A good-value smart inverter unit for a bedroom or office up to about 350 sq ft. It’s quieter and cheaper to run than TCL’s fixed-speed models for little extra money.

A quiet, efficient pick for bedrooms and living rooms up to 450 sq ft. The U shape lets you keep using the window and keeps the compressor noise outside.
