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.

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.
