The Swedish consumer, Electrolux, has been familiar to Russian consumers for a long time and generally evokes positive emotions in it. The manufacturer offers modern solutions to everyday problems at a high level in terms of ergonomics and functionality. Although experts note that the products of this brand fall into the list of leaders in terms of reliability and technological excellence with a stretch, in some segments the consumer notes fairly high-quality and inexpensive products from Electrolux. Air conditioners belong to this category, combining both advanced technological developments and a relatively affordable price for a wide mass of consumers. The company seeks to maximally cover the niche of HVAC equipment, so in the model line you can find decent options for use in private needs, and good semi-professional equipment.
General information about Electrolux air conditioners
Under the Electrolux brand, various models for air conditioning are entering the market . To date, the range contains mobile devices, a wide selection of various household models, wall split systems, as well as VRF equipment and modifications with DC-inverter control of compressor settings. In each category there are several options for models, which allows you to carefully and thoughtfully approach the choice of equipment "Electrolux". Air conditioners in all families of the brand have an original design and a wide range of options. In recent years, Swedish engineers have also paid attention to energy saving technologies. It is known that climate systems are among the most demanding household equipment in terms of electricity consumption, so many users appreciate the cost reduction.
Inverter models
This line is distinguished by the fact that the devices are equipped with Super DC Inverter technology. In particular, the Electrolux Eacs Orlando conditioner belongs to such equipment. This is an energy-efficient model that consumes 6 times less resources than it produces cold. Moreover, in standby mode, the technology allows you to spend no more than 1 Watt. Unlike many competitive analogues, such air conditioners are able to work effectively in heating mode even in conditions when the outdoor temperature reaches -15 ° C.
In essence, the devices function in the same way as a heat pump, spending no more than 200 watts of energy per kilowatt of heat. Compared to traditional heaters, this is 5 times less. But there is one more positive quality, which invertors in the Orlando series possess. This is almost a record noise reduction, ensuring the operation of the equipment with a background of no more than 22 dB. They complement the positive qualities and cleaning technologies, which not only provide a barrier to dirt and dust particles, but also prevent the penetration of bacteria.
Mobile air conditioners
The main feature of such air conditioners is their compact size, which expands the possibilities of installing equipment. In addition, the user can move such systems, for example, in trains to the country during the rest period. Despite its modest size, the mobile air conditioner "Electrolux" is quite functional and productive. It supports modes of drainage, cooling and ventilation with the ability to adjust air flow. In terms of ergonomics, such modifications are considered the most practical and convenient. This is confirmed by the presence of an intelligent system, as well as an LED display, which facilitates control.
Those who are attracted by such a concept should offer the Air Gate, Wave and Dio series. This equipment is made according to European standards. That is, the operation of the devices is absolutely safe in terms of ecology. In addition, the mobile air conditioner "Electrolux" is equipped with an automated condensate removal system, and it uses R410A freon, which is harmless to the ozone layer, as a refrigerant.
Multi Component Split Systems
In this case, we are talking about the modern concept of multi-air conditioners. The peculiarity of such systems is that the kit consists of one external unit, which is capable of servicing several indoor units at once. Thus, the favorable appearance of the facade is maintained and it becomes possible to provide the necessary microclimate to several rooms. In terms of performance indicators, the characteristics correspond to the capabilities that ordinary Electrolux models possess. Air conditioners can guarantee stable operation from -15 and almost up to +50 ° C. At the same time, the ability to connect 5 independent blocks does not limit functionality at all. In particular, each component has 3 basic operating modes, a turbo program, a hot start system, and also allows automatic defrosting and auto-cleaning.
Column Type Models
An original approach to the installation of such equipment is due to the purpose and increased performance requirements. Typically, column models are used to service hotels, halls, studios, salons, halls and other large-area premises. Most of the models of this type are performed in a utilitarian and boring style with a typical set of functions. However, the floor Electrolux air conditioner stands out from the overall range with its unique Hi-Tech design and technical specifications. It is enough to mention the laying route, the length of which is 50 m.
But the main advantage of Swedish-made column models is in power and a wide range of operating temperatures. In particular, the equipment is capable of forming a microclimate ranging from -7 and up to +43 ° C. And these are not all the advantages that the floor air conditioner "Electrolux" is endowed with. The instruction, for example, also allows the possibility of increasing the intensity of the heating element, which is especially valuable in the winter. True, an increase in power will also affect energy consumption.
Classic wall systems
The company "Electrolux" shows by example that in the familiar design, you can implement many useful functions. The range of wall-mounted models, in particular, is equipped with heat exchangers with anti-corrosion treatment using Blue Fin technology. In practice, this means an increase in heat transfer function by 4-5 times. And this is not to mention the extension of the operational life of the equipment. However, high performance is a characteristic that distinguishes the Electrolux floor-standing air conditioner, and in the case of wall-mounted appliances, unique technological additions should be taken into account. One of them is the self-diagnosis mode. Devices automatically track the occurrence of malfunctions, regularly performing diagnostics of software and hardware. All signals about the problems that have arisen are displayed on the indicator lights of the operating panel.
Maintenance Nuances
In order to maintain optimum performance, equipment must be serviced. Regular events include cleaning the filters and replacing freon. At the same time, it is recommended to flush all surfaces that, in one way or another, come in contact with air currents. Also, in the process of operation, the Electrolux air conditioner should be diagnosed. System errors that the system displays will help identify problems. For example, a series of errors E1-9 indicates that there are problems in the blocks. Perhaps the connection between them is broken, work is carried out with unsatisfactory pressure indicators, etc. Codes F0-7 in most cases indicate problems in the temperature sensor that is installed at the inlet of the air conditioner heat exchanger.
Positive reviews about air conditioners
Among the advantages of this technique that users themselves note, a variety of options, ergonomics and stylish design can be highlighted. The company strives to introduce new technologies as far as possible, which, of course, provokes positive feedback from those who focus on Electrolux air conditioners. Reviews, in particular, note the benefits of automatic defrosting systems, temperature control and the possibility of self-diagnosis. The design gets high marks. Developers put a lot of effort into creating convenient forms of construction, which, incidentally, is often the decisive argument in choosing a particular model.
Negative reviews
Criticism is mainly focused on equipment performance. For example, there are observations that air conditioners simply can’t cope with the production of cold in hot weather. Even if the declared temperature mode is displayed, the device may not reach it during operation. Reliability indicators also disappoint air conditioners "Electrolux". Reviews quite often pay attention to defects in the assembly and the unsatisfactory quality of components. For example, there are comments on the power supply, which burns out in the first months of operation of the equipment.
Conclusion
Products of the Swedish brand do not belong to the best offers of the market if they are evaluated according to the criteria of quality and manufacturability. But it is worth emphasizing the high functionality, ease of management and aesthetics of the equipment, which produces "Electrolux". The air conditioners of this manufacturer organically fit both in the modern interiors of apartments and in the luxurious halls of hotels. As a budget solution, such equipment is quite suitable. But for intensive operation at the maximum level of endurance power, the Swedish models will not be enough. Unfortunately, the manufacturer uses inexpensive components in the basis of air conditioners. This is beneficial for the consumer in terms of saving finances, but from the point of view of equipment durability, this approach is not the best.
