£2,400–£3,200 installed · Daikin's flagship residential split; exceptionally quiet, R32, with a wide modulation range that suits small UK bedrooms.

£2,600–£3,400 installed · Mitsubishi's design-led residential split; three indoor finishes, Plasma Quad filtration, premium build.

£1,600–£2,300 installed · Daikin's value-tier split; the workhorse you specify when budget matters but you still want a brand with proper UK parts support.

£2,200–£2,900 installed · Panasonic's residential range with nanoe™ X air purification; a credible answer when 'cooling and cleaner air' is the brief, not just temperature.

£450–£600 · The best-executed portable on the UK market; but still a portable.

£1,500–£2,100 installed · Toshiba's entry split; unshowy, competently engineered, and the honest answer when a third bedroom or a small home office needs a real fixed unit rather than another portable.

£1,900–£2,600 installed · Mitsubishi's workhorse split; the same MELCloud ecosystem and long parts support as the MSZ-LN, in a plain white body at a mid-market price.

£2,300–£3,000 installed · Samsung's Wind-Free residential split; the indoor unit dispenses cool air through a perforated face rather than a directed vent, resolving the draught complaint that quietly ends most living-room AC conversations.
