Table of participants in the ranking of the best air conditioners for the home in 2022
The best split system models of 2022
Ballu BSO-07HN1
Characteristics
- operating mode: cooling / heating
- add. modes: dehumidification, night, ventilation
- filters: deodorizing
- cooling power: 2200 W / heating: 2340 W
- features: remote control, winter set, adjustment
- energy efficiency class: A
Unlocks Ballu BSO-07HN1 rating. Designed for maintaining the temperature in rooms up to 21 m². Works on On/Off technology – cyclic switching on and off of the compressor when the set temperature is reached. It is measured by a sensor inside the remote control, which allows the system to more accurately control the microclimate in the room than in the case when the temperature sensor is located directly in the indoor unit. By the way, not all models in the rating can boast of such a solution.
Functionality standard – cooling / heating (when the outdoor air temperature is not lower than -7 °C), there is an adjustment of the temperature regime, the fan speed of the indoor unit, an on / off timer, night mode. And also there is a function of self-diagnosis and self-cleaning. Power in cooling mode – 2200 W, in heating mode – 2340 W. The minimum noise level during operation is 23 dB.
The air conditioner is activated from the remote control, the ergonomics of which users are not very satisfied with: it is large, while half of the body is empty, the buttons are small, which is not very convenient to use. There is also no backlight. There is a hidden display illuminated by white LEDs on the unit itself. Some users find it too bright – can be turned off with the remote control.
- Price;
- Quiet operation of the indoor unit;
- Design.
- Noisy outdoor unit
- Ergonomics of the remote control.
. The usual air conditioner, which many experts called outdated. He got into the rating because of the low price tag, reliability and popularity among buyers. 98% of Yandex users. Markets recommend it for purchase, and 90% gave it the maximum rating of 5 stars. If you are on a budget, then this is really what you need.
If it is possible to overpay, we recommend paying attention to inverter models: they are more reliable and provide fine temperature control. The cheapest will be Electrolux EACS I-07HAT N3. Its main drawback is the high noise level during the operation of the indoor unit, which can interfere with sleep, but it is ideal for the hall and kitchen. But the more expensive models are universal, but the price tag exceeds 40,000 rubles.
Hisense AS-09HR4SYCDC5
Characteristics
- operating mode: cooling / heating
- fine filter
- number of fan speeds: 5
- cooling power: 2500 W / heating: 2550 W
- noise level of the indoor unit: 32 dB – 38 dB
- energy efficiency class: A
Seventh place is occupied by Hisense AS-09HR4SYCDC5. Another air conditioner with a classic motor. Unlike the Ball, Hisense is designed to service a room up to 25 m², and heating is possible at an outdoor temperature of at least -10 °C. Equipped with an IFeel sensor – temperature setting by a smart system based on ambient temperature. Feature – 5 power modes of operation of the fans of the indoor unit. Most competitors have 3 or 4.
To optimize energy consumption there is a SMART mode – the air conditioner automatically selects the mode to maintain the set temperature (only works for temperatures from 22 to 26 degrees). There is also a “night mode” – the operation of the fans of the indoor unit at minimum speed. A feature of the mode is to turn off the air conditioner after 8 hours of operation. Power in cooling mode – 2500 W, in heating mode – 2550 W. Maximum noise level during operation – 38 dB. The remote control is convenient, but according to some users, its display has too many icons and even a clock. The indoor unit has a hidden display that can be turned off.
- Price;
- Quiet operation of the external block;
- Temperature sensor in the remote control;
- 5 fan speeds for the indoor unit.
- The ergonomics of the remote control is not to the liking of some users.
. A good air conditioner that works according to classical technology is the cycling on / off of the compressor to maintain the temperature set by the user. Such air conditioners are cheaper, but, according to experts, they have a shorter service life due to the physical wear of parts due to the frequent switching on / off of the compressor. However, purchased models of a similar plan 10 or more years ago, with proper operation and maintenance, still work.
