Senville LETO Series Mini Split Air Conditioner Heat Pump, 9000 BTU 208/230V, Inverter, Works with Alexa, 0.75 Ton, White

6/20/24Unit is still performing GREAT! It's been near 100 degrees for days and the unit is keeping up without effort. I have left it running for a couple weeks now, it actually throttles back during the hottest part of the day. Seems to be a very good unit!Installed over a couple days. Instructions are lacking but if you're mechanical you can figure it out. Youtube is your friend! Mounting the inside unit was pretty straight forward. I used the Senville mounting kit outside. I opted to provide my own 6" mounting bolts, going all the way through the studs from the inside to outside. Make sure you put at least four bolts in the top mounting rail.I was concerned about bending the copper lines without damage. Turns out Senville has permanent springs (like the ones you'd use for bending pipes) wrapped around the copper lines where the tight bends will occur. The bends went easy, just take your time.The install time will very much depend on your application. Things like, how far will you have to pull electricity, the path of the electricity, will you have to cut open a wall to pull the wiring? Will your outside unit be elevated, do you have a platform to work on or will it all be ladder work?Something I didn't consider was the drain line. I ended up having to install a drain under a gravel parking area. Not a big deal but you should consider where the water will go. Oh, and this thing puts out water like a garden hose! Literally a steady stream, not dripping, but a steady stream!Quality: It appears, thus far, to be really well made! I bought the 220volt 24K unit. The thing is super quite inside and outside. My Goodman units are much louder!Performance: I installed the unit in a 30X40 garage with a 13' ceiling. The garage is very well insulated with no windows. So far, the unit has cooled it well and it has been hot and very humid.I would but again and likely will buy again.

Bought this for my 1350 Square Foot finished basement. This unit provides AC, Heat and dehumidifying which is exactly what I needed. After a month or more of use, it admirably provides all of that and does so efficiently and quietly!Installation. This is the only Mini-split I have ever installed so there is always a learning curve. I am very familiar with HVAC and I have many of the tools already since I worked on automotive HVAC from time to time and I consider myself to be a pretty knowledgeable on the subject. You will need a set of gauges, evacuation/vacuum pump, you may need a flaring tool, a hole saw 3.5"....and if you were like me, I was going through brick and concrete block so be ready to spend some money on that since masonry bits that size with a drill to go with it are not cheap! If you are going through siding and wood it is a much easier proposition. I would also recommend getting a cover kit for all the piping so you can make it look neat and protect all of that from elements.Power...you will need 220V at 25Amp, with a disconnect on the outside next to the unit and it will need to be accessible for future service and it is hardwired from your box to the outside AC unit. In my case, the air-handler that in on the inside of the home, is powered from a cable that comes from the outside unit so no additional receptacles were required.With this purchase it came with 16' of copper hose (two), a control power cable and drain hose. Depending on your application you may want to shorten the hoses or you may need to add to it. In either case this will require a flaring tool...fittings do come with the system if you need to this. If you need to extend the tubing to over 25' you will also need to add "Freon" so unless you are a licensed A/C contractor, well you may need one for that. 16' was actually perfect for my application.I have a family member who is an electrician, so I had that part installed and permitted to keep everything up and up especially when/if I sell the house. He also helped me install the Mini-Split. It took us about 4 hours to install and we had no issues with the installation and because he is an electrician he had the 3.5" masonry drill bit and 1/2 inch rotary drill that we needed.I can say it was pretty straight forward and there are plenty of YouTube videos where people do step by step installation. The instructions are helpful but confusing at times, so this is where experience is helpful to read in between the lines...since the instructions are for multiple units they sell and they are not all the same!!!!Now that I have done one I feel pretty confident to do another. I would also buy this product again with out hesitation. My only recommendation is if you have to buy the tools to be able to do the job, I would recommend just calling an AC professional and have them install. The cost of the necessary tools you may need may not be worth the investment unless you plan to do more of these in the future. If you do not even have a vacuum pump, gauges, flare tool etc, then you likely do not have experience either, and I would recommend you seek professional installation.Note: I saw on some videos people not vacuuming out the lines and just putting the systems together and releasing the preloaded Freon into the system (avoiding the need to purchase or rent a evacuation/vac pump). This is a bad idea since it introduces air and moisture into the system that will degrade its performance, shorten life span of the components and voids the warranty, plus you need that step to check for leaks. Freon is not cheap!Take a gut check on this. If you are handy and confident with your skills, go for it! If you are not sure, maybe seek someone out who has done it to help, or just call an competent HVAC tech to come out and do it for you.

This is the second unit j have purchased and installed in last 2 months. They work flawlessly thus far. Very quiet and very cool air for my all seasons room and garage.

The unit is great and very easy to set up. The price is great and energy is great and and cooling ability
