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!

Quote from nycab :
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.
Leaving a connection "loose on purpose" is illegal & subject to large fines - not that you're going to get caught. I'd like to know where you plan to get this small can of R32 in the US. If you're planning on using a can of R410a, you'd be mixing refrigerants, which is never a good idea.

Exactly I bought a vacuum pump from Amazon with a gauge set under 100 bucks plus adapters my AC has been working and leak free for 8 months. Plenty of good YouTube Videos
If you are a nerd then this can get $$$. Want to know deep of a vacuum you are getting? Need a micron gauge and adapters. Are the flare nuts tighten enough? Need a torque wrench. Lines too long? Flaring tools needed. Throw some nitrogen in there to see it the line set withstand 450psi. 220v or 110v? Disconnect box needed. 12guage THHN or romex? Mini split cover. Plastic base, wall mount or stand? I like the third world hack on YouTube. Open up the freon on the unit, flush the line, tighten and you are good.

I can't vouch much for their repitabilty but I have purchased R410A from them.
They don't carry R32. Good luck finding that in the US currently, especially without EPA certification.

It's a seal system buddy. Ain't no moisture in there. Only if they're a leak. Maybe it's recommended to check it but in a seal system. Ain't no way it has moisture.

Refrigerants can be readily purchased online. Yes, to use refrigerant you need EPA license but not needed to buy.

This person is explaining an away to "purge" line set with a very small amount of refrigerant. (not the best/legal practice).

Quote from Logster99 :
The racket these HVAC cartels run in the southern states are starting to rival used cars and big pharma.

Lack of consumer knowledge about these HVAC units and not having the EPA license to handle refrigerants leads to most of them lying to your face on issues with your central unit (which are becoming less and less reliable) so they can sell you a new $8-12k system (most houses in the south have 2), while a $1-200 part could fix it.
100% with you. HVAC industry will need to adapt their prices or more ppl will DYI it. As a DIYer you can do a better job than most techs since you are not racing the clock to get a job done.

Most HVAC pros will balk at the mere idea of DIYing mini splits. But with YouTube university they're in for a rude awakening.

I thought it uses nitrogen but according to Pioneer, it "Contains: 1,1-Difluoroethane which has zero ozone depletion potential and a very low global warming potential"

I watch YouTube video of this insulation it looks easy until it comes to the point of hooking up the low and high pressure coolant line I don't have the tool like a vacuum the unit and to flare the ends of the copper tubing other than that it looks okay to do. But I am impressed with the units.

That's exactly what I said below installing it looks okay to do but to vacuum the system flaring the line for better connection and like you said the other stuff the time you buy all that gets to be expensive money

Mitsubishi heat pumps are great. You can buy one for under $800 from Amazon. $7200 for install is for suckers
More misinformation. You cannot buy a Mitsubishi mini split for under $1k let alone $800. Add line sets and communication wires and you are ~ $2k minimum

120 vs 240 depends on the wattage. Higher wattage benefits from 240 as it is more efficient at using the wire.
This doesn't answer the question that was asked.

So let me get this straight, you think most home owners know what they doing? You gonna spend a premium on the hardware and mess the install? You cant get the warranty unless a license installer registers it on your behalf for HVAC with the bigger brands.

I seen people put PVC on supply and exit line of those electric tankless water heaters on amazon which is dam near insanity. My buddy thinks he can DIY anything, did a water tank in his house, messed that up, blamed the unit, bought another one, messed that up too, on the 3rd tank, with the help of a real plumber got it right. Most people wasting their time. These no-name things pumped out of china just pure junk. I laugh when I hear "I DIY'd this heat pump, put a hole in my wall and dragged a 240v line too." Surely nothing can go wrong.
I'm not thinking or saying that at all. Just replying to your comment about the cost. You didn't clarify wether or not labor was included. IMO, for the average homeowner, a Mr. Cool would be the perfect way to go. I'm waiting on them to go on sale @ Costco.
