Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Daikin FTXB35C

  • Extremely quiet operation, with noise levels as low as 21 dBA, making it ideal for bedrooms
  • Strong energy efficiency, rated at A+ for both heating and cooling, which helps lower utility bills
  • Effective heating and cooling with an inverter system that rapidly reaches and maintains the desired temperature
  • Reliable and durable build quality, consistent with Daikin's industry reputation
  • Equipped with Titanium Apatite Photocatalytic air filters that trap dust and deodorize the room

What we don't like about Daikin FTXB35C

  • Lacks modern built-in Wi-Fi or advanced smart home integration out of the box
  • Basic, utilitarian indoor unit design that some users find less stylish compared to premium models
  • Some customers find the remote control interface to be a bit dated and less intuitive
  • Can be more expensive upfront compared to budget-brand alternatives

Verdict

The Daikin FTXB35C is a wall-mounted wall split inverter air conditioner with a nominal cooling capacity of 3.30 kW (11,260 BTU/h) and a heating capacity of 3.50 kW, featuring an A+ seasonal energy rating for both modes with a SEER of 6.05 and SCOP of 4.06. Main characteristics and pros include its ultra-quiet indoor operation down to 21 dB(A), an advanced titanium apatite photocatalytic air-purifying filter, a 20-minute rapid turbo mode, and a flat, easy-to-clean front panel that blends smoothly into residential spaces. However, prominent cons include its reliance on the older R410A refrigerant rather than the more modern and eco-friendly R32, limited basic 24-hour timer functionality on the remote without advanced weekly programming, and the lack of built-in smart Wi-Fi connectivity for smartphone application control.
