Manual of product CU-RE12PKE
Editorial note
The Panasonic CU-RE12PKE stands out for its high energy efficiency, with a seasonal cooling efficiency ratio (SEER) of 5.6 and a seasonal heating efficiency ratio (SCOP) of 3.4. This significantly reduces energy costs while maintaining optimal thermal comfort, thanks to a maximum cooling capacity of 3900 W and heating of 5100 W. Additionally, its design allows for flexible installation, suitable for different spaces, and the maximum pipe length of 15 m offers great configuration freedom. However, some drawbacks must be considered. The noise level of the outdoor unit, which reaches 66 dB, may be perceived as bothersome, especially in residential environments. The absence of features such as an ionizer may limit indoor air quality, particularly for those sensitive to allergens. Furthermore, the weight of the outdoor unit, which is 26 kg, can complicate its installation and may require the assistance of a professional. Additionally, the annual energy consumption for heating, relatively high (1318 kWh), could lead to high electricity bills, especially in winter. In terms of performance, the device scores excellently, particularly for its usability, robustness, and the quality of its documentation. The user manual, comprehensive and detailed, facilitates installation and use. Despite some limitations, the Panasonic CU-RE12PKE remains an interesting option for those seeking an efficient and high-performing air conditioner.Score details
