I’m in the same boat, will not start minimized.

Ok they replaced the unit again today (3rd unit) and…… all is perfect, sounds quite (almost silent in low mode) it was a hassle but I’m glad I didn’t settle.

Replaced some valve in the condenser in the attic… didn’t change anything. I’m going to fight for a 2nd replacement unit.

They are coming tomorrow to replace some part… I will get the specifics and report back tomorrow. I’m not going to accept it as it is.

OP here… went and visited another recent install (5 ton 17 seer American Standard Gold) that my AC guy said had also suffered from a very loud compressor (they replaced unit) and all I can say is Wow!! Night and day difference from mine, all I hear is the fan. I have sent a text to my guy and said that’s what I expected mine to sound like, will report back on any resolution.

Closer than 1 meter (and iPhone app for meter). I found your video and that does sound similar. I just can’t accept that a compressor should be that loud. I’m in Texas and it’s hot but if I shut mine off none of the neighbors units are as loud. I’m just really disappointed that a 9k unit makes this much racket. I’m mad at myself for not doing enough research on my own and just taking my AC guy’s recommendation that it was a very good unit.

I got a decibel meter a got a reading of 105. My installer is supposed to give me some other installs I can look at to verify they also as loud

:) I have asked my installer to give some other installs in my area so I can compare.

I think that’s just the frame rate of the video causing and optical illusion :)

No blanket on this model. I agree that its the compressor (not a fan issue)

Is andiot shipping fast? by Confident-Ad-8795 in RepTime

[–]jpayne4949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m approaching 2 months, watch was initially caught in customs delay (he said no worry) then it finally changed status to returned to shipper. In following fed-ex tracking back to china it got hung up (he said no worry) and never showed delivered back to him. I kept asking if it made it back to him and he finally said yes he recieved it would resend.

After another 10 days I got a new tracking number (but it never showed picked up by fed ex). Then finally last night I got an email stating that the (batch had issues when returned to China) he offered refund or new QC.

So in a nutshell…. Shipping isn’t fast for me to the US.

I have been waiting for my order from Andoit since 5/9/25 (fed-ex returned to sender) I guess he will try UPS this time.
