Before you buy
- MRCOOL's naming is inconsistent: its product data says "DIY Select 1st Gen" while the warranty is titled "5th Generation DIY Select Series". A "5th Gen" listing that says "Select" is this cheaper line.
- Model numbers start DIYS- (outdoor ends A11-O, wall unit A13-O); DIY- ...D25-O is the DIY 5th Gen.
- ENERGY STAR status conflicts: MRCOOL's catalog says certified, MRCOOL's product data and NEEP say no.
