Scarlett air conditioners review: error codes, comparison of popular models

Most companies specialize in the production of a range of home appliances. One of the most famous is the Scarlett company. Small and medium-sized household appliances for various purposes are produced under this brand. The brand is the property of the joint corporation "Arima Holding Corp." (Russia - Great Britain). All developments for the brand were carried out in Russia, and it is registered in the UK. All the main production is located in China, including the manufacture of spare parts and components, as well as the assembly of finished products.

Founded in 1996, "Arima Holding Corp." planned to develop the brand as an Anglo-Russian one. But given the circumstances and the wrong strategy for promoting goods, the placement of production facilities, both in the Russian Federation and in England, was canceled. Today, all stages of Scarlett's production are located in China, including the process of technical development and renewal of the product range. The assortment of goods is diverse and is divided into 4 main groups:

  1. The first of the Scarlett ranges to come with a standard feature set.
  2. Launched in 2007 by SilverLine. Has absorbed all the trends and trends of our time. The design is dominated by clear lines, and the basis is taken as a minimalist "hi-tech".
  3. Premium class equipment from the INDIGO collection (launched in 2008).
  4. The latest developments combined in an updated appearance and the perfection of the technologies used are the WhiteEdition line of technology, which has appeared on the market since 2013.

Arima Holding Corporaitoin retained only the function of adjusting the company's corporate policy and control measures at the final stage of production. The complete transfer of production to outsourcing to factories in China made it possible to significantly reduce costs and ensure the supply of economy-class technical devices to Russia. The factories producing products under the Scarlett brand are not the property of the joint corporation and are executors for the production of serial batches of goods. The process is controlled by the AHC head office located in Hong Kong.

The main lines of climatic technology

Among the products manufactured under the trademark already known to the Russian buyer, there are several lines of air conditioners. Installation of climatic equipment within residential premises and offices will allow you to recreate a comfortable microclimate and improve the living conditions within them. The following categories of air conditioning systems are presented to the choice of buyers:

  1. Household conditioners of the "On / Off" series.
  2. Inverter split systems.
  3. Mobile devices.

All lines of TM "Scarlett" have a standard set of functions: cooling, heating and dehumidification. The choice of a specific device model depends on the area and other features of the premises. The buyers were particularly interested in the Comfort line of household air conditioners, which combined all types of climatic equipment for residential and office premises.

Series of air conditioners "On / Off"

The air conditioner is installed on any free wall in the room. The models belong to the class of non-inverter air conditioners, united in the "Comfort" series and differ in the following characteristics:

  • compressor and electronics of the device from "Hyundai";
  • galvanic treatment of the outer surface of the heat exchanger guarantees long-term protection against corrosion damage;
  • operation of the air conditioner at elevated external temperatures due to, thanks to a two-stage refrigerant boiling system (freon R 410A).

The presence of a starting capacitor of increased capacity allows the compressor to turn on even at a voltage of 180V. Other features of "Comfort" include 3 levels of air flow rate and the ability to operate the device in the "turbo" mode.

Inverter multisplit

This split series from the TM "Scarlett" company, based on the manufacturer's description, quite effectively cools or heats the air in rooms up to 25 m2. The designation "inverter" refers to the use of technology that provides smooth power control. Inverter multisplit features functional features such as:

  • built-in anion generator;
  • the ability to adjust the position of the louver grill;
  • antifreeze system that protects ice formations;
  • self-diagnosis of device breakdowns.

In addition, in order for the room to be always cozy and as comfortable as possible, it is enough to use the transfer of the air conditioner to auto-mode. This will allow the system to independently maintain the set temperature parameters without additional user settings. You can buy an inverter multisplit from TM "Scarlett" at a significantly low price compared to similar devices from other manufacturers.

To get rid of harmful viruses, bacteria and microorganisms, simply turn on the installed split system. Plasma filters built into the unit instantly generate a high voltage electromagnetic field. Passing through the filter, the air flow is not only thoroughly cleaned, but also enriched with “-” ions. Almost 95% of all foreign particles (smoke, dust, microorganisms) are retained by the filter material. The plasma filtration method allows you to get rid of annoying insects in the room, stagnant specific odors and prevent the formation of stains from soot and cigarette smoke on surfaces.

Mobile air conditioners

If there is no desire or opportunity to mount a wall-mounted split system, it is enough just to put a portable (mobile) air conditioner in the room. It is enough just to connect the candy bar to the network to create optimal conditions for work and living. Such portable air conditioners:

  • do not require fastening, installation and additional fixation means;
  • move freely around the entire perimeter of the premises;
  • have all the basic functions of modern household "splits", including dehumidification of indoor climate with excessive humidity.

Distribute warm and cold air evenly, depending on the set mode. Cope with medium-sized objects - up to 25 - 30 m2. As well as the wall-mounted multisplit, the mobile monoblock is equipped with 3 levels of air supply. For ease of movement, the device has wheels on the outer bottom panel, and convenient handles are provided on the sides of the case. The presence of a timer in the air conditioner determines the exact period of operation, and turn on or off the device automatically. Touch control monoblock allows you to quickly and accurately adjust the optimal mode.

Scarlett air conditioner error codes

Considering that air conditioners are equipped with a self-diagnosis function, timely detection of breakdowns and taking measures to eliminate them, as a rule, will not be difficult. If the self-diagnosis did not bring positive results and the device needs the intervention of a professional service department, then the malfunction that has arisen is quite possible to eliminate by diagnosing the air conditioner. To do this, it is enough to determine the error codes of air conditioners, which will help determine the cause of the failure.

User reviews

Reviews of split-systems "Scarlet" are quite diverse. Buyers' opinions about the purchase often differ, but among the obvious "pluses" are indicated:

  • low price;
  • quite decent performance;
  • almost silent operation in "sleep" mode.

The consumer also noted the laconic design of all the lines of the brand's climate technology. In negative reviews, the disadvantages include:

  • a long period of cooling the room to the desired temperature;
  • uneven heat distribution in heating mode;
  • the need for frequent refueling and cleaning of internal filters.

Any line of brand conditioners is in demand on the Russian market due to its availability and versatility.
