Product Snapshot

Overview

The Hisense 10000-BTU Window AC is an entry-level air conditioner that was first announced in mid-2022. Designed for window installation, this AC unit can serve an area of up to 450 sq ft, which is relatively small compared to the kind of spaces that the best air conditioners on the market can serve. The Hisense AC also has a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio of 5, and it is also Energy Star Rated. Check out our roundup of the best inverter air conditioners if you want more power-efficient alternatives. It can operate either as a fan, a cooler, or a dehumidifier. However, if you’re considering a solution that keeps the room temp lower, you might want to go through our chiller vs air conditioner comparison for better insight.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Hisense 10000-BTU air conditioner is a popular pick for its low noise output and its use of inverter technology for higher power efficiency. It effectively cools rooms of up to 450 sq ft and lets you know how much power it has consumed through energy reporting. Operation is also easy, given the smart touch controls on its front panel and the inclusion of an 11-button remote. Additionally, the AC unit supports voice control through Google Assistant or Alexa, and it can be paired with the ConnectLife mobile app for even easier management. It also ships with a washable filter that is easy to remove and clean.

At its lowest setting, the AC unit has a sound output of 55 dB, which places it among the top third quietest ACs on our certified tested list. Unfortunately, it doesn’t feature IFTTT or HomeKit support for integration into Apple’s smart home setup.

Reason to Buy

Cooling Capacity
- This 10,000 BTU Hisense AC unit has an Airflow rating of 170 CFM at its highest and 218 CFM at its lowest, which allows it to cool down spaces of up to 450 sq ft efficiently while monitoring how much energy it consumes.
- For rooms that are up to 550 sq ft, you might want to go through our Midea U-shaped MAW12V1QWT review.
Low noise level
- The Hisense AC has a noise output of only 55 dB, which makes it one of the quietest ACs on our certified, tested list. A quieter alternative to consider would be the Windmill AC 8000, which we’ve covered in our Windmill AC 8000 review.
Smart features/Easy operation
- This Hisense AC can be operated through the touch-sensitive controls on its smart panel or through its 11-button remote.
- Owners can also download the ConnectLife mobile app and make adjustments after pairing or linking it to their smart home for it to accept voice commands through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

Reason to Avoid

No IFTTT or Apple Homekit support
- This Hisense AC unit cannot be integrated into the Apple SmartHome system.

Another portable alternative designed for personal use is the Evapolar evaSMART, which costs around the same price as these two.
