The internationally recognised award celebrates products that have achieved the highest levels of design quality.

The MSZ-AP range is a mid-range wall mounted air conditioning system that blends energy efficiency with a modern design. Its benefits include Wi-Fi control utilising the company’s MELCloud app, evenly distributed airflow and a weekly timer for more controlled scheduling.

The Red Dot Award is judged by an international jury of nearly 40 experts, who said that the MSZ-AP units are, “highly user-oriented and well thought out to the detail in both form and implementation.”

These mid-range, compact units are highly energy efficient, utilising Mitsubishi Electric’s low GWP R32 refrigerant. With its modern design, industry leading low noise levels as low as 19dB(A) and an ERP rating of A+++, the MSZ-AP will bring a level of sophistication to any commercial environment. The range is available in 5 sizes from 1.5 to 5kW.
