How the options differ
All three exact US packages list 8,000 Btu/h, a variable-speed compressor, a 115 V plug and built-in Wi-Fi app control. They differ in the minimum window opening they document, in CEER and ENERGY STAR Most Efficient status, in how much of the electrical data is published, and in body depth and weight.

The buying guide
Package and specification details
Check the opening numbers against your window
Midea documents 23 in to 36 in of opening width and a 14 in minimum opening height for MAW08V1WBK, and GE lists the same 23 in, 36 in and 14 in figures for PWJV08WWF. LG documents 22 in to 36 in and a 13 in minimum vertical opening for LW8022IVSM. These are installation ranges for standard double-hung windows, not a fit guarantee.
ENERGY STAR lists CEER 16.0 and Most Efficient for both MAW08V1WBK and the PWJV08W**# family, and CEER 15.5 without Most Efficient for LW8022IVSM. Midea's store page does not state CEER, so its figure here comes from the listing.
GE lists 6.4 rated cooling amps, 695 W and a 115 V/15 A NEMA 5-15 plug with an LCDI/AFCI cord. LG lists 8.9 rated cooling amps and a 115 V/15 A plug, and its manual asks for a 15 A grounded receptacle with a time-delay fuse or breaker. Midea's sources give 115 V and a grounded plug with a current detection device but no rated amps.
Midea lists 44.09 lb and 18.54 in of depth, and GE lists 46.1 lb and 18.9 in of depth, although GE's ENERGY STAR listing gives 15.3 in. LG lists 24.5 in of depth and a 62 lb net weight against 63.0 lb on its listing. Midea's manual advises a helper for installation.
Do the sound figures show which of these is quietest?
No. GE quotes 43 dBA in Quiet Mode on low cool and LG 44 dBA in sleep mode, without stated distances or methods, and Midea gives no figure for MAW08V1WBK in the sources read. Figures from different modes are not ranked here.
These manufacturer specifications do not establish measured performance, noise, long-term reliability or running cost. We have not independently tested these products. Check current prices, stock and operating-space instructions with the seller and manufacturer.
The white MAW08V1WWT and the MAW08V1WBK-T and MAW08V1WWT-T versions carry separate model numbers and ENERGY STAR records; this record is the black MAW08V1WBK only.
The CEER published for the exact model, preferably as listed by ENERGY STAR.
Higher CEER means less energy for the same rated cooling under the test conditions. It is not a forecast of your bill.

Questions to check before buying
8,000 BTU DOE Smart Inverter MAW08V1WBK Black (US)
Midea publishes no rated amps, sound figure or moisture-removal rate for this model in the sources read; ask Midea before relying on them.
The white MAW08V1WWT and the -T suffixed versions are separate model numbers with their own ENERGY STAR records; check the label matches the listing you rely on.
The installation manual linked from the GE page names other models (AWGP08, AWGP12, AWP08P, AWP12P), so no PWJV08 box list or installation text was read.
GE's body depth and the ENERGY STAR listed depth differ by more than 3 in; measure clearance from GE's own drawing before installing.
LW8022IVSM 8,000 BTU DUAL Inverter Smart Wi-Fi window AC (US)
LG's owner's manual is a 2021 revision shared with LW1022IVSM and LW1022FVSM; confirm the installation steps against the manual supplied in the box.
LG's net weight and the ENERGY STAR listed weight differ by 1 lb, so no single weight is recorded.
Room size, sound levels and moisture removal are manufacturer figures, not measured results in a particular room.
