****E!
not even daikin - rebadged- daikin were knockin em out to compete with b&q (air force)
it was buy 10 splits on a pallet for 3 grand- 2.5 or 3.5kw-equating to 300 quid a split
basic remote control,flimsy casing on indoor so when u try to click it into the back plate u break the tabs.
if u want cheap go for toshiba

Re: daikin siesta units Any Good ???
daikin siesta used to be 25,35 inverters- no issues
then they went cheaper,non inverter and instead of 3c+e interconnect it went to power to indoor and 5 core interconnect and a 2 core sensor cable for defrosting the outdoor
the latest version didnt change much-
fitted about 50 of em and dreaded each install
only had 1 compressor fail that im aware of- unless 49 customers are still looking for me
as long as your customer is aware theyre not daikin- if youve installed other kit before then you'll be ok
think theyre only good for a 10tr run

lookin at the install manual- again its gonna be rebadged- that install instructions arent the typical daikin layout
therefore "siesta"- remains budget crap

name a manufacturer where u cant install in an existing building
Features
> Heat pump
> Automatically selects heating
or cooling mode
> 4 way air discharge
> Wired remote as standard
> Air filter

oooh- any manufacturer gives them too
as for the benefits-im blown away!!!
BeneFits

> Efficiently achieves set temperature
> Adjustable direction for controllable
comfort

> Removal of dust particles to ensure
clean air
> Reduces the power consumption by up
to 30% compared to non inverter units

They wont work in cooling below +10degC.

I ended up replacing this with a Mitsi MSZ-GE. The Siesta ended up going in a loft (ventilated) serving a small bedroom (customer wanted nothing outside)
Cool Designs are doing a good offer on the Toshiba RAS Wall mount in 2.5, 3.5 and 5kw until October.

May just extend the temp sensor in to the compressor area so is always warm :-)))))

Re: daikin siesta units Any Good ???
stick it in the cavity- u can extend the sensor line,
its just to initiate defrost of outdoor coil
- theyre not too bad, just the build quaility is crap. if u have to fit an external pump then i think its number 3 is ur permanant live as 2 is your compressor signal- they might of listened to my issues and rectified the problems
