The main issue that I have with them is that their temperature control/regulation is messed up and the company won't do anything about it in terms of warranty support. If I set one to heat mode and set the temperature setting to a given temp like 72 degrees, the heat starts blasting, and continues heating up until the room is well over 100; it NEVER stops when it's on heating mode-- whether it's set to a temperature the standard way, or with the "follow me" mode on the remote.
When it's in A/C mode or Auto (which uses either A/C or heat as needed) the temperature regulation is extremely poor, when set to 72, the room will vary between 60 and 80.
There are also various more minor issues: the manual contains multiple errors, such as the hole cutout template is wrong for this model etc etc, the wiring diagram was wrong in the manual, and the wiring terminal label sticker was missing from both of my outdoor condensor units. All of these things just point to poor english language technical support from the company.
They don't stand by offering any meaningful warranty support to licensed contractors, and they openly state that homeowners/handyman installers won't get warranty support at all.
After a couple phone calls or emails, they promise to have their tech guys get back in touch, but you never hear from them again.
In the interest of fairness, there are several pros for these models though:
-These units are pretty easy to install (other than relatively minor issues with the manual and wiring diagrams) Also if you're not experience with cutting and brazing the refrigerant lines, then you'll likely wind up with an unsightly coil of extra line somewhere.
-They are QUIET. I don't have a decibel meter, but they are drastically quieter than any window unit or household central A/C that I have heard
- They are quite efficient compared to central A/C units or window/portable units
I hoped that these units could be an economical alternative to higher end brands, but while their mechanical performance is apparently quite good; they are quiet, powerful, and efficient-- the numerous electronic issues make this models a poor choice IME

Sorry, it was a (bad) joke about how all (pronounced many) HVAC techs try to upsell new units instead of servicing or replacing parts in existing units.
Looks promising, how much 10000 btu will cool what size of room

model with a heat-pump and adjustable for various wall thicknesses,
they would have a product that would be stiff competition for the mini-splits
and may drive the mini-split prices down.

Saddle inverter air conditioner and heat-pump that accommodates different wall thicknesses.
Or, if possible, mini-splits with, say 6', 18' and 30' lines ready to go.
But the window is still open a few inches and the compressor is right on the other side of the glass, so I'm curious as to how much quieter they are than a traditional window unit.
A mini split keeps the window closed and the compressor even further away and will give the occupant the quietest performance. And some mini splits, including this one, can heat via heat pump.
I have the 12k a/c. It's insanely quiet. I can't even tell the compressor is on or not

We have the 12000 btu unit, paid about the same as this deal 6 months ago.
However I've yet to figure it out vs a window unit. If I put it at 78 with the fan on auto the ac just stays on and at low fan speed. It doesn't kick on high fan speed for a bit and once the 78 degrees is reached the ac kicks off and just the fan is going or goes to low like a window unit. It stays on ac low even if it gets to 78 degrees. Ours just stays on ac no matter what it seems. It's on the she shed so I don't pay much attention or care really bc of it was the man cave I'd figure it out lol
