it.

If it didn't work you likely have something non organic stuck in there. The most common thing is a toothbrush. You'll need a plumber who knows how to extract a hard blockage.

​​@@elitehandyman911 The plumber came with a long plunger and cleared the blockage of poo and toilet paper. There's nothing inorganic down there. I know because I live by myself and nothing else has gone down the pan. It's all fine now thankfully. Thanks for the video anyway.

Sorry to hear this. I'm surprised they wouldn't have better customer service.

You can offset the bracket and a/c to one side securing as normal. For the other side use the longest leg and screw it vertically into the sill. This is why there are holes in the bottom of the legs too. You will be missing the internal window lock bar, but the screws will keep it safe. For the insulation you can get hard insulation at any home store or get midea replacement here * - amzn.to/4bBkZ40 and glue two together together. We use just a few dabs of super glue. If you're in Greater Boston let us know and we'll be happy to help.

@@elitehandyman911 Oh. yeah....I see the holes in the bottom of the bracket....Duh me. :D But can you explain why you have to offset the unit? I wish I WAS in Boston....thanks!

It has indentations on the bottom that keep it secure side to side. Then 2 bars and screws secure it. Honestly one of if not the most secure units available.

You probably have something hard partially blocking the toilet exit. Tooth brushes are most common and very hard to remove.

You can slightly offset the A/C to one side utilizing only one side of the mounting arms and then for the other side use the screw holes in the bottom of the arm mounts. You can get extra insulation here * : amzn.to/3VU2im8 and it tapes together or a little bit of super glue works well. Any modifications are done at your own risk.

Please post the link to the report so we can inform people.

Portable Air Conditioners are inefficient with energy consumption, space and they are loud. Why wouldn't an apartment allow you to use these? Most apartments require mounts, or that they do the mounting, but they shouldn't care if you buy one of these.

So glad we could help. Thanks for the support

I don't know what a European window is.

@@elitehandyman911 they open like a door inside the room

So Glad to hear. Thanks for supporting the Channel

Hope it help. So Glad to hear. Thanks for supporting the Channel

I couldn't find my plunger so I was like what am I going to do now. I tried your method and it worked instantly. Awesome💯♥️

I like to remove them for multiple reasons, but it's not required. It's very easy to remove and reinstall on the same window once the initial setup is done.

I actually have. The internal window bars won't reach both sides, but you can get one side in by offsetting the a/c and secure the bracket internally on one side, but also use the screw holes through the bottom of the mount bracket into the sill where the mount doesn't reach the other side. Extra insulation can be found here - amzn.to/3LgXfY7 and can be crazy glued together #alittlegoesalongway . If you do it, please be sure to let us know how it goes. If you're in the Greater Boston area and want it done for you, let me know and I'll hook you up.

Excellent - thanks so much for the info! I’ll let you know how it goes.

Here are some tips. Make sure it's the right size for your room. They actually do do belter after a bit of use since they utilize the built up condensation water to be efficient. Make sure you have the tilt correct. Not too much and not too little. Make sure you didn't remove the pan drain plug outside. Make sure you have it set to cool, not auto with eco off. Check the temp with a thermometer after running for 20 minutes. It should be 60 degrees or lower. If not, call Midea and they will likely send out a replacement under warranty.

Glad it worked for you. Thanks so much for the support.

Call MIdea for troubleshooting. They may send you a new unit as they have a warranty.

Meaning the electronic control has detected the unit is reading one of the temperatures incorrectly. EC 07 error message is not considered a user repairable error. The good news is that most units can tolerate an EC 07 error and still continue to cool.

Thank you for watching

So sorry, it doesn't work in all situations. If you have a non organic clog, you'll need to call in a Plumber or drain cleaner.

60 degrees is the lowest setting. I'm very comfortable with the auto setting 69-72. In practice how low you can actually get the temperature, will depend on your insulation and room size. I can tell you they are amazing at reducing humidity as well.

Thank you so much

Thank you for noticing. She really was a sweet old lady though. I felt like I was stuck in a sitcom.
