Pinguino PAC EL98 ECO Silent
The EL98 pairs a strong 10,700 BTU output with De'Longhi's RealFeel humidity control and a low 47 dB(A) silent mode, making it one of the quieter high-output single-hose units you can buy. Bulky at 33kg and priced at a premium, but for open-plan spaces up to around 40m² it delivers reliable, well-controlled cooling.

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.
