Customers like the temperature of the air conditioner. They say it cools and heats very well, it puts out plenty of cold air, and it has a respectable indoor temperature. The unit is quiet and keeps their garage or shop nice and cool. It has no problem holding the temperature in the low 70s when the outside temperature is low. What makes these units cool well is the low speed fan that can constantly draw humidity. The output is spot on at 22 degrees F between ambient and AC output, and the tubing came already insulated, flared ends.

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the air conditioner. They mention that the coil on the indoor unit leaks in multiple places, the electronic unit couldn't detect the leak, and tools don't work.

This review is solely my personal opinions based on the unit that I purchased. And I tried to cover things that I would want to have known before I bought it.I ordered the 9000 BTU 110 v model to supplement my central air conditioning system in my bedroom. The room is about 13 by 16 ft with high ceilings.I ordered it on Amazon and it took about a week to arrive. 3 months later, It still shows that the order is running late. The shipping company was cool. The driver called me when he was in the neighborhood. I wasn't home but he left it behind the gate for me. The boxes were strapped down to a pallet. It ships in three boxes the condensing unit, the inside unit and the copper line set.I'd never owned a split ductless before although I'd used them in hotels in Asia. I chose this brand solely based on Amazon reviews. And other people seem to have reasonably good experiences.Installation: you need to drill a 2.5" hole in the wall behind where the inside unit mounts. In my case I had to drill through about 5 inches of wood. They give you a plastic tube to put through the wall. The hole in the wall needs to slope downward so is any condensate would drain outside. Take time to plan how you will route the line set. Both lines get cold when the unit is running and any exposed copper pipe will drip condensate. They give you a bag of something that looks like Play-Doh to seal where the lines go into the building. Two months later it hasn't set up and it's still mushy. also have some nail polish remover or something to get the stuff off your skin when you're done. You will need a flaring tool to shorten the line set. You'll need a vacuum pump and a set of air conditioning gauges. Also you'll need a 5/16 to 1/4-in adapter for the service port. To wrap the line set, they include this plastic ace bandage looking thing that's worthless. I recommend buying "line set tape" on Amazon. It's basically an extra wide roll of thick electrical tape. It comes in different colors to match your house. I bought a line set cover also pioneer brand but wasn't able to use it if I wanted to maintain the slope of the drain line. Be mindful of where the drain line ends as this thing produces a lot of condensate. Also, you need a dedicated circuit for this unit. All power goes into the outside unit and there's a cable running from the outside to the inside to run the inside fan. I had it hooked up with an extension cord for a couple days until my electrician came out.Inside: The inside unit feels cheap and plasticy and literally snaps onto a bracket that you mount on the wall. It has a thin screen filter similar to a window air conditioner. I wish there were other filter options like for my central air conditioner.The outdoor condensing unit seems well made. I installed it on two pressure treated 4x4s that I set on gravel. I was afraid to mount it on the wall for noise and vibration but there is none. I installed it next to my reliable 34-year-old Trane central air conditioner. Build quality wise, I don't see this thing lasting 10-15 years.Operation: This thing is quiet and powerful! Cooling performance seems a lot better than 9,000 BTUs. When it's running, I can hear my neighbor's air conditioner two houses away over this thing. You literally have to double check that it's actually on, it's that quiet. The inside unit, initially had a fluttering noise when the fan was on but that went away after about a day of use. The fan on the inside unit runs continuously and the outside unit cycles off once it reaches temperature.BTW, This thing is 100% Chinese made. I wish there was an alternative but it seems like most of these ductless units come from China.Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I've also contemplated replacing my central air conditioning with a few more of these.Installing one of these, correctly, it's a pretty advanced DIY project.I hope this review helps somebody who's on the fence about buying one of these.Update: It's been about 2 years and I use this thing almost everyday year-round. It works better as an air conditioner than as a heater. However, except for the coldest (below 40F) days you'll be comfortable. It's still just as quiet. Still has the slight fluttering sound in the inside fan but not bothersome. The remote control is a little weird: you have to slide down this cover to get to other buttons that would seem logical to be on the main part of the remote.It also seems very energy efficient. It calls for a 20 amp 120 volt circuit but in reality when I checked it with an amp clamp, it draws it max 800watts on the hottest day.I will probably order another one of these to my living room next month. Eventually I plan on using these to replace my central air and heat. I really wish these were made somewhere other than China.Overall I'm very happy. I'm sure you will be too if you take the time to plan the installation. it's really not a DIY job imo

