Good product
We bought two aircon and the one in bedroom works great, very efficient and quiet, the unit in our living room we have concerns, when installed it has noise to turn it on, but noise disappears after ten minutes, and it still have the noise when we turn it on, thinking if it’s because of the installation.

Awesome Product
I have tried this on various temperatures and found the apps energy tracking is pretty much spot on. We are currently using around 9-10 kw a day to run from 2pm to 7am on a timer, keeps the house warm with temperatures of 0-5 overnight.

At a glance
This Panasonic split system is a strong choice for larger living areas or open-plan homes needing solid cooling, heating and air purification in one unit. Its standout strengths are nanoe-X air treatment, Wi-Fi and voice control, and powerful airflow for faster comfort. It suits buyers wanting year-round convenience rather than basic climate control. The main trade-off is that its heating efficiency and noise figures are not as strong as some more premium alternatives.

Things to consider
Compared with more premium split systems, this model’s heating efficiency is more modest at 2.5 stars in average climate, and its listed noise levels are not especially low.
Room size suitability
Up to 55 m2; best suited to large bedrooms, living rooms and open-plan family areas
Energy efficiency score
6/10 - cooling is a solid 3.5 stars across climates, but heating is lower at 2.5 stars in average climate and 2 stars in cold climate
Noise level vs category average
4/10 - listed noise levels of 67 dBA indoors and 69 dBA outdoors suggest it is not positioned as an especially quiet unit
Smart home integration score
8/10 - built-in Wi-Fi plus Google Assistant and Alexa compatibility make it easy to integrate into a connected home
Allergy friendliness
8/10 - nanoe-X air purification, an anti-bacterial filter and an odour-removing function support cleaner-feeling indoor air
Key benefits
- 8.0 kW Cooling Capacity: Delivers strong cooling performance for larger rooms up to 55 m2.
- 9.0 kW Heating Capacity: Provides high-output reverse cycle heating for colder days in bigger living spaces.
- Nanoe-X Air Purification: Helps treat indoor air even when heating or cooling is not running, so air care can continue between peak weather use.
- Wi-Fi Control: Lets you adjust settings remotely from your smartphone for easier day-to-day use.
- Voice Assistant Compatibility: Works with Google Assistant and Alexa for hands-free control using existing smart home devices.
- AEROWINGS Dual Flaps: Directs airflow for faster temperature changes first, then gentler cooling once the room is comfortable.
- 1357 m3/hr Maximum Airflow: Pushes a high volume of air to help condition larger spaces more effectively.
- 3.5 Star Cooling Energy Rating: Offers mid-level cooling efficiency with a 3.5 star rating in average climate.
Q: Can this split system handle a large open-plan living area?
A: Yes. It is sized for spaces up to 55m2, with 8kW cooling and 9kW heating for larger shared zones. It suits open-plan lounge and dining areas best, but whole-house conditioning still depends on layout and how open the space really is.
Q: Does the air purifier work when cooling and heating are off?
A: Yes. Nanoe-X air purification can run even when the heating or cooling function is not operating, so the unit can still treat indoor air between seasons. It does not replace temperature control when the room still needs cooling or heating.
Q: Do I need an extra adaptor for app or voice control?
A: No. This model has built-in Wi-Fi, so smartphone control does not need a separate adaptor. It can also link with existing Google Assistant or Alexa devices for voice commands, which suits homes already using a smart speaker setup.
Q: Is this Panasonic split system cheap to run in winter?
A: Not especially. Panasonic CS/CU-Z80YKR has a 2.5 star heating rating in average climate, which places it in the moderate range rather than the most efficient end. A higher-star reverse cycle split system of similar capacity generally uses less energy.
Q: Will the indoor unit fit on a narrower wall space?
A: It can suit tighter wall space for a high-capacity unit because the indoor section is 104cm wide. Wall width is only part of the decision, though, as pipe routing and clearance around the unit still affect where it can be mounted.
Q: Does it adjust airflow automatically when someone enters the room?
A: No. This model does not include a human sensor, so it will not change operation based on room occupancy. Airflow direction can still be managed through the AEROWINGS dual flap system, but that is separate from presence detection.
Q: Is this model suitable for overnight use in a bedroom?
A: Usually not as a first choice for most bedrooms. It is sized for larger areas, and the indoor noise level is 67dBA, so it makes more sense in a main living zone than in a smaller room where low operating noise matters more overnight.
