The most common reasons for the appearance of a certain error code are incorrect installation of the air conditioner or its incorrect maintenance.
User reviews
It is extremely rare to find reviews of Sensei air conditioners, where users would refer to the build quality. With this, this manufacturer is all right. Of the minuses of some models, a significant level of noise is distinguished. But, it should be understood that we are talking about powerful high-performance climate systems. Their cost is also rather big, which no consumer will attribute to advantages. But the quality of the equipment and the long service life are worth it.
Pros:
- powerful;
- cheap;
- Ease of use.
Minuses:
- noisy;
- cheap plastic;
- incomprehensible remote control.
Reviews of budget series sensei air conditioners are restrained. Consumers complain about the quality of the plastic of the indoor module, the inconvenient remote control, and the loud operation of the device. At first, when working on heating, the indoor unit smells unpleasantly of plastic, but this is only the first time after installation. At the same time, air conditioners show themselves as reliable workhorses, doing well with their basic functions.
For those who are not intimidated by the higher price of Sensei air conditioners, it is preferable to pay attention to the next price segment. According to reviews of sensei air conditioners, with a price of $ 500 and more, they work flawlessly and the listed disadvantages of cheap models do not apply to them.
