My old mini-split in the garage kept leaking coolant, so I looked for a higher-quality brand. I found this one with really good specs and a nice size, and I had to give this one a try. I was not disappointed; this one has worked out great. First off, I love how easy this one was to install and with no issues too. Came with everything, the hoses, wiring, mounting brackets, and really easy-to-understand instructions too. Install was in place of another one, so the hole was already there. The hoses easily fit and connected to the outside unit easily as well. Wiring was easy, already had the outside connections, so all in all, took me just under two hours to install. Secondly, it works great. I like how it puts out the cool and is so quiet when it does it, too. It is so nice how it brings the garage to temp and keeps it at temp too. The remote control adjusts the temperature and modes and does it from a pretty good distance as well. Lastly, I really like the outside unit, which is a lot quieter than my old one, and the neighbors even mentioned it too. Also, I highly recommend testing the connections with soap water and look for bubbles. I had one fitting I did not tighten enough, and found it that way, and is a foolproof test too. No cons, it really worked out great for me, and I am very happy with the purchase.

This item works quite well. Quiet. It almost makes no noise. It will pay for itself within a year. When my wife and I spend the most of our time in the kitchen nook, there’s no need to chill the entire 4000 square foot house with a 5 ton air conditioner. Easy to set up. I completed mine in approximately 3 hours, not including many trips to the hardware shop. Simply watch the installation video a few times. It includes everything you need for a basic installation, but I believe most users will want to purchase additional items for their own setup. Comes pre-charged with freon. Before the lines can be opened, the system must be emptied.

Works Great, instalation went OK for my 1st time installing a mini split system.

I’m speaking on two units I just installed over the past two weeks so this isn’t a full “reliability over time” review.
As described, the units arrived in two boxes each (the indoor unit with it’s bits in one box and the other bits in the outdoor box).
Since the units are economically priced and the performance ratings seem quite good, and I only need heat in the shoulder seasons before I switch to full on wood heat (vs the $$$ electric forced air), they seemed to fit the bill. The heating comment is based on the notes that these will work down to -10C (14F). I don’t know if that means the units will cease to work or if they will lose efficiency, time will tell.
With all that, I decided to do the install myself. Here is where you learn about vacuum pumps, gauges and oil (another ~$200), electrical cutoffs, codes, etc. Did my research before I ordered and the work involved seemed to be straight forward, including running 12/2 wire and conduit (and a new breaker / etc).
Following various install videos and a chat with an HVAC buddy of mine, I quickly determined the best approach and took it, and here’s what I learned:
– the 2″ hole required is going to be a tight fit, so when wrapping with the vinyl, make it tight. If one goes larger than 2″, note that the wall cap cover isn’t going to fit (as it’s 2″) and the larger hole will require more filling.
– the drain hole in the bottom of the outdoor unit is 25 mm, and if you cannot drain directly out, you will need some extras for it (note the size). I installed my units onto a wood deck so I didn’t want the water just running wherever so I did this bit of extra, and here is where you need to know the size, which is in the manual
– One has to remove all the plastic protective shipping covering from the indoor head to get the tape off, which has to be done to install the com wire. Make sure to take care when handling afterwards to not mark up the plastic.
Once the connections were made, line sets torqued to spec, vacuumed for 15 minutes and vacuum leak checked via gauge, everything in place and electrics connected, only then I opened the valves to release the R32 gas and pressure checked all the fittings again for leaks ( with a 50/50 soapy water solution).
Verifying no leaks, time to throw the power. LEDs lit up and with some batteries in the remote, I had the unit pumping out heat within minutes of turning on the main power.
The units so far work as planned. The heat stability in the house is better than ever (haven’t had to cool with them yet, may update after next summer). They are very quiet, even the outdoor units are near impossible to hear inside, and outside it’s mostly a whirring fan sound.
Now, why the support comment? One outdoor unit arrived in a damaged box, which I didn’t notice until after the delivery guy was long gone. When I opened the box, I noticed that the unit had a considerable dent on the business end (connectors / electrics / control unit). I contacted Costway via the Amazon contact process, complete with explanation and photos of the box and the unit, and in less than 24 hours they had a new outdoor unit on it’s way. If I could complain about anything it would be the nearly two weeks to wait for the new unit (same time to get the original one). However as I was not intending to install them right away (and I had one good unit to install currently) and Costway DID CHECK to see if the time to receive it was OK, and it was so I’m not faulting anyone.
So far so good, and time will tell. At this stage I’m recommending my friends and family to consider these units as I now know what is involved for the install, and they work well (they are quiet and throws heat, cooling shouldn’t be an issue, and reasonable to install with what’s provided).

For the first week or two, this machine did not like running anywhere near freezing. It completely iced over on the protective screen. Thus it could not the ice and make any heat. Once I discovered, the icing was on the protective screen, I took it off. Then it worked much better. Heated my home down to -17 Cthe coldest day this winter. But!, When there’s high humidity around 0° This device struggles to make heat. It doesn’t like the high humidity conditions. It ices over and spends most of its time deicing. I don’t know if there’s a solution to fix that. Or if it’s a problem with justice model, or if this is a common problem on all heat pumps. That being said, it ran flawlessly all winter. it might be that this heat pump is too small for my living space. In terms of near 0° high humidity conditions. I recommend getting a larger size then you need if you’re going to use it for heating. Probably in all brands.

Instructions are very unclear, definetly translated from another language.
Very quiet operation, very cold on demand. Took an afternoon to install and very happy with the results. Hoping it stays working like this for the long run.
Must perform vacuum on unit. Do not just hook up the lines and go. You must vacuum purge the lines and indoor unit before opening the valves on the outdoor unit. I used a pneumatic vacuum pump and manifold set that I use on automotive air conditioning and needed no special adapters. Once you pull 30in of vacuum let it sit for 15 minutes and check the vacuum for losses before you even think about opening the valves on the outdoor unit. The indoor unit and lines hold so much air that not doing a vacuum will contaminate the system.

The product is great. It is super easy to install if you watch the video Amazon has on product listing. If you got by the directions then you will be lost. I recommend getting the wall mount for the outside unit. The unit both heat and cools great. I am super happy with it.
UPDATE: 4/23/2023
The unit stopped functioning 3 days after install. I called the “customer service” number for Costway and got little to no help. The machine put up a code that they have never heard of and they wanted me to send them a video of the unit so they could trouble shoot it. While I was waiting I called all the local HVAC processionals in my city and they said they could not help me either due to the Free-on in the unit. There is little to no R-32 for sale in the states that I could find. I had a HVAC professional come out and looked at it and they said it need for Free-on and there had to to be a leak in the unit because the lines were sealed.
BEWARE OF THIS UNIT.
