Verdict

The electriQ iQool 9000 BTU Wall Mounted Split Air Conditioner is a highly efficient heating and cooling solution designed for rooms up to 26 m², boasting an exceptional A+++ energy rating for cooling (SEER 8.5) and A++ for heating (SCOP 4.6). Driven by a Super DC Inverter and a reliable GMCC compressor, this smart system integrates built-in Wi-Fi for smartphone scheduling, a 560 m³/h airflow rate, a dedicated dehumidifier, an auto-clean cycle, and "Follow Me" temperature tracking via the remote sensor. Key advantages include its exceptionally low running costs, ultra-quiet 50dB operation, a durable anti-corrosion blue-fin coating, and the convenience of an included 5-metre pre-flared pipe kit to streamline setup. However, it carries notable downsides, such as requiring a certified F-Gas engineer for professional commissioning to validate its warranty, and some users note the aesthetic drawback of lacking black insulation on the exposed exterior pipework.
