Senville LETO Series Mini Split Air Conditioner Heat Pump, 18000 BTU 208/230V, Inverter, Works with Alexa, SEER2 19, 1.5 Ton, White

I am a recently retired HVAC tech. I can only say...WOW! lets start with the item packaging. Everything was well packed and arrived undamaged. Everything seems well made and well thought out. Even the line set had perfect flares. The only thing I can say is a negative is the power/signal cable between the condenser and the air handler is about two feet shorter than the line set. The line set is easy to bend and is seamless, so if you had to re-flare it, it shouldn't split at the seam. I used a little Nylock on the flares and upon evacuation system held a vacuum with no measurable loss of vacuum in 24 hours. Once the system was pressurized, no leaks noted via leak tester or old fashioned soap bubbles. System passed all tests on startup. Even the amazon alexa setup was easy. Note that this is installed in an unconditioned space. I tested it the other morning, Outside temp was 33F. The indoor air handler was blowing 128F air!!!!! I am impressed!!! Once upon a time, you were lucky to get 90 degree air out of a heat pump. I am heating/cooling only 240 sq feet ( uninsulated) with 18000 BTU's and this thing brings the temp up quite rapidly. The fact that I can tell the system to switch on and set the temp via Alexa is awesome. Also note that there appears to be parts available as well if they are ever needed. I did have a minor issue with figuring where to plug the wifi dongle so I reached out to customer service. They were quick to respond and quite helpful, so A+ there as well. I could have spent a little less, but I felt this was all around a better product.

I think it works great no complaints here. Keeps the house cold, lots of different settings for how fast you want the fan to blow. Also, seems to be pretty quiet even if the fan speed is high. Would defiantly buy again!

I’m very pleased. Product is very well assembled and sealed. Pressurized great. Small details are evident and made for a smooth install. At max heat (86deg) it was putting out 115 deg 👍. Fan is super quiet, and features are great for this price. Paid about $1k to have professionally installed. Suggest doing that so testing and hose cleaning can be done for best performance.

This is a review of the Senville 18K BTU LETO heat pump. I installed this unit myself, so I have no warranty to fall back on. That was a risk I was willing to take to save the installation fee, which is often $400 or more. And some contractors will not install a unit they did not sell. But the installation went fine. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and bought a vacuum pump with gauges ($129) to make the job possible. I also bought a product that you smear on the connections to increase their reliability. The most time consuming part of installing the unit was mounting the indoor and outdoor units. As others have said, it would be very helpful if Senville supplied a template for mounting the indoor unit. Both the indoor and outdoor units are very quiet, attractively styled, and do the job they are made to do. I did have a couple of disappointments, however. First, the "swing" feature that spreads the air around works only up and down. I had thought the advertisement said the vent fins would swing side to side as well. They do not. There are fins that direct the airflow horizontally, and they can be manually moved to change the airflow direction, but they won't sweep side to side on their own. I read through the ads and the technical literature on Senville's website, and the operation of the sweep feature is not mentioned, as far as I can tell. Second, the remote controller does not support programming the unit for different times of day or days of the week. It's a fairly basic remote. The Alexa integration might enable one to program the unit, but I have found that you have to choose between controlling the unit with Alexa and controlling it with the remote. They don't play well together. The remote does not know what Alexa is doing to the unit and gets out of sync. Alexa seems to know what the remote has done, however. Anyway, it's confusing to use both. I need to use the remote because not everyone in the house is a fan of Alexa. So after playing with the Alexa integration for a while, I have decided to disable it. I am a sad nerd. Neither the lack of horizontal swing nor the Alexa integration problem are too big a deal to me, so I'm happy with my purchase, especially for the price. But I would be even happier if I had know about these two issues before I decided to buy the Senville unit. Update: The unit has been running for a couple of weeks now, flawlessly. The temperature in the room is very stable. I simply forget that it's there doing its job. I have discovered that the follow me feature has a serious limitation; the remote control must be within visual range of the wall unit. You cannot take the remote into another room and expect the heat pump to monitor the temperature in that room. If the wall unit does not get a message from the remote for 8 minutes or so, the follow me feature is effectively turned off and the wall unit temp. sensor takes over. I think the remote transmits the temperature it senses every 2 or 3 minutes. I still use the feature since my wall unit is mounted near the main entrance, which is slightly cooler than the middle of the room in the winter, but I cannot leave the remote in its wall holder since that kills the link between it and the wall unit because the IR beam is pointed at the ceiling.

I have put in maybe 6 or 7 senville mini splits now and no problem with any of them after several years. This one is pretty quiet and puts out a nice amount of heat. Only issue I had was the wifi adapter it comes with only works with alexa and not the net home plus phone app, so I had to buy that separately but now it works fine remotely.

I'm impressed by this units performance. Installed in a 24 x 30 well insulated garage in April. Cooling performance in summer was great. Was expecting this but looked forward to seeing how it performed in heating mode. I'm in Winnipeg, -25c this morning and it was still pushing heat. Crazy. My 8kw hydronic in-floor boiler has yet to fire and its December 7th. Our November power bill was 40% less this year than last.

This is the first mini-split system I have purchased. It was very easy to install and to set up. I did get a HVAC person to do the final refrigerant line hook up, electrical hook up and final inspection. I did mount the outside condenser on a Senville GS-380 ground stand, which I purchased also on Amazon, screwed to 16x32 concrete blocks which I got at Home Depot and a Powrocket Mini-split line set cover kit. I read too many reviews of people mounting it to the side of the house and getting bad vibration noises. It works great. So far. I did but it mainly for the AC and I don't know if we will ever use it for the heat but we'll see. I live in the Calgary area so we'll see how it performs during the cold winter. There are many installation videos online and I recommend watching these. They have some great tips. It is very quiet inside and out. It defiantly wont be bothering us or the neighbors. I would recommend Senville AC/heating mini-split systems.

We have propane heat which is getting quite expensive. We decided to try out a small heat pump for the house to supplement the propane. It works so good it is our primary heat source. It does cut out at -28 to -30c but the propane is backup. In weather colder than -18, we use both sources to heat. We used to use over 1000 gallons of propane every winter. We have had the heat pump for three winters now. Using around 300 gallons of propane. Heat pump paid for itself first winter. And it is very quiet.

Installation simple, efficace et silencieuse ! Durable le temps le dira ( le $ est très abordable) Super produit

My Senville heat pump works perfectly! Excellent cooling in A/C mode and we had a lot of heat waves this summer. The heat it produces in the winter time is great as well! Mine is set up in a fairly large room and it meets the demand! 5 stars for sure
