Daikin Stylish air conditioning: sizes, colours and who it suits
Daikin Stylish is a slim wall-mounted air conditioner that heats as well as cools. It comes in eight finishes, from plain white, silver and black to wood, leather and fabric styles. In the UK it comes in cooling sizes from 2.0 kW to 5.0 kW, plus a small size made only for multi-room systems, and runs as quietly as 19 dB(A) on its quietest setting. It suits people who want a unit that looks good on the wall as well as one that performs, especially in bedrooms, living rooms and home offices.
What is the Daikin Stylish?
The Stylish is a split system. That means two parts: an indoor unit fixed high on the wall, and an outdoor unit outside, joined by two thin copper pipes and a cable. It is an air-to-air heat pump, so the same unit warms the room in winter and cools it in summer.

Daikin Stylish sizes available in the UK
The size is given in kilowatts (kW), which is how much heat the unit can move into or out of a room. Each size heats a little more strongly than it cools. Daikin UK's rated figures are:
Colours and finishes
This is where the Stylish stands apart from most wall units. Daikin UK lists eight designs: three plain colours and five special-effect front panels styled to look like a natural material.
The finish changes the look, not the performance. The special-effect models have the same sizes, outputs and efficiency figures as the plain ones.
How quiet and how efficient it is
Noise is measured in dB(A), a scale that reflects how loud a sound seems to the human ear. For running costs, SEER shows how efficiently it cools over a season and SCOP how efficiently it heats. The higher the number, the less electricity it uses.
A SCOP of 5.15 means that, across a heating season, it gives out around five units of heat for every unit of electricity it uses. The 4.2 kW size goes down to 21 dB(A) and the 5.0 kW size to 24 dB(A), and both are rated A++. Daikin says the Stylish is Quiet Mark certified, an independent award for quiet products. It uses R-32 refrigerant, the gas that carries heat between the indoor and outdoor units.
Features worth knowing about
Wi-Fi built in
Control it from your phone with the Daikin Onecta app, set schedules, check energy use, or use voice control through Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
No cold draught
The Coanda effect sends warm air downwards when heating, and runs cool air along the ceiling when cooling.
Flash Streamer and filters
Daikin says Flash Streamer reduces allergens and odours, alongside a titanium apatite filter for smells, a silver allergen removal filter and a dust filter.
Works on multi-split
Up to five indoor units can run from one outdoor unit, so several bedrooms can be done without a row of outdoor units on the wall.
Who the Daikin Stylish suits, and who it doesn't
A great fit if
- The unit will be on show and you care how it looks
- Living rooms, open kitchens and bedrooms with wood or dark décor
- Bedrooms and nurseries, thanks to the 19 dB(A) quiet setting
- A small office, consulting room or surgery where the look of the room matters to clients
Think again if
- One room needs more than 5.0 kW of cooling, such as a very large open-plan space
- Budget comes first: the Daikin Comfora does the same job in plain white for less
- You would rather not see a unit on the wall at all: talk to us about other options at your survey
