It's made by AUX USA so you can check their reviews. It's hit/miss and most issues stem from poor install and lack of vacuuming (my opinion) from reading peoples install methods. The Costway units for a little more than this cost are also AUX. Other brands private label AUX also.

Midea is one of the other MFGs that make some of the more known brands like Pioneer.

By Not removing the Moisture, it will turn into acid and eat the winding, only a matter of time before she's cooked!...I would remove then pull a vacuum then weigh Charge!

Yes, $7k gets you a legit Misubishi unit that will last. All these DIY jobs with trash products gonna fail miserably in a few years.

There's a reason why legit brands dont sell direct to consumer, because if the install is poorly done, the brand gets blamed.
No... These die in about 10 years regardless of brand etc.

This is a good deal

For a little more buy the Costway unit that is Energystar-certified [costway.com]. It will probably be cheaper after the 30% federal tax credit. Looks like the 230V unit is $519 now(at least for 4 more hours)

Edit: I made the image really small so get your magnifier out.....lol

once i pressure test, than vacuum, is the freon already in the system and just needs to be released or do i also need to procure the freon?
Typically Freon is already in the system and you release a valve and it is then sent to the rest of the system. It's typically on the compressor side (outside) and released via an allen wrench.

All this talk of purging and confusion behind it makes me wonder what the best analogy is to relay the concept and this is what I've come up with.

Think of the purge process like bleeding your brakes in your car. Moisture is bad for your brake fluid as well and air bubbles in the system will also cause issues.

You can eliminate moisture and air bubbles by pumping the breaks and subsequent fluid out or purging until you are happy with what's escaping then seal it off.

If you did this on one of these kits Sure you lose some refrigerant, but not anywhere near more than an ounce if you're paying attention and start tightening at that point.

The liquid refrigerant expands to a gas that occupies many times the liquid refrigerant volume extremely quickly. Anything in the lines will be forced out at a high velocity including any moisture in the lines.

Quote from pringlebbq :
can you explain how you "flush" the lines? My understanding about flushing is you use the working fluid to displace whatever else is in the system to the outside. But since this is a closed system I don't see anything going anywhere except when you hooking up the vacuum pump.
The system comes precharged with refrigerant. You're supposed to connect the line set and set the valves so that the unfilled portion of the system is connected to the service port so you can pull vacuum to remove any air. That's obviously the correct way to do it. (and free if you use auto parts store loaners)

But if you do that same process *except* you leave one or more line connections loose, you can connect a refrigerant can to the service port and remove the air via displacement and tighten the connections while doing so. It's wasteful, and kinda stupid, but I guess maybe it's faster and easier to grab a small can of refrigerant and a fill hose than lugging your pump and gauges, finding an extension cord, hooking it all up, waiting 10 minutes, disconnecting it all, and lugging everything back. I certainly wouldn't pay good money for someone to do it that way. Then again, I'd do it myself and not pay anyone any money.

Freon is inside of the outdoor unit if unit is pre-charged. Vacuuming is for line set. After vacuum is done, Freon is released from outdoor unit to the line set.

I see. Thanks for the explanation. I don't understanding why someone would do this. I recently installed two and vacuuming the lines was the easiest part of the job for me. It doubles as leak testing so I don't have to run around with a soapy spray bottle.

Its 500$, just get another one after a few years if the person can DIY for free.

So what's the difference between this and the DIY kits? Having never done this before and having no idea what to do, I need some help but the 12 to 13,000 BTUs is exactly what I need for our living room. 18 would be better but either way, feel like if we buy one of these kits we're going to be SOL because there's some secret part or setup that we can't do without being professionals. The wiring we have down cuz we have an electrician but setting this thing up, no idea.
You can install unit, wire it, then have a HVAC technician vacuum it down and then charge it.

Question: Would the 220V version be superior to the 110V? Thanks
The 110V is out of stock. Only 220V available.

I bought one. Can I just buy one of the vaccum pump kits on Amazon for like $100 for the install? Seems fairly basic to do and can sell that kit on eBay for 75 once installed.
You may be able to go to auto parts store an borrow a vacuum pump. I get tools from Auto Zone