The manufacturer promises a three-year warranty. Therefore, saving in this case is appropriate, unless, of course, you plan to use the air conditioner for heating in winter. Otherwise, you should consider models with an inverter compressor. But their price tag is at least one and a half times higher.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries SRK20ZSPR-S
Characteristics
- operating mode: cooling / heating
- features: remote control, heat pump, airflow direction adjustment
- add. modes: dehumidification, night, ventilation
- cooling power: 2000W / heating: 2700W
- noise level of the indoor unit: 23 dB – 45 dB
- energy efficiency class: A
In sixth place is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries SRK20ZSPR-S. Equipped with an inverter motor. When the set temperature is reached, the air does not turn off, but goes into low power mode, reducing the number of switching cycles and increasing the compressor life. In addition, air conditioners made using this technology can be used for heating in winter (at temperatures down to minus 20 °C). The air conditioner is designed to work in a room up to 20 m². The functionality is standard – auto mode, on / off timer, night mode, auto-restart, self-cleaning and self-diagnosis, blinds adjustment. Dust and allergen filtration system and indoor unit automatic self-cleaning technology make the air in the room fresh and safe from the point of view of bacterial pollution.
Heating power – 2700, for cold – 2000 W. The model belongs to the energy efficiency class A. Noise level – from 23 to 45 decibels. The control is carried out from the remote control of a small size, but there is a monochrome LCD display – the control is intuitive. But on the indoor unit there is no information data (display or LEDs), which some users do not like.
- Quiet operation of the outdoor unit;
- inverter motor;
- Compact indoor unit;
- Cools the room quickly.
- Price;
- The indoor unit is noisy;
- Remote control without backlight.
When turned on for heating, it is in the “defrost” mode for a long time.
The price is 34,000 rubles. Suitable for use in small rooms. The problem of noisy operation of the indoor unit fan is partially solved by turning on the “night mode”, but even in this case, some users who have something to compare with, it seems that the air conditioner is noisy. Therefore, we do not recommend installing it in the bedroom. It is better to overpay and buy LG P09EP2: it is designed for heating and cooling rooms up to 26 m² and works a little quieter.
Electrolux EACS I-07HAT N3
Characteristics
- operating mode: cooling / heating
- filters: deodorizing
- add. modes: dehumidification, night, ventilation

- indoor unit noise level: 24 dB
- energy efficiency class: A
Fifth place goes to Electrolux EACS I-07HAT N3. Air conditioner with inverter compressor, designed to work indoors up to 20 m². Energy efficiency class – A. At the same time, the actual electricity consumption in heating mode will be less than that of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries – only 650 kW / h versus 790. But in cooling mode, the competitor will be more economical – 650 versus 545 for Mitsubishi. Power in heating mode – 2300, cold – 2200 W.
Minimum noise level during operation – 24 dB. The functionality is similar – cooling, heating, dehumidification and circulation mode. In heating mode, it works at a temperature not lower than -15 ° C. Equipped with an effective filter system – mechanical, antibacterial, deodorizing. On the inner side there is a hidden display that shows the operating temperature. Pretty bright, but if necessary, turns off with the remote control. The remote itself is subjectively more convenient than that of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries: the buttons are larger and more logically arranged. The price is 32,000 rubles.
- Indoor unit design;
- inverter motor;
- Cools the room quickly
- Possibility of use for heating in cold weather.
- The indoor unit is noisy;
- Remote control without backlight.
In heating mode, this model is the most energy efficient in the rankingYes, but when cooled, the opposite is true. If you want to save energy and do not plan to use the air conditioner for heating often, it is better to choose another model. Suitable for installation in the bedroom, but you should not expect the most quiet operation. The Daikin ATXC20B is the best in this regard, but it also costs 53,000 rubles. Therefore, we recommend the golden mean – LG P09EP2.
