Senville LETO Series Mini Split Air Conditioner Heat Pump, 24000 BTU 208/230V, Inverter, Works with Alexa, SEER2 18, 2 Ton, White

This mini split air conditioner heat pump works very well. It cools and heats my space efficiently, and the temperature control is accurate and easy to adjust. The unit runs quietly, uses energy efficiently, and the installation was straightforward with the included mounting hardware. The build quality feels solid and durable, and the remote control is convenient for daily use. Overall, a reliable and effective solution for year-round comfort.

Bought this for my 1350 Square Foot finished basement. This unit provides AC, Heat and dehumidifying which is exactly what I needed. After a month or more of use, it admirably provides all of that and does so efficiently and quietly! Installation. This is the only Mini-split I have ever installed so there is always a learning curve. I am very familiar with HVAC and I have many of the tools already since I worked on automotive HVAC from time to time and I consider myself to be a pretty knowledgeable on the subject. You will need a set of gauges, evacuation/vacuum pump, you may need a flaring tool, a hole saw 3.5"....and if you were like me, I was going through brick and concrete block so be ready to spend some money on that since masonry bits that size with a drill to go with it are not cheap! If you are going through siding and wood it is a much easier proposition. I would also recommend getting a cover kit for all the piping so you can make it look neat and protect all of that from elements. Power...you will need 220V at 25Amp, with a disconnect on the outside next to the unit and it will need to be accessible for future service and it is hardwired from your box to the outside AC unit. In my case, the air-handler that in on the inside of the home, is powered from a cable that comes from the outside unit so no additional receptacles were required. With this purchase it came with 16' of copper hose (two), a control power cable and drain hose. Depending on your application you may want to shorten the hoses or you may need to add to it. In either case this will require a flaring tool...fittings do come with the system if you need to this. If you need to extend the tubing to over 25' you will also need to add "Freon" so unless you are a licensed A/C contractor, well you may need one for that. 16' was actually perfect for my application. I have a family member who is an electrician, so I had that part installed and permitted to keep everything up and up especially when/if I sell the house. He also helped me install the Mini-Split. It took us about 4 hours to install and we had no issues with the installation and because he is an electrician he had the 3.5" masonry drill bit and 1/2 inch rotary drill that we needed. I can say it was pretty straight forward and there are plenty of YouTube videos where people do step by step installation. The instructions are helpful but confusing at times, so this is where experience is helpful to read in between the lines...since the instructions are for multiple units they sell and they are not all the same!!!! Now that I have done one I feel pretty confident to do another. I would also buy this product again with out hesitation. My only recommendation is if you have to buy the tools to be able to do the job, I would recommend just calling an AC professional and have them install. The cost of the necessary tools you may need may not be worth the investment unless you plan to do more of these in the future. If you do not even have a vacuum pump, gauges, flare tool etc, then you likely do not have experience either, and I would recommend you seek professional installation. Note: I saw on some videos people not vacuuming out the lines and just putting the systems together and releasing the preloaded Freon into the system (avoiding the need to purchase or rent a evacuation/vac pump). This is a bad idea since it introduces air and moisture into the system that will degrade its performance, shorten life span of the components and voids the warranty, plus you need that step to check for leaks. Freon is not cheap! Take a gut check on this. If you are handy and confident with your skills, go for it! If you are not sure, maybe seek someone out who has done it to help, or just call an competent HVAC tech to come out and do it for you.

6/20/24 Unit is still performing GREAT! It's been near 100 degrees for days and the unit is keeping up without effort. I have left it running for a couple weeks now, it actually throttles back during the hottest part of the day. Seems to be a very good unit! Installed over a couple days. Instructions are lacking but if you're mechanical you can figure it out. Youtube is your friend! Mounting the inside unit was pretty straight forward. I used the Senville mounting kit outside. I opted to provide my own 6" mounting bolts, going all the way through the studs from the inside to outside. Make sure you put at least four bolts in the top mounting rail. I was concerned about bending the copper lines without damage. Turns out Senville has permanent springs (like the ones you'd use for bending pipes) wrapped around the copper lines where the tight bends will occur. The bends went easy, just take your time. The install time will very much depend on your application. Things like, how far will you have to pull electricity, the path of the electricity, will you have to cut open a wall to pull the wiring? Will your outside unit be elevated, do you have a platform to work on or will it all be ladder work? Something I didn't consider was the drain line. I ended up having to install a drain under a gravel parking area. Not a big deal but you should consider where the water will go. Oh, and this thing puts out water like a garden hose! Literally a steady stream, not dripping, but a steady stream! Quality: It appears, thus far, to be really well made! I bought the 220volt 24K unit. The thing is super quite inside and outside. My Goodman units are much louder! Performance: I installed the unit in a 30X40 garage with a 13' ceiling. The garage is very well insulated with no windows. So far, the unit has cooled it well and it has been hot and very humid. I would but again and likely will buy again.

