GARVEE Mini Split AC/Heating System With WiFi, With Energy Star Certification, 18000 BTU 23 SEER 2 208/230V~, Suitable for 1250+ Sq. Ft

I bought the 9,000 BTU Acekool unit model number CMS9 Pro. You can check the AHRI directory for detailed energy efficiency ratings.All in all this is a good unit. Unfortunately the biggest con is that the interior temperature sensor is off by about 4-5 degrees. If I want the room to be 72 degrees I need to set the thermostat to 77 degrees. Also when the unit was new it put out an oily mechanical smell during heating mode. I did not smell it during cooling.Other than that, the unit was a good purchase. It has great efficiency using about 271 watts in heating mode with an outside ambient temperature of 55 degrees F.Installation was somewhat involved, however with the correct tools the job is very manageable. This is the 4th A/C unit I have installed. I have saved thousands of dollars by doing it myself even after investing in the tools.I recommend that you buy these additional items:1. Flaring kit for cutting the tubing to a shorter length2. Nylog Blue for sealing connections3. High quality dual stage vacuum pump4. Micron vacuum gauge5. Valve core removal tool 5/16"6. Nitrogen tank and regulator7. Big Blu Brush On MicroLeak Detector Blue8. Nitrogen tankA few things I learned along the way:1. Install a GFCI receptacle nearby. This is a code requirement and it helps with the vacuum pump.2. Install an electrical disconnect. This is also a code requirement.3. If possible install the unit on the North side of the building to avoid UV exposure and reduce ambient heat.4. Use a wall mount or pour a concrete pad. Check the minimum heights required by code.5. If the indoor unit will be more than 16ft apart, call a professional. They will need to calculate and fill additional R410 based on each additional linear foot of piping.6. if the unit is less than 16ft away I recommend cutting the piping shorter and flare the ends.

Very pleased with value and the ease of installation .Installed it by myself in my garage without any complications. Considering a buying a second on for the house living room addition.

Bought 2 of these units. The first one arrived a bit damaged from shipping. Garvee sent a replacement; and quite satisfied with the outcome.I am also an HVAC technician ; quite an avid DIYer. It was not so easy to install by yourself; but if there is an extra hand; it will be quite an easy install.Installed it myself and it has been working flawlessly for the whole summer and now part of winter. It's doing well so far.The company deserves better than to whine and complain about a few bent fins, Dents or cosmetic scratches. The unit does well to sit outside & out of sight.I will be running this unit with solar in the very near future; and I'll be sure to enjoy my hear and cool.For the price; it was my best choice.My living arrangement are 1100 square feet, ranch style home. And this unit satisfies an 800 square feet open living room/ kitchen quite nicely. It is also very quiet.I would recommend and buy from them again if I had to.

My occupation is HVAC so I was curious about this mini-split heat pump for such a low price. I am very pleased at the performance. It’s super quiet and efficient. I purchased this 9,000Btuh unit to heat my basement home office which is cold all year. I am very pleased with the installation I performed myself with purchasing additional $400 in HVAC tools for a proper installation. Would buy again.

[UPDATE 11/05/2024]When I received the indoor unit, I noticed some odd sheen damage to a large area of the front. It was very not noticeable at most angles, so I went ahead and installed it. Once I had it installed, I noticed that this area was quite a bit more apparent while walking past the unit. It looked like someone tried to clean an area of it with a scotch bright pad. I contacted the seller asking for a replacement of this front cover. Within a few days, I had the replacement. It only took a single message for them to quickly send me a replacement. I cannot say enough about the amazing customer service they provide. This has been a wonderful experience![ORIGINAL REVIEW]I purchased this item to cool and heat my backyard studio.I did not want to use my window unit anymore due to the noise and air leaks. The window units are never fully sealed in the window. As this small building is being turned into a streaming studio, I did not want the noise of a window air conditioner.The unit itself is the same as any other low-cost unit on the market. In fact, this same unit is sold under many different brands. Many of them costing more.Delivery of the 2 boxes was great except for a delay on the second box that was an issue with FedEx. The seller made this issue right as soon as I made them aware of it. Even offering to send a second unit out if the issue with the first one not being delivered on time was not resolved the next day. It was in fact delivered the very next day. This is not a review on the shipping, but I wanted to mention the level of customer service from this seller.Due to my physical limitations, it took 3 days to install as I have to take constant long breaks. I'm sure an able-bodied person could install this in a single day.I did not like the part that goes through the wall as it just would not work because the way it is designed, it does not fit behind the wall unit. I ordered a flanged kit which solved the issue. I suggest you do the same.I also ordered a cover kit for the lines. It looks so much better this way and protects the insulation on the pipes from sun damage.HEAT MODE: I was totally amazed how hot the air is coming out. It was 44F outside and felt like the air was coming from an electric heater. It's really impressive how well this heat pump works in heat mode. It's also crazy how cold the air coming from the outside unit is in this mode. The only way I could install the outdoor unit was with the fan blowing across in front of the door, and boy is it cold stepping out! It's a small cost to pay to have cheap warm heat inside the building.COOLING MODE: I ran it in cooling mode for about 30 minutes as the instructions say to do. It felt cold but it's not as apparent as the heat was. The temp inside the building was 64F and the air coming out was 50F. I'm not sure how accurate my temp sensor is, but both measurements were from the same sensor. I read you want to aim for 20F differential between the intake and exhaust air. Being only 44F outside, I'm thinking that had something to do with it. I'll update my review during the summer if it has an issue keeping up.SOUND LEVEL: The outside unit is right outside the window. I do not hear it at all from inside. I hear traffic go by, but not this. Even standing outside by it, you only hear the fan, when it's on turbo and a little bit from the compressor. I mean a little bit. It's barely audible. when in normal mode, it's even quieter. The inside unit is almost silent. It's not even in the same league as a window unit because the compressor is right in the window. The only sound the wall unit makes is the fan, but it's very quiet. It has a silent mode, and it sounds like it's off. Seriously I had to get up and put my hand in front of it to see if it was actually still on.Overall, this is a great unit for a very low price and great customer service. I do recommend buying a better designed through wall tube thing, but other than that it's great. I do recommend it.

