ROVSUN 24000 BTU Wifi Enabled Mini Split Air Conditioner & Heater with Inverter, 20 SEER2 Energy Saving 230V Ductless Split AC Unit with Pre-Charged Condenser, Heat Pump & Installation Kit

Super easy to install and get running right away. The price cannot be beat and the system works great! I installed it in my outdoor office that is 120 sqft and it keeps it perfectly cool and is super quiet. The remote control and app make it very easy to adjust settings. If you are looking for a budget priced minisplit with great features, this is the one to get.

The Company and Customer Support: Rovsun's 12K BTU (1 ton) mini-split has been working phenomenally. I'd like to start by speaking about the 5-star customer service they provide with product support. For anyone hesitant about company support after the fact, they should not be worried here. When I needed support on one of my Rovsun units (I have installed several of their mini-splits), I simply emailed them using their form on the website, and they got back to me the next business day with an immediate solution to my issue. I have to explain that no matter what brand you go with, the potential for a mechanical defect is a possibility, so it really comes down to the company to be helpful in those situations, and Rovsun was not a letdown. This reason alone is enough to highly recommend this brand. However, there are pros to their mini-splits, too. The Mini-Split: I have worked professionally in the HVAC business since 2018, both as an installer and service technician, so I'd like to say I know a lot about HVAC equipment very well. This particular system is built just as well or better than many of the other units on the market today. There are no surprises when it comes to the installation, it puts together very well. The remote is very easy to use, and the buttons are large. The LCD light-up screen is intuitive to understand and is big enough to see all the numbers without struggling. It comes with a wall mount if you wish to hang it. The operation is very quiet, and the high fan speed blows plenty of air. If needed, there is a "super" mode on the remote that provides extra power. It is wifi compatible and can be used with their app, which works well. My Application: I have this system set up in a 2 car garage that is converted into a home gym. This 12k system is perfect for keeping the garage set to 77 F, even during the hot Arizona summers. The system runs nearly 24/7, and has been since Feb 2024. No diminish in efficiency, or increase in noise. 19 SEER is very efficient and isn't hard on the electricity bill. Conclusion: Do not snooze on this brand. The install is not bad, the equipment works great, and the customer support shines bright. And on top of that, their systems are very affordable and priced right! I totally recommend going with this option over others.

Easy install and works great. Read some reviews where people were upset they had to get a vacuum pump and use it. People need to research what they are buying. And 120 bucks for a pump vs what an ac tech would charge for the install. Just get the pump. It’s an easy process to use it. Instructions are clear or there are several YouTube vids out there. Easy power requirements as well. Only need 120v 20a. Once installed start up was simply turning it on. And cold air come out!! And quiet. Barely hear the inside air handler. Cannot hear the outside condenser. Way way quieter then a normal ac condenser Couldn’t be happier. Especially for the price point. Just need to see how reliable it is over time. Will review again after one summer in south Florida. One thing I didn’t like was the tape it came with. So just bought some better tape with adhesive to wrap the line set. Other than that saved hundreds on what an ac company quoted. They quoted a durastar for 2800 installed. I have less than 600 in this one. A friend has the durastar and so far don’t see a difference. Live in a manufactured home in Florida. Last three years hurricane flooding destroyed the under house ducting.have Replaced that twice at 2000 a pop. The duct pretty much sits on the ground under the home. No room to raise it. Last time just ripped it out and put window units in. Obviously loud units. Replaced a bedroom window with this. If this lasts like I am hoping will buy more next spring and replace all window units. And already have a pump lol. And mounted these high up on the outside so any flooding is not a concern. At least for the ac.

The unit works ok when it runs properly and it was easy enough to get installed. Their are some issues I have run into. The most frustrating is that according to the seller, this unit will not cool if the indoor temp is below 32 or above 90. So if you plan to put this in a garage or something and only turn it on when its really hot or cold and want to use the space this will not work. I purchased this unit because it said its exterior working range was -4 to 122, but the indoor range changes that drastically. Had I known I would not have purchased this unit. There are times the outdoor fan does not come on and the indoor unit just circulates air. This has happened on both heat and cool. I am not at this location often so I have not had a chance to fully test why. its possible its due to the indoor limitation that is not disclosed in the listing. Will need to do more testing. The app is cool but clunky and cumbersome. And doesn't keep in line with the remote. not the end of the world but it could be better. In the end not a bad unit when it works, but its only viable in a space that you will constantly condition and keep within those ranges. And if you ever get outside of them there is nothing you can do, at least according to the seller.

