Pinguino PAC EX100 Silent

The EX100 Silent is De'Longhi's flagship portable, combining an outstanding A++ rating and 3.6 EER with a quiet 49 dB(A) minimum and RealFeel comfort control. Running costs are notably lower than most rivals, though you pay a steep upfront price and it is frequently out of stock.

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.
