I've been looking at a (somewhat) new breed of heat pump to supplement
my home heating system and these new imported (China?) Mini-split HP
systems seem to be the cure for high oil bills..
Here's the service manual link for the Sanyo 24,000 BTU AC & Heater.

Found at:
24KHS72 - Sanyo 24,200 BTU Heat Pump Air Conditioner Kit
Anyways, my question pertains to page 28 in the manual.
The chart seems to indicate that when it's 18 deg F outdoors,
the until will still deliver 20,850 BTU of heat (indoors @ 70deg)..
I find it amazing that 18,000 BTU can be had when it's 8 degrees outdoors!
Anyways, this is heat,
pumped from the
air outdoors, without any electrical heating elements for boost..
It seems like the perfect little heating system for New England type winters.
(Plus the AC looks pretty nice too).
Question:
What is the draw-back to installing a Mini-split ductless??
I know there has to be something wrong, or everybody would have these..
(They seem too good to be true)...
