Our take on the Upstreman 12000 BTU Mini Split Air Conditioner & Heater

The Upstreman 12000 BTU Mini Split is a ductless heat pump that both cools and heats, rated at 20 SEER2 on the 230V version. It runs seven modes (cool, heat, dry, fan, sleep, auto, eco) and is rated to cover up to 750 square feet. Control comes from a remote or a phone app, and it adds a 24-hour timer, self-cleaning cycle and outdoor auto-defrost. Against name-brand mini splits it offers the same core inverter feature set for less, but it has a thin review base and a 230V install that most buyers cannot do themselves.
