How to read the code M1SEFT-18CRN8F-Q8
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
- CR = cooling only
- 18 = cooling capacity in thousands of BTU (18,000 BTU/hr ≈ 2.25 HP)
- N = fixed-speed compressor
The right space for 2.25 HP
Using our approved heat-load method (length × width × height × a factor of 300 / 350 / 400 BTU/m³ depending on exposure), this capacity covers 16 to 21 m² at a 2.8 m ceiling. The most common choice for living rooms, small halls, mid-size offices and large bedrooms. If the space opens onto a kitchen or reception, size the load on the whole open volume, not one room. 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.
What makes the difference in operation
This unit cools only and has no heating mode. That makes sense in rooms heated by another source or not used in winter, and it saves the price gap against the cool & heat version.
Fixed-speed compressor: it runs at full capacity and stops when the set temperature is reached. It costs less than the inverter at the same capacity and is simpler to service, but consumption is higher if the unit runs many hours a day.
The Midea Xtreme series
Xtreme is Midea's series developed for hot climates, with a fixed-speed compressor and R32. It makes sense on top floors, west façades and exposed areas. Our range has 6 models in this series from 1.5 to 3 HP, and this model sits mid-range in the series. All models are in the Xtreme category · all Midea prices.
When to choose it
You would choose this model when heating is not needed or another heat source already exists. And the space is 16 to 21 m² with an external wall close by for the pipe route. If either of those does not apply to you, look at the alternatives in the table below before paying.

This is the cheapest Midea 2.25 HP wall-mounted split in our range out of 6 models at this capacity.
Price against capacity
A simple measure that compares prices fairly: divide the unit price by its rated capacity. M1SEFT-18CRN8F-Q8 costs EGP 30,357 for 18,000 BTU, which means 1,687 EGP per 1,000 BTU.
| This model | EGP 1,687 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 |
This model is among the better value in its type with us: its cost per unit of cooling is 14% below average, ranking 7 of 44 from cheapest to most expensive per BTU.
How we carry out the installation
With a wall split, the position of both units affects cooling more than anything else: the indoor unit facing the length of the room rather than a closed corner, the outdoor unit in open air away from sun reflected off a facing wall, and the shortest practical pipe run between them.
We work to approved specifications and fixed steps, not improvisation: South African or Swedish copper in the right sizes, full Armaflex insulation on both lines, a dry-nitrogen pressure test then a micron vacuum before charging, a correct drain slope that prevents dripping, and photo documentation of every stage on our system.

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.

Common questions about the Midea Xtreme 2.25 HP Cool Only Split AC
How big a room does the Midea Xtreme 2.25 HP Cool Only Split AC cover?
This capacity (2.25 HP ≈ 18,000 BTU) covers 16 to 21 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 2.25 HP Cool Only Split AC today?
EGP 30,357 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.
Does this unit heat?
No, this is a cool-only model. The cool & heat version of the same model is M1SEFT-18HRN8F-Q8, a difference of EGP 3,032, listed in the comparison table above.
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-18CRDN8F-Q8 at EGP 34,883) because the consumption gap pays back the price difference over time. The maths is in inverter or fixed-speed.
What does the code M1SEFT-18CRN8F-Q8 mean?
The code summarises the model: the Midea prefix M1S, CR = cool only, the number 18 = 18,000 BTU (2.25 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.
