Our scoreSCORE5.1 / 10SCORE7.5 / 10
Our takeThe largest 115V Uni-Fit, at CEER 10.0. Owners of the 12,000 mostly describe it as loud, so seal it well; we didn't verify a listing's model number to link.The December 2024 12,000 BTU U at CEER 15.2, not recalled. Hard to find; the current V1UWT is the easier buy.

Watch out forFriedrich's manual says to replace the sleeve's old rear grille with the dual-intake grille in the kit; owners report installers skipping it and units failing soon after. Friedrich excludes faulty installation from the warranty.Midea sold the U2QWT and the recalled U1QWT with the same CEER ratings and near-identical titles; one digit separates them.
