After install (I used the Pioneer line flush method), It works fine EXCEPT i cannot keep a constant temperature... I set it to 75 and I measure 66 in this room. I go to 77 and the room is humid. While I might have oversized for this room (Garage office space) it should still work around the temp range.
I regret not getting the Mr Cool which I have installed in my living room and it maintains temp and humidity perfectly.
For power from your disconnect to the outside unit I would suggest sched 40 or 80 conduit with THHN wire or equivalent. For the final bends to the outside unit a flexible non-metalic conduit (again with THHN or equivalent inside). *
For the outside to inside unit I used cable of type "TC-ER-JP" . Tosot supplied 18AWG conductor cable ("SOW"), I went with higher current rated 14 AWG 4 conductor (14/4C) "TC-ER-JP" type cable. The cable is fairly straightforward to find from electrical suppliers on eBay. Again for exposed cable out of the mini-split it is enclosed in non-metallic flexible conduit*

Want it prettier? A 24x24" piece of ply wood for the base and some 2x4 cut at 45 degrees to allow it to lean against the wall and you're good. Have a horizontally sliding window and another 24" wide piece of ply to close off the area above. When done, remove it in September and don't worry about it until next year.
Don't get me wrong, I like the look but 9000 BTU is really … low. You're talking 350 sq-ft which means it will basically be on if you're thinking anything but a bedroom.

1) It looks like these TOSOT units are not eligible for northern or southern states according to Energy star search. (aside: they are so cheap it's not like you were going to get a large rebate back)
https://data.energystar
2) Manufacturers make 100's of product variations, only some of which are on the energy star site, so be really careful about the exact model number you are buying if the federal rebate matters to you.
3) Many places will advertise "federal rebate eligible" but there are different standard for different regions and they don't make that clear (looking at you home depot telling me in a northern state that I can get the rebate on a unit that is only eligible in the south )....
4)
To be federal rebate eligible a mini-split has to meet regional requirements (northern vs southern states) as defined here: https://www.energystar.
Generally the Sothern rebate eligible mini-splits have a tougher standard (than the north) for their efficiency in cooling (EER2). Conversely the Northern standard has tougher standard than the south for their heating efficiency (HSPF2).
Warning: notice the "2" at the end of all these standards, a lot of manufacturers will quote the old non-2 standards. They are not the same.
Ductless (mini-splits)
South: ENERGY STAR certified heat pumps with
SEER2 > 16
EER2 > 12
HSPF2 > 9
North: ENERGY STAR Cold Climate heat pumps with
SEER2 > 16
EER2 > 9
HSPF2 > 9.5

Installation, yes you can DIY, you do not need to use a licensed HVAC engineer to claim the federal credit.
You do need to do electrical work "consistent with NEC" but I can find no mention of requirement to use a licensed electrician either.
Here are the links, if anyone finds a relevant document form a .gov web site that says otherwise I would love to know....
