Decent value DIY mini split, easy install
This 11000 BTU 110V unit arrives in two boxes at the same time. Installation is fairly easy for someone handy and can be done in a day. Instructions could be better and lack a mounting template, so measuring is required. A 2.5in bit is needed for the wall hole, and the supplied pipe is too small for the suggested 70mm bit. No wire gauge is specified; 10/2 wire was used. Insulation tape is insufficient for the full 16 feet of line. Flares are fine, lines vacuum and hold without leaks, and the pre-charged condenser is compact and quiet. WiFi works, the indoor fan is strong, cooling is cold, and drainage works without a pump. Overall a decent value.
Pros
- + easy DIY install
- + quiet condenser
- + strong indoor fan
- + cold cooling
- + drains without pump
- + WiFi works
- + decent value
Cons
- − instructions could be better
- − no mounting template
- − supplied pipe too small for suggested bit
- − no wire gauge specified
- − insufficient insulation tape

Works as intended, ideal for rural homes
This unit has performed well with no issues so far and works as intended. It maintains an even temperature throughout the house. It is especially useful in a rural setting where a wood stove and space heaters were previously used, as those posed safety concerns due to unsteadiness on feet. It eliminates the need to bring in wood, risk falling into a hot stove, or worry about heaters being left on or placed near flammable items. Professional installation was required. Highly recommended.
Pros
- + works as intended
- + no issues so far
- + maintains even temperature
- + safer than wood stove or space heaters
- + eliminates need to bring in wood
- + reduces risk of falls or burns
Cons
- − requires professional installation

Economical Heating and Cooling for a Detached Garage
This unit can be an economical heating and cooling solution at the right price, but installation is not for beginners. It helps to be handy and mechanically inclined, and watching several videos is recommended. Useful tools include a micron gauge, valve core removal tool, vacuum pump, torque wrench, and a flaring tool, which was needed after a flare pulled out. A year later it still works fine, though it occasionally needs resetting, possibly due to long periods without use. It is used in a detached garage for occasional heating and cooling, and the fan is nice. Better installation leads to longer life.
Pros
- + economical heating and cooling solution
- + works fine a year later
- + nice fan
Cons
- − not for beginners
- − occasionally needs resetting
- − flare pulled out during installation