So far so good! I have had this unit in my two level 1600 sq.ft. home now for a month. It is installed in the living room and very surprisingly cools the whole house - far exceeding the manufacturer's recommended square footage. Sure the furthest rooms from the unit are less cool but it does the job well, is loaded with features and is super quiet. I got tired of replacing super expensive central heat pumps every 10 years and took a chance on this mini split. I don't regret it at all. For the cost, I am very satisfied with this product.

After the price of pellets went to $8 bag and my house insurance went up due to wood burning, I decided to finally try this 2400btu Leto unit. IT IS AMAZING. Although I am quite proficient in DIY, I was worried about the installation, however within 3 hours of installing this unit it was up and running and has been for over 6 months now. The cooling was excellent and now almost finished its first winter, it kept my home so comfortable I was ashamed how long I waited. I have the unit on its own electric meter, and so far the highest cost heating my 1700sf upper floor has been $2.36/ 24 hr day. I Plan to install a second unit on my lower level very soon!

Excellent purchase and saved hundreds of dollars each month on my electricity bill since I only had electric heat and no other option was available in my area. I especially like that it is heat in winter and air conditioning in summer. Solid purchase and no issues for the past five years.

Don't want to be negative about the product because overall we are very happy with it, it's quiet and effective. But I think there is some room for improvement so I'll make a few points. I hate the Alexa option and turned it off as soon as I tried it. I don't like Alexa and would much rather have an app. The instructions left a lot to be desired. Senville makes several models and there are regular statements in the manual that say "for some units..." this or that may apply. Why can't they just publish a unit specific manual? It's not a cheap product and this would increase the comprehension of the manual. There should have been some large clear photos or even an online video. I found several of the instructions accompanied by small drawings that just didn't illustrate things well and I spent a lot of time trying to figure out. There was something called a "functional filter" that installed on top of the air filter and made no sense, as opposed to what? A non functional filter? There was just one functional filter supplied but there were two slots and it is very small so what can it do? There was no explanation. Also, for DIY installations I think it should be made clear when ordering that a vacuum pump is essential to complete the install. They are available reasonably priced on Amazon but I didn't realize how important it was initially so did not buy it and it really slowed down the completion of the install. All in all, happy with the unit, it seems well made and works as described!

This is the second Senville unit I have installed and came back for its easy install for a DIY'r like myself. I recently installed the Senville LETO 18000 BTU mini split in my home, and overall I’m really glad I made the switch from old heat pump unit that was about 20 years old. It’s been a game-changer for both hot summer days and chilly shoulder-season mornings. Cooling & Heating Performance: This thing really cools down a medium-to-large space (think living room or open-plan area) way faster and more evenly than the cheap window units I had before — no more hot/cold spots or noisy fans struggling to keep up. The new inverter tech modulates power nicely, so it doesn’t feel like it’s constantly blasting or throttling on/off. AC and Fans. Heating also works well for everyday cold weather (not extreme Arctic stuff), so it’s great for spring/fall and mild winter days too. One of the first things I noticed was how quiet the indoor and outdoor units are — you literally have to listen for it if you’re in the same area. Even max cooling or heating isn’t much louder than a quiet conversation, which makes it easy to run overnight or while watching a movie. I like that it connects to Wi-Fi and works with Alexa and the Senville app, so I can adjust the temperature from my phone before I walk in the door or even with voice commands. Initial setup took a few tries to get the app talking to it, but once it was connected it’s been smooth. Heads up: this is not exactly a plug-and-play unit like a window AC. It needs proper installation with vacuuming the lines, mounting the outdoor unit securely, and making sure electrical specs are right — so unless you’re experienced, it’s worth hiring a pro so you don’t void the warranty or have performance issues. Also, while this model handles cooler weather, it’s not designed for extreme sub-zero Arctic cold — we live somewhere really cold, and use this for 3 of the 4 seasons. If you’re upgrading from old ACs or looking to heat + cool without ductwork, the Senville LETO 18000 BTU is a great value for the performance and quiet operation you get. It’s solid for year-round comfort in a big room or open plan, just plan ahead for professional install and enjoy the better airflow and energy savings once it’s running.
