Heat pumps are simply amazing, and they keep getting better.
- This unit is R-410A per the listing. Source: scroll all the way down to the bottom to Product Information and click Expand All.
- Important: this particular unit DOES NOT INCLUDE A LINE SET and you may have a very difficult time finding someone to get one and install it for you if you don't want to learn how to DIY. Source: per the listing details: "No installation kits: indoor unit, outdoor condenser, and remote control unit are included only"
This means you will need to acquire your own line set, flare your connections, vacuum it down below 500 microns and hold for 30 mins, and pressure test with nitrogen. The equipment to do all of this can be purchased for around $500-750. The know-how portion can be learned on YouTube but you'll need to invest 10-20 hours to get several perspectives. Short cut: AC Service Tech sells a mini-split installation guide book that explains everything in detail, it runs around $60. Get it. There are plenty of HVAC professionals who have no clue what they're doing with these things so you may very well end up with a better install DIY'ing it the correct way then having a pro do it.
It's hard to find local installers who will do this for you unless it's just some guy trying to make a few extra bucks as a side gig. The reason is these mini splits are seriously cutting in to their business and also because they are of varying quality and don't want all the headaches that go along with them.]
If you don't know the ins-and-outs of how to create quality flares with a method that reduces the chance of micro-gouging on the flare faces or using sealants like Nylog Blue, you should probably do a deep dive or go with a different unit. The line-set installation, preparation and commissioning is the single most important portion of the install that makes or breaks the unit performance and longevity.
Mr. Cool and a few other manufacturers offer pre-charged linesets with connectors that screw-on. They still need be torqued correctly, which many people think they can just do by feel or over-torquing "to be safe", but then leak out all of their refrigerant and blame the manufacturer for their own stupid mistakes.

I don't know who makes the Costway, or what their warranty/support reputation is like, or what your application and load calculation is so whether the 18k unit is a better value is not something I can answer. Generally you want to know exactly what BTU class you need to be in for your load calc and local temperature extremes and then you find the best model for the best price from there. I wouldn't recommend buying any unit simply because it's on sale, this is a "buy the right quality tool for the job" situation.
