MeacoCool MC10000CH

The MC10000CH is the most capable of Meaco's standard MC range and has earned strong reviews for serious cooling at a sensible price. It clears larger living rooms up to 28m², adds genuine winter heating, and ships with both rigid and flexible window kits. Bulky and single-hose, but the performance-per-pound is hard to fault.

Russell Hobbs RHPAC12001

The RHPAC12001 is the pick for year-round use: 12,000 BTU cooling plus a heat mode and a strong 41 L/day dehumidifier make it a genuine all-seasons appliance. SmartLife app, Alexa and Google Home control add real convenience. Still a 31kg, 65 dB single-hose unit, but the feature set justifies the premium.
