Product ok but service from your contractor poor
Contractor put off installation dates, I queried why their quote so high and later advised $1,000 paid to install would come off Installation costs. Later contractor pulled out of installation. And The Good guys still have my $1,000.

Dodgy sales tactics
It works. As one might expect of a new product. This 'salesman' yabbered on in some version of 'English' and upsold me to to something I did not want but thought was 'free'. I got caught previously by GG Tuggeranong. Never again.

Powerful, Quiet, and Clean Air in One – A Fantastic All-Round System
The Panasonic C7.1kW / H8.0kW Reverse Cycle Split System has been outstanding for both heating and cooling. It gets the room to the right temperature quickly and runs impressively quiet, even on higher fan settings. What really sets it apart is the built-in air purifier—air feels noticeably cleaner, and it’s great for allergies and general indoor air quality. The controls are intuitive, the energy efficiency is excellent, and the overall build quality feels premium. A reliable, powerful, and healthy choice for any home.

At a glance
This Panasonic reverse cycle split system is a strong fit for large living areas and open-plan homes needing both climate control and cleaner air. It stands out for its 7.1kW cooling, 8.0kW heating, Nanoe-X air purification and built-in Wi-Fi. It suits households with dust sensitivity or odour concerns. A fair limitation is that its average-climate heating energy rating is modest compared with more efficient premium models.

- Open-Plan Heating
- Everyday Home Comfort
- Air Quality Support
- App-Based Remote Control
Where it works best

Who it’s for
- Families

Things to consider
Its heating efficiency is more modest in average and cold climates than some premium split systems, so buyers focused on top-tier winter efficiency may want to compare higher-rated alternatives.
Room size suitability
Large rooms and open-plan areas, approximately 45 to 65 square metres
Energy efficiency score
6/10 - moderate efficiency overall, with 3.5-star cooling in average climate and 2.5-star heating in average climate
Noise level vs category average
5/10 - indoor noise of 65dB and outdoor noise of 68dB are serviceable for this size class, but not especially quiet
Smart home integration score
7/10 - built-in Wi-Fi gives convenient remote app control, though no broader voice assistant integration is specified
Allergy friendliness
High - built-in Nanoe-X air purification and asthma and allergy friendly positioning make it well suited to households sensitive to dust and odours
Key benefits
- 7.1kW Cooling Capacity: Delivers strong cooling performance for large rooms and open-plan areas between 45 and 65 square metres.
- 8.0kW Heating Capacity: Provides solid heating output for larger living spaces during cooler weather.
- Nanoe-X Air Purification: Helps deodorise the air and inhibit airborne pollutants, making day-to-day living more comfortable in homes affected by odours, dust sensitivity or allergies.
- Built-In Wi-Fi: Lets you control the system from a compatible phone app so you can pre-cool or pre-heat before getting home.
- Inverter Compressor: Adjusts compressor speed to maintain steadier temperatures with fewer comfort swings in larger spaces.
- 24-Hour Timer: Makes it easy to schedule operation around sleep, work and daily household routines.
- Maximum Airflow 1267m3/hr: Supports effective air distribution across bigger rooms and open-plan layouts.
- 3.5-Star Cooling Energy Rating: Offers moderate cooling efficiency in average climate conditions, balancing performance with running costs.
Q: Can this split system heat and cool more than one room?
A: No. Panasonic CS/CU-Z71AKR is a single split system designed to condition one large zone, such as an open-plan living area. It can reach adjoining spaces if air moves freely, but it is not a multi-room ducted replacement.
Q: Is the built-in air purifier enough to replace a separate purifier?
A: Not usually. Panasonic CS/CU-Z71AKR includes Nanoe-X air purification to deodorise the air and inhibit airborne pollutants while the unit runs, but it is still an air conditioner first, not a dedicated portable purifier for room-to-room use.
Q: How noisy is this Panasonic split system indoors and outdoors?
A: Panasonic CS/CU-Z71AKR is listed at 65dB indoors and 68dB outdoors. That points to noticeable operating noise rather than an ultra-quiet result, so it suits busy living areas better than spaces where very low background noise is the priority.
Q: Is this Panasonic split system efficient for winter heating?
A: Panasonic CS/CU-Z71AKR has a 2.5 star heating rating in average climate. That is usable for a large reverse cycle split system, but buyers focused on lower winter running costs may prefer other large split systems with a higher heating rating.
Q: Does this model qualify for the Victorian heating and cooling upgrade?
A: No. Panasonic CS/CU-Z71AKR is not listed as a Victorian Home Heating and Cooling Upgrade product. If rebate eligibility is a key filter, this model is better treated as a standard purchase rather than a rebate-led option.
Q: What comes in the box with the Panasonic CS/CU-Z71AKR?
A: Panasonic CS/CU-Z71AKR includes a remote control in the box. Installation hardware and site-specific materials are not listed as user-fit items, because this air conditioner must be installed by authorised service personnel.
Q: Does it have a motion sensor to adjust output automatically?
A: No. Panasonic CS/CU-Z71AKR does not include a human sensor. Temperature control comes from the inverter compressor, timer and app control instead, so it will not reduce output based on detecting whether someone is in the room.
