Exceptional build quality, best operating parameters and thoughtful functionality are presented in Japanese air conditioners TOSHIBAthat not only cool or heat, but also actively purify the air, creating a healthy and comfortable indoor atmosphere.
Product range overview
This brand offers a wide range of two-component (split) and multi-split systems with different types of indoor modules, multi-zone VRF units and heat pumps.
The TOSHIBA Component System range has several lines of inverter compressor air conditioners, which have gained the most popularity among customers for their energy-efficient operation. This was achieved due to the fact that the device operates continuously, without unnecessary switching off and on, and the power is regulated depending on the external conditions, to which the DC compressor can easily adapt.
Wall split systems
In addition to stylish design and minimal electricity costs, TOSHIBA inverter air conditioners in the N3KVR series of wall splitters have a powerful filtration system with several levels of cleaning.
They are the only climate control devices on the market today that have a built-in true purifier. It is capable of processing air several times faster.
Additionally, the system is equipped with ionic, antibacterial and plasma filters - this is a complete protection against bacteria, viruses, dust, dirt, wool and pollen in other series of inverters.
The functional features of TOSHIBA standard and inverter wall-mounted air conditioners include:
- rapid achievement and accurate maintenance of the set temperature parameters;
- low noise level of both units;
- the ability of some series of devices to work at -20 ° C outdoors;
- the use of safe type freon in most devices;
- dehumidification mode;
- the presence of a timer for the day, the "Night sleep" mode, self-diagnostics and automatic change of modes.
The color design of wall-mounted split systems is quite varied. White, silver and black indoor unit panels can fit into any interior.
In two-component splits and multi-split systems, the installation may include not only wall-mounted indoor units, but also cassette, duct, and console units.
Cassette split systems
TOSHIBA cassette air conditioners are mainly represented by 4-way models of standard and more compact sizes. They are easily integrated into the cell of a suspended ceiling structure and distribute the air volumetrically in several directions. This ensures the absence of drafts in the room and the cleanliness of the distribution grid itself - dust does not collect on it.
Compact cassette units correspond to energy consumption class A, while having high cooling and heating capacities, reaching 11.2 kW. The noise when the air conditioner is on is like a human whisper. This type of equipment is best suited for rooms with ceilings from 3.5 m and an area of up to 125 m².
A catechin filter, automatic mode switching, easy access for preventive maintenance, a variety of modes and settings make cassette air conditioners from this manufacturer very convenient to use.
Channel split systems
The air duct system of TOSHIBA duct air conditioners is distinguished by the fact that the air distribution devices can be installed anywhere, and this allows air to be supplied to rooms of any shape. The entire structure is hidden in the false ceiling, so the interior is not disturbed in any way.
All duct devices of this brand (medium and high pressure) are distinguished by energy efficiency, increased external static pressure and smooth air flow distribution. There is a built-in drain pump that allows condensate to be drained to any place, which, if necessary, is installed in the device.
A duct-type air conditioning system can not only recirculate air in the room, but also mix in fresh air from the street, and also cool several adjacent rooms at once.
Console split systems
The two-variant installation and construction of console (floor-to-ceiling) air conditioners of this brand makes them convenient to use and easy to install. They don't take up extra space. The indoor unit is mounted either on the wall just above the floor or on the ceiling. Unlike cassette and duct splits, such an air conditioner does not require either suspended structures or air ducts, but it has almost the same power and accuracy of maintaining the temperature.
Console systems have many convenient modes and functions, namely:
- dehumidification and ventilation;
- floor heating mode;
- blinds adjustment;
- timer on and off;
- economy mode.
This climatic technology can be used as heating radiators if you install the module under the window.
Multi-split and multi-zone systems
A multi-unit (multi) split system allows you to cool and heat up to five adjacent rooms at the same time. From 2 to 5 rooms are connected to one outdoor unit. TOSHIBA has both inverter and non-inverter series of air conditioners for composing multi-split system combinations. Devices of various types can be used as internal modules. Economical consumption of electricity, power, noiselessness, active filtration and versatility are the main advantages of this manufacturer's multi-unit systems. For large buildings, TOSHIBA produces multi-zone VRF systems with variable refrigerant flow. They can combine up to 4 outdoor and 48 different types of indoor modules.
There are 3 series of multi-zone systems that differ in power characteristics: SMMS mini - up to 15 kW, SHRM - 48 kW, SMMSi - 150 kW. Moreover, all the components of these systems, connected by a single connecting line, can be combined with each other.
