I had to use a floor mounted unit as it was difficult to install the cheaper wall unit. I have only used Daikin AC so I can't compare it with other brands. This 5.0 kw unit works well, easy to clean filter, quiet & plenty of capacity for 30 sqm lounge, dining, kitchen & internal doors left open. Used sensibly it's as economical as anything else, summer or winter.
- After 2 years it's working very well. If I had to use a floor unit again, apart from the extra expense I would not have a problem with this unit.
-It's only the extra expense because it's not a wall unit. It could have a little bit of a cosmetic makeover. The rear third of the unit can be set into the wall. If you have a brick wall the unit needs to sit against the wall and doesn't look quite right but it's far from the end of the year.
