Works well but copper tubing is flimsy

This 2-zone 12+12 system works well after a full DIY installation, which involved using an HVAC pump to vacuum the lines. The included copper tubing is noticeably flimsy compared to other mini-splits, so bending requires care and large radiuses. One line was bent at 90 degrees but did not break and remained usable; the extra line set was used instead. Three line sets are included, though only two are needed.

Pros
  • + works well
  • + full DIY installation possible
  • + three line sets included
Cons
  • − copper tubing is flimsy
  • − requires careful bending with large radiuses

Short 5-Foot Line Set Requires Extra Purchase

The mini split unit itself may be satisfactory, but the included line set is only 5 feet long, which is insufficient for most installations unless the indoor and outdoor units are placed very close together. A longer line set must be purchased separately, adding unexpected cost. The product should either include a more practical length or clearly warn that additional line may be needed. This creates frustration and an unnecessary extra expense.

Cons
  • − Included line set is only 5 feet
  • − Requires purchasing a longer line set separately
  • − Unexpected extra cost
  • − Insufficient warning about line length

Great support and replacement after shipping damage

The outdoor unit arrived with obvious shipping damage and oil leaking throughout the box, while the indoor heads and line set arrived undamaged. Support arranged a replacement outdoor unit, and the replacement arrived much better packed with no leaks or visible damage. After installation, one indoor head works great. The outdoor unit lacks clamps for the electrical wire, but a standard 1/2-inch low-profile strain relief connector can be used instead. Further updates are planned after full installation.

Pros
  • + responsive support
  • + replacement unit arrived well packed
  • + indoor head works great
  • + no leaks or visible damage on replacement
Cons
  • − outdoor unit arrived damaged with oil leaking
  • − outdoor unit lacks clamps for electrical wire

Quiet, reliable mini split with app control

After about eight months of use, these mini splits have proven much better than a swamp cooler, running quieter and more reliably. They offer cooling, heating, and multiple airflow levels, and can be controlled from a phone. They help regulate temperatures in rooms a fireplace cannot reach, replacing space heaters. The value is considered good, and the brand ranked among the top choices during research. Extra line may be needed if the included line does not reach the desired room.

Pros
  • + quieter than swamp cooler
  • + reliable
  • + phone app control
  • + cooling and heating
  • + multiple airflow levels
  • + good value
  • + replaces space heaters
Cons
  • − included line may not reach desired room
