The Mirage Ventus X is a ductless mini split system designed for efficient cooling and heating of spaces up to 1,500 square feet. Reviewers noted its 19 SEER rating and quiet operation, with indoor unit noise levels ranging from 35 to 51 dB. The system includes a 16 ft install kit with copper line set and remote control. While it offers good value for its price point, the outdoor unit operates at 58 dB, which may be noticeable in quiet environments. This unit is ideal for medium-sized rooms or areas where ductwork installation is impractical, but those seeking larger coverage or quieter operation may want to consider alternatives.

Quilt Heat Pump
Ranked #2 in Best Mini Split Air Conditioners
Quilt Heat Pump
$11,000as of Jul 7

The Quilt heat pump presents a stylish alternative to traditional ductless mini-splits, featuring a decorative front cover that can be painted or stained to match interior design. Reviewers praised its sleek appearance, which avoids the typical 'wall wart' look of conventional units. The device offers intuitive controls via dial thermostat and smartphone app, with claims of superior efficiency and comfort. However, its premium pricing and limited availability make it less accessible for budget-conscious consumers. Industry professionals and reviewers note it addresses longstanding issues with mini-split aesthetics and installation, though it remains a niche offering 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.
