We bought and installed in the same house the following Midea air conditioners from the XTREME SAVE SERIES.
We preferred this company over others because it is cheaper than Mitsubishi due to lower power consumption and similar prices. Both Midea and Mitsubishi have serious representations in Greece with large warehouses and immediate availability of spare parts if needed.
Furthermore, we wanted to buy air conditioners with high circulation and many sales in order to have spare parts more readily available if needed.
We bought and installed the following air conditioners in the same house:
MIDEA AG-1 2N8D6-O with 12,000 BTU. It was preferred for the living room because it consumes less power and works at least 4 hours every day.
MIDEA AG2 12NXDO-1/AG2 12N8 D0-O with 12,000 BTU for a large unified basement area.
MIDEA AG2 09NXD0-O with 9,000 BTU for 2 bedrooms.
We were very satisfied with both heating and cooling.
For small bedrooms that are used as supplementary spaces for 2-3 hours or 5 hours during the summer when you sleep, prefer the AG2 model as it is more economical and the difference in cost will not be compensated by the power savings.
For large spaces, prefer the main air conditioning unit of the house, the AG1 in 12,000 BTU, as it will save you money on electricity.
Do not choose the AG1 in 9,000 BTU as it is not economically viable and it will work all day.
Do not install combo units that have 1 external unit and multiple internal units. You will fill the place with pipes and the external unit will fail first, followed by the internal units. Therefore, you will be left without air conditioning due to a single hardware failure (circuit board, motor, or both).
These air conditioners, although not explicitly stated, are EUROVENT certified.
Do not look at A+++ ratings, but rather at the number of kWh stated on an annual basis, so that you can compare properly, otherwise you will get confused.
They do not come with anti-vibration bases in the packaging like Fujitsu, LG, or Inverter units, which are all manufactured in the same factory and do not make noise or creak. If you want to install anti-vibration bases, they cost around 30 to 35 Euros per air conditioner. I have one strange unit on the 6th floor that has been complaining for years, but these specific air conditioners, when all turned on, did not cause any disturbance. I mention this for those who choose based on this criterion.
The noise level is measured at 53 to 55 decibels with a decibel meter.
I hope this review helps other consumers in the future.
