    What reviewers say

    MRCOOL DIY Easy Pro 18,000 BTU 18.5 SEER Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioner & Heat Pump – 230V

    Owners rate it 4.8 out of 5 across 21 ratings, and the recurring theme is that the quick-connect install really is manageable for a careful DIYer. Most praise cooling power and quiet operation; complaints center on the 230V wiring work and occasional app pairing trouble.

    Pros
    • Straightforward install with pre-charged lines
    • Strong cooling for large rooms
    • Quiet indoor unit in normal operation
    • Heating works well in mild winter climates
    Cons
    • Needs a 230V circuit, which often means an electrician
    • WiFi setup can be finicky
    • Condenser is heavy to lift alone
