I recently had a Mr Cool minisplit installed last October and in January it got a leak in the coil. I got the replaced but now I am looking to buy a new 4 zone minisplit for the rest of my house and I was considering a Senville minisplit but someone else suggested a Daikin. I figured I would ask you guys which unit is most reliable or if you think a different brand would make more sense. Price is a small factor since I think it costs less in the long run if you buy something that has better quality.
Any advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you. :grin2:

Senville is made by the same people that make mr cool.
So if you want another mr cool, with a different label, go for it.

If you want their chinese competitor, go daikin.

Or just go mitsubishi.

Senville doesnt make anything either.

Midea, in china, makes for both.

Most brands you will find come from china.
Mitsubishi and lg are pretty much the only 2 i know of that arent made in china.

You wont find a multi head in high seer rating.

Plus, some older models still hold the old seer rating system, while the new ones have a lower seer2.

In 33 years, I’ve never had to work on a Mitsubishi that I’ve installed. Maybe that’s one reason they give a 12 year warranty. I’ve got one still running in a marina showroom that’s 33 years old!

It is the best unit money can buy in the Mini Split world.

Aside from the 3 ton Mitsubishi Hyperheat. Which is just slightly better.

At least in the US market there are only 4 manufactures who make mini-splits and everyone Just puts their stickers on it. Not talking VRF just mini-splits. Manufactures are not going to go off on their own R&D path in such a low margin market. Putting their sticker on something is the better solution. If you are talking large VRF systems this is a whole other matter. I just installed a Senville unit on my shop and it may as well say Mitsubishi, LG, Samsung, etc, etc. IMO, the durability of the inverter and circuit boards used makes or breaks a mini-split. In a few years they are obsolete and there is no replacement so the unit may as well go to the junk yard and be replaced with the latest and greatest. I have no idea what Senville or others are using, just cross fingers they hold up when it’s 110 degrees.
