Overview
Midea's 8,000 BTU U-shaped window AC is the smaller sibling of the 12,000 BTU model, sized for rooms up to 350 square feet with the same U-shaped cutout that lets the window close around the unit.
The listing describes this as the first U-shaped window AC to earn ENERGY STAR certification, with the inverter compressor rated as low as 32 dBA.
- 8,000 BTU for up to 350 sq ft
- 32 dBA U-shaped quiet operation
- First U-shaped AC with ENERGY STAR certification
- 710W draw, R32 refrigerant
Who it's for
Bedrooms, home offices or smaller apartments up to about 350 sq ft where quiet operation and keeping the window view matter more than raw cooling power.
Pros and cons
- ENERGY STAR certified U-shaped design
- Window can still open with the unit installed
- Wi-Fi via SmartHome app plus Alexa and Google Assistant
- 37%+ energy savings claimed over standard units
- Only cools up to 350 sq ft
- Requires a 22 to 36 inch wide window opening
Performance notes
The R32 refrigerant inverter compressor draws 710W and pushes 215 CFM on high, 150 CFM on low, while the U-shaped cutout keeps compressor noise outside the room. The anti-theft mechanism locks the window shut when closed, and installation uses the same quick-snap bracket and sidearm system as the larger 12,000 BTU model.
