Still need to finish wrapping the lines and tidy up the cables a bit, though.

    I’ve thought about getting one, but I hear they have major mold and mildew issues.

      How would they be any different than a standard AC coil in that regard?

      Regular use of Coil cleaner is the key here.

      This unit supposedly has a ‘sanitize’ setting that will use cycles of extreme hot and cold to automatically kill anything growing in the inside unit. Haven’t tried that out yet, but it sounds promising.

      And if that doesn’t work, I guess I’ll just manually clean it and maybe spray some bleach inside if it starts getting bad.

      There is a dehumidify setting, and we mainly use that because it uses less energy than the AC setting, plus we live in an area of high humidity so it cools down our place amazingly.

      The only time I’ve seen mold issues is in flats that were converted from big old houses (big!) With zero ventilation (plenty of examples where our kid lives)
