The Swedish engineering company ELECTROLUX has been producing gas and electrical appliances for the home for over a hundred years. One of the directions of its activity is the production of climate control devices - air conditioners, which are in great demand among consumers due to their reasonable price with all the necessary functions and many modern additional options.
The product range includes both household climatic equipment and equipment for public institutions and even industrial facilities.
Types and series of ELECTROLUX air conditioners
Domestic appliances include several types of appliances: traditional split systems, cost-effective inverter splits, multi-split systems, and mobile air conditioners. Each of them is presented in several serial lines.
Of course, household air conditioners are more in demand, so they are the focus of this article.
Split systems of traditional type
Here we mean wall-mounted air conditioners. ELECTROLUX has about nine lines of such devices. All of them were developed using advanced technologies and have undergone significant design and optional changes. As an example, we can take ELECTROLUX air conditioners of the EACS FUSION series, in which the elements of the system responsible for the distribution of air flows have been reconstructed. Now, thanks to the wide-angle vertical louvers and the large opening angle of the flexible sashes, the air flows horizontally in a very wide flow.
The filtration system is equipped with 6 separate filters, including anti-mite, biological antibacterial, catechin (excellent anti-allergenic deodorizer) and with silver ions. All of them kill bacteria and viruses, making the air healthy and clean, but occasionally they need maintenance (cleaning).
In addition to the main modes, the ELECTROLUX EACS FUSION air conditioner is equipped with a microcircuit that carries out fault diagnostics, anti-icing, quick start mode and economical night mode, button lock on the remote control, which is important for families with small children. The positive characteristics include the condensate evaporation system, which does not allow moisture to collect inside the device and indoors.
Due to the special coating of the heat exchanger using the "Blue Fin" technology, the service life is extended by several years, as it prevents the development of corrosion processes.
An important factor is the energy efficiency of class A. This feature will be appreciated by those who have restrictions on energy consumption or are forced to live in a cost-saving mode.
Of course, the price of air conditioners for the ELECTROLUX EACS FUSION series is quite affordable for the middle class of the population. Model EACS - 24 HF / N3 is able to process air in a room up to 62m², while the buyer will spend only about 45-50,000 rubles.
ELECTROLUX air conditioners of the AIR GATE series deserve special attention, which have a stylish external design along with a huge number of additional features. From the name it becomes clear that this line is distinguished by a special approach to air filtration.
To the already listed features and performance characteristics of the previous series are added:
- HEPA and carbon filters - the first has a porous structure and removes all suspended particles up to 99%, the second retains the particles that make up the odor and absorbs harmful chemical gases;
- a cold plasma generator that destroys any harmful organic matter and ionizing air;
- starting at low mains voltage;
- smooth start of the engine in the first minutes;
- protection against voltage surges in the form of switching off the device with unacceptable marks;
- multi-layer lacquer coating of the body against mechanical damage.
Three designer colors are another plus for ELECTROLUX AIR GATE air conditioners among traditional split systems.
When choosing a wall-mounted air conditioner, be sure to pay attention to the power values. Judging by customer reviews, ELECTROLUX AIR GATE air conditioners and other series are very powerful and cool large areas in comparison with those stated in the technical data sheet. If we are talking about a nursery, it is better to take a less efficient device. The area is 22 m², which means that a seven is quite suitable, not a nine.
Floor type mobile split systems
The ELECTROLUX company produces a large range of mobile air conditioners that meet all the needs of a modern person's life. They are in no way inferior to splits, but unlike the latter, such devices can be moved from place to place if necessary and used in any conditions and premises.
The floor air conditioner is a monoblock unit on wheels, placed near the window, through which heat is removed using a corrugated hose. To prevent outside air from entering the room, special plugs are used, which are included in the kit.
Mobile air conditioner ELECTROLUX (floor-standing) has common performance characteristics for all models and series + an additional set of functionality for each line separately. General technical parameters include:
- good performance indicators with low power consumption;
- increased energy efficiency class - A;
- low noise effect;
- safe type of freon R410A;
- compact dimensions;
- no need for special installation.
It is worth noting that R410A freon is used in most splits, inverter splits, multi systems and mobile devices. It has excellent cooling performance, which reduces energy consumption. It does not deplete the ozone layer and therefore does not pose a threat to the environment. It does not tend to ignite, which means that it is safe for humans.
All ELECTROLUX floor-standing air conditioners are capable of operating in the modes of cooling, dehumidification and ventilation of air masses. They distribute the air flow in the room evenly thanks to a three-speed fan and convenient shutters, so drafts are excluded. Condensation is removed automatically via air ducts. Also, ELECTROLUX mobile air conditioners are equipped with an auxiliary drainage pump in case of high humidity inside the device. All series have a round-the-clock timer for programming the on and off times of the device.
The manufacturer produces several serial lines of floor-standing air conditioning systems:
- ECO;
- DIO;
- ECO WAVE;
- AIR GATE.
Mobile air conditioners ELECTROLUX of the EACM series are equipped with a washable air filter, and these are all the listed lines in the list above. Particularly noteworthy is the EACM AIR GATE floor air conditioner due to its filtration system, which includes several types of filters, namely: antibacterial / antiviral HAF, carbon + air ionizer, which produces negatively charged particles (anions) and saturates the air in an enclosed space with them. This creates the feeling of being in the forest, stimulates blood circulation, improves the functioning of the respiratory system and simply invigorates a person.
