The MrCool DIY Easy Pro 24,000 BTU 230V is the better DIY mini-split overall, rated 3.3 to 3.1. The MrCool DIY Easy Pro 24,000 BTU 230V leads on warranty. The MrCool DIY Select 24,000 BTU 230V costs $210 less ($1,899 vs $2,109).
A middle step between MrCool’s Select and DIY 5th Gen: quick-connect and a fair warranty, but it loses much of its heat in a cold snap. Best for mild winters.
MRCOOL DIY Direct $2,109For mild climates and occasional use, where a low price for a quick-connect unit matters most. The short warranty and weak cold-weather output make it a poor main heat source.
