Split Daikin Inverter
The Split Daikin Inverter is one of the best Dakin air conditioners and consequently one of the best options on the market today. This model specifically is available in two versions: Advance and Advance Plus, with options of 9000 btus, 12000 btus, hot and cold, cold only, among other variations. The difference between the models is small, with emphasis on the Advance Plus control, which has a display that lights up in the dark.
One of its highlights is the low noise, between 19 db and 42 db in the Advance model and between 21 db and 37 db in the Advance Plus, being quieter than other alternatives on the market. As for energy consumption, the basic model has an A-rated energy efficiency, consuming an average of 758 Wh for the 9,000 btu version and 1026 Wh for the 12,000 btu cooling version.

Split Fujitsu Inverter
In the world of air conditioners, Fujitsu is compared to a Ferrari, being the dream of many people. Among so many good models, we can highlight the Split Fujitsu Inverter, known for its excellent build quality and durability. The available models are classified A in electrical energy consumption, with a consumption of 1130 W/h for the 12,000 btu model and 740 W/h for the 9,000 btu model, which is common in many inverter splits.
The emission of noise by the evaporator is between 21 and 43 decibels, which is very quiet. However, we must remember that Fujitsu models are the most expensive on the market, and the installation of the device must be carried out by the brand’s authorized technical assistance in order not to lose the warranty, which can be considered a negative point.

In the LG catalog, we highlight the Split LG Dual Inverter air conditioner, a good quality device with superior technology compared to other models of the brand. It has good cooling or heating power and is very quiet, with noise levels ranging from 19 to 39 Db. Also, the Jet Dry function to dehumidify the air works really well. The only disadvantage is that the remote control does not have lighting, which can make it difficult to use it in dark environments, such as in the bedroom at night.
In terms of energy consumption, the model is average, with 815Wh for the 9000 BTU version and 1085Wh for the 12000 BTU version. It is worth mentioning that the compressor warranty is 10 years, which can be an attraction for those looking for a more durable product.
