- Please check the packages carefully and there are some brackets that may be in the corner or under the foam (ex. L brackets).

5.Can the screen be adjusted when the window is opened?

- The screen is adjustable between 23”-36” for when people open their window – The height would be fixed at height from bottom of U to top of the unit. *Reference adjustable screen separately sold.

6.The machine is not cooling or cooling slowly.

Wirecutter

This U-shaped Midea air conditioner is the quietest model we’ve ever tested, and it’s designed in a way that still lets you open your window. But the installation process isn’t fun.

Consumer Reports

CR’s take: With its innovative design, the top-rated U-shaped Midea MAW08V1QWT solves one of the consumer concerns with window ACs—that you can’t open the window when one is installed. The Midea has a U-shaped channel between the indoor and outdoor sections of the unit that allows you to open the window when the AC isn’t running and close it when it’s on. Specially designed brackets hold it in place. The Midea is also impressive at cooling a room, earning a Very Good rating in our comfort test and running quietly on the high cool setting and whisper-quiet on low. The controls are easy to set, and it bounces back in brownout conditions.
