Daikin Perfera
The Perfera is about as good as a single-room split gets, with an A+++ SEER/SCOP rating and a 19 dB(A) whisper mode. As an air-to-air heat pump it delivers strong low-cost heat down to well below freezing, making it a credible primary heat source for a room, not just a summer cooler. You pay a premium, but built-in Onecta Wi-Fi, the Flash Streamer purifier and occupancy sensing justify it.

The WindFree Avant's party trick is 'still air' cooling through thousands of micro-holes, avoiding the cold draught most splits create, and the WindFree mode runs near-silently. The latest generation lifts efficiency to A+++ cooling, and with a SCOP near 4.8 it makes a solid air-to-air heat pump for winter warmth. Built-in SmartThings and self-cleaning round out a well-featured package.
