In detail: Hisense CA35YR01G Split Inverter Air Conditioner
The Hisense CA35YR01G belongs to the Easy Smart range (also sold as Brissa in some markets) from the Chinese manufacturer, better known to the general public for its consumer electronics than for air conditioning, but increasingly present in this segment with an accessible price positioning. This fixed reversible split air conditioner delivers 3.4 kW nominal in cooling (12000 BTU/h, A++ class, SEER 6.1) and 3.8 kW in heating (A+ class, SCOP 4.0), for a room of about 25 to 35 m² depending on insulation.
3D Inverter technology drives the compressor, allowing continuous power modulation rather than abrupt on-off cycles, resulting in more stable and quieter operation once the set temperature is reached. The indoor unit drops as low as 22 dB(A) in silent mode and stays under 39 dB(A) at top speed, a perfectly decent level for this price segment. The R32 refrigerant runs through the circuit, with a 640 g charge.
Contrary to what its "Easy Smart" name might suggest, WiFi is not built in as standard on this model: it requires an optional module to be added for remote control from a smartphone. The supplied infrared remote control therefore remains the main day-to-day control method.
Like any fixed split air conditioner, made up of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit connected by a refrigerant line (up to 15 m, maximum height difference 7 m), installation of the CA35YR01G must be entrusted to a certified professional qualified to handle the refrigerant, a European regulatory requirement. The manufacturer states a warranty of 3 years on parts and 5 years on the compressor.
For anyone looking for a fixed air conditioner with good value for money, effective Inverter regulation and discreet nighttime operation, the Hisense CA35YR01G remains a serious option against the more established brands in the sector, provided you accept the lack of standard WiFi and a brand reputation still relatively new to this segment.

Comparison
At around €350 to €900 depending on the retailer, the Hisense CA35YR01G is regularly compared to the Midea Xtreme Save Pro 12000 BTU, another accessible fixed air conditioner of the same power, through searches like "Hisense vs Midea air conditioner 12000 BTU". Here is how the two compare, based on the public specifications of both manufacturers.
| Criterion | Hisense CA35YR01G | Midea Xtreme Save Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling capacity | 3.4 kW (12000 BTU/h), SEER 6.1 | 3.5 kW (12000 BTU/h), SEER 8.5 |
| Cooling energy class | A++ | A+++ |
| Indoor noise level (minimum) | 22 dB(A) | 22 dB(A) |
| Outdoor noise level | 54 dB(A) | 55 dB(A) |
In summary, the Midea Xtreme Save Pro shows markedly higher energy efficiency on paper (SEER 8.5 versus 6.1), a genuine argument for the electricity bill over the long run. The Hisense CA35YR01G remains comparable in noise level, though, with a generally more accessible price positioning.
Our tester's verdict: Christophe Delpuech
Installed for a homeowner who wanted a reliable fixed air conditioner without paying the going rate of the more established brands in the sector. Value for money remains the real selling point of this Hisense: in a 20 m² bedroom, the temperature dropped from 27°C to 21°C in a good twenty minutes, with a measured noise level of around 24 to 26 dB(A) in night mode, consistent with the 22 dB(A) minimum claimed by the manufacturer. One small gripe noted on site: the remote does show an automatic side-to-side swing button, but the indoor unit actually only has fixed louvres that must be angled by hand, an inconsistency that caught my client off guard the first time round. Another point to anticipate is the lack of built-in WiFi as standard: contrary to what the range's "Easy Smart" name might suggest, an optional module has to be added for remote control. Aside from these two reservations, the Inverter regulation clearly does its job, with a stable temperature and little variation once the set point is reached.
Frequently asked questions: Hisense CA35YR01G Split Inverter Air Conditioner
