The Midea 12,000 BTU U-Shaped Window Air Conditioner (MAW12V1QWT) features a patented U-shaped design that allows you to keep your window partially open while the unit is installed, significantly reducing outdoor noise transmission and improving home security compared to traditional window ACs. It is rated to cool rooms up to 550 square feet.

This unit uses variable-speed inverter compressor technology, making it up to 35% more energy efficient than conventional window air conditioners and earning ENERGY STAR certification. The U-shaped design acoustically isolates the compressor outside the window frame, achieving noise levels as low as 32 dBA for exceptionally quiet indoor operation. It provides three functions in one: cooling, dehumidification, and ventilation.

Smart home integration is built in, allowing full control via the MideaAir smartphone app (iOS and Android), as well as compatibility with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit voice control. The unit can also be controlled via Apple Watch. Installation uses a standard window mounting bracket and fits double-hung windows.
