Senville LETO Series Mini Split Air Conditioner Heat Pump, 24000 BTU 208/230V, Inverter, Works with Alexa, 2 Ton, White

This mini split air conditioner heat pump works very well. It cools and heats my space efficiently, and the temperature control is accurate and easy to adjust. The unit runs quietly, uses energy efficiently, and the installation was straightforward with the included mounting hardware. The build quality feels solid and durable, and the remote control is convenient for daily use. Overall, a reliable and effective solution for year-round comfort.

Bought this for my 1350 Square Foot finished basement. This unit provides AC, Heat and dehumidifying which is exactly what I needed. After a month or more of use, it admirably provides all of that and does so efficiently and quietly! Installation. This is the only Mini-split I have ever installed so there is always a learning curve. I am very familiar with HVAC and I have many of the tools already since I worked on automotive HVAC from time to time and I consider myself to be a pretty knowledgeable on the subject. You will need a set of gauges, evacuation/vacuum pump, you may need a flaring tool, a hole saw 3.5"....and if you were like me, I was going through brick and concrete block so be ready to spend some money on that since masonry bits that size with a drill to go with it are not cheap! If you are going through siding and wood it is a much easier proposition. I would also recommend getting a cover kit for all the piping so you can make it look neat and protect all of that from elements. Power...you will need 220V at 25Amp, with a disconnect on the outside next to the unit and it will need to be accessible for future service and it is hardwired from your box to the outside AC unit. In my case, the air-handler that in on the inside of the home, is powered from a cable that comes from the outside unit so no additional receptacles were required. With this purchase it came with 16' of copper hose (two), a control power cable and drain hose. Depending on your application you may want to shorten the hoses or you may need to add to it. In either case this will require a flaring tool...fittings do come with the system if you need to this. If you need to extend the tubing to over 25' you will also need to add "Freon" so unless you are a licensed A/C contractor, well you may need one for that. 16' was actually perfect for my application. I have a family member who is an electrician, so I had that part installed and permitted to keep everything up and up especially when/if I sell the house. He also helped me install the Mini-Split. It took us about 4 hours to install and we had no issues with the installation and because he is an electrician he had the 3.5" masonry drill bit and 1/2 inch rotary drill that we needed. I can say it was pretty straight forward and there are plenty of YouTube videos where people do step by step installation. The instructions are helpful but confusing at times, so this is where experience is helpful to read in between the lines...since the instructions are for multiple units they sell and they are not all the same!!!! Now that I have done one I feel pretty confident to do another. I would also buy this product again with out hesitation. My only recommendation is if you have to buy the tools to be able to do the job, I would recommend just calling an AC professional and have them install. The cost of the necessary tools you may need may not be worth the investment unless you plan to do more of these in the future. If you do not even have a vacuum pump, gauges, flare tool etc, then you likely do not have experience either, and I would recommend you seek professional installation. Note: I saw on some videos people not vacuuming out the lines and just putting the systems together and releasing the preloaded Freon into the system (avoiding the need to purchase or rent a evacuation/vac pump). This is a bad idea since it introduces air and moisture into the system that will degrade its performance, shorten life span of the components and voids the warranty, plus you need that step to check for leaks. Freon is not cheap! Take a gut check on this. If you are handy and confident with your skills, go for it! If you are not sure, maybe seek someone out who has done it to help, or just call an competent HVAC tech to come out and do it for you.

I bought this Senville Leto 24K as the first mini-split for my 30x50 steel shop. Later on I purchased the more expensive Aura unit of the same size, which allowed me to draw some comparisons between the two. The inexpensive Leto is a fine unit. Easy to install, everything needed was there. You want heat, cooling, it does both and did a reasonably good job maintaining a set temperature in this large building by itself. I opted for a second unit (the Aura), only so I could bring building to desired temperature faster, as I don't typically leave them on all the time. The Leto is your typical Chevrolet-- nothing fancy but gets the job done. It is an inverter model, which I suspect simply means it has a DC fan / compressor. The best that I can tell, it does not have a variable speed compressor/fan which likely explains the efficiency difference between it and the more expensive Aura. The outside unit is either commanded on or off, there's no in between. One observation is that the physical size is noticeably smaller than the Aura for both the indoor and outdoor units. It also draws less power (requires a 20A circuit vs the Aura's 25A requirement) despite being less efficient. This leads me to believe the Aura has at the very least, greater heating capacity, possibly cooling capacity as well, despite both being listed as 2 ton / 24K BTU. I haven't tested heat out fully, but it puts out hot air. Haven't had anything other than high 40's, low 50's outside temps since I've owned it, but will update review when real cold hits. It cools nicely even on our 90+ degree humid days. All the other functions work fine-- dry/dehumidify is a nice feature, though it puts out colder air which might be undesirable if you don't want to cool your space. Only complaints I have are: For the longest time the remote operated very poorly. You'd have to press the same button several times for the unit to register the command. Strangely it seems to have improved over time (despite having same [good] batteries installed); now 80%+ of the time, it will register the command on first try, even from 10+ feet away. With two Senville units (Leto / Aura installed on same wall), one remote will sometimes command both units. They are two different remote models, and this is a completely random occurrence-- it doesn't do it all the time. Mildly frustrating, but not enough to knock a star because if you're careful with pointing the remote, it can be avoided. Some crude measurements using my utility company electronic service meter, suggests this unit draws around 1500W when in cooling mode. I did a very unscientific test by leaving it running set to 78 degrees 24/7 for the first month (in cooling mode) in this building and it added about $30 to my electric bill. High temps during this time were anywhere from high 70's to high 80's. In conclusion, if you need a solid heat/air unit at the lowest cost, this unit is near impossible to beat IMO. After installing the Aura, I believe the Aura wins hands down if you can stomach the extra cost. In the photos, the Leto is the smaller outdoor unit on the right. Indoor unit, Leto is on the left.

