No you should not buy one. I have one and it is horrible. Connection takes forever. Worst part is you cant trust it. Says its locked when its not. Not all the time but it has happened more than once.

I was so waiting to try one of these, but every youtuvbe video I watch and reviews on reddit I read is nothing but junk. You are buying a low-cost "cheap" piece of junk that's meant to fail.

Good assessment, thanks. insulation is the best investment! That is #1 rule of saving money and the environment.

The noise from your air handler motors is definitely normal. I have two handlers and have had them for 3.5 years and they are silent. Also I have had incredibly good results with their warranty.

Thank you for a comprehensive review of your experience. I've installed 9 units I purchased for two homes from Alpine Air. I had to hire a certified technician to charge these systems... You;re correct... it's hard to find someone to do this work, so Mr. Cool will be my supplier for my next project. I suspect most of these are manufactured in China, so I'm concerned about the forecast high tariffs... My other concern focuses on EPA refrigerant standards. I've 'heard' that some refrigerants will no longer be allowed after January. I wonderi you have some guidance for us with respect to these two challenges. Thank you.

And getting parts when it quits on a weekend lot of small parts and plastic.

I would say from years in the field 5 years tops on mini split

I will be purchasing ours from Home Depot and need to know if I'm getting the orecharged n sealed lines setup?? Can you advise me??

My heat pump unit will be under an overhang car port walled in so no exposure to sun or snow or rain.😅 Dandahermit that follow me feature is Kool.

I only have one zone so I wouldn't have a dual function problem

I'm glad I found your review. Subbed and will follow. I'm off grid and will need a 120 volt system. Have much Solar and wind power. Up above the snowline in NE Washington state in a small cabin and your review was what I needed to hear. Thanks Dandahermit. I'm 80 yrs old and too old for the work if my wood heat system. Great content Av winter temp zero to high 20s.

MRCool is a brand from Midea, perhaps the biggest global manufacturer of such equipment, they also own the Carrier brand... That noise from your FanCoil unit is not normal and sounds like a bearing problem.

Regard the mode issue, why not allow the thermostat to determine which mode the unit is in? Mr Cool?

I love your videos, can i be your your thumbnail designer? i know you already have one i just wanna work with you :)

We have some Perfect Aire units which look very similar to Mr Cool. I could not get anyone to come out and see why one of them would start to "smell" (according to my wife). No HVAC people will touch DIY minisplits. They will happily replace them, at 5-10x the DIY cost though!

I purchased mine through air purifier depot and have had Mr Cool send me a 50 ft communication wire since I originally had 2 25ft connected together and had an issue and now they are sending me a new motor since one of my units has started making a hissing noise. They have been great to work with so far.

NEVER BUY A MR COOL DIY UNIT. Lasted 4 months and quit. Now they are giving a run around

First time watching this. Ya'll helped a bunch. I hope to gt these mini splits set up within the next six months. Are your splits 110 or 220 just curious. Thank you.

No mask?

some of the new mini splits you can do heat and cool on different units it has an extra line I believe

My Mr cool is over 6 years old keeping my oversized two car garage cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Zero problems

how much do you save paying the extra 1200 for the diy kit vs hiring someone to charge the lines?

These things are chinese junk. I have a Pioneer that is leaking after a few short years.

Probably your bearings in the motor. If you remember to clean your filters every two weeks, it will cut down on how much dirt collects in the coil and blower wheel.

replaced the engine after two years is ridiculous, even if it was covered by them, also, you can’t say all the people who said the warranty wasn’t honored are wrong …

Kaputt?

The fence looks great!! Nice work

I’m dealing with a smelling socky odor already have cleaned the whole inside system using mini split cleaning kit along with viper drain cleaner and Comstar coil cleaner also have used drain tabs my local HVAC can’t tell me why the odor persist can you help?

Are you cleaning your systems every 6 months?

Mine is Mitsubishi and is silent.

They don't work very well below 40F but there is a "power" button and heats well. I have no problems with cooling.

So what this is telling me is if I need a warranty repair I also need a popular TH-cam channel and a contracting business that encourages Mr. Cool to take care of my issue? 😁

intro way too long and repetitive.

What will happen if I didn't wash down with water?

Instead of having to wait for the compressor/condenser to defrost have you thought about building some kind of insulated box/housing that you can put over/around it during the winter months. I think some kind of temporary insulating housing has got to be better than nothing.

Wow, that is a pro. Love it and extremely helpful. I'm a handyman about to tackle a door install and want it to look beautiful. He seems like a pretty chill guy. Appreciate it!

If you buy the advantage series and a professional doesn't install it, they do void your warranty. You bought the DIY version. Advantage series is $600 cheaper, just because you dont get the cardboard template and you have to evacuate the line set, which is easy. Warranty is the downfall

3 year update coming soon?

Early in your video you talked about the savings being $8,400 . I believe on the screen it was right at $840, (12 * $70). I am sure you either got comments before about that or you just mis-calculated in your head. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

ON mini splits you shouldn't use any chemicals on the condenser coil. The coil has a color coding finish on it, it is a protector for the aluminum fins and the chemicals will start to erode that finish and you will start to see in time that color coding will have fade spots. It also makes it easy to clean with just water. If heads are sharing a condenser you have a zone system and that is why you can't cool one room and heat the other at the same time. These condensers only have one compressor. So which ever head give the call first to cool or heat that will happen first, when that head is satisfied then the other head will cool or heat. And on mini splits the air handler is actually call a "head". I am a HVAC TECH.

Thank you for the tips on the mini splits

Holy hell! My electric bill was $350 last month with central! FU South Carolina!

Overall it seems these Mini Split’s work well. I am impressed you still get decent heating in the cold weather. The noise you hear after a few years in the indoor units is an inherent issue with that type of small fan motor. Basically it’s the small ball bearings failing from hours of use and age. It’s not a specific problem in any brand, they will all eventually sound noisy with lots of hours of operation.

Or just get a bucket??😂

Hey thanks for posting. After a year, does it still hold up?

It is best practice to use two different colors for your coating to make sure you get the full thickness on both coats. white then gray or gray then white. You could have patched up any missed spots with the seams between coats.

I heard the oil concentrates on the bottom of the loops if not cut off and this inhibits the efficiency.

It heated up because you were aiming the holesaw down.

Thanks.

Between upper 20's and 85 degrees! I want to know where you live. How is the humidity?
