They are a very close 2nd tier if not almost tied with first tier manufacturers for ductless like Mitsubishi, Daikin and Fujitsu.

The question is, how hot or cold does the shed get?
So far the Turbro has been working great. It did not have any issue cooling my uninsulated garage in the Texas heat last year.
The indoor casstes are pretty light, but the outdoor units are heavy. I plan to install myself in the coming week.
I found this YT video very clear:

I alos bought below tools for the installations. Since I'm installing 3 units, I thought it's a good investments:
The vaccum pump and AC gauge manifold:

R410A Adaptors

Flaring tool (you don't need it if you plan to coil up the whole high/low pressure lines)

Leak Detector

Thread Sealant

Your local regulation will most likely ask you to install a AC Disconnect:

I plan to hang the outdoor units on the wall instead of sitting on the ground, so I also need brackets:

And ducts to cover up the pressure lines and drain tube:

A couple years ago I hired an installer to install one in the masterbed room and he charged me around $800. The masterbed room in on the second floor so it's a lot more difficult, especially in lifting and mounting outdoor unit. If you are handy in average, I think it will take around 3 to 4 hours to install one unit, on the first floor. Running power supply is another story...I don't have any 240V nearby, so I opted for 120V.

I installed my first DIY mini split last spring, and just had 2 comments:
Lineset covers: many of the online cover kits ship in short lengths that are joined together by connector pieces. These can be unwieldy and PITA for anything but short runs, and especially if any ladder work is involved. You may wish to check out the local HVAC supplier warehouse and buy these in 8 or 10 foot lengths instead.
If you have the option to put your outdoor unit on the ground, you may want to consider that instead of a wall mount. Equipment pads are pretty cheap at the local orange store, and I did mine that way after reading about sound and/or vibration being transmitted by wall mounted units.
