Our verdict · The right-sized, quiet, well-priced all-rounder that cools the rooms most people actually want to cool.

Buy it if

You want to cool a typical bedroom or home office (roughly 20-22 m2) quietly, with WiFi control and year-round heating, without overspending.

For the rooms most UK buyers genuinely want to cool - a bedroom or a home office - the MC Series Pro 9000 hits the sweet spot of size, noise and value that puts it ahead of the pricier picks below. It is a genuine compressor unit (cooling, heating, dehumidifier and fan modes), rated A for energy, and controllable via the Meaco app or remote. Retailer listings quote a bedroom-friendly ~52 dB and a running cost of around 25p an hour, and rate it for rooms up to roughly 20-22 m2, which matches the brief precisely. Versus the De'Longhi EL112 at #2 you give up outright cooling capacity and the fullest smart ecosystem, but you save a meaningful amount (about £400 direct against an indicative £600-650) while keeping WiFi and heating; versus the budget NETTA you pay roughly double, but gain app control, heating, A-rated efficiency and quieter running. It ships with a free flexible window kit and a 2-year warranty.

The good & the bad

Pros

  • Right-sized 9,000 BTU and a retailer-listed ~52 dB suit bedrooms and offices, where bigger units are overkill
  • Cheaper than the De'Longhi EL112 yet still includes WiFi app control and year-round heating
  • A-rated with an included flexible window kit and a 2-year warranty from a specialist UK brand

Cons

  • Will struggle to keep up in large open-plan rooms beyond about 22 m2
  • Not the quietest option here - the inverter Cirro+ goes lower for the noise-sensitive