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, well engineered equipment
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2023
I am a retired engineer that designed, and built my 3,000 sq ft, passive solar, earth contact home over 30 years ago. I had been considering replacing my 24,000 BTU, through wall heat pump, that serves our main lower 2,000 sq ft of living area for over a year. This June my heat pump decided to die. It was only 3 years old, and under warranty. Over a 4-month period, through the entire summer, the warranty company sent a repairman out 3 times with wrong parts. Needless to say, it was a long hot summer, and thank God the house is earth contact. Looking ahead I thought this was the time for a mini split, and found that Pioneer was the best choice for me.
Now the installation problem. When I designed the passive solar home, in 1988, it has a lot of casement windows that look out on Lake of the Ozarks. There is not enough space to place any manufacturers inside equipment. The removal of one window, in a set of five was necessary.
Installation of my 24,000 BTU Pioneer equipment was easy. It is a Model WS024GMF120HLD. The inside unit makes no more noise than a summer breeze, and the outside unit we never hear in the house. Even outside the unit is very quiet. What will be interesting is how much we might save on electricity. Two years ago, I replaced my 50 gal elect hot water heater with a heat pump equipped 50 gal water heater, and it saves us about $30 a month. Our average electric bill is about $135 a month, so because of our existing efficiency I don't expect a large drop in usage, but time will tell.
The warranty company finally sent me a new replacement through the wall heat pump after 4 months. It sits boxed in my garage waiting for a new owner from Craig's list. I now have a modern unit that as a trained engineer / auto mechanic I don't need to depend on a A/C service call in a month.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good. Works well for my small rental.
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2019
I hate people telling me what I can't do. I want to live in a society that is always trying to help others do everything, from medical help to "holier than thou" HVAC work. Programmers have put open source software into everything like TVs, refrigerators, thermostats, electrical grids, airplanes, and everything else digital. Why can all other professions have the same sharing attitude?

I decided to install this myself in a small, 720 square foot decently well insulated home. This was my first time ever working with HVAC and so far it seems to have worked great. It cools off beautifully.

The first thing I have to say is that the instructions are written very well. The only part that seemed understated was the head unit wiring. It's not hard but I didn't find the instructions clear on my particular model.

I had trouble pumping a vacuum during my "tests" before install. I didn't even come close to tightening the copper properly. The instructions warned several times about "over tightening". I waaay under tightened. With the proper torch with a torch wrench, I had no problems. I pulled a vacuum, waited for a half hour, and filled the system with refrigerate as directed by the instructions. It worked great.

Running the copper lines is the most difficult and nervous part. I was very careful, and I recommend two people help with this.

The instructions are great. But there are a few things that caught me by surprise:

- The indoor unit just clings onto the bracket. If feels strange, but it looks great.
- The drain line seems a little short still.
- It came with a small bag of "plastic" something and I have no idea what that is for. The instruction made no mention.

My local discount tool place sells torch wrenches for $20 and crow foot wrench heads. You need a large head ( I believe 1") for the large line. The only place I can find that sells those is Amazon. Search for Crowfoot Wrench Set. Should run about $20. ***You need this!*** Since the heat pump mode operates at a high pressure, it's very important that it's properly tightened.

- AC Refrigeration Pump (can be bought on Amazon for about $130)
- Mini Split adapter fitting. (the pump is usually a different size then minisplit) ($15)
-Torch Wrench ($20)
-Crow Foot Wrench Set ($20) *You need this*
- HVAC flaring Kit ($35)
- Hole Saw ($20)
- Pipe cutter (for copper) ($10)
- Condenser bracket/Mounting bracket or pad ($45)
- Line cover kit ($45)
- Electrical AC disconnect ($10)
- Electrical wire
- Pipe sealant suitable for HVAC lines. ($8)

So your'e looking at around $350 if you were to buy all the extra tools and parts yourself. The electrical, with a shutoff by the unit costs about $30 for all the parts and wiring.

I've been running it on "eco" mode and it keeps the place cool on 100 degree days. I can easily get the house down to 67 if I crank the system on high.

And that's it! I'm happy so far, seems very well engineered.
