You get what you pay for with those H2i units. I did the same.

I’m too poor to buy cheap. I want something that will work well and last and these have a reputation for doing both. 😊

I'm confused by your meaning of poor. When I was poor, I bought a $20 space heater to keep my room comfortable at night, in a house I rented with 2 roommates. Id never heard of a heat pump, and buying one wouldnt have been feasible.

I could buy something cheap that doesn’t work and have repair bills, burst pipes in winter, etc., or I could buy something built to last. I can’t afford constant maintenance and problems so I do the latter.

Re: degrees of poverty, it’s not a competition; a Somali guy your age would view your experience as a palatial one after all.