More favorable cost of operation, many functions, 3 control options (individual, centralized and network), maintaining the temperature with maximum accuracy, meeting the needs of several dozen rooms with completely different requirements - these are the main features of VRF systems from this Japanese company.
All devices are exclusively Japanese assembly. The main part of TOSHIBA air conditioners is capable of operating at temperatures down to -15-20 ° C in winter, completely without interruptions.
Marking
A code from a set of letters and numbers is the marking or index of TOSHIBA air conditioners, which indicates differences from each other not only in type and series, but also in technical and functional parameters.
Not a single company at the moment has uniform standards for letter marking. It can change depending on the year of the product and even small innovations in the control board.But all these data are extremely important in the operation and maintenance of the device.
All that the buyer needs to understand is the difference between TOSHIBA air conditioners by the index in the numerical designations.
The codes 07, 10, 13, 16, 18, 24, 30 in the marking usually correspond to the maximum power that the air conditioner can reach when working for cooling. These codes will correspond to 2 kW; 2.5 kW; 3.5 kW; 4.5 kW; 5 kW; 6.5 kW and 8 kW.
All other distinctive features of TOSHIBA air conditioners according to the buyer's index can be consulted by managers in the store or employees of the official representative office in Russia.
Repair and spare parts
Malfunctions of this manufacturer's instruments are extremely rare. In most cases, breakdowns occur due to non-observance of the installation and operation rules according to the instructions.
Repairs to replace parts and clean TOSHIBA air conditioners should be performed only by a qualified technician, since Japanese climate control devices have the most complex design features.
As practice shows, the faults detected by the user are not so significant and require minor interventions by the repair team. Usually, people may be faced with the fact that:
- the air conditioner "flows" or blows warm air;
- light indication does not work;
- automatic restart of the system is constantly triggered;
- the remote control does not work;
- modes are switched too slowly, the device “thinks” for a long time.
Most often, in such cases, elimination of the problem may require:
- refueling with freon;
- cleaning the drainage system;
- cleaning the air filters of the indoor unit;
- elimination of problems with electronics;
- replacing the battery in the remote control.
If you suspect a malfunction, you should immediately call the appropriate services and read the instructions.
Serious breakdowns of TOSHIBA air conditioners require replacement of parts such as compressor, magnetic starter, outdoor condenser, control board, 4-way valve and so on.
To avoid replacing expensive parts, you should regularly perform preventive maintenance and follow the instructions for use. If the buyer fails to comply with these requirements, the manufacturer does not accept any responsibility for the equipment.
Remote control instructions
You can familiarize yourself with all modes and functions of air conditioners in detail and in an accessible form using the instructions for the remote control for the Toshiba air conditioner. To begin with, you should study the information about all the keys (indicators) of the device - there are many of them. And although the device itself is quite informative, it will be difficult to figure out how to turn on a timer or high power mode without the appropriate documentation.
The instruction for the remote control states that the TOSHIBA air conditioner can be controlled from the panel on the unit itself in the event of a malfunction of the remote controller.
If the user wants to save the most frequently used operations in the memory of the device, then press the MEMO button during the operation of the required mode.
It should be remembered that the automatic restart operation is not programmed initially at the factory, therefore it is worth activating it on the device by the user himself. Any remote control for the Toshiba air conditioner contains instructions on how to do this.
Customer Reviews
There are almost no negative comments among customer reviews of TOSHIBA brand conditioners. These climate control devices are several levels higher than any of their competitors. All users noted that these devices:
- have rich and 100% working functionality;
- present many improved technical solutions in terms of design features, which allows you to save electricity and not hear the operation of the device;
- serve for at least 10-15 years with constant daily use;
- require minimal maintenance and minor repairs;
- have a stylish design and compact size.
Judging by the reviews about TOSHIBA air conditioners, buyers are not even afraid of the rather high price of these devices. There are exceptions, though. Of course, this technique is not included in the ranks of the economy segment in any way, but you can find inexpensive models. For example, a non-inverter type of compressor control always makes the air conditioner cheaper. And the absence of some additional modes and functions will not affect the ability of the device to cool and heat the room in any way. These two factors may well be taken into account when purchasing. It is worth considering that the remote control for the Toshiba air conditioner also costs a lot of money and it is highly not recommended to lose it.