Daikin ATXC20B
Characteristics
- operating mode: cooling / heating
- filters: deodorizing
- add. modes: dehumidification, night, ventilation
- cooling power: 2000W / heating: 2500W

In fourth place is Daikin ATXC20B. Works on inverter technology on an area up to 20 m². It belongs to the budget line of the manufacturer, while being the most expensive in the ranking. It costs 53,000 rubles. The price is justified by the high build quality, quiet operation, the presence of additional filters with silver ions and the backlight of the remote control display. Users have complaints about the latter – it is large and heavy. The high price is partly justified by the highest energy efficiency. To evaluate it, the company uses indicators that take into account seasonal temperature fluctuations.
The seasonal cooling SEER is 6.81 and the seasonal heating SCOP is 4.35. According to the standards adopted in Europe, according to these indicators, the air conditioner belongs to the energy efficiency class A ++ for cooling, A + for heating. Power in heating mode – 2500, cold – 2000 W. The maximum noise level is 38, the minimum is 19 dB. Can work for heating at significant negative outdoor temperatures (up to -15 ° C). In terms of functionality, it does not stand out from competitors.

The last two options are controversial, but a set of filters is a really good solution for fighting bacteria, fungus, unpleasant odors and dust during the operation of the air conditioner. A set of such filters will cost no more than 2,000 rubles.. They need to be replaced periodically. It will come out expensive. But the air conditioner itself is not cheap. It costs 32,000 rubles with a working area of up to 20 m². In terms of functionality, it does not differ from competitors: the same remote control with the iFeel function – temperature control near the remote control.
The design is interesting – a black strip running through the entire length of the outdoor unit adds aesthetics, and an informative display hidden behind it makes it possible to control the operation of the air conditioner. The remote control has a large display. It is not very convenient that the operating modes are displayed on it not with icons, but with words in English, and there is no backlight. The buttons are small, but arranged logically and intuitively. Power in heating mode – 2300, cold – 2200 W. Noise level: minimum – 24, maximum – 33 dB. Minimum temperature for heating mode – minus 15 °C.
- Possibility of use for heating in cold weather;
- Quiet operation;
- The possibility of expanding the functionality;
- Price;
- The remote control is not convenient for all users.
A good air conditioner that can be equipped with additional filters if you care about your health and indoor air quality. And also someone may find the Wi-Fi control option useful. Turning on the air conditioner from the office to keep your room cool when you get home is not a bad idea.
On the other hand, all models in the rating have a turn-on timer, and users have adapted to use it in order to ensure a comfortable temperature regime at home for relaxation. Whether such a decision is worth the overpayment is up to you. An AUX air conditioner with a full set of filters and a Wi-Fi module will cost more than 40,000 rubles. The LG P09EP2, which features energy management and is designed for an area of up to 26 m2, will cost several thousand less.

LG P09EP2 became the leader of the rating. Brand new from famous brand. Service area – 26 m². Reliable inverter motor with a manufacturer’s warranty for 10 years, high quality materials and workmanship – all in the best traditions of LG. The remote control is traditionally not the most convenient for brand air conditioners – a lot of small buttons, no backlight. Peculiarity – the ability to regulate not only the temperature regime and the power of the fans of the indoor unit, but also the power consumption.
Depending on the number of people in the room according to the manufacturer’s recommendations in the passport, you can choose 1 of 5 operating modes to maintain the set temperature throughout the premises with energy optimization. For example, in a room where one person is resting, and in a room with 3 people dancing, the intensity and frequency of changing the compressor operating mode will be different. In the first case, the air conditioner will save up to 60 percent of electricity compared to the second. Yet It is possible to control the air temperature in the room.
A special button on the remote control can transmit a signal and display information about it on the air conditioner display. And for specialists – for example, installers and repairmen – there is a convenient application for a smartphone, with which they can assess the technical condition of the air conditioner according to the main operating parameters. Power in heating mode – 2640, in cooling mode – also 2640 W. Noise level during operation: maximum – 45, minimum – 22 dB. .
