The 6100 brings on backup and leaves the compressor running like a conventional split. The rest shut off the compressor and go strips only, more expensive operating costs.
We hate working on these glorified window shakers. GE has a service fleet and handles warranties too so we sell and forget them.
Looking at the web, the Hybrid 52M sorta looks like a Gree. The 52P I can't quite tell whose it is.
