Ranked #5 in Best Mini Split Air Conditioners
LG Artcool Deluxe KNSAL
3 sourcesall derived

The LG Artcool Deluxe KNSAL brings a modern look plus horizontal air discharge, which deals with the discomfort common to traditional wall-mounted units. Reviewers noted a human detection sensor that improves energy efficiency by shifting airflow based on who's in the room. It comes in multiple power options but drops some features found in the Premium variant. Buyers who want a sleek, efficient cooler without the premium price will like it, though anyone after advanced occupancy detection should consider the Deluxe model instead.

Strengths
  • — Features horizontal air discharge capability for more comfortable airflow
  • — Includes human detection sensor for energy-saving operation
  • — Compact external unit design with lighter interior unit
Watch-outs
  • — Lacks the human detection sensor found in the Premium model
  • — External unit for 2.5 and 3.5 KW models is heavier than the Premium version

Mirage Ventus X
2 sourcesall derived$879as of Aug 1

The Mirage Ventus X is a ductless mini split built to cool and heat spaces up to 1,500 square feet. Reviewers pointed to its 19 SEER rating and quiet operation, with indoor unit noise between 35 and 51 dB. A 16 ft install kit with copper line set and a remote control come in the box. The value is good for the price, though the outdoor unit runs at 58 dB, which carries in a quiet setting. Medium-sized rooms and spaces where ductwork isn't practical suit it well; buyers who need more coverage or less noise should look at alternatives.

Strengths
  • — 24,000 BTU cooling capacity suitable for spaces up to 1,500 sq ft
  • — 19 SEER energy efficiency rating for cost-effective operation
  • — Quiet operation with indoor unit noise levels between 35-51 dB
Watch-outs
  • — Outdoor unit generates 58 dB of noise
  • — Limited to 1,500 sq ft cooling coverage

How they stack up

LG Artcool Deluxe KNSAL

The LG Artcool Deluxe KNSAL features horizontal air discharge and human detection sensor, advantages not found in the more basic Senville LETO Series. However, unlike the Senville AURA Series which offers WiFi and Alexa compatibility, the LG model lacks smart home integration and is priced higher without matching the AURA's efficiency or compressor quality.

Mirage Ventus X

The Mirage Ventus X provides a 24,000 BTU capacity suitable for up to 1,500 sq ft, exceeding the 12,000 BTU capacity of the Della Vario Series. However, unlike the Della Vario's smart home integration, the Ventus X lacks WiFi connectivity and is louder outdoors at 58 dB compared to the Della's quieter operation.
