Uniel is a trademark of the international industrial holding Universal Electric & Lighting. The beginning of the company's work is considered to be 1991 At the initial stage, the company's products were lighting equipment, mainly various light sources (fluorescent, LED lamps, etc.). Then the assortment expanded. Announces innovative electrical solutions in the field of energy-saving technologies for both industrial and personal use. For the entourage, the modern trend is not bypassed - the statement of a simple principle-slogan of the company: "Technological means affordable."
In fact, a relatively small line of various electrical equipment is presented. The line contains simple products (electrical tapes, connectors, etc.) and quite high-tech (smart home elements, voltage stabilizers, uninterruptible power supplies, etc.). On the Internet, you can find a video review of the company's products.
It is stated that the goods are manufactured in their own factories and on order in factories of other firms under the control of the company. Production facilities are located in China, Slovakia, Russia. What exactly and where is produced is not specified.
Including in the uniel product line there is a position and climatic equipment. It is represented insignificantly: portable heat guns, control systems for underfloor heating and uniel floor air conditioner.
Main manufactured air conditioning systems
The mobile air conditioning equipment is manufactured in factories in China. The company does not have design capacities for such developments. Uniel mobile air conditioner is a tracing paper from the Chinese design, sold under the brand of the company. Nevertheless, the quality of air conditioners is not inferior to the quality of other products of the manufacturer. There is no wide variation in quality in products. This suggests that air conditioners are assembled at one plant from the components of one manufacturer. When buying, you can be sure that the quality of goods from different batches will not differ.
Mobile portable air conditioners
The two models differ in power and, accordingly, the area that they are able to serve - by 36 and 45 square meters under standard conditions (ceiling height, no additional heat sources, etc.).
There are no additional cleaning filters. There is only one operating mode. The kit includes a remote control for the air conditioner. From it, you can set the cooling temperature (in fact, the power with which to cool), turn on or off the air conditioner, set a timer.
The models are made in white. The design is classic without any claims for special originality, which allows the equipment to fit into any interior.
The equipment is guaranteed for 1 year.

You can buy air conditioners at hardware stores. There are no specialized centers for the HVAC equipment of this company. Repairs are also carried out on a general basis in ordinary service centers.
Instructions for Uniel control panel and air conditioners
The set of equipment includes instructions for air conditioners. The devices do not have sophisticated automation. Even the temperature maintenance mode is absent. The device adjusts to the cooling capacity and does not control the room temperature.
Installing and configuring such equipment is intuitive and does not require a detailed description. In this regard, the instructions included in the kit are very short.
For efficient operation, it is necessary to divert the flow of warm air to the outside. For this purpose, the kit contains a corrugated branch tube with attachments for connection to the device and external fastening. Without heat dissipation to the outside, room cooling is not ensured.
During operation, a lot of condensate can form, which will need to be removed in time, despite the self-evaporation mode. It is recommended to pay attention to this feature.
It is possible to control the operation of the air conditioner from the remote control or from the control panel on the unit itself. Several options are possible: on / off, timer setting, setting the outlet temperature and setting the fan speed.
Uniel air conditioner error codes
The equipment is simple. There is no self-diagnosis system. Error codes will not be displayed in the event of any malfunction. The display may show a malfunction without indicating its nature.
The malfunction can be judged by other signs:
- poor cooling;
- unusual noise and crackling;
- water flows;
- does not turn on;
- unpleasant odor;
- turns on, but after a while it turns off spontaneously.
In the event of such symptoms occurring during operation, it is not recommended to independently determine the malfunction and make repairs. Although the equipment is not too complicated, it is necessary to have certain knowledge and skills in order to repair it. It is better to take the device to a service center or invite a specialist.
One of the possible causes of malfunctions may be frozen ice inside the equipment (observed during long-term continuous operation at maximum modes). Before sending the device for repair, it is recommended to turn it off and thaw it for a while (up to several hours). If the performance is not restored, then you should contact the master.
User reviews
Like all mobile systems, it is very noisy. Installation of the air conditioner is quick, but it is associated with the inconvenience of removing the corrugation outside. But this applies to almost all, without exception, portable air conditioning systems. In return, we get advantages - a quick start of work and the ability to quickly transfer it to any place.
In general, the reviews are positive. Users note the ease of use and reasonable price. Lack of complex settings.
Compared to some of his brethren, he is somewhat large. And a branch sleeve of small length. An incomplete description is noted in the attached instructions. Difficulty in repair - not every master takes such equipment for repair.
The display may write incomprehensible characters that are not described in the instructions. This means an error in the operation of the air conditioner, and not an exact indication of the cause of the error.
