Third-party reviews

What we like about Qlima KOOL-SMART15HP 14000 BTU All-in-One

  • No external unit required, ideal for apartments or restricted buildings
  • Powerful cooling and heating performance for large rooms up to 35m²
  • Slim, sleek design (approx. 20cm deep)
  • Smart functionality via app allowing remote control and scheduling
  • Versatile functionality (cooling, heating, and dehumidification)

What we don't like about Qlima KOOL-SMART15HP 14000 BTU All-in-One

  • Requires professional installation for drilling two large, permanent ventilation holes in the wall
  • Can take a significant amount of time to reach desired temperatures in extreme conditions
  • Slightly less efficient than traditional split units in very high temperatures
  • Can be noisy in the room, similar to a hotel-style unit, though not overly loud

Verdict

The Qlima KOOL-SMART15HP is a slim 4-in-1 monoblock system providing 4.1 kW cooling/heating for rooms up to 35m² without an outdoor unit, requiring only two wall vents for installation. Key features include R290 refrigerant, a 3-speed fan, and Wi-Fi control via app or voice assistants. While offering flexible installation for restricted areas, notable drawbacks include 47-61 dB(A) noise levels, a 43.5 kg weight necessitating structural mounting, and the need for external wall drilling and a condensate drain.
