Top 10 air conditioners for apartments in terms of price-quality ratio

An inexpensive but high-quality air conditioner is ideal for my apartment. It is desirable that you can install the model yourself. Are there any on the market? I asked myself this question and found several worthy options, but one caught my attention the most. Let's figure out together why this particular device was chosen.

1st place — Wall-mounted split system Aeronik ASI/ASO-12HS4

I’ll say right away that I was looking for a model costing up to 30 thousand rubles. I wanted it to be powerful, with a remote control, and to look decent.

My favorite is the wall-mounted split system Aeronik ASI/ASO-12HS4. This is a relatively inexpensive air conditioner that works perfectly. To install the system, you will not need to involve specialists; you can do it yourself. The climate control system works well, there are many timers. Electricity consumption is low, air purification is at a high level.

The design is quite nice, streamlined shape, that's all. I'll take it! I think that a better option will be difficult to find, or it will be quite expensive.

Main advantages:

• effective;
• there is a remote control;
• interesting design.

Main disadvantages:

• not detected.

I like the air conditioner, especially the ease of control. An excellent option for the Russian climate. If a malfunction occurs, the system issues a special code. It can be used to determine the type of error. (Konstantin, Barnaul)

2nd place - Wall-mounted split system Hisense AS-09HR4SYDDEB3

An excellent option for your money. I liked that the air conditioner looks modern and stylish. It is made in black color, which means it will not get dirty.

Doesn’t make noise, looks stylish, copes with an area of ​​20 m2². A separate plus is the easy-to-use remote control. However, there is one thing - the system takes a long time to activate. For me personally this is not suitable. I will focus on practicality rather than appearance.

Main advantages:

• cools well;
• appearance;
• simple remote control.

Main disadvantages:

• takes a long time to turn on.

Characteristics:

Reviews

The model is not inverter, which means more energy consumption, but the option is good. It’s unlikely to be suitable for hot regions, but for the central part of the Russian Federation it’s just right. (Olga, Yaroslavl)

3rd place - Wall-mounted split system Timberk AC TIM 07H S20

Quiet model with the ability to adjust the degree of airflow. There are several useful features that expensive models have. The main drawback is the loud buttons on the remote control. This option is not for me: the appearance is simple, when you activate the device, you can hear it even in the next room - all this is not pleasing.

Main advantages:

• quiet;
• inexpensive;
• economical.

Main disadvantages:

• not found.

Characteristics:

Reviews

A budget option worth considering. The operating instructions for the device are quite clear. The model itself is economical and does not make noise. It's definitely worth buying. (Igor, Obninsk)

4th place - Wall-mounted split system Energolux SAS07Z1-AI/SAU07Z1-AI

An option with a decent appearance, a well-known company - that’s not bad. The build quality is good and the remote control is easy to understand. The device operates quietly. An additional plus is the inverter compressor.

I like everything, but they say that if such a device breaks, it will be expensive to fix. This is sad, I wouldn’t want repairs to cost 1/3 of the price of the equipment. It's better to play it safe and take a simpler model.

Main advantages:

• very quiet;
• you can control the air flow;
• compressor made in Japan.

Main disadvantages:

• expensive repairs.

Characteristics:

The quality and equipment of the device are good. The model is silent and has an ionizer. So far no flaws have been found. (Oleg, Norilsk)

5th place - Wall-mounted split system Energolux SAS07B1-A/SAU07B1-A

The inexpensive model has excellent build quality. The device copes with maintaining the climate in rooms with an area of ​​up to 25 m2². There are a sufficient number of functions - maintaining a set temperature, self-diagnosis, etc. Why didn’t this model suit me? After reading several reviews about it, I learned that the device can buzz, and quite loudly. Moreover, it does not protect from heat above +30. The last minus is not a drawback for me - we don’t have such a summer in the city. But the hum is not needed at all.

Main advantages:

• excellent build quality;
• cools perfectly.

Main disadvantages:

• buzzing.

