Mirage Ventus X
Ranked #3 in Best Mini Split Air Conditioners
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

Quilt Heat Pump
3 sources2 derived$11,000as of Aug 1

The Quilt heat pump is a better-looking alternative to the standard ductless mini-split, wrapped in a decorative front cover that takes paint or stain to match a room. Reviewers praised the sleek appearance, which sidesteps the 'wall wart' look conventional units carry. Controls run through a dial thermostat and a smartphone app, and the company claims better efficiency and comfort. The premium price and limited availability put it out of reach for budget buyers. Industry professionals and reviewers say it finally answers longstanding complaints about mini-split looks and installation, but it's still a niche product in the HVAC market.

Strengths
  • Sleek, decorative design that blends into home decor like a lighting fixture
  • User-friendly dial-style thermostat and smartphone app for smooth controls
  • Available in matte white or oak veneer finishes with customizable painting/staining options
Watch-outs
  • High price point compared to traditional mini-splits
  • Limited availability in the market

How they stack up

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.

Quilt Heat Pump

The Quilt Heat Pump distinguishes itself with its decorative design and smart software-heavy interface, unlike the more traditional and functional designs of the Senville AURA Series or Mirage Ventus X. While the Quilt offers aesthetic appeal and advanced controls, it comes at a premium price point that the AURA and Ventus X don't match.