update: i put 3 of these in my old 1874 victorian with single pane windows. One is heating/cooling my bedroom and kitchen about 700sf. last night it got down to about 15f and this morning my room is 55f. sooo. i'm going to put another unit in my living room (seperated with french doors) to help heat/cool the kitchen... remember to set temp at 88f so the warm air at the ceiling does not turn the unit off when it is up to 15f cooler at floor level.... ps somewhat easy to cut line set to exact size needed but you'll need to reflare one connection... get a flare tool and good copper pipe cutter and watch a youtube on how to... can also splice two pipes together this way with a flare coupling if needed. no need to braze... i was hvac and refrigeration tech since i was 14, 1974. got my BSEE Umich. so. this is an awesome system. i just bought 3 to heat/cool my entire 2500sf victorian mansion in carson city nv. 115vac don't have to run new power lines just drill a 3/4" hole in wall and route power line into house and put a 115vac plug on the wire and plug in . put some tape on exposed wire outside to protect from sun damage, or i think i'll just use a piece of flexible conduit to get in inside. get a wall mount frame from amazon to keep condensor unit 3 ft off ground.... i live in area subject to occassional 3ft snow storms. so, this r454b refrigerant... reefer gauges for this should not be contaminated with other refrigerants such as 410a but i read the connections are the same. so you can get a gauge set (not electronic) on amazon for 410a. just use it only for this system (or get extra hose sets to change out if you use for 410a). buy a vevor vacuum pump, $80 on amazon i think, to get air out of the line set before you release refrigerant gas. make sure you understand what should be on and off on the gauge set before you release gas. vacuum out and watch for an hour to make sure vacuum is holding before you release gas. from what i read this $500 system will heat/cool about 1000sf in real world, and down to -5F outside temp. it's incredible. i will install my first of 3 next week. but based on the many many other reviews. i think this is perfect system for me. if scared of the gas, install the whole system then call a reefer guy to vacuum and release the gas from the condensor unit. i am soooo stoked to get these going. saves money over natural gas which is amazing. update. worked perfect all summer. now late november and nighttime temperatures going down. last night i get no heat . nothing. on my nightstand is temperature monitor. it got down to 57F. well i had rovsun set at 68F . guess what... at ceiling level where rovsun is it is indeed 68F. but at my bed two feet off the floor it is 57F. so easy fix ... set system at 88F and it will be about 78F on my bed... problem solved. i thought system was broken. it is not... love this thing. also. you can easily shorten the lineset provided using a flare coupler. just have to buy a flare tool and watch some youtubes. no need to braze or solder.

