As the warm season approaches, the Consumers and Users Organization, known as OCU, published a study analyzing the heat pump type 51 air conditioner model. The findings can serve as a practical guide for selecting a high‑performing device for a residence or workspace. [OCU]
For this study, devices were subjected to tests assessing cooling and heating efficiency, overall performance, equipment quality, comfort, and ease of use. The goal was to offer clear criteria beyond advertised specs, helping consumers compare real-world results.
Two models recommended by the OCU
The study highlights Fujitsu ASY 25 UI-LMC and Daikin AXF25A (also listed as ATXF25A or ARXF25A) as strong candidates. Both carry an energy label of A++, come with useful features, and are priced under 600 Euros. [OCU]
The Fujitsu unit stands out for efficient operation in both cooling and heating, with even air distribution contributing to a comfortable environment. It includes an ECO mode to conserve energy during use, though its standby consumption offers room for improvement. The current price starts around 464 euros, with estimated annual energy use of about 148 euros. [OCU]
The Daikin model, priced around 510 euros, shows annual energy usage near 150 euros. The OCU notes it provides excellent value for money with modest energy consumption, and temperature control keeps conditions stable. It also notes potential improvements when dehumidification is needed in cooling mode. [OCU]
Specifically, the Daikin option is praised for balancing price and performance, delivering reliable cooling and comfortable operation in the tested scenarios. [OCU]
