Which Reverse Air A/C Heat Unit

[rlynch03]

My good friend replaced all his (3) units with MarinAire and swore by them. Good price, gauges built in...

What has everyone replaced their units with and how do you rate the replacement...?

1. Air Flow (more or less)
2. Sound Levels
3. Ability to cool/heat comparable
4. Issues

I am a fan of Mermaid from Ft Myers, FL. We have been using them for over 25 years. No issues. Great customer service. 2nd is Webasto, I could not get a Mermaid fast enough and had heard about Webasto, so tried one. The Webasto is very quiet, we have one under the v berth, I cannot tell when the compressor kicks in other than the air gets cooler or warmer.

I installed a Marinaire in our last boat and it worked well. Our current 480, I have installed 2 Webasto units and am more impressed. Very quiet, and it will turn off in heat mode when satisfied, but in AC, the fan continues to blow allowing air to circulate which prevents mold.
