This is a fantastic AC. Is very quiet and works very well. Heating and cooling is great and comes on quick. Like all things the product is only half the battle. Get yourself a Air Conditioner installer and not an electrician that slaps in split systems, and you won't have any dramas.

The indoor unit makes cracking noises when operating in heat mode even when the unit is switched off! it seems like it is caused by expansion/contraction and due to low quality parts inside the unit it makes the sound as long as 20minutes after the unit is switched off!

I even asked for Panasonic service to check it out and they acknowledged that there isn't any thing they can do with that kind of sound.

I wouldn't suggest Panasonic air condition units to anybody.

Made a right choice by choosing this aircon. It is quick in cooling with excellent energy saving ratings. Cooling is super fast as well as very comfortable and easy to use. The sleek design and beautiful make adds to the beauty of the house. Easy to clean, with many option on remote control to choose from.

The air con was relatively good priced and packed with technology and noise level is also very low. The installation was smooth by Harvey Norman contractor and his apprentice. Professional work done especially with difficult installation at second level. The air con got our baby through the Melbourne summer last year and looking forward to another year with Panasonic.

Affordable price - bought at binglee when it was on special $870. The installation costed me $600 - of course it has nothing to do with review, just FYI give other buyer price guide :-)

Our bedroom is around 14, 15 Sqm, pretty fast cooling and its not noisy at all.

I am super happy and impressed with the unit's cooling and heating functions! It fills a large room quickly and really lasts however it is not at all cheap to run. It is fairly quiet and very easy to use in regards to settings, temp control etc. The installation was brilliant.

We bought 2.5kw and 7kw model, a small one for our bedroom and a larger one for open living/dining space. Initially, I thought we would need 8kw model but my installer said 7kw is enough and he was right. We haven't try heating option yet but both works efficiently and cooling down spaces quickly. I sometimes feels the small lights on the unit seems bright at night.

Bought this from goodguys taylors lakes not knowing what to expect even though they were so helpful,i only jave a small home and was thrilled that it kept the entire house cool was powerful cool and it was easy to set up and program and it had allergic button yay

Wanted to purchase a Mitsubishi but the guy in the store said this would be better than that. Tried and never regretted. Good performance in cooling. Heating is not that good during most winter days. Power usage also not that bad as i didn't end up receiving huge energy bills so far. Overall good performance

I bought two units (this one and the smaller one) based on energy ratings and Choice reviews. I've been very happy with how well they work and how quiet they are. There are some fancy functions that supposedly react to movement and daylight, but to be honest I've preferred to keep things simple and use the basic functions - I run them at relatively mild temps (25C in summer, 18C in winter), so the energy usage isn't bad at all. Note that I'm in Melbourne, so the unit isn't used constantly.

I'm pretty noise sensitive at night and these aren't really silent, but they are among the quietest I've come across at this price point.

The AC has worked consistent since its installation. It was quick and easy to install and cause no problems for the installer. It also has the option to be silent, which is very beneficial to my studies, as it does not disturb me. The instructions for the AC is also very clear, and easy to use.

This Air conditioner was purchased for a bedroom. We have found it quiet to operate with an easy remote control. We purchased to replace and older unit and have noticed a great reduction in power bill. It keeps a regular sized room nice and cool in summer. It was easily installed in around an hour.

Good unit. Multiple settings to keep the house cool and has the power required whilst not being too loud. Very happy with the purchase and price. Great value for money. It looks good on the wall compared to some other units. Outside the unit has a quiet mode which I'm not sure how it works but doesn't seem to reduce the cooling capability.

My energy bill has not increased despite me using this on a regular basis during hot summer nights, it is very quiet and allows me to sleep in comfort. It is also easy to use and has timer on/off functions. The heating function is also very good although I haven't had much use of it yet. I am sure it will do just fine during winter.

We bought this for our bedroom, and yes, the inverter is quiet, and yes, the quiet mode is so quiet we leave it on through the night and kids can sleep sound, and yes, it is energy efficient. It helps us beat through the nights at this heatwave, I believe it will serve us well during the cold winter season as well. It is expensive, but Panasonic's reliability and good electronic will ensure this is a very good investment.

This was in the house when we purchased it, but so thankull for it! The unit itself is used all winter (live in cold climate) and never skips a beat. We clean out the filters fairly regularly, but even then there isnt alot of build up. Cant really comment on the cold cycle since we rarely use. Would purchase a Panasonic again!
