I'll throw my udate in as well. Mine is going on 6 troubnle free years now....Still running strong. Still getting the yearly checkup/cleaning. well worth it to keep the unit running efficiently. Matter of fact I think my split has been running non-stop for about 2-3 weeks now. A nice cool 69 degrees in my house right now. My wife actually put a blanket on the bed last night....LOL. I don't like it too cold but the key is keeping the humidity down which also keeps any mold from all this humid weather and rain from rearing it's ugly head. Gotta love my 29,000btu Mitsubishi. Especially this week....
