Also, throw away the cheap remote that you control the mini split and get a real thermostat that you can program, like the newer ecobee or nest thermostats used in your home. \

In my opinion, Mitsubishi & Dalkin make the best mini-split. I used a lot of them, in commercial applications.
One of the biggest advantage of mini-splits, is the remote control. They provide nearly instant heat or air conditioning. There's generally no reason to keep them running or constantly managed ... they're not designed for that purpose, they are "on demand HVAC". In my experience, the useful life when used "on demand" is likely to be 10-12 years. Constantly managed/used, more like 6-8 years.
