Anyone use cassettes vs the wall mount unit on a mini-split?

[ratflinger]

Only reason is that the smallest mini is plenty for one room and a small room next door would probably be great for the duct take-off. Wondering how the cassettes perform compared to the wall units.

Cassettes have considerably lower efficency than wall units.

Thanks, I had wondered about that.

Cassettes have considerably lower efficency than wall units.

Curious where this info comes from? Not saying it is wrong but I have never heard it, or seen it? Cassettes are more expensive, more work to install, and more work to maintain but I can't see how they would be less efficient. I think the wall mount units are more economical for the stated reasons but I haven't seen where they say they are less efficient.

Down load this Fujitsu catalogue as an example. It has wall, floor units and ceiling cassettes. All versions have SEER and HSPF efficiency ratings, you can compare the different minisplits.