So far so good! I have had this unit in my two level 1600 sq.ft. home now for a month. It is installed in the living room and very surprisingly cools the whole house - far exceeding the manufacturer's recommended square footage. Sure the furthest rooms from the unit are less cool but it does the job well, is loaded with features and is super quiet. I got tired of replacing super expensive central heat pumps every 10 years and took a chance on this mini split. I don't regret it at all. For the cost, I am very satisfied with this product.

After the price of pellets went to $8 bag and my house insurance went up due to wood burning, I decided to finally try this 2400btu Leto unit. IT IS AMAZING. Although I am quite proficient in DIY, I was worried about the installation, however within 3 hours of installing this unit it was up and running and has been for over 6 months now. The cooling was excellent and now almost finished its first winter, it kept my home so comfortable I was ashamed how long I waited. I have the unit on its own electric meter, and so far the highest cost heating my 1700sf upper floor has been $2.36/ 24 hr day. I Plan to install a second unit on my lower level very soon!

This is the second Senville unit I have installed and came back for its easy install for a DIY'r like myself. I recently installed the Senville LETO 18000 BTU mini split in my home, and overall I’m really glad I made the switch from old heat pump unit that was about 20 years old. It’s been a game-changer for both hot summer days and chilly shoulder-season mornings. Cooling & Heating Performance: This thing really cools down a medium-to-large space (think living room or open-plan area) way faster and more evenly than the cheap window units I had before — no more hot/cold spots or noisy fans struggling to keep up. The new inverter tech modulates power nicely, so it doesn’t feel like it’s constantly blasting or throttling on/off. AC and Fans. Heating also works well for everyday cold weather (not extreme Arctic stuff), so it’s great for spring/fall and mild winter days too. One of the first things I noticed was how quiet the indoor and outdoor units are — you literally have to listen for it if you’re in the same area. Even max cooling or heating isn’t much louder than a quiet conversation, which makes it easy to run overnight or while watching a movie. I like that it connects to Wi-Fi and works with Alexa and the Senville app, so I can adjust the temperature from my phone before I walk in the door or even with voice commands. Initial setup took a few tries to get the app talking to it, but once it was connected it’s been smooth. Heads up: this is not exactly a plug-and-play unit like a window AC. It needs proper installation with vacuuming the lines, mounting the outdoor unit securely, and making sure electrical specs are right — so unless you’re experienced, it’s worth hiring a pro so you don’t void the warranty or have performance issues. Also, while this model handles cooler weather, it’s not designed for extreme sub-zero Arctic cold — we live somewhere really cold, and use this for 3 of the 4 seasons. If you’re upgrading from old ACs or looking to heat + cool without ductwork, the Senville LETO 18000 BTU is a great value for the performance and quiet operation you get. It’s solid for year-round comfort in a big room or open plan, just plan ahead for professional install and enjoy the better airflow and energy savings once it’s running.

Excellent purchase and saved hundreds of dollars each month on my electricity bill since I only had electric heat and no other option was available in my area. I especially like that it is heat in winter and air conditioning in summer. Solid purchase and no issues for the past five years.

I bought this unit to cool 1000 sq/f in a mild climate. It took 2 days to install as i did not have easy access to power. This unit requires a 2 pole 1 phase 240V circuit. basically what that means is you need 3 wires connecting to your breaker panel. 2 positives and a ground (neutral is not used). Anyways the unit was missing some much needed metal clamping grommets for the inside unit and outside unit. These are not included and they expect that your experienced electrician will provide them. If you are doing this yourself you can get them from the hardware store. Installation was very easy, use a stud finder and RTFM. For the copper hookups I had a professional AC installer come in and do the work as the equipment to vacuum the lines cost the same amount as their service and since i will only do this once i do not need to have the equipment hanging around the house. The unit vacuumed nicely and the techs were impressed on how low they could get the vacuum. Once all hooked up i powered the unit on and cold air came flying out. The unit is super quiet and you can only hear it on turbo mode (Full speed). the outdoor unit is also ultra quiet and your neighbours will not even notice it running. This unit is fantastic, don't let the unknown name throw you off from buying this, it is high quality and the radiators have tons of surface area to allow the heat transfer to happen. they are anodized blue in color and look awesome. i would love it it they made a clear cover as i think the inside looks amazing.
