"Midea" air conditioners - any good?

TazR · Aug 02, 2010 6:53 pm

My electrician has just done a quote for me for a split system installation on a new house using "Midea" air conditioners. To tell you the truth, I've never heard of them - and I can't find a lot of info about them either. Does anybody know anything about this brand, or if they are any good?

Why are you talking to an electrician about air conditioning...?

Stick with the Japanese... Daikin, Mitsubishi or Panasonic...

Midea was their "default" brand. I have since asked them to quote on something I have at least heard of. I have not found any bad reviews yet about Midea, but I haven't found any good either. I am sure they are probably okay, but I don't think it is worth the risk.

Midea’s vertically integrated supply chain enables it to achieve maximum efficiency in production and product development, giving Midea a competitive edge over other brands.Midea employs Japanese research methods and scientists to achieve the highest standard of quality control.

Sounds like an advertisement. Can you point me to any independent reviews?

Thanks for the link. Looks like somebody has already asked the question about Midea. General consensus seems to be that they are cheap and you get what you pay for.

Midea air conditioner MSCP12M4
Value for money
But had vibrating noise after installation
as installed over 12 months after purchase (warranty expired)
removed top & front panels
found noise to be transformer lower mountings
slots too big so filled with silicon and let curer for a few hours
(no more noise)
