    installation costs

    Product is good and cools and heats well. The issue I have is the cost of installation was actually ended up being as much as the unit., despite advertised installation price back-to-back $986 we had to pay additional $650 this was almost more than what we paid for the unit when it was on sale. So do yourself a favour do not book installation via good guys its a scam.

At a glance

This 5.1kW reverse cycle split system suits households wanting reliable year-round comfort, cleaner air and smart control without stepping into premium-priced territory. Standout strengths include Hi-Nano air purification, app and voice control, quiet operation and durable outdoor design for Australian conditions. One limitation is that it focuses on core comfort and air-care features rather than advanced premium extras like multi-room zoning.

  • Smart Home Convenience
  • Year-Round Comfort

Where it works best

  • Apartment Dwellers
  • Homeowners

Best suited to medium living spaces and shared rooms.

Energy efficiency score

8/10 - positioned as top-ranked for energy efficiency within the series, making it a strong choice for regular household use.

Noise level vs category average

Key benefits

  • Hi-Nano Pro: Helps reduce allergens, mould, bacteria and dust in the air for a fresher indoor environment.
  • Self-Cleaning Technology: Keeps the indoor unit more hygienic inside and helps reduce build-up over time.
  • Reverse Cycle Operation: Provides both cooling and heating for year-round indoor comfort.
  • Follow/Avoid Mode: Adjusts airflow based on where people are in the room for more personalised comfort.
  • App & Voice Control: Lets you manage temperature and settings more conveniently at home or away.
  • Smart Airflow: Helps distribute conditioned air more evenly across the room for consistent comfort.

  • Corrosion-Resistant Outdoor Design: Built to better handle harsh Australian conditions including coastal air and summer weather.

Q: What size room is the Hisense HAWU18KR best suited to?

A: This 5.1kW cooling and 5.8kW heating split system is typically suited to a medium living area, roughly around 25 to 40 square metres, depending on ceiling height, insulation and sun exposure. Larger open-plan spaces may need more capacity.

Q: Does the Hisense HAWU18KR support app and voice control straight away?

A: Yes, this model includes Wi-Fi-based app control and voice control compatibility, so you can adjust settings without being at the unit. A stable home internet connection and a compatible voice assistant setup are needed for remote and voice functions.

Q: Is the air purification on this model useful for homes with dust or allergy concerns?

A: Yes, the HAWU18KR includes Hi-Nano purification and self-cleaning technology to help reduce airborne dust, allergens, mould and bacteria inside the system. It improves day-to-day air quality, but it is not a replacement for ventilation or a medical-grade purifier.

Q: What does Follow or Avoid Mode do on the Hisense Air Q Series?

A: Follow or Avoid Mode changes airflow based on where you are in the room, directing air toward you for quicker comfort or away from you for a gentler feel. It is useful if direct cold airflow feels harsh, especially in lounge rooms or bedrooms.

Q: Is the Hisense HAWU18KR designed for tough Australian outdoor conditions?

A: Yes, this model is built with a corrosion-resistant and pest-protected outdoor unit for Australian conditions such as coastal air, summer storms and high temperatures. That added protection is useful where standard outdoor units can wear faster over time.

Q: Is this model as efficient in heating as it is in cooling?

A: No, its published energy ratings show stronger efficiency in cooling than heating, with 5 stars for cooling and 3 stars for heating. That means it can be an efficient year-round option, but winter running costs may be higher than summer cooling costs.
