Based on the specs, this qualifies for the 30% federal tax credit on air source heat pumps, correct? I believe the requirements for northern regions are a minimum SEER2 of 16, and HSPF2 of 9.5. Most mini split heat pumps easily meet the SEER2 number, but often fall just short of the HSPF2 rating. So, that brings it down to about $700, after filing 2023 taxes.

My local utility does $500 rebate per ton on AHRI rated heat pumps. Combining both of those, it's better than free. Installation would normally cost a fortune, but if you have your own specialty HVAC tools, the know how, and whatever business license required by your local utility, this is a darn good deal. Not familiar with the brand, but free is free.

How does this not blow away the Costco deal? Higher efficiency, the new refrigerant, it also heats, and half the cost. No quick install DIY, but...

The costway lowest outdoor temp for heating 14f with 13feet tubing. You need to buy the vacuum pump etc.
The Mr Cool from Costco can run at 5f and comes with 25ft tubing. DIY
If you only need 13feet distance from your outside to inside unit and won't run it when it's below 15f outside, have a vacuum pump, I would get this costway.

Ive been running it all winter when temps were as low as 10f and it heated up just fine. Would make the kitchen very cozy and kept it at 72F.
The issue is the condenser icing up.

I also need to run a 240v wire and install a socket. Can someone please advise? What gauge wire do I need? Thank you.

Does this one work? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ductl.../308055389

This is 14 gauge wire, and I think this is used between indoor and outdoor unit, not from electric panel to outdoor unit. If you have to route your wires outdoors, it needs to be outdoor rated wire such as THWN - water resistant and run it in a conduit - I used PVC 3/4 and used 12 gauge wire with 20 amp dual pole breaker 18000BTU. See the breaker requirement for the AC you want, if it calls for 30amp dual pole 240v, you will need 10 gauge wire. Usually don't need a neutral wire, so 2 hot and 1 ground. There are stranded and solid wires, I used the solid. If your wiring is not exposed outdoors and indoors, you may be fine using Romex, depending on your state or city electric codes.

I only care about heat. Which one would you do? A 12000 BTU window AC with heat pump (Midea $280 Costco) or this 24000 BTU ($979 Costway)?

Apparently the installation is much easier for the window AC, I wonder why people choose mini split over that?

Higher efficiency and energy use. it's a HUGE difference. USA is just screwed over stupid regulations and forcing people to use contractors so it's harder to get split units. If you were to go to other countries, you will see that most households use split units. Only the USA is stuck in the stone age with people using boxed window A/C units.

Consult a local electrician also. I believe you need a disconnect by this if not within eyesight of electrical panel.
