Midea U-Shaped MAW12V1QWT
Hisense AW1422CW1W
The Midea U-Shaped MAW12V1QWT is a better overall window-mount A/C than the Hisense AW1422CW1W. The Hisense's slightly higher capacity does allow it to cool rooms fractionally faster, but in almost every other respect, the Midea pulls ahead. This is largely due to its inverter compressor, which can be modulated in increments rather than cycling on and off to maintain your desired temperature. This lowers energy consumption and minimizes swings in temperature and humidity as it runs. This inverter compressor also runs noticeably more quietly, even at max load. Finally, it's worth noting that the Midea is affected by a product recall due to mold buildup.
