Smart, Year-Round Climate Control
Meet the Midea Comfee CF-CHR18 – a powerful, smart-enabled air conditioner for larger living spaces. Designed for rooms up to 50m², this 18,000 BTU heat pump system delivers impressive cooling in summer and dependable heating in winter, with built-in Wi-Fi and voice assistant compatibility for easy control.
Powered by a DC inverter compressor, it matches its output to the room rather than constantly stopping and starting. Add an A++ cooling / A+ heating energy rating, self-cleaning technology and double air filtration, and you get comfortable, fresh, cost-conscious climate control all year long.
Whisper-Quiet Operation
With indoor sound levels from just 26dB(A), it keeps large open-plan rooms, living rooms and master bedrooms comfortable without a constant background hum.
Hands-On Smart Control
Built-in Wi-Fi means there is no extra adaptor to buy. Download the app, connect, and you can change modes, set timers and adjust the temperature from wherever you are.
Why Buy Me? Discover Key Features
The Midea Comfee CF-CHR18 combines smart control with high-efficiency hardware, keeping you comfortable whilst keeping a firm lid on running costs.
Control from Anywhere
Connect to the app over built-in Wi-Fi to set schedules, switch modes and adjust the temperature from your phone, whether you are on the sofa or on the way home.
Smooth DC Inverter
The DC inverter compressor adjusts its speed to the temperature in the room, cooling or heating quickly and then holding it steady, without the noisy, energy-hungry stop-start cycles of older units.
Cosy Heat Pump Heating
Heat pump heating keeps working in outdoor temperatures as low as -15°C, so it stays useful well beyond the summer months.
Drier, More Comfortable Air
Humid days feel warmer than they are. Dehumidifying mode removes up to 2.0 litres of moisture per hour, helping rooms feel fresher and more comfortable.
Cleaner Air, Less Hassle
Self-cleaning on the indoor and outdoor units, plus double air filtration with anti-mould and anti-mite treatment, helps keep the air fresh and maintenance to a minimum.

F-Gas Installation Required This air conditioning system contains R32 refrigerant, is covered by strict F-Gas regulations, and must be installed and commissioned by an F-Gas certified air conditioning engineer. Handling must only be carried out by appropriately qualified professionals.
Midea Comfee 18000 BTU Smart A++ Wall Mounted Split Air Conditioner with Heat Pump
The Comfee 18,000 BTU is a powerful R32 wall split built for larger rooms and open-plan spaces, with efficient year-round performance. A high-output inverter compressor delivers A++ cooling (a strong SEER of 7.1) and heat-pump warming down to −15 °C outside, while app control puts the system on your phone. Backed by the advanced engineering of the Midea Group - one of the world’s largest appliance manufacturers - it’s a well-specified fixed split air conditioner great in cooling and heating spaces a 9,000 or 12,000 BTU can’t cover. Suitable for rooms of roughly up to 50 m², subject to insulation, glazing and orientation.
Why buy me
- 18,000 BTU cooling + heat pump - 5.28 kW cooling and 5.57 kW heat-pump heating handle larger lounges, open-plan kitchens and big bedrooms all year.

- Flexible installation - pipe runs up to 30 m give installers real freedom on placement.
The details
Serious output for bigger spaces
With 5.28 kW of cooling (range 0.9–6.0 kW) and 5.57 kW of heat-pump heating (range 0.9–6.3 kW), the 18,000 BTU handles rooms a 9K or 12K would struggle in - large lounges, open-plan living and sizeable bedrooms.
Efficiency that shows on the bill
Rated A++ in cooling with a strong SEER of 7.1, and A+ in heating with an SCOP of 4.0. The inverter ramps output up and down to match demand rather than cycling on and off, so it holds temperature while keeping consumption down - with only 1 W in standby.
Control from anywhere
Wi-Fi connects the unit to the Midea app for schedules, mode changes and status checks from your phone, with voice-assistant support.
Comfort features that earn their place
Follow Me reads the temperature at the remote for more accurate control; Sleep gently adjusts the set point overnight; the vertical louvre remembers its last angle on restart; and the LCD display can be fully dimmed so it doesn’t disturb you at night.
Cleaner air, cleaner unit
Double air filtration with anti-mould and anti-mite treatment, plus self-cleaning on both the indoor and outdoor units and Golden Fin coil protection to resist corrosion outdoors. Factory refrigerant charge is 1.0 kg.
Installer-friendly pipework
A maximum pipe run of 30 m gives installers latitude on where the condenser sits. Connections are 1/4" (6.35 mm) liquid and 1/2" (12.7 mm) gas.
Sizeable outdoor unit
The condenser measures 874 × 330 × 554 mm (W×D×H) and weighs 32.7 kg.
