"I own 3 pioneer's now. Honestly, for the price, it beats the Mr Cool that is always posted.
Never got the chance to posting the deal either, apologies to anyone.
No I'm not an electrician, nor a HVAC expert.
Regular person who just YT's everything and learn as I go. I did this to save money.
The first pioneer I bought in 17' I think, that was a 12k BTU, much lower SEER than my current ones.
Here's a few pointers and info at a glance:
DIAMANTE series was recently released, aesthetically it looks different, there's a small chart that tells you the difference in the temperatures it can run compared to the other models, it MAY be worth it to look into it, also it comes with 16" line set that can't be changed on the website (you can add or use your own line set to make it longer).
Out of all the models, DIAMANTE series is cheaper.
Second and third bought last year and this year. Both are 12k BTU's and rated at SEER 20 (115v), the 230v drops it down to 19 SEER. This is the DIAMANTE series that I have.
Prices went up by $50 or so dollars since I bought it, probably due to the shortage.
Yes they are made for DIY. Refrigerant is in the compressor (outdoor unit).
Pioneer CONSTANTLY updates their product without mentioning, and IMO, for the better.
My second unit was bought only a few months apart from my third unit.
The condensation line is a different and better quality.
Change in the plastic part that protects the lines inside the wall.
Different anti-vibration pads.
Register your product! It'll give you a 5 year warranty as opposed to 1 year if you don't.
IF you live in Miami, or anywhere near South Florida, go to their warehouse, and pick it up. I made the 2 hour (to and back) to their warehouse and picked it up to save on the delivery charges. Why?
Because Pioneer website COST MORE than their sister website? www.Highseer.co
BOTH websites/companies are the same. And the parent company Parker Davis.
Google PD and their website even has tutorials on taking your minisplit apart or installing it if you need to.
Can't control this through Wi-Fi, but I heard and they promote it on their website, on using the Cielo Breeze AC controller (Amazon it). No experience there but it seems you can control with smart apps/phone as well as a regular thermostat controller.
If you live in a hot area, just leave it on COOL and not Auto. It'll still turn off the outside unit and run when it needs to, but Auto feature sucks, IMO.
Also, hire an electrician if you don't know or can't make the connection, not worth your life.
Tools I invested while l learned back in 17' that I still use today:
5lb R410a refrigerant tank from offerup
Gauge set from Highseer (don't buy automobile gauges)
Pipe cutter from Home Depot
Flare tool from Home Depot
Vacuum pump from Harbor Freight
Adapter from 5/16" SAE to 1/4" SAE (This is a need if you don't have one to connect your gauges to vacuum it)
Proper gloves to mitigate any freeze burns from the refrigerant.
TDLR;
Pioneer is an amazing brand.
5 year warranty on most if not all models now, INCLUDING if you DIY, as long as you register within the timeframe.
Buy at Highseer.com and not Pioneerminisplit.com; same company, same warehouse, same parent company, cheaper.
Go for DIAMANTE series if your okay with 16" line set (and able to run within your temps)
Pickup at warehouse if you live in South Florida.
Wi-Fi module is extra. Look into Cielo Breeze AC Controller"

Wiring up 240/220 is no more complicated than any other wiring - the breaker you install in your box will make connect two buses instead of the one bus for 120/110. As long as you run the appropriate guage wiring from the breaker to the unit, it's darn simple. Maybe $100 total in wire and a breaker, depending on distance from box.
Now if you're box is full or you lack the skills to recognize black, red, and white wires, definitely call a pro.

If you're being hosed on the cost by about 5x the price. If someone gave you that price it's because they don't want to do the work, or they think you're a sucker. Or if they're drilling through 6 ft of concrete to run the wire.
Service call for electrician to come out is going to be ~$100-150 for the first hour of work plus materials. The wire for a 6' run is let's say $15 on the high side. Figure about $20 for a circuit breaker.
You can buy the proper guage from pioneer for about $25. It's only one side and vacuum/
charge port. The mini splits use a different port size than regular HVAC or automotive gauges and will require an adapter OR the pioneer gauge.
You can buy R410 off of eBay and have it shipped to your door. I cut off and re-flared all 4 factory flares and screwed one up which caused a slow leak and didn't show during the 15min vacuum test. After re-flaring all ends again, I vacuumed and let it sit for 5 days while on vacation.
I got a 32oz can of R410 from ebay (Pioneer said lines are pre-filled with 30oz from the factory) and it was $75ish.
My cough"technician"cough charged to proper specs on the gauge and it has been running great for months now.
My only complaint so far is that I can't set the heat below 62 degrees f. It's my 3rd car garage/shop and don't need it that warm when I'm not in there.
My concern would be it not running enough to lower humidity.

Everyone talking about 'charging' the unit is lame. Non industrial mini-splits come pre-charged for X feet of line set. If you can turn an Allen wrench you can release the refrigerant. Are you legally allowed to in the united states? Not without a license.
Should people be doing this if they were legally allowed to release the refrigerant? Some people. If you know you are going to pressure test and vacuum the lines, can cut and flare your connections, your comfortable drilling a large hole in your house and running electrical, you can pull your own permits, yea why not. I did two single zone and a dual zone install and I love mine to death but its not for most people.

i thought it's 110 or 220v.
Seriously a 208v circuit is generally in a 3 phase system. 208v is the net voltage from a pair of 120v 3 phase legs.
220/240 is residential. Essentially 2 120v legs combined.
