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.

Pro Breeze 9,000 BTU 3-in-1 Smart

For a single medium room this 9,000 BTU model hits the sweet spot on price and running cost, with an impressively low quoted power draw. No heat mode and a touch louder than the flagship at 56 dB, but the smart controls and scheduling are excellent for the money.
