I use a Sensibo unit with my mini-split. From what I can gather, will work with any mini that has a remote control. https://sensibo.com/ Has a good app, allows scheduling and also has high and low (freeze protection) settings.

I have a 200 sqft office in one corner of a 2000 sq. ft shop, and have a window unit mounted through the wall into the shop. It's about 6 feet from the shops overhead door, which is most always open. It works just fine, a little bit of noise in the shop but that's what shops are for, to make...

I ran into the same issue when changing the rotor on my fathers Z. The hard lines can be bent without damage, and I would recommend doing it this way. Unless you can put a vacuum pump on that caliper, you're going to be pumping all day Ted

Suction on my cheapo Chinese unit is just fine - I haven't had any issues getting solids 'thru' the hose into the unit. Why are they better than a shop-vac? Imagine those times when you're inside the car trying to get the Cheerios out from under the seat. That Shop-vac is banging around on the...

I'd like to add this one: **. A man’s worth in relation to his neighbors shall be measured by the number of engine cylinders in his stable. In no case, shall the number of cylinders be less than the man’s age. However, the number of cylinders may, in exceptional cases, be replaced by total...

That's the one! Remember, if you get multiple units with the same channel, you can 'share' the receivers... I've got one sensor feeding a receiver in the garage as well as the house. FYI - tall grass within 30' of the sensor will trigger the alarm, so it's not as discerning as the more...

These beauties are on sale for $20 this week. Infrared wireless senor head (looks like the ones used for security systems) and a receiver. They claim a range of 400'. We're alone on a cul-de-sac. If someone comes down the street, they are either visiting, or shouldn't be there. I wanted an...
