Wonderful, eventually
I will start by saying that finally, after installing two of these units in my 1500 sf workshop, I am very happy with them. They cool and heat very efficiently and quietly and there are not many units on the market which have the power and features of this one.
However, it was a long road getting to the happy point I am at now. I initially ordered two of these from Amazon, and they arrived quickly but both turned out to have been damaged in shipping. This is partially the truckers fault but a good deal of the blame must be laid on the manufacturer who does not package this model with sufficient protection to withstand the typical abuse which cartons endure in truck freight. There is is only about 1/2" of styrofoam between the front and top of the unit and the inside of the carton, and no crush space whatsoever. So both units arrived with bent case frames and one also had a cracked front grill piece and bent interior pieces.

This does not really have to be a long review to just let people know that assuming you don't have any shipping damage (as a few people have reported) this is a wonderful unit and works exactly as it says BUT what most people don't take time to read is that the HEATER is almost useless below 45 degrees, this is perfectly normal for a heat pump with no electric heat backup. Most people do not realize that their central unit has electric strips to produce heat when the heat pump cannot extract heat from very col and dry air. My solution to this was to purchase an oil filled radiator type heater like this DeLonghi TRD0715T Safeheat 1500W Portable Oil-Filled Radiator with Vertical Thermal Tunnels (this one is exceptional and I have bought about 4 for myself, friends and work) which I only have to use when the temps are very low. The Frigidaire does an exceptional job of cooling my 200 Sq Ft sunroom and also does a...
