Window air conditioner is a huge electric user especially during summer when they are charging for over consumption. These splits use 1/5th or less than those plus remove gallons of humidity from the air. No comparison if you understand them fully.
Lol are you just making stuff up. Then to add "if you understand them fully" you have to be trolling. Because clearly you don't understand them at all. 1/5 is just so inaccurate. More like 30-50% more efficient than a traditional window unit and even less so versus a u-shaped inverter window unit (15-25%). Don't get me wrong they're great but you're just making numbers up…

at work we installed these each in less than 45 minutes ... open box ... get some bricks or pavers to put unit on ... drill 2.5" hole from outside to inside .... go inside and hang mounting hardware. Mount the indoor unit and connect the 3 pipes ... push pipes out hole ... go outside connect pipes to unit. ... release the freon by turning screw ...seal hole in wall ... plug in to 120v or 240V (which ever one you got)... go inside -- turn on unit and freeze to death ... literally took 45 minutes ...
That is the coolest story I've heard in a while. It literally takes hours just to evacuate the system (if you do it right). And how are you getting power over to the units too? That could be an entire day just doing that LOL. 🤦

The built-in WiFi in my old mrcool was trash. The sensibo system I use to automate all 6 of my analog AUX units is excellent. I would recommend going with an analog unit and getting sensibo if the unit is going to cost $100 less than a native wifi one and you need multiple units.

My wifi in mr cool is a game changer. I turn it on and the house is warm when I get there

FB marketplace has been my go-to for these mini splits. I just picked up one a few days ago. 22SEER2, 115V with wifi for $400. Its a prime branded unit, but there aren't really many differences in the budget units. If you move up to the LG or Mitsubishi there are obviously much higher quality units there, but the prices reflect that too and for $400 I can cool my garage for pretty cheap and if it lasts me 5 years I will be happy.
Yike, these mini split last 5 years only?
I have 3 windows ac, they have lasted me 20 years already.
I can't imagine myself needed to replace ac every five years.

I've had a Boreal manufactured by Gree for 10 years. Don't listen to the crap you read online. The only thing I've had to do to it is pull the blower wheel to clean it.

I've installed a few of these generic units myself - the 230/240v variants. It really isn't difficult and you can rent a vacuum pump and possibly even manifold gauge set locally - though you'll probably need an adapter to.. 5/16"? I can't recall exactly. The ones that do have built-in Wi-Fi control have horrendous apps, so I wouldn't call it a dealbreaker -- the terms of service basically says "we're collecting literally all the data we possibly can" and goes on to say things like "we are not, at the moment, selling this data"..... in several areas and just says "we'll let you know when we decide to sell your data in the future!". What a joke. So -- if you do go for one of these mini-splits, my recommendation is to look into the aftermarket projects for controlling them locally / avoiding 3rd party apps and cloud stuff. I block these units from talking to anything other than my HomeAssistant server - the last one I installed I used a pre-built USB dongle called SLWF-01PRO from smlight. Word of warning though - many of these (Garvee, Yitahome in my experience) use standard USB-A extensions with what looks like standard USB dongles plugged into them ... but they just use the connectors, they're actually running 12v.

So basically - Google around to see if there's protocol/hardware support for your particular unit before you buy it if you're counting on those "Smart" features. Otherwise, the remote control works just fine. Side note: Please don't electrocute yourself and note that most of these 12k BTU models will say max protection device of 10 amps or so. If you, like me, have the very popular Homeline-style breakers, the smallest 2-pole breaker you can buy is 15a, so you'll have to buy a fused AC disconnect.


Basically, if you buy one of these and already have common hand tools, a drill, a hole saw, etc.. you have a few expenses to add on. For my latest install -- I had a 240v receptacle in my garage already, so I just turned it into a junction box and used grey PVC as a conduit straight through the wall into the new fused AC disconnect mounted outside. From there, I ran a liquid-tite conduit with THHN conductors to the unit itself. Keep in mind that NEC requires a dedicated circuit, so you're wasting two panel breakers on something fused at 10 amps.

Here's some math for anyone who still cares:
** note: I buy conduit and conductors in bulk, these are prices I just pulled from Home Depot
  • Mount: $40. Optional, you can mount to concrete if you'd like -- add concrete anchors or other hardware. I opted to mount mine to the side of my garage about 4' up, above our snow line.
  • Disconnect: ~$20, if the tag says max current protection device rating of 10A... either install a 10 amp breaker or install a fused AC disconnect w/ fuses.
  • Fuses: $30 (again, if you're running anything but homeline you can probably just get a 10 amp breaker)
  • 6 foot 10/3 liquidtite conduit whip: $31 (once again, you protect based on the max amperage listed on the device label, for this one it's probably 10 amps).
  • Lineset cover: $25-50
If you're not using Homeline, you can probably just get a 10 amp 2-pole breaker. Since I was reusing a 10AWG circuit and have homeline panels, I opted for a quad-plex breaker. This take the space of 2 standard breakers, but gives you 3 total circuits, 2x 120v @ 20a + 1x 240v @ 20a. So I have my 240v circuit to the AC and two open spaces for additional 120v circuits. Had this on-hand, but they're about $50.

Some commenters say there's a 120v version of this unit. Could someone please provide a link.

Sure. People use mini-splits in campers. But this is a 230v, so your camper would need to be 50a equipped already, or be capable of plugging into 50a utility stand to power it directly.
Where on earth do you ever get the "50 amps hookup or circuit"??? lol
Realize that just because any a/c or appliance is 230v does NOT mean it is or requires a 50 amp circuit.
This unit won't even come close to exceeding a 20 amp 220v service.

Fyi I bought the same unit on Tiktok shop with wifi about 2 weeks ago. I ordered a vacuum pump. Extra tape, electrical disconnect whip and breaker. I installed this weekend in a heat wave. First time installing one. Relatively easy.

The space I had was around 625 ft2. I was running 2 portable units - one dual hose and one single. One was in an office and the other in a sit down area separated by a door.

This unit exceeds my expectations. Rooms are now cooler than running the two units. I am now only running the minisplit. No noise and soo cool.

fyi cost at the time was $329 plus tax. have another roughly $250 in equipment and supplies.