Another noticeable advantage of ELECTROLUX mobile air conditioners in the EACM AIR GATE series is the reduced noise level. It is significantly smaller than the ECO WAVE or DIO series.
By the way, the EACM DIO series of ELECTROLUX floor-standing air conditioners has the highest productivity per hour among all other lines. And the ECO-series is highly economical due to its high efficiency.
The control panels of all ELECTROLUX EACM series floor-standing air conditioners are similar in their structure and principle of operation - the operating parameters are set simply and are always visible on the display.
The remotes for the electrolux air conditioners of the mobile type EACM can be conveniently placed in a special "slot" on the body of the device, from which they can be easily removed. The controls are intuitive. The active range is up to 6 meters. You can program work in two ways: through the remote control and on the panel itself.
A purely external design evokes only positive emotions, since the models are all compact, the back of the devices is made as well as the front, the plastic is neat and there are no gaps or burrs at the joints.
Any ELECTROLUX cassette air conditioners of the EACM series are a worthy purchase for summer cottages or rental housing. The main plus is that professional installation is not required, and this is a significant saving of the family's money resources, and you can always take it with you when you move.
The filter must be cleaned at least once a month. If the air conditioner is located near the stove, this procedure is performed more often, since in addition to dust, combustion products strongly clog it. It is equally important to completely shut off the air supply from the street when the device is running.
Professional air conditioning
ELECTROLUX has several series of semi-industrial air conditioners for creating a positive microclimate in offices, shops, hotels and other public and warehouse buildings with an area of up to 250 m². These include systems:
- channel;
- cassette;
- columnar;
- floor and ceiling.
In a few words, they can be described as devices with increased performance, quiet operation, "smart" air flow system without creating temperature zones with different indicators. They have many protective algorithms in case of an emergency and a huge number of additional options that correct one mode or another.
With the help of semi-industrial air conditioners ELECTROLUX, climate control systems are organized in rooms of any configuration.
A special niche is occupied by the ELECTROLUX professional air conditioning systems of the SUPER MATCH series with a free arrangement of devices. The main plus is the presence of a DC-inverter and the ability to connect up to 5 internal units of completely different types and different power indicators to one external unit - channel, cassette, floor-ceiling and so on.
This is about 100 different combinations of a multi-split system!
The main advantages of ELECTROLUX SUPER MATCH include:
- variability of operating temperatures;
- high performance;
- protective algorithms of the system;
- automatic self-diagnostics and blocking modes;
- lack of noise;
- quick achievement of preset temperature marks;
- independence of indoor units from each other;
- economic benefits thanks to inverter technology.
Central air conditioning
ELECTROLUX central air conditioning is represented by fan coil units and SVM multi-zone systems.
Fan coil units are part of the building's central cooling system. The main difference from the air conditioner is the working substance. This is either water or glycol mixtures, which, during the operation of the device, never change their state of aggregation. They have more sophisticated automation and are used where equipment has a large heat release. Combined with chillers, which replace the outdoor unit of a conventional air conditioner.
Externally, fan coil units resemble internal blocks of split systems and have the same type range. ELECTROLUX has a HOME series, which offers air conditioning devices for both administrative and residential premises.
ELECTROLUX multi-zone SVM systems have several lines of both outdoor and indoor units. The former can connect up to 32 indoor devices and control up to 64 independent temperature zones. At the same time, there is a minimum energy consumption. Control over the main elements of the refrigeration circuit is carried out by the latest high-quality control schemes, including inverter and digital regulation. There are various types of indoor units: cassette, duct, wall-mounted and so on.
Such systems are especially effective in regions with large seasonal temperature fluctuations.
Instructions for ELECTROLUX air conditioner remotes
Any ELECTROLUX air conditioner is controlled by the remote control. You can familiarize yourself with all the features of setting various modes by studying in detail the instructions for the air conditioner remote control. How to turn on the appliance for heating or dehumidification, how to set the sleep timer, how to start the SLEEP mode - all this is in this brochure.
The presence of the operating instructions for the ELECTROLUX air conditioner remote control must be checked when purchasing the device. Only with its help it is possible to understand all the functional features of the remote control keys.
Most of the remote controls for ELECTROLUX air conditioners have main operating buttons:
- ON / OFF - turning on / off the power supply of the device;
- MODE - selection of the required operating mode;

Different types of batteries cannot be used. It is also forbidden to use a new power supply device coupled with an already spent resource. If there is a loss of the remote control, then the control is carried out by the emergency switch.
Customer reviews of air conditioners ELECTROLUX
After reviewing the reviews about ELECTROLUX air conditioners, we can conclude that this climatic technology satisfies the needs of both a simple average consumer and a more demanding buyer.
In standard cooling and heating modes ELECTROLUX air conditioners work with dignity. The selected temperature is reached quickly, no crackling of the plastic is observed when it changes, the air is distributed quite evenly. The noise of the indoor unit is minimal and does not interfere with sleep at night.
Many users leave positive reviews about mobile ELECTROLUX air conditioners. Color indication of operating modes on the display, a convenient small-sized corrugated hose outlet, condensate drainage, automatic operating modes, a convenient remote control, the presence of 4 wheels - all these are undoubted advantages.
In terms of price / quality ratio, ELECTROLUX air conditioners are the golden mean. There are cheap models, there are "fancy" ones, which are equipped with many additional options. But in any case, these climate control systems perform the functions assigned to them.
