Who's installed a Mr. Cool DIY?

Just curious how it went and how well it works.

Electrical looks like the biggest pain. Seems odd to not have to vacuum out the lines -- are the lines pre-vacuumed and "pierced" during installation?
Having a big wound up pile of left-over copper coolant lines seems unsightly, but as it's the hot-side probably not inefficient.

A regular pre-charged minisplit doesn't seem like it would be much more difficult, just need a vacuum pump for the lines.

David Poz did a video on a MrCool install too:

I have to say my Neighbor just installed one for his garage and he didn't have any issues. I think the electrical was mostly the time consuming hardest for him. I will be installing a different system a Bosch mini split for my garage and bonus room but plan to also contract some of the work.