Here's the latest update in this never ending review posted 12/11/2025. NOTE: There are 4 separate parts to this review. Initial installation tips and 1 week after install. 4 months later. 1 year later. Now 2 1/2 years later. To read from the start go to the bottom and find the 1 week review and move up. Amazon deleted the breaks I placed between updates so look for this divider *****************. There was a bit of a problem that was discovered on November 1st, 2024. A significant amount of mold had built up inside the unit. I didn't have time to do anything at that point, so the unit was sealed in plastic and I went back to the window unit and resistance heat used before. You can see from the image that the mold was pretty bad and the two people who sat under this unit had developed some respiratory problems and that's the reason it was examined in the first place. I hardly ever go into that space, as it's a third floor room that used to be an attic that was turned into a storage area and a little office space. In any case, a year later I completely disassembled the unit and thoroughly cleaned every bit of the plastic housing, blasted the coil squeaky clean, and reassembled it. I installed three tiny cameras inside in different positions because of what I had found when I first did the tear down. There was a crack inside in the drip tray which as you can see in the pictures is just a tiny trough under the coil that drains the condensation away but ironically within just a few days of setting the unit back up, there was no more condensation in the tray because we experienced much drier cooler fall/winter weather, so I can't really say if that is a problem. The internal cameras I installed showed that the drip tray did not overflow but there was a small pool of water on the left side of the tray that did not drain, even when I tilted the unit down a few mm left to right. There is another drain port on the left side so I could attach another drain tube over there to ensure no standing water if that is a problem next year. The only question is whether this unit's design or assembly error or damage had led to or exacerbated the mold. First of all, mini splits are much more likely to mold than a central unit or even a window unit and I am in an area of South Central Texas where mold spores are everywhere in the air. I did take 8 different swabs of the mold itself before cleaning and two of those were analyzed and found to be common mold in the area. Seller stated they had never seen mold in one of their units, but as I stated mold develops much more easily in a mini so I take this with a grain of salt. The great thing about a variable speed inverter unit is that it allows the fans and compressor to run at the speed needed to balance the load and no more. This is why they are more efficient, but it also means that at times you get very low cfm on the inside unit. Very slow air movement across the coil extracts more moisture and also increases the odds spores stay inside. This is true of ALL minis. You can run them at high speed all the time but then you spend more on utilities and you have a noisier system that blows strong air on you. I am leaving my rating the same, as I will not know if the unit is at fault more than any other unit until next spring. For those who don't know how Chinese manufacturing often works, let me explain. Any given factory may make units for a dozen or more different brands and the same workers may actually assemble the cheapest no name units and also very expensive name brands. This is why when you look at numerous brands you will often see identical specs and design with just a different nameplate. Middlemen customize the unit as the seller desires putting their name and logo on those units. With many goods you never know how many entities have contributed to the delivered product. I can tell you most minis are made by only a handful of companies, so condemning one over the other is often meaningless. I will say this about the specific unit I have other than the mold. It is still operating correctly and I already surpassed the ROI. Except for the mold I think the unit was a good deal and I do not have ANY proof that a $2k Mitsubishi would have been any better. I will update as soon as I have evidence either way. ***************** AFTER 1 FULL YEAR OF USE: Here is a breakdown on ROI. For 12 months prior to installation there was a total usage of 13,229 KWH and 10,142 KWH for the 12 months after install. It was a slightly warmer summer (+2.2° F) and slightly colder winter (-2.5° F) in the year before install on avg. so that can account for a small amount of the difference but still ≈3000 KWH less usage for a total savings of almost $400 at the avg. rate of 13¢/KWH. I spent a total of $680 counting extra installation supplies, so that yields a true ROI of just under 21 months! Obviously that calculation projects no additional costs for repair or maintenance over the next 9 months, but since there were none over the first 12 months and most failures over the first 5 years occur in the first few months of use, this ROI figure is probably accurate. The use of a window unit and electric resistance heat previously were clearly a worst case scenario, so your results may not yield quite this good a result. This does give a great analysis of how quickly a change like this of one piece of equipment can make. The entire unit is still working properly. I was afraid I might lose an inverter PCB as this was an inexpensive unit & cheap Chinese boards are not that reliable. Other than my notes about needing better installation supplies, my previous commentary still applies & considering the price, an extra $100 for the best installation is still a good deal. For DIYs who don't want to spend money on tools, the manifold & vacuum pump are available as free loaners from most auto parts stores. As for the connectivity problems on the phone app, I think if people ensure they have locked in 2.4 ghz for their wireless connection they should be OK. If you don't have dedicated 2.4 or 2.4/5 configurability it will NOT work. If any part of this system ever gives out I will update. As for the paradise plans, I am still stuck in the madness unfortunately as things get even crazier 😔. ***************** UPDATE AFTER 4 MONTHS: Posted complete usage graph of summer for entire facility. No problems with unit so far. ENERGY USE UPDATE: (See attached usage bar chart) After several days of use with identical outdoor temps and heat load on the conditioned space, an avg. 12 KWH per day reduction of electrical usage was achieved. This was maintaining 75° in the space with the mini where the 1/2 ton window unit could only achieve a range through the day of 78° through 92° with constant 24/7 compressor operation, never making it down to 75° and using twice the KWH with half the btus. Even though the window unit only had half the SEER rating, this is pretty impressive for the mini. Obviously the savings would be less in spring and fall, with winter savings totally unknown. That will be updated when the data is in. My estimate is an ROI of less than 24 months. If this mini just has longevity, it will be worth it for sure. Original review below. ***************** Opinions