   I purchased DELLA 9000 BTU from Amazon. The unit was delivered on time, perfectly packaged and clear instruction how to install it. Installation took a little time but was not too complicated. I decided to run the system before buttoning the system for the final time.

   I run the system for about a day or so and it work great. My room is about 340 sq ft and it was cooled down very quickly. The system worked fast and quit. I finally got a good night sleep in comfortable and quit environment. During the weekend I disconnected the system, configured for the final time, reconnected the electrical cables and the pipes. Then I run the final test to vacuum the system. When running the final test I used a bad cable (purchased from a store) that had a bad connector. As the test run the coolant in the system leaked through the bad connector of the cable.

   I was very frustrated and called DELLA customer line for help. I did not hope that they can do something for me since the malfunction was entirely my fault. DELLA customer service representative was very curious and kind. I could not believe that she offered me to replace to outside unit for no additional cost. It’s extremely rare to get such an exceptional customer service.

   A great system that cools down and warms up your house, works through wifi and Alexa and run very quietly. I highly recommend DELLA to anyone who is looking for an excellent AC system and for great customer service. Thank you for everything.

   Performance, efficiency, size, cost.

   I bought this mini-split unit because it is one of the few that I could install myself. Although it requires having a vacuum pump and a vacuum gauge set the investment in tools is minimal compared to the cost of having a unit like this professionally installed. Please note: the unit itself is very straightforward as far as connecting the inside and outside units together and charging the system HOWEVER there is a significant amount of additional work that needs to happen to actually get the unit fully installed on your house. This additional work may include running new electrical branch circuits through your house, opening up walls with all of the associated drywall, stucco or siding repair, possible concrete work, possible plumbing work, finishing work to cover the refrigeration pipes, etc. Just be certain that you know what you are getting into before starting this project. That said, I did install the unit myself, it turned out great and I am very happy with it but it was considerably more work than I had anticipated.

   The unit itself is fantastic! It cools my 12′ x12′ bedroom down in minutes and has enough additional cooling capacity to keep my entire house cool on a 100 degree day just by placing a small fan at the door of the bedroom that blows the cold air to the rest of the house. At night it keeps the bedroom cool while making hardly any noise. The noise that it does make is a quiet ssshhhhhhh sound that is about as loud as a whisper and it works perfectly as a white noise generator.

   The outside unit is also very quiet. When I first turned it on I didn’t even realize it was running. I chose to wall mount the outside unit on brackets as opposed to bolting it to a concrete slab but I imagine it would be even quieter if it was slab mounted. If you wall mount it you will need to purchase brackets separately. There are specially designed brackets specifically for mini-splits and they are relatively inexpensive.

   So far my only complaints about the unit itself is the lack of adequate protection for the refrigerant lines. The tape wrap that comes with the kit is woefully inadequate in my opinion and I ran out of the tape with several feet left to go. Even with the tape the lines appear unfinished and are poorly protected from the elements. To address the issue I bought a mini-split duct kit to cover the lines which resulted in a well protected, professional looking final installation (see picture). Consider this step an absolute necessity.

   I decided not to bother installing the wifi control app on my phone. Based on what I could see the only additional advantage of the app is being able to set schedule times which is a feature that I don’t use.

   Considering the immense value for this mini-split unit I would absolutely recommend it as long as you are an advanced level DIY’er. If you are not comfortable dealing with electrical installations and the National Electrical Code and if cutting a big hole through your wall scares you then I might suggest finding a different solution to your cooling situation.

   So we built a 40x80x16 metal building and needed a solution to heat and cool it. We got spray foam installed and figured two of these 36k BTU systems would be sufficient. And we were correct! They easily maintain 75 degrees here in the Florida summer weather. In the evenings we have gotten it down to 70 with no issues. This has made working in our shop so much better, it’s really a game changer!!

   And let’s talk about the value! Each of the 2 systems we bought came in about 1000 bucks less than the MR Cool systems. That’s a 2k $ savings overall!!

   Install wasn’t difficult at all. The instructions were pretty straight forward and there was plenty of reference material on Youtube. We also made a video installing this system if you search up CertifiedRippers on Youtube you can see our install video.

   All in all this was a great by. They’ve been running now for a couple of months without a hiccup. Highly recommended!!!
