Midea 8,000 BTU U Smart Inverter Window AC
B0CVVQWGH2
This one is 8000 BTU, and also has the heating function. It is basically a heat pump in a regular square window unit form factor. I bought it to help cool the bedroom, and heat function was just a nice "bonus" that I didn't plan on using. I installed it early April, and the temps dropped the next day. I will say that the heat function works very well, and while the literature says 41 degrees F (5 degrees C) is the minimum outdoor operating temperature, it seemed to work down into the upper 30s (around 2 to 3 degrees C) on a couple nights.
In the app, this model actually shows up as a "split unit" so you know it's a real heat pump.
Pros
Cold when you want it
Warm when you want it (within reason)
Much quieter than the generic "on/off" style window unit it replaced (this one is inverter driven)
Scheduling and long distance operation via Wi-Fi and the app is pretty easy
Included remote works well
They include locking screws and insulating tape for installation. The top groove and side blocking pieces are included, but you have to attach them
Cons
If you have sensitive hearing, you'll hear the high pitched whine from the inverter system
My LED lights on the same circuit as the AC flicker in a slightly annoying way
I'm really being a bit picky, because overall I'm totally satisfied with this unit! I like that it only runs as hard as it needs to, and the 8000 BTU size is great for a medium bedroom and bathroom combo. I strongly recommend it so far.
