Good equipment, priced well very. easy to install even if you’re a novice.
Directions and videos were great.
if you know a little bit about electric and a lot about putting air conditioner in windows pretty much the same thing. I suggest buying the wire molding with the equipment, makes the job a lot neater, and cleaner.

The unit showed up early, and although the box was punctured, the insides were fine. I took my time and read the installation manual about 8 times before starting. Not everything is covered in the manual, but was is in there is very well written and mostly easy to understand. Nothing in the manual about running tubing out the sides of the indoor unit, but one call to customer service confirmed it is set up to do that. (Why don’t they explain that in the install manual?) I ended up running mine out the back.
It would be nice if they explained how to actually attach the UV tape. It has no sticky back, so one is left to improvise. A little guidance would help. The drain hose they supply is very flimsy. I purchased the outdoor bracket from Amazon. JEACENT Outdoor Wall Mounting Bracket for Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner Heat Pump Systems, Universal, 7000-18000 Btu Condenser.
Otherwise, it as not hard to do most of the install myself (with a helper for last day), and it took 2.5 days total. Take your time, double check everything.
UPDATE after 4 months. I am very pleased with my Mr. Cool unit. It’s very quiet and hasn’t increased my electric bill very much as far as I can tell. I’ve left it running for a month straight during this very hot summer in SC, and set at 76deg my shop is cold.

We purchased the 12k unit and went with the 120 V unit 25 amp just due to the lack of electrical available
So far impressed with 120 V unit AC works great heat is fine but don’t expect a lot out of it at least in the northeast here where we live

I purchased this unit which is 36,000BTUs rated for 1500 sq ft for my 1200 sq ft shop. It was pretty easy to install though NOBODY would use a 1/2″ conduit connection from the power supply to the condenser, so it should be a 3/4″ connection. Other than the crap instructions and pictures, took about 2 days or 10 hours. I am VERY capable of doing this work and will say my 1st attempt at an AC unit of any kind. Bottom line it turned right on, blows cold air despite the poor fan speed and simply is incapable of keeping my shop below 87 degrees, even on some days when it is just above 80 degrees. I did 4 tests all starting around 97, 92, 87, 95 inside and 101, 96, 94, and 83 inside. I NEVER got a reading below 87 degrees in my shop even after running for over 24 hours straight through the night when the temperature outside fell into the low 70s each night. I think I would need 4 of these units to get the workable comfort level that I was expecting. It is too bad, I cannot return it a so I am out 2 days work and $3000. Don’t make the same mistake!!!!

Well, so far….so wonderful! We watched videos and read the instruction, first of all. Hubby then laid out all the parts and they were all intact, well packed too. He then poured a concrete pad for the outside compressor and allowed it to dry and cure. Once he knew everything was ready, he took his time, a few hours, and installed the unit. WOW, AMAZING! Both inside and outside units are whisper quiet; can’t really hear the inside unit on the other side of the room. When I returned home from work, we installed the USB unit so we could control the system remotely from the app and from Alexa….this is great!
Please be sure you take your time and follow instructions. Watch some YouTube videos, good ones, because there are definitely some lousy ones that will get you into trouble during install. All said and done? The install was easy and this unit will save you so much money because you don’t need to hire a pro.
Cooling and Heating is so comfortable, without blowing hard or loudly into the room. The fan mode works well, as well. Right now I canno say enough about this system….wish we would’ve purchased this years ago.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy your Mr. Cool as much as we do.
Will add indoor pics soon.
UPDATE: We’ve been using this unit daily and are absolutely impressed! We live in the desert so this time of year morning temps are in the 40s and daytime in the 80s, therefore we use AC and heat in the same day and this Mr. Cool is impressive, to say the least. I’m so hoping it is quality and holds up because we’re so happy with this purchase.

Life savor when you don’t need a full system. It works and looks good so far. Nice clean install. I’ll update if there are any breakdowns. I’d recommend so far.
