Which Model Is Right for You?

Choose PAC EM82K.1 if…

  • You have a smaller room (under 25–27 m²*)
  • Budget is a primary concern
  • Portability and compact size are important
  • Strong dehumidification is a priority (43 L/24h)

Choose PAC EM93 if…

  • You need slightly more cooling power for a mid-size room
  • Maximum dehumidification is a priority (50 L/24h — best in range)

Choose PAC EX100 Silent if…

  • You have a larger room (up to 36 m²*)

  • You want the most energy-efficient unit (A++ rated)
  • Real Feel technology or a premium specification is important to you