Install took about five hours by myself. Never installed a mini split before and I think it was really easy. You will need a vacuum pump and a hole saw to complete installation. I chose to use a stand to put the outdoor unit on so I could coil the excess line set under the unit instead of behind it. Works really well in my 600 sg ft garage. The heat warms up my space very well. Only tested the cooling side once and it was cold. Shipped FedEx Ground the next business day after purchase. Would buy it again.

Al lado esta el viejito El nuevo menos ruido mas frio rapido menos espacio OMG Superrr Feliz

Rovsun, Della… AceKool…Just look at the case and the remote..Same unit different stickers..What impressed me was the SEER rating, 23! Not bad!Easy install (2nd time around) make sure you pressure test before vacuumingWorks great! WiFi app is a nice touch!

Tired of working in my 400 sq ft hot garage in south florida so bought this 9K unit,It has WiFi controls which are great as the control app has timers. I have the AC set to turn on when i need it too and turn off for the night.Here is what you need to make this work without calling local AC guy:Vacuum pump and gauges, AC valve core tool (ASIN B07V3WHL9B), 3" concrete round bit or 1" bit, available outdoor power outlet.Mounting is easy on wood, it's PITA when drilling through concrete blocks. You can drill 3" hole or 3 1" holes next to each other. 2.75" hole is a little tight! Snake the fat tube first, connect it to the blower unit, then snake through the power and drain, the lastly, the skinny tube and connect it to the blower.Unless you have a professional gauge set that has a valve opener on one end of the yellow hose, you'll need to use the valve adapter. Connect it, unscrew the valve inside it as shown in the photo, then close the yellow valve and vacuum the lines. After about 10 minutes, turn off the vacuum pump, and close low press valve on gauge set. Leave the gauge set connected for at least 10 minutes to see if it's leaking! After that, open the yellow valve, screw the valve back into the brass valve block and disconnect the vacuum pump.If no leaks, then unscrew the top and bottom brass caps and use the right size allen wrench to unscrew the top valve 1/4 turn slowly, you'll hear the freon leak into the pipes. After 15-20 seconds, unscrew the bottom valve 1/4 turn. Then slowly open both valves until they stop.CAUTION! Do not force the allen to open the valves once they bottom out or the freon will blow out!Put caps back on and finish the power portion of the system.Assuming all is connected properly, turn on the unit, set to cool 65 or max heat, MAX fan and let it run for an hour.

First note at the top, Garvee "AI" answer bot said this unit was R-32. It probably is in Europe, but in the US as of July 2024 I (thankfully) received a R410a refrigerant unit.Installed in a family member's mobile home after the old r22 system kicked the bucket. All these inexpensive units are made the same, probably by the same company. No surprises, super thin line set BE CAREFUL bending/straightening especially the larger vapor return line. It will kink in no time. I opted to shorten the vapor return line and braze couplings at the indoor unit connection to reduce the number of flares. Have the benefit of nitrogen tank and other professional tools (flow nitrogen if you braze!) and manifold set, and a fieldpiece vacuum pump. First pressure test with 150psi nitrogen had a small leak at the king valve flare. Tiny scratch in the flare caused it to leak. Re-flared and it held 165psi for 45 mins. First vacuum only went to 600 micron. Had to double evacuate due to amount of moisture in the lines and/or evaporator. Pulled deep vacuum to 200 micron (took almost 20 minutes) and opened the valves. Super quiet ODU, wish these split systems had better fans/air flow inside but that's how they're getting this efficiency.On turbo mode, with indoor air at 79*F temp we saw a maximum of a 25 degree delta temperature. This was with 90-95* outdoor temps. Extremely happy, would (and probably will) buy again!Wi-Fi app worked with 0 issues. Family member is happy and cool!
