How many square feet does the Midea MAW14RV1KWT cool?

At 14,000 BTU/h it suits a room of about 450 to 700 sq ft with normal sun and two people, following the ENERGY STAR sizing guide. In a heavily shaded room that stretches to about 495-770 sq ft; in a very sunny one it shrinks to 405-630 sq ft. A kitchen needs 4,000 BTU more.

How many watts and amps does the Midea MAW14RV1KWT use?

About 875 watts at full power (14,000 BTU/h divided by its CEER of 16.0), which is 7.6 amps at 115 V. That is 62 W less than the typical unit in its class (938 W), or $8 a year cheaper to run at 18.0¢/kWh. Its inverter compressor slows down instead of cycling, so real use is usually lower. Its CEER beats 60% of the 15 units in the class.

Can the Midea MAW14RV1KWT run on a standard outlet?

Yes. It runs on 115 V and draws about 7.6 A, well inside a standard 15 A outlet, but do not share the circuit with a space heater, microwave or other big load. 13% of certified units in this class need 230 V, so a 115 V model is the easy case.

Is the Midea MAW14RV1KWT worth buying to replace an old air conditioner?
