Have the LG one. Bought from HD for a lot more. It's a game changer, and I highly recommend it.

I have a 4 car garage I use as a shop, let's assume 1100sqft in Florida (hot/humid). Would two 12,000btu window units be as good as a higher end mini-split for keeping it cool? As cost effective?

Looks like they don't... and it's not recommended. But someone on Amazon did. He used expanding foam.
Why isn't a through wall installation recommended? That's how I am thinking of using this for a shed I am going to build/frame so would love to know what the disadvantages will be.

Anyone familiar with the mini-split from Aurus? Seems like a Mexican brand. Have an opportunity to get one new off a seller locally for $450. 12,000 BTU, 17 SEER, 1 ton 115v

Never heard of the brand before so wondering if it's worth rolling the dice on that vs the Midea unit here.

Depending on the wall thickness, it may block the ventilation access on the sides and top of the unit. The unit needs to be able to pull air through itself to function properly. Through-wall units are built to be longer, so the air intake is not obstructed.

As long as all the vents are fully outside the wall, you're fine. If they are even partially blocked, you are asking for trouble.

No, and no. A single (properly sized) mini-split would do a better job, and use FAR less energy.

I need an AC for my room which is upstairs with only side sliding windows. Will these window AC work? The guide only mentions how to install it on the window sliding top down.

It could be made to work, but you will probably need to figure out something yourself to block the open space above the A/C. I don't know if the unit comes with a guard made for side-opening windows.

If your side opening window is significantly taller than the A/C unit here, you'll need to come up with a lot of material (wood panel, plastic panel, foam, etc.) to block up all that space when your window is open.

You can't turn the A/C on its side if you were thinking of doing that.

Quote from WooHoo2You :
Yes, the "correct term," not the one used by anyone in the industry. Sometimes being overly (and needlessly) precise can create confusion.

If you call any HVAC contractor, wholesaler, or manufacturer and say "heat pump" they will not think you are talking about a "non-reversible" heat pump.

For example:
https://www.trane.com/residential...eat-pumps/
https://www.carrier.com/residenti...eat-pumps/
https://www.lennox.com/products/h...heat-pumps

The defrost cycle purpose is to melt any ice build up on the outdoor coil but is not the main reason many HP's perform poorly in low temps. The lack of "heat" to recover from outside is hard on most conventional heat pumps as the efficiency (and capacity) scale with temperature (refrigerant pressure is key). You can lower the effective range of a conventional HP by adding a "low ambient kit." Most mini splits have the same ability built in, so that is why they can perform so well even below 0F.
Agree with the terminology confusion. It's only because the term was rarely used. Everyone called cooling air conditioning , and heat , well... Heat.

Anyways I have not serviced or used any r32 systems, (which both of these are). But even in 410a systems there is a wide difference between performance.
As far as low ambient kits, their rarely used in inverter units... Other than perhaps heaters for the compressor or the drain lines. Fan speed to maintain head pressure is done automatically through programming.
Unfortunately the lower the differential the more energy it eats. At some point it becomes so inefficient that some mini splits use a heating element like a space heater.

Where I am it often maintains mid 40s at night from like March to June 1...so this midea might be interesting. It could probably do duties through mid Nov. Once that comes around it's probably time to take it out and store it.

The midea I think is 13.3 vs the LG which is 15 as far as it's rated efficiency.
