Our Verdict
Midea MAW12HV1CWT
Midea U-Shaped MAW12V1QWT
Unsurprisingly, the Midea MAW12HV1CWT and Midea U-Shaped MAW12V1QWT deliver all but identical performance, with both being inverter ACs with an advertised output of 12,000 BTU. The main difference lies in their designs. The MAW12V1QWT unconventional u-shaped design makes for a more demanding installation process since you'll need to install additional anti-tip brackets, but also allows you to open the window when it's in place. Beyond that, the MAW12HV1CWT is equipped with a heating mode, which the MAW12V1QWT lacks. It's worth noting that only the U-Shaped MAW12V1QWT is affected by a recall due to mold buildup.
