Swedish Electrolux appliances have been known to Russian consumers for a long time and generally cause positive emotions. The manufacturer offers modern solutions to household tasks 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 strong stretch, in some segments the consumer notes rather high-quality and inexpensive goods from Electrolux. Air conditioners belong to this category, combining both advanced technological developments and a relatively affordable price for the broad masses of consumers. The company strives to cover the niche of climate equipment as much as possible, so in the model line you can find decent options for private use, as well as good semi-professional equipment.
General information about Electrolux air conditioners
Under the Electrolux brand, a variety of air conditioning models enter the market. To date, the range includes mobile devices, a wide selection of various householdmodels, wall-mounted split systems, as well as VRF equipment and modifications with DC-inverter control of compressor settings. In each category, several options for models are presented, which allows you to carefully and thoughtfully approach the choice of Electrolux equipment. 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 reduction in costs.
Inverter models
This line differs in that the Super DC Inverter technology is implemented in the devices. In particular, such equipment includes the Electrolux Eacs Orlando air conditioner. This is an energy efficient model that consumes 6 times less resources than it produces cold. At the same time, in standby mode, the technology allows you to spend no more than 1 watt. Unlike many competitive analogues, these air conditioners are able to operate efficiently in heating mode even when the outside 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 that the Electrolux inverter air conditioners in the Orlando series have. This is almost a record-breaking noise reduction performance,ensuring the operation of equipment with a background of no more than 22 dB. Complementing the positive qualities and cleaning technologies that not only provide a barrier to dirt and dust particles, but also prevent the penetration of bacteria.
Mobile air conditioners
The main feature of these air conditioners is their compact size, which expands the installation possibilities of equipment. In addition, the user can move such systems, for example, in trains to the country house during the holidays. Despite its modest size, the Electrolux mobile air conditioner is quite functional and productive. It supports dehumidification, cooling and ventilation modes 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 that facilitates management.
For those who are attracted by this concept, the Air Gate, Wave and Dio series should be offered. 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 Electrolux mobile air conditioner is equipped with an automated condensate removal system, and R410A type freon is used as a refrigerant, which is harmless to the ozone layer.
Multi-component split systems
In this case we are talking about the modern concept of multi-air conditioners. The peculiarity of such systems is thatthat the kit consists of one outdoor unit, which is able to serve several indoor units at once. Thus, the favorable appearance of the facade is preserved and it becomes possible to provide the necessary microclimate for several rooms. In terms of performance, the characteristics correspond to the capabilities that conventional Electrolux models also have. Air conditioners can guarantee stable operation in the mode from -15 to almost +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 for automatic defrost and auto cleaning.
Column type models
The 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 areas. For the most part, models of this type are made in a utilitarian and boring style with a typical set of functions. However, the Electrolux floor air conditioner stands out from the general range with its unique Hi-Tech design and technical characteristics. Suffice it 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 generatingmicroclimate ranging from -7 to +43 °C. And these are not all the advantages that the Electrolux floor air conditioner is endowed with. The instruction, for example, also allows the possibility of increasing the intensity of the heating element, which is especially valuable in winter. True, the increase in power will also affect energy consumption.
Classic wall systems
Electrolux demonstrates by its example that many useful functions can be implemented in a familiar design. 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 the heat exchange 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 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 monitor for faults by regularly performing software and hardware diagnostics. All alarms about problems that have arisen are displayed on the light indicators of the operating panel.
Maintenance details
In order to maintain optimum performance, the equipment must be serviced. Regular events include cleaning filters and replacing freon. At the same time, it is recommended to wash all surfaces that, one way or another, come into contact with airstreams. Also, during operation, the Electrolux air conditioner should be diagnosed. Hardware errors that the system displays will help identify malfunctions. 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 being performed with unsatisfactory pressure indicators, etc. Codes F0-7 in most cases mean problems in the temperature sensor, which is installed at the inlet of the air conditioner heat exchanger.
Positive reviews about air conditioners
Among the advantages of this technique, which are noted by the users themselves, are the variety of options, ergonomics and stylish design. The company strives to introduce new technologies as far as possible, which, of course, causes positive feedback from those who focus on Electrolux air conditioners. Reviews, in particular, note the benefits of automatic defrost systems, temperature management and the possibility of self-diagnosis. The design also receives high marks. Developers put a lot of effort into creating convenient design forms, which, by the way, is often the decisive argument in choosing a particular model.
Negative reviews
Criticism is mainly directed at the performance of the hardware. For example, there are observations that air conditioners simply cannot cope with the production of cold in hot weather. Even if the display shows the declared temperature mode, the device may not reach it during operation. indicatorsReliability is also disappointed with Electrolux air conditioners. Reviews quite often pay attention to defects in the assembly and poor quality of components. For example, there are comments regarding the power supply, which burns out in the first months of equipment operation.
Conclusion
The products of the Swedish brand are not among the best offers on the market, if we evaluate them according to the criteria of quality and manufacturability. But it is worth emphasizing the high functionality, ease of operation and aesthetics of the equipment produced by Electrolux. The air conditioners of this manufacturer organically fit into the modern interiors of apartments and luxurious hotel rooms. As a budget solution, such equipment is quite suitable. But for intensive use at the maximum power level, the endurance of the Swedish models will not be enough. Unfortunately, the manufacturer uses inexpensive components as the basis for air conditioners. This is beneficial for the consumer in terms of financial savings, but in terms of equipment durability, this approach is not the best.
