  • Inverter technology provides stable temperature maintenance and reduced power consumption
  • Powerful 18,000 BTU cooling capacity suitable for medium-sized rooms and spaces

What we don't like about Candy CY-18TA 18000 BTU

  • Slightly cheap build quality with limited durability of the plastic components

Verdict

The Candy CY-18TA is an 18,000 BTU smart wall-mounted mono-split inverter air conditioner and heat pump that delivers a 4.6 kW cooling and heating capacity, utilizing eco-friendly R32 refrigerant. Operating on a 220-240V power supply, it features an A++ energy class for cooling (SEER 6.3) and A+ for heating (SCOP 4.0), treated air volume flow of 700 m³/h, and integrated Wi-Fi connectivity for smart remote management via the hOn mobile application. Its primary advantages include energy-efficient performance, voice control compatibility, a quiet indoor operation range down to 28 dB(A), and an advanced Self-Clean technology that utilizes cold expansion to sterilize the evaporator. On the downside, its maximum outdoor sound power level can reach up to 65 dB(A), and its heating operational efficiency drops in severe climates below -15°C.