after 1 week. First this was a test unit for me. I have installed only Mitsubishi units in the past and look upon them favorably, but they are quite a bit more expensive, especially the 30+ seer models, as you might expect. The test setup was a good one for determining how well the unit would perform in a challenging cooling environment. The indoor unit was hung in an uninsulated upstairs room (18x15) in S. TX this summer (2023) where the outside high temps have been hitting 105°+ regularly and hit 116° to 118° on several days with crippling humidity and extreme drought conditions. When I first started the unit the indoor space ambient was 108° and it was brought down to a 72° set point in 51 minutes, even with a very large amount of furniture and porous materials with a high latent heat load. While the space is considerably smaller than a 1 ton unit could normally cool, the heat load is massive for its size, so I still consider this impressive as the 1/2 ton window unit in use before could not keep the late afternoon temps below 90°. I will list the initial pros and cons below with the caveat that this is after only 1 week and for cooling (no heat test yet obviously) only. Pros: -Came quickly, well packed, no damage, both boxes delivered at the same time. -Units could be easily lifted by your average weak male and probably any average female as well. -Units were VERY quiet inside and out. I didn't think the outdoor unit was even running until I felt the very warm air gently blowing. -My Android app (Smartlife) installed and worked perfectly, though others have a much different experience, as you can see from all the 1 star reviews. I did setup a dedicated strong signal Wi-Fi router 6 feet from the unit locked on 2.4 ghz, which you MUST use as it will NOT support 5, so that may explain my success.. -The ability to configure the unit is about as good as you will find on most higher priced minis. You have exact control of directional air flow and strength. Even on turbo the fan was so quiet it could not possibly disturb anyone. You also have the usual options such as eco, dehumidify, timer, sleep, and a few other probably less functional options such as anti mildew and auto clean. -If you don't have the Wi-Fi option (really recommend this for anyone with net access) then the remote will do the job. It has a nice LCD backlit display. -I got decent support by message with a 24 to 48 hr. response time. The support phone number for the company on their website is not even for this company which is usually the sign of a scam, but I knew this before ordering and figured Amazon would at least guarantee performance. I think they just don't want to be called but make it look like they do 🥺. Cons: -The installation supplies included are a far cry from what you get with a Mitsubishi. The lineset insulation is a bit of a joke IMHO, but I spent $70 extra to enclose everything in 5/8" wall K-flex tubing and Armaflex tape. The drainage hose is what you get on all cheap minis (though this one was strangely several feet short of the lineset length) so I substituted my own insulated hose ($18) and ran it separately from the K-flexed lineset and wiring bundle. No concrete or other type anchors are included for the outside unit ($4) and DON'T use the little plastic anchored screws for the indoor. I used 3" Senco screws directly into 2x4s screwed into the wall studs. You don't want one of these coming down on you, so don't trust the wallboard to hold it, even with metal mollys or toggles. -The liquid line coming from the indoor unit is 6" longer than the suction line. While the liquid line service valve on the outdoor unit is a couple of inches lower than the suction, you will still have extra and have to cut and re-flare the liquid line unless you have some extra room to add a curve. See my install tips below on this. -Although they swore the refrigerant was clearly listed on the outside unit plate (410a in this case) mine only listed it on the inside, which is unusual. Install tips: Obviously you will need a good vacuum pump, 5/16" to 1/4" adapter, and a manifold set. Sometimes newbies (and even pros) will incorrectly torque a flare connection. If you need to cut your lineset to exact length (highly recommended) then you will also need a good tubing cutter and high quality flare tool. Most people have some of these already so get a firm cost for a pro install versus new tool cost. I recommend you get 2 (or 4) pro-fit connectors for at least the 1/4" connections if you cut lines since they are foolproof and 1/4" flares are the most problematic for newbies. For $20 more get 2 for the suction line as well and forget flaring altogether, although if your needed lineset length is right at 16' forget that and carefully torque them down and make sure your vacuum holds before opening the valves. Do NOT coil up excess lineset to avoid cutting as you can create an oil sink/trap that could ruin your compressor. You need a dedicated 15 amp circuit for the 9k & 12k units, and I recommend you also add a cheap weatherproof non-fused disconnect ($10-$15) at the outdoor unit. If you stick to just what came with the unit for supplies, I think you are being penny wise and pound foolish. For an extra ≈ $100 you can have a first class install. Obviously the most important thing to consider is how long the unit will perform and the total cost over time, considering electrical use and maintenance plus the initial cost for actual ROI. Only time will tell, but I will add a detailed update after 1 year. I hope no updates beyond that are possible since I plan to be relaxing at my own remote paradise that needs no heating or cooling and does not suffer from the current madness infecting the country 😊.

This is the third one we have purchased. Had 2 at our previous residence. We had 1 in a shop and another in an added on sunroom. We moved and bought one to go in a shop. They do a great job on air conditioning and heating. Use less electricity than wall units. Runs very quiet. Planning on buying another to replace a wall unit in a sunroom. I highly recommend these units!

Install was straight forward if you are handy with tools. This was my first attempt at installing a mini split. Probably took me a little longer than most due to removing drywall to hide all the lines. I borrowed all the tools to install. You can order a kit here on amazon for a decent price. Considering how much HVAC companies want for a simple install like this. I installed the 18k btu in a 960 sq ft garage that is fully insulated and has finished drywall. Wanted to wait until after the full summer to review. Impressed!! Beyond impressed actually. No notice of increased power bill, the garage stayed a perfect temp all summer. I was finally able to use my garage/shop during the summer. It inspired me to finish a bunch of projects that I was putting off. I don't use any of the phone applications so I can't comment on that. The remote works great. I had the temp set at 79 degrees and never turned it off until October. I haven't and won't use the heat part of the unit. It's Arizona. Quality product for a great price. Side note. I researched for months before buying. From York to Rovsun. The debate is over.
