Air con­di­tion­ers have dif­fer­ent modes of oper­a­tion: cool­ing, dehu­mid­i­fi­ca­tion, heat­ing, ven­ti­la­tion. With the remote con­trol includ­ed with many devices, you can eas­i­ly select set­tings. Some mod­els have a built-in Wi-Fi mod­ule that allows you to con­trol the device using your smart­phone. If you need air con­di­tion­ing for the bed­room, you should pay atten­tion to the noise lev­el of the indoor unit and the pres­ence of a night mode in which the device oper­ates qui­et­ly and con­sumes a min­i­mum amount of elec­tric­i­ty.

Today you can find air con­di­tion­ers in dif­fer­ent price seg­ments. They are pro­duced by both well-known and lit­tle-known man­u­fac­tur­ers. At the same time, the func­tion­al­i­ty of bud­get and expen­sive mod­els is often sim­i­lar. We decid­ed to find out how air con­di­tion­ers from dif­fer­ent man­u­fac­tur­ers dif­fer from each oth­er, and whether it is worth over­pay­ing for a pop­u­lar name.
