Let me tell you, this little cleaning kit has saved me both time and money. As someone who regularly maintains multiple mini-split units, I was skeptical at first, but this product delivers where it counts.
The waterproof PVC cover is the real MVP here. It creates a perfect funnel that catches nearly all the dirty water (I'd say about 99% in my experience). The drain hose might look small, but it handles water flow surprisingly well - no backups or leaks during my cleaning sessions.
While the included brushes and tools are nice to have, I found myself mostly using just the pry tools to position the unit and the cleaning cover itself. The real magic happens when you pair this with a spray cleaner or pressure washer - the combination makes professional-level cleaning possible at home.
One tip I learned: make sure to position the cover properly behind the unit before starting. It takes a bit of practice, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be cleaning your mini-splits like a pro. The difference in airflow after cleaning is noticeable immediately.
For the price, this kit offers incredible value compared to professional cleaning services. Just be gentle with the material - while durable, it's not indestructible. Overall, a must-have for any mini-split owner looking to maintain their units efficiently.
