Review of the Electrolux EACS/I-09HSL/N3 model

Electrolux EACS/I-09HSL/N3 is a representative of the series DC Inverter. The name of the line indicates the presence of inverter technology introduced by Electrolux engineers into household air conditioners.

Smooth power control had a positive effect on some characteristics:

• the noise of the street module has decreased;
• energy saving has increased;
• service life has increased.

Thanks to a single voltage conversion, energy losses have been reduced and the design has become simpler.

The Slide series is recognized as one of the most successful due to the acceptable balance of price and set of necessary functions, as well as due to the correspondence of actual parameters to the declared ones

There are six units in total in the series: three marked “N3" and three - "N3_17Y" Models from the second group are more expensive, and the difference in price is explained by the presence of one design element - a pre-filter.

Air conditioners differ from each other only in performance and power. Accordingly, they are designed to serve premises of different sizes: 07HSL – for 20 m², 09HSL – for 25 m², 12HSL – for 35 m².

Considering the recommended area of ​​use, Electrolux EACS/I-09HSL/N3 can be installed both in spacious rooms and in studio-type apartments.

This is one of the best options for equipping two combined rooms, for example, a kitchen and a living room. The air conditioner is also suitable for use in an office or hallway of a 2-story mansion.

Appearance and design features

Being a split system, the model consists of two interconnected modules, one of which is suspended from the wall inside the room, and the other is installed outside on the facade.

There are 2 types of routes laid between them - freon and drainage. These are copper pipes of a certain diameter, enclosed in insulation.

In addition to two modules, the kit includes two filters, catechin and photocatalytic, an instruction manual and a remote control with batteries.

The design of the internal module housing is not much different from the design of competitive models - an oblong plastic product of white and cream color with an indication and adjustment buttons in the central part.

Air enters the unit through a grille located at the top. There are also filters there. The working mechanism is covered by a wide front panel. At the bottom there are vertical and horizontal adjustable slats that act like blinds

The pipeline attachment point is on the left side. The LCD display is small, the indicators for temperature, power on, timer and compressor, and night mode are located in a row.

The indoor unit is supplied with a mounting kit, while to install the external module you need to purchase additional mounting brackets. They are usually chosen not according to a specific model, but according to the size of the block - metal holder stands are universal.

The outdoor unit is a large box made of impact-resistant material, equipped with two grilles - for air inlet and outlet. There is a compressor inside

Control is carried out from a wireless IR remote control. The maximum permissible distance for signal reception is 10 m of free space, without obstacles.

The buttons on the case are used only if the remote control fails for some reason. It is inconvenient to use them constantly, since the module is usually located under the ceiling.

Basic and additional functions

An air conditioner is capable of both cooling a room or office in hot weather, and heating it in the off-season, when it is already cool outside and the centralized heating system is or is not yet working.The adjustable temperature range is from +18 °C to +32 °C. In addition, the system ventilates and dehumidifies the air.

The main parameters - temperature and operating time - are set from the remote control by pressing a simple combination of buttons. To create the most comfortable airflow, you can choose one of 4 fan rotation modes: 3 standard (high/medium/low) and auto.

Using the rotating blind system, you can direct the air in the right directions. Unlike budget analogues, 09HSL/N3 is also equipped with vertical bars that regulate the flow movement to the right/left

Additional features to enhance your comfortable stay in the room:

1. SWING1 – adjustment of blinds, distribution of flows.
2. SWING2 – swaying of vertical blinds.
3. SLEEP – temperature decrease at night, the mode automatically turns off after 8 hours.
4. SUPER – intensive mode, which automatically and quickly lowers the temperature to +18 °C.
5. Auto cleaning – necessary for drying the drainage bath and heat exchanger from moisture after operating the device in cooling mode.
6. Autorestart – turning on the air conditioner after a power failure and saving the settings. Performed in automatic mode 3 minutes after the power supply is restored.

If you wish, you can turn off the display located on the body, then the backlight will turn off and it will become invisible against the white glossy background.

Already a familiar option TIMER helps you choose the most convenient time to operate the air conditioner.

Advantages and disadvantages of a split system

Maximum service area is a very important parameter for air conditioner power calculation. In this model it is limited to 25 m², but this is enough to create a comfortable microclimate in typical residential premises.

For rooms with an area of ​​15-20 m², it is recommended to purchase less powerful equipment - for example, modification 07HSL/N3 from the same series

The set of functions is quite complete; you can select the optimal mode if you need to quickly warm up or cool down.

In addition, the advantages include the following capabilities of the device:

• significant energy savings;
• double air purification from dust and odors;
• identifying faults through self-diagnosis and displaying the error code on the display;
• remembering settings set by the consumer;
• uniform distribution of conditioned air throughout the room.

Separately, it should be said about the noise level - 24 dB. Thanks to this indicator, Electrolux split systems are considered one of the quietest.

Installers of climate control equipment also consider the ease of installation of both units to be an advantage. By the way, it is not recommended to install the blocks yourself, since connecting the pipeline requires certain knowledge

Cons: the need to purchase copper pipes and brackets to install the outdoor module. For some buyers, the obstacle to owning a split system is the high cost. So, its average price tag is 27,900 rubles.

Users' opinions about the air conditioner

• color indication on the display and the ability to turn it off;
• soft airflow in all directions;
• comfortable night mode with limited temperature parameters;
• flow direction – when cooling, the air is distributed throughout the room; when heated, it blows towards people, that is, downwards.

All consumers are delighted with the noise of the device, or rather, with its absence. There is absolutely no hum characteristic of air conditioners, and the barely audible noise is quieter than a whisper. This quality is one of the priorities if the split system is installed in a bedroom or study.

But some consumers also encountered unpleasant moments. For example, there are complaints about sounds from the operation of the external unit, which are especially noticeable in the first few minutes after switching on.

There are problems with the remote control, in which the optional buttons are hidden under a retractable panel.But there is also a plus - thanks to the design of the slider, accidental clicks are excluded