Characteristics:

Reviews

The model works great for both heating and cooling. You can even hang the air conditioner in the bedroom - it does not make noise. The cost remains acceptable. (Inna, Reutov)

6th place - Wall-mounted split system Scoole SC AC SPI2 12

An air conditioner of this type is inconvenient to operate. On the plus side, there is a timer, settings memory and other interesting functions. The device is powerful, cools and heats quickly. However, they say that in cooling mode the model does not perform at its best. Yes, it’s cold, but not much, it’s hardly suitable for a hot summer. In general, the option is not bad, but complicated.

Main advantages:

• works quietly;
• doesn't creak.

Main disadvantages:

• difficult to set up.

Characteristics:

Reviews

I like it because it makes virtually no noise. Another plus is energy consumption; the device “eats” almost 2 times less than older models.(Elizabeth, Dedovsk)

7th place - Wall-mounted split system Energolux SAS09L1-A/SAU09L1-A

A stylish model with compact dimensions operates almost silently. Filtration is good and cools quickly. The design is beautiful, there is an additional set of functions. The disadvantage is that the remote control is not very clear to use. Again, this option is not for me - I think that the technique should be understandable to those who use it.

Main advantages:

• quiet;
• powerful;
• There is a drying mode.

Main disadvantages:

• The remote control is unclear.

Characteristics:

Reviews

The air conditioner is really compact and ionizes well. I can’t say that the unit is completely silent, but it’s not loud either. In principle, I’m satisfied, it’s worth the money. (Stanislav, Brest)

8th place - Wall-mounted split system Timberk T-AC12-S27

The model has good appearance and performance. The device works accurately in absolutely all modes. There is an auto restart, which is convenient. In principle, one could take such a model. I was not impressed only by the appearance. And it’s also strange, why such a ridiculous price for such a device? Maybe it won't work for long? I try to avoid expensive equipment.

Main advantages:

• there is a timer;
• good appearance;
• Excellent performance.

Main disadvantages:

• appearance.

Characteristics:

The air conditioner performed well even with intensive use. Cools the room evenly. Maintains the set temperature well. (Ruslan, Donetsk)

9th place - Wall-mounted split system Hyundai H-AR19-12H

Not a bad model, heats and cools well. It works flawlessly, regardless of the time of year. It consumes little energy and is light in weight - easy to mount on the wall.But judging by the reviews, sometimes the heating function of the system malfunctions - sometimes it does not work at full power, sometimes it refuses to turn on at all. I don’t need problems, as I understand it, it’s up to you whether you get a good device or not. I won't take any risks.

Main advantages:

• does not make noise;
• perfectly remembers favorite modes;
• independently diagnoses problems.

Main disadvantages:

• The heating function is not working.

Characteristics:

It's a good air conditioner, I don't regret purchasing it. Cools perfectly, is able to remember your favorite modes. (Mikhail, Zhukovsky)

10th place - Wall-mounted split system AUX ASW-H09A4/DE-R1DI

The good thing about air conditioning is that you can adjust it to suit you. It is possible to adjust the fan speed and purchase additional filters. There is an air drying mode. You can also control the system via Wi-Fi. In general, there are a lot of bells and whistles, and the price is also appropriate. And so, there are models that are more budget-friendly and better in quality. I prefer to choose a more practical option.

Main advantages:

• the ability to regulate the system;
• maintains the set temperature well.

Main disadvantages:

• no remote control backlight.

Characteristics:

Reviews

I installed it recently, no complaints. If you set the temperature from your phone, the device will maintain it. The only thing I didn’t like was that there is no remote control backlight, it would be nice if there was one. (Leonid, Ulyanovsk)

Conclusion

If we consider split systems in terms of price-quality ratio specifically for an apartment, the best model can be called Aeronik ASI/ASO-12HS4. It is convenient, inexpensive, and has several modes. If any error occurs during operation of the device, the system issues a special code. Thanks to this, the problem can be quickly resolved.

At the same time, the device does not make noise, and, judging by the reviews, it breaks down extremely rarely. I'm ready to buy this option right now. I hope it will serve me for many years.
