Brand
We track 7 Perfect Aire air conditioner models: 5 window units and 2 through-the-wall units, 8,000 BTU to 25,000 BTU. 6 are in stock at a retailer right now, from $499.99. 1 CPSC air conditioner notice we hold names Perfect Aire: Midea U and U+ Window Air Conditioners (2025, filed by Midea). None of the 7 Perfect Aire models we track that state a model number is named in a notice we hold, which is not a safety certification.
At each standard size where Perfect Aire and another brand both have a model in stock, we check whether Perfect Aire's cheapest model is the cheapest, its best efficiency rating the highest and its quietest verified noise rating the lowest. A price counts as cheaper only by at least $20 and 5%, and only between models installed the same way (a do-it-yourself kit is not priced against an installer-fitted system); anything closer is level. We do not rate reliability: no public data reports repair rates by brand.

Prices are live retailer offers and change often; compare.ac may earn a commission on purchases, at no cost to you. Where one model number is sold as more than one listing, the row shows the cheapest and links the others.
Every notice we hold that names the brand, newest first, whoever filed it, including notices for models no retailer we track sells. A notice covers the model numbers it lists, not every Perfect Aire unit.
