Has anyone had a go at installing one of these in their games room?
Just after some feedback and thoughts.

Pre gassed Air Con units

Hi Dave,
Installed one if these in my pinroom. Pretty hefty bit of kit but fairly simple to install. Just a plug and play unit. So far, only used in heating mode over winter as it hasn't been too warm yet and so far no problems. Simple to operate but I've not connected over WiFi as not a great signal in the garage so just manually operated it.
Worst part was having to core 2 x 180mm holes for the intake/exhaust and the lining sheet they supply seems a bit basic and is a little fiddly to fit inside the core but seems to work well once fitted.
Got more pics if you want.
Cheers
I think hes asking about the ones with separate indoor/outdoor unit that comes pre-gassed in the lines and unit and has quick connects to plug in.
Read through a manual as was curious about it and seems pretty simple to put together.

You will need at minimum a vacuum pump and appropriate hose to set one of these up (you need to vacuum the hoses and the indoor unit before releasing the charge from the outdoor unit)
There used to be "quick connect" split air conditioners where the hoses were pre-charged and you connected them with a lever operated connector, but the EU banned these as they don't want non f-gas qualified people from being able to install air conditioners themselves
I wonder if they still supplies these then as the page contradicts you.
- Easy-Fit: Comes pre-gassed with HFC-free refrigerant and does not require specialist equipment to install. Everything required to install is supplied as standard
Installation information
This advanced air conditioner uses environmentally friendly and efficient HFC-free refrigerant. Unlike most split air conditioners on the market, this air conditioner does not contain fluorinated gases which have high Global Warming Potential and are harmful to the environment. Therefore it does not require installation by an F-Gas registered engineer or specialist equipment for typical installation. The person installing the unit must understand the installation manual, be aware of the safety precautions required and be confident they can complete the installation before starting. Our units are designed to reduce the installation time. The indoor and outdoor units are pre-gassed and sealed and they come with a pre-flared pipe kit for easy installation. The indoor unit should be fitted to the wall using the mounting plate supplied in the box. The condenser should be fixed on the ground or wall-mounted on the outside of the wall with the optional wall-mounting bracket. The unit is supplied with 4.5 metre copper pipe and electrical cable which reduces the need to purchase additional parts.

They don't seem to include the installation manual for this model. You should probably ask them for that before buying. It may well have changed in this "v3" model
I have the exact same AC unit, but the "v2", this one is the v3
From my v2 manual :-

From what I can see there is two models. A cheaper one that needs to be vac'd but this claims to not need to be vacuumed.
