Our Verdict

Midea MAW08V1YWT-S

Hisense HLAW0825TW

The Midea MAW08V1YWT-S and Hisense HLAW0825TW each have their own strengths. Both units are neck-and-neck when it comes to capacity and overall efficiency, but the Midea is noticeably better at holding your desired setpoint and maintaining a comfortable humidity level. However, while the Midea isn't necessarily a massive disturbance, the Hisense does run quieter. Its L-shaped design is a unique advantage over the more conventionally designed Midea, too, as it allows you to open your window while the unit is installed.
