Under-Bench Mounted Heatpump for Running of Solar and clearing roof

Hello,

I found this under bench mounted heatpump - it was released only in February 22.

Pioneer® 9,000 BTU 115V Under-Bench RV Heat Pump Air Conditioner $1200​

Summary-​

• Cooling capacity: 9,000 BTU/H with 8.5 EER efficiency 8.8amp - 995 Watt
• Heating capacity: 9,000 BTU/H with 2.6 C.O.P. 7.2 - 810 Watt
• Voltage: 110~120V, 60Hz, 1Ph
• Operational Temperature Range: 19 - 104°F
• Pre-charged with R410a refrigerant and ready to install
• UL Listed
• Perfect for RVs, Skoolies, Tiny Homes, Camper Vans, or any home on wheels

When I would be able to remove my ceiling mounted A/C unit - I could add about 900w more of solar. Further lowering the center of gravity.

Thoughts? Opinions? Ducting that thing will be a bit of a challenge also cutting holes in the floor.

I plan to buy one ... they have a big caveat on the "dehumidification" mode, saying not to use it all the time.... and that is bugging me as it should bug anybody who lives in a humid place. Thoughts on this? It is also NOT an inverter unit... it is either all on or all off.

where did you read that?

Some A/C units have a separate extra dehumidification mode. Where they dump a lot more water while only regular dehumidification during normal operations.

yeah, that bugs me to,
I've wrote the manufacture and suggested: inverter and DC direct drive. They got back to me and said the value customer feedback and gave me a $150 discount code

How do you like Pioneer 9,000 BTU 115v Under-Bench RV Heat Pump Air Conditioner. It looks like it would fit inside my Ford van with little or no effort; I don't even think I would need to run ducts. How does it work in the Summer in very hot conditions?
