These units are so far superior to older AC technology.....it's an absolute game changer.
What I REALLY wish is that they would discount the units that have heat pump capability. I have two of them as well and would buy one more. It's amazing the amount of heat they can put out per watt, as compared to resistive space heaters.
It is predicted to be in the mid to upper 80's already next week down here in south Texas. I hope I don't have to install them already.
Mold? I didn't have any issues with that. On humid days, the AC can pull enough water out of the air that the water pools up in the outside portion of the AC. Some people would drill drain holes in the unit, but I just folded up a paper towel into a strip and tucked it between the fins and the case so it wicks the excess water out of the unit and into a bucket or onto a thirsty plant. Works great.

My bedroom only has one extra-wide window and our climate is moderate, so I really couldn't give up being able to open the window all summer and didn't want to block a ton of it from view.
Window is too wide for the bracket, so I just mounted the AC up against one edge of the window and drilled the other side of the bracket into the sill.
Used some styrofoam to extend the window seal the full width.
Built an L-shaped screen that I can install while the AC is still in place so I can open the window and still keep bugs out.
So not only is it much nicer to have in my window, but the inverter tech does lead to much "nicer" operation than a traditional unit.
Tldr... Customer service is helpful but their RMA/exchange process is a little wonky and can take a while.
Most are about a mold issue stemming from their defective drain holes.

I'd like to see these with more thought out styling , linked up with a cello type thermostat and occupancy sensors would be a great retrofit especially in older homes with low slopes and ceilings.
Problem with central anything these days is they are soon out of date, so any computation has to take into account you're going to leave it there till it croaks.
2 were 4 ton AC/heat pumps in NE FL ($4972 and $4400)
1 from 1994 other 2001. CAC was from 2008
unless you are located south of broward county FL you will still need to heat your home. So, add in the cost of a heating system OR it's heated/cooled via a heat pump.
Good luck trying to sell a home without central AC in Texas, or FL (person which I originally responded to, is in TX) unless its a dump.

This price of $300 is excellent. Don't sweat the $20 difference.
So far they have been workhorses. One is all rusted on the outside but have not noticed any mold.
