What air conditioner to buy

1. Of the three represented mobile air conditioners only Timberk AC TIM 09H P4 has the heating mode. Therefore, if this feature is critical, the choice is obvious. But this air conditioner has no remote control and some useful functions (for example, timer). Two other models are more functional, but without heating. De’Longhi RAS AN110 is twice as expensive as the Electrolux EACM-12EZ/N3, while the characteristics and “prestige” of the brand is quite comparable. The only thing is that the Electrolux has much higher noise level.
2. Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-LN25VG / MUZ-LN25VG is noticeably leading in the group of the best split-systems by all parameters. But not the most pleasant side effect is the high price, which will not suit everyone. Comparable in functionality, but much cheaper model – Daikin ATX20K / ARX20K. Actually, only these two conditioners have online-controller. That is why one of them will be the optimal choice for those, who create with their own hands a kind of “clever house”. Toshiba RAS-10SKVP2-E – good and reliable model without frills at a reasonable price, in which it is difficult to find pronounced disadvantages.
3. Of the two models described to make the best choice for the bedroom is fairly easy – the benchmark is the price. Daikin FTXG20L – this is a premium class with all the advantages, LG S12PMG – budget, but in general not a bad model, which fully complies with the declared characteristics.
