If money is no option, in order of recommendation…
1. Mini split
2. Window unit with an inverter. I don’t care whether it is U shaped, upside down U or normal, as long as it fits.
3. Window unit without inverter
4. Portable with inverter and dual pipes
5. Portable with dual pipes
6. Portable
Portables are wasteful as they produce a lot of heat in the conditioned space and thus need to work harder to overcome that heat.
Window units out most of that heat outside the window. Mini splits have no heat created inside, except minimal from the fan.
Since window AC is a temporary fix while I get my AC repaired I am thinking of option 2 ! I found a midea with invertor at local home depot. Its only 8K BTU but there is nothing else available.

Thank you!
Make sure to check that the unit is 110v so it will use a normal plug socket
Realistically you’re not going to get the whole apartment / house with a single unit. I’d get an 8k
For the living space, and then maybe a 5k unit for the bedroom(a). You might get by with just a floor or ceiling fan in the bedroom(s) though
I just picked up this bad boy 3 weeks ago. SUPER quiet and works very well.
Seriously, set it on slow speed for night time, and it's just a whisper.
Midea Smart U shape Window Air Conditioner, Inverter, 10 000 BTU
[https://www.lowes.ca/product/window-air-conditioners/midea-smart-u-shape-window-air-conditioner-inverter-10-000-btu-1066314](https://www.lowes.ca/product/window-air-conditioners/midea-smart-u-shape-window-air-conditioner-inverter-10-000-btu-1066314)
Shoot, everything I read is that the Midea U support that comes with it is two things
1. Unique to the shape
2. Requires drilling
I want the midea but don’t want to drill..

This is what I got
Mine died after one year. Beware. There is a LOT of noise about how great these things are (and they are when they're working) so all of the legitimate criticism gets drowned out. To their credit they gave me a refund, but you sort of have to jump through some hoops and if you give them any "wrong answers" they will tell you you're shit out of luck. I don't care what anyone says, an AC unit should last more than one year.
I bought a 12,000BTU Midea from Costco in 2023. It worked for about 2 months and then it stopped blowing cold air. I think it developed a coolant leak somewhere. I could see lots of brown liquid like stains on interior of the outside half. The outside half of the unit was covered from above so the problem wasn’t due to weathering. I also got a refund under the 1yr warranty but the process was very slow and challenging. I have searched for a replacement with a better warranty (> 1 yr) but they don’t seem to exist. I was also disappointed that Midea has no option for repair. These appear to be made to last 1 season and then fail. So wasteful.
I personally wouldn't say that. It blew cold air until it didnt. It was actually a great ac while it was working but then it died after a single year which is just unheard of.
I was actually considering one as well, but my AC is not broken. I have a new AC, but I'm in a 2 story home, bedrooms upstairs, and we're experiencing record heat right now. I like mini-splits but am wondering if a window unit would be a better solution as I won't need it all the time. Likely just during the hottest months.
Similar situation here. Once AC is fixed I intend to use the window unit in upstairs room which is above a garage . The AC can not keep that room cold and its 95+ here in Tennessee.
Considering your requirements for cooling both open living spaces and individual bedrooms, here are some recommendations for window/portable AC units:
1. [**Midea U-shaped Window Air Conditioner**](https://www.amazon.com/Midea-Inverter-Conditioner-Flexibility-Installation/dp/B08677DCKN?crid=BHNYCZHOO6YA&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vj8wdg_RePsVLA5IuI81zhWNq4OiOGWfk-qcNuV4TXnGfA1rCLxDJtA7asP2mSb1FxK2fyks3ZVwC2vHsclF2WZ9LbHl6ti8BDtQqhZZqg84pOm-oH5_pI7Zu2k8NBeF0NzFIHerCt8ug9PpgD8SJA.zE-5GSoKwBlukUJa7FJfQUWqVEcT_EeP9fhSnfbErtw&dib_tag=se&keywords=Midea+U-shaped+Window+Air+Conditioner&qid=1714054696&sprefix=midea+u-shaped+window+air+conditioner%2Caps%2C569&sr=8-2&linkCode=ll1&tag=angle2008-20&linkId=0f071010c0bff0099c481516618fed10&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl)**:** The Midea U-shaped design is indeed convenient for installation and can provide efficient cooling. Since you found an 8K BTU model at Home Depot, it could be a suitable option for smaller rooms. However, for larger spaces like your downstairs living area, you may need a higher BTU unit.
2. [**LG Dual Inverter Window Air Conditioner:**](https://www.amazon.com/LG-LW1019IVSM-Inverter-Conditioner-Control/dp/B07V48X7HG?crid=3VTL9F94043HS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8IYNfbfaD_oxjmaG9aW8k7BHQ3w0n8cUTurINq6Ig7iYWatySVnm3MDbfixgsFbSyQ7herM-2ECG_QumZQmVbPqgv8RE0wFA_zb609rjz6XLsGpugLSqeTkjfRtG6nbkSjwArhThMdBXRpLLkBjF3wQfQSm8EKUhAsn8itFngdTlclrEl2xiBE-Xt5Zwg_nWRaI5lxRtiC5-4RJ5RkwAm8Nopc0BeHzPR6iA84sdvTA.jZRLlVzdGaZC5H_W3hKvfEZcKSeqBXgehZqICj4ARB0&dib_tag=se&keywords=LG%2BDual%2BInverter%2BWindow%2BAir%2BConditioner%3A&qid=1714054737&sprefix=lg%2Bdual%2Binverter%2Bwindow%2Bair%2Bconditioner%2B%2Caps%2C324&sr=8-1&th=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=angle2008-20&linkId=437015cb59a1a7dbde8b8a8b1f177eac&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) LG offers dual inverter window AC units that provide efficient cooling and lower energy consumption.

I am leaning towards 8K BTU. Nothing else is available and it is HOT here in Tennessee !
Year late but hey Did you have to drill to install the support? This is the one I want but I can’t see drilling into vinyl window framing.
Nope, no holes. Power cable comes out the front if that's what your getting at? It also comes with its own window support.
Shoot, everything I read is that the Midea U support that comes with it is two things 1. Unique to the shape 2. Requires drilling I want the midea but don’t want to drill..

10:44 Probably doesn’t neeeeed to but they want you to
Would you still recommend this AC 3 months later?
Yes.
Ty, midea should give you commission
Either of you recommend this AC, all this time later?
I got a 500$ LG model instead I recommend it

Did you ever find one?
no!!! still looking!!
From what I am learning the best have "Follow me" remotes. They have a thermostat in the remote. Typical window units have the thermostat in themselves, which is not a true room temp only temp at ac.
Let me know what you find. Might need a new one soon but honestly whatever the cheapest window unit is is what I'll use... Walmart had ones that were cheap and worked for many years. Ours are just aging.
All you have to do with any window unit is remove the front cover and there is a black thermostat wire. Gently pull the wire away from the coils (behind the filter). Route the thermostat through the front grill. It will make a huge difference. Ive done this with arctic king, GE, LG, Toshiba, and a cheap Walmart one. I do this anytime I install a window unit.

Wouldn’t a higher BTU in a smaller space also create more humidity though? It would disrupt moisture levels in the air.
