What does M1SEFT-12HRN8F-Q8 mean?
The code is not random; reading it lets you make sure you are comparing the same model at any seller (per the brand's Egyptian models):
- M1S = the Midea Egypt wall-split prefix
- HR = heat & cool
- 12 = cooling capacity in thousands of BTU (12,000 BTU/hr ≈ 1.5 HP)
- N = fixed-speed compressor
How many m² does 1.5 HP cool?
Using our approved heat-load method (length × width × height × a factor of 300 / 350 / 400 BTU/m³ depending on exposure), this capacity covers 11 to 14 m² at a 2.8 m ceiling. The typical home for this capacity is bedrooms, home offices and small rooms. A top floor or a west façade means you should treat it as the minimum area, not the maximum. Large glazing, a kitchen and the number of occupants raise the load, so confirm with a real calculation: how engineers pick the right AC capacity · what HP and BTU mean · the AC calculator.
Cooling, heating and the compressor
Cool & heat (heat pump): it cools in summer and heats in winter from the same unit, far cheaper to run than electric heaters. Heating efficiency drops on very cold nights but is more than enough for an Egyptian winter.
This is a fixed-speed model: cheaper to buy, simpler to maintain, and best suited to intermittent or seasonal use. For long daily use, compare it with the inverter using an electricity-bill calculation.
The Midea Xtreme series
Midea Xtreme: fixed-speed on R32 and built to carry the high load of the Egyptian summer. The gap to Mission Pro is small in price and large if the room stores daytime heat. Our range has 6 models in this series from 1.5 to 3 HP, and this model is the smallest capacity in the series. All models are in the Xtreme category · all Midea prices.
Who should buy this model
The ideal case for this model: use is intermittent or seasonal and the purchase price matters most, together with you want winter heating from the same unit without a separate heater, and the space is 11 to 14 m² with an external wall close by for the pipe route. We say that plainly so you do not pay for a feature you will not use.
Compare M1SEFT-12HRN8F-Q8 before you decide
The table puts this model next to its closest alternatives from our system: the same model in the other operating mode, the inverter or fixed-speed version, the other brand's equivalent, and the other capacities of the same series. Differences in EGP are computed from our current prices.
| Comparison | Model | Price (EGP) | vs M1SEFT-12HRN8F-Q8 |
|---|
| Same model, cool only | M1SEFT-12CRN8F-Q8 | 19,814 | −EGP 2,198 (10%) |
| Inverter version | M1SEFT-12HRDN8F-Q8 (AI Eco Master) | 25,638 | +EGP 3,627 (16%) |

| Same series, 1.5 HP cool only | M1SEFT-12CRN8F-Q8 | 19,814 | −EGP 2,198 (10%) |
| Same series, 2.25 HP cool only | M1SEFT-18CRN8F-Q8 | 30,357 | +EGP 8,346 (38%) |
| Same series, 2.25 HP cool & heat | M1SEFT-18HRN8F-Q8 | 33,389 | +EGP 11,377 (52%) |
| Same series, 3 HP cool only | M1SEFT-24CRN8F-Q8 | 37,677 | +EGP 15,666 (71%) |
The cheapest Midea 1.5 HP wall-mounted split in our range is M1SEFT-12CRN8F-Q8 at EGP 19,814; this model costs EGP 2,198 more for heating.
Is this a good price?
A simple measure that compares prices fairly: divide the unit price by its rated capacity. M1SEFT-12HRN8F-Q8 costs EGP 22,012 for 12,000 BTU, which means 1,834 EGP per 1,000 BTU.
| This model | EGP 1,834 per 1,000 BTU |
| Average across our wall-mounted split range (44 models) | EGP 1,971 |
| Cheapest model of the same type | EGP 1,570 |
| Most expensive model of the same type | EGP 2,652 |
That figure sits close to the average for its type with us (only 7% apart), so the price is consistent with the rest of the range rather than an outlier either way.
Installation: what actually matters
A wall split is installed the same day in a ready space: the indoor unit at 2.1 to 2.3 m height away from direct sun, the outdoor unit on brackets with enough ventilation clearance and a drain route with correct slope.
Our installation follows a written protocol: copper sizes matching the catalogue, full Armaflex insulation, a nitrogen pressure test and micron vacuum before charging, a correct drain slope, and photos of each stage on our system. That, not the unit itself, is what decides compressor life. Details in AC installation · AC maintenance.
The unit price includes delivery only within our service areas; installation, commissioning, warranty activation and after-sales service are a separate paid service, written clearly in the quotation together with any extra pipe length, preparation, chasing or scaffolding the site needs.

What customers ask about the Midea Xtreme 1.5 HP Cool & Heat Split AC
How big a room does the Midea Xtreme 1.5 HP Cool & Heat Split AC cover?
This capacity (1.5 HP ≈ 12,000 BTU) covers 11 to 14 m² at a 2.8 m ceiling, based on 300 to 400 BTU per cubic metre. On a top floor or a sunny façade treat it as the minimum, and you can check with the AC calculator.
What is the price of the Midea Xtreme 1.5 HP Cool & Heat Split AC today?
EGP 22,012 for the unit including delivery only within our service areas (updated 12 September 2026). Installation, commissioning, warranty activation and after-sales are a separate paid service, written clearly in the quotation before any work.
Should I buy this fixed-speed model or an inverter?
For intermittent or seasonal use, the fixed-speed model is cheaper to buy and simpler to service. If the unit will run long hours every day, compare it with the inverter (M1SEFT-12HRDN8F-Q8 at EGP 25,638) because the consumption gap pays back the price difference over time. The maths is in inverter or fixed-speed.
What does the code M1SEFT-12HRN8F-Q8 mean?
The code summarises the model: the Midea prefix M1S, HR = cool & heat, the number 12 = 12,000 BTU (1.5 HP), and N = fixed-speed compressor. Details in the code section above.
This model uses R32 — what does that mean?
R32 is the newer generation: higher efficiency, a smaller charge and lower environmental impact, and it needs a technician trained for it because it is mildly flammable. The full comparison is in R32 versus R410A.
Does this unit need a special power supply?
No. It runs on single-phase / 220 V, the normal apartment supply, with no meter change. The run from the meter to the unit and any electrical work are priced separately.
Delivery and installation in your area
Supply, installation and maintenance run from our base in 6th of October, with appointments confirmed before the visit and photo documentation. Among the areas we serve: AC in New Alamein · AC in New Zayed · AC in Heliopolis · AC in Shorouk · all service areas.
