Black+Decker BXAC40008GB

A straightforward, high-output workhorse with a strong 40 L/day dehumidification claim and a self-evaporating system that reduces manual draining. It lacks Wi-Fi and heating, so it is less flexible than the Pro Breeze flagship, but it is simpler and often cheaper.

MeacoCool MC7000CH

The MC7000CH is a sensible small-room all-rounder: quiet enough for a bedroom, cheap to run on R290 refrigerant and backed by a 3-year warranty. Heating mode makes it useful outside summer, though at 7,000 BTU it will struggle in anything larger than a small lounge.
