Kelon air conditioners are manufactured by the Chinese company Guangdong Kelon Electrical Holdings Co., Ltd. It is the leading manufacturer of such equipment in the country. Its foundation took place back in the 80s of the last century, today it is a large manufacturer of household appliances in China.
Main product lines
Unfortunately, despite the fact that such a company has a huge weight in its homeland, only one line of such products is distributed in Russia - Kelon wall air conditioners. In order to understand why the manufacturer has won such wide recognition, it is necessary to get to know at least one representative of split systems better, which will allow drawing certain conclusions about the product as a whole.
Kelon AS-18HR4FD2
Kelon air conditioners can not only refresh the surrounding air and make it cooler, but also warm the room. In this mode, the power reaches 5370 W. The only thing that should not be forgotten is that not all temperature ranges allow such a device to be operated in winter, therefore, even with such indicators, you should not rely on it as the main source of heat.
In general, the user will be able to configure the automatic mode. This is a fairly convenient function that will independently determine the ambient temperature, but not in order to simply signal people about it, but to adjust itself. That is, no permanent changes will be required. It turns out that with such a convenient and practical function, the user can completely forget that the equipment once had to be adjusted, especially if it is installed in an apartment.
Additional functions
Most of the installed air conditioners operate in rooms where an emergency shutdown of electrical systems is possible. And, if the user left somewhere on business, but left the device working, then he may not worry that after such an incident the split system will not turn on again. The "Autorestart" function is an automatic start of the device with all the settings that were relevant before.
A heater and warmth in an apartment are always good things. But only not when it is +30 outside the window, but even more in the room. Getting into such a place, you want to open all the doors, windows and wait until at least part of the entire area of the room is ventilated. "Fast cooling" is a function that activates all the resources of the air conditioner and makes it work at maximum.He, of course, will make a little noise, but after 5 minutes any person will already forget about the heat and stuffiness.
The “Soft start” function, opposite in meaning, will also be able to delight people who have bought this device. Its essence is that sudden changes in temperature are detrimental to the immunity of weak people. By activating this mode, the user agrees to smoothly cool the room, and not quickly.
Other characteristics
By the way, control is carried out from the remote control, so it will not be difficult to adjust the air conditioner to the required operating modes. Such a device unambiguously helps to work with a split system if it is located at a great distance from a crowded place.
The device under review also has a function for memorizing settings. This is a fairly convenient thing for those users who constantly, manually, turn on and off the device. When resuming work, you do not have to re-set all the parameters, since they remain in the memory of the split system and there simply cannot be any others. This is also relevant in the event that an emergency shutdown has occurred. As mentioned earlier, the air conditioner will turn on again, but the settings could get lost if this was not foreseen.
