Love this Mr Cool unit. It was more expensive than other non brand units but worth the extra $. Quiet, efficient, economical. Don’t have to heat or cool the whole house w this. Easy to install. Will purchase again for another room.

We have had 3-separate spilts in this old house. Started with a Samsung (disaster), then a Daikin (disappointment) and now this Mr Cool. The Mr Cool is the _only_ machine that has worked worth a darn! We could not imagine that we could install this ourselves, but we did! No technician needed! Excellent instructions. But, best of all - the machine actually blows cold air just like a window unit. Do you know how on those window units, when you turn them on COLD they blow COLD? Well, the Samsung never would, and the Daikin barely did, but these Mr Cool... holy moly, you turn them on cold and they are cold! Then, to top it off, the 'fan noise' from the Mr Cool is noticeably quieter than either of the others. Then, to top off the top off, it has a 'turbo' mode, that... well... stand back, this will knock the papers off your tables - it blows hard. It is remarkable that this cools so well, we were beginning to give up on the whole spilt idea, the machines have been terrible. Except when we would throw them in to test (cuz we were wondering why they weren't cooling) and then they would cool! Why they wouldn't cool based on demand we cannot understand and no technician could explain. Even had factory reps looking at the Samsung... what a mess! But, the Mr Cool has redeemed the Mini Split industry for us.My Mr Cool install was a little more difficult because I put the pipes on the "left" side of the head. Big mistake. Put the piping on the "right" side, straight out the back of the wall, and make your connections on the "outside" of the wall. Otherwise you're forced to make the connections inside and "underneath" the head which is super cramped. It can be done, but I won't from this point forward.I will be buying more of these once my window units start to crap out.Super Satisfied!

This is the second MrCool DIY unit I have installed and they have both been pretty easy for a knowledgeable DIY person. A couple of things that I have learned from the first install helped me greatly on the second.Follow the directions closely and read the entire install manual before starting anything (trust me).Make sure to have a helper for the heavy lifting it makes life a lot easier.I bought a mini split line set cover kit off amazon ($30) because the line set is facing the street and I wanted to protect and cleanup the look as well.I poured a small concrete pad using 2x4s as a frame (17”x30”). It required roughly 3 bags of concrete. Might be overkill but I let it cure for a week before using ¼” concrete wedge anchors to secure the unit to the pad. The dimensions of this pad fit the 9k BTU heat pump very well.My house has cement block which I thought was going to be tough to drill through but it wasn't. The key here is to buy a concrete hole saw. I bought mine on amazon for about $20. It drilled right through the wall with my corded hammer drill and light force. If you push too hard the bit will dull quickly. Let the tools do the work.I found the drain line to be a little short so I bought a mini split drain hose extension ahead of the install. (You may not need this but I installed mine high on the wall)You should get a licensed electrician to install the unit. However, the wiring is straightforward.Lastly, the MrCool system is great. The condenser is roughly 4 feet from my bedroom and I cannot hear it running at all. The inside unit is not noisy and the constant air movement (I have mine set to fan ON) helps me sleep while keeping the room at the perfect temperature. The efficiency of the unit has been quite surprising as my electricity bill has reduced compared to this time last year. We no longer coolheat the entire house to keep our bedroom perfect. The MrCool app works pretty well too. I wish it had an auto off for the LED at night.I hope this helps you. I wish someone had told me some of these things before my first install.

The install was fairly straightforward except for the line connection. You really need to review, plan, re-review, plan some more on how you run the connection through the wall. In my case it was a metal building with 4-6" foam on the walls. I had difficulty getting the bend that I wanted coming off the back of the wall unit and also the bend going down the outside wall. These lines are VERY EASY TO PINCH, so you have to be careful not to completely flatten them out when bending to the angle that you want. Take your time and make several small bends. I was worried that my bends had weakened the line, but it is still holding after 4 seasons of use. My bard is very large, 40x60, so this is unsized for the space that I'm heating/cooling, but I did not intend to control to household climate standards. I'm really using it to keep the barn above freezing and control summer heat/humidity. For that it works exactly as I intended. In prolonged sub zero temperatures, I assume that I'll need supplemental heat to keep the barn above 32 degrees. It never got below 40 last winter, but we didn't have the extreme weather of prior years. The wall unit is HEAVY. Plan for a 2-man installation and for a metal barn like mine, be sure to install a large cross board between posts so you have a secure mounting surface. Mount the outside unit on the ground (mine is bolted to a concrete slab). If you wall mount the outside unit, it will make the inside of your building hum or rumble all the time.
