In detail: Hisense Halo+, connected split air conditioner 9000 BTU
The Hisense Halo+ 9000 BTU is aimed at anyone wanting to switch to fixed air conditioning without a large outlay on the unit itself. This split air conditioner rated at 2.6 kW (9,000 BTU/h), Class A++ with a SEER of 14, targets bedrooms and small offices, with a focus on indoor air quality and an entry-level price within our fixed air conditioner selection.
The indoor unit features an antibacterial evaporator, an active carbon filter and a self-cleaning function, a combination aimed at limiting mould and bacteria build-up inside the unit, a maintenance aspect sometimes overlooked on the market's more budget-friendly models. Control is via WiFi and an LED display, for simple adjustment of temperature and operating modes.
The advertised noise level of 19 dB(A) on the quietest setting, if confirmed over extended use, would place the unit among the quietest in its category, a strong argument for bedroom use. R32 refrigerant, now standard across the market for its lower environmental impact, also equips this model.
Made up of an indoor and an outdoor unit connected by a refrigerant line, like any fixed split air conditioner, installation requires a certified professional to handle the refrigerant gas. This cost, to add to the unit's price, remains proportionally more contained given the particularly accessible purchase price of this Halo+ 9000 BTU.

Comparison
Around £380 to £550, the Hisense Halo+ 9000 BTU regularly comes up against the Daikin ATXC35E, another entry-level connected fixed air conditioner, in searches like "Hisense vs Daikin air conditioner". Here is how the two compare, based on the public specifications of both manufacturers.
| Criterion | Hisense Halo+ 9000 BTU | Daikin ATXC35E |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling capacity | 2.6 kW (9,000 BTU/h) | 3.5 kW (12,000 BTU/h) |
| Advertised noise level | 19 dB(A) | About 46 dB(A) |
| Filtration | Antibacterial evaporator, carbon filter | Electrostatic filter |
| Price observed | ≈£379 | ≈£549 |
In short, the Hisense Halo+ lists a particularly low noise level for a lower price, ideal for a small room where quiet matters most. The Daikin ATXC35E offers higher cooling power and the Japanese brand's reliability reputation, for a somewhat higher investment.
Our tester's verdict: Christophe Delpuech
Fitted at a client's home on a tight budget, wanting their first fixed air conditioner without breaking the bank. Installation went smoothly, and my client had WiFi and the LED display figured out within minutes on their own. In their 15 m² bedroom, the temperature dropped from 28 to 21°C in about fifteen minutes. The advertised 19 dB(A) noise level on the quietest setting isn't something I can verify to the decibel without a meter, but the unit really is very discreet once the temperature settles, almost inaudible at night with the door shut. The antibacterial evaporator and self-cleaning function are a genuine plus at this price, rarely seen on entry-level units. My one gripe: the app is occasionally sluggish, with a few seconds' lag between a command and the unit responding, a minor flaw but one that showed up across several test runs.
Frequently asked questions: Hisense Halo+, connected split air conditioner 9000 BTU
That is the figure advertised by the manufacturer on the quietest setting. With still limited real-world feedback available so far, it is worth staying cautious about this exact figure until more reviews confirm it.
It automatically dries the heat exchanger after use to limit mould and bacteria build-up, combined with an antibacterial evaporator and active carbon filter for air quality.
At 9,000 BTU (2.6 kW), it suits a standard-sized bedroom or small office, and is less suited to a large living room where higher power would be preferable.
No, like any fixed split air conditioner, installation by a certified refrigeration engineer is mandatory for handling the refrigerant gas and is not included in the unit's price.
