Trademark Fairline is a fairly common name in the world. In this case, no serious manufacturer can be detected. Under this brand, a whole set of various household goods is produced: electrical engineering, lighting equipment, power tools, etc.
All this splendor is produced in various factories in China. Developers are in the same place. Goods are distributed in various network ways, ranging from chain stores, such as Metro, online stores and ending with filling the range of ordinary stores of household equipment.
The general distributor of the brand is not localized. The instructions for most products provide a link to the store where the purchase was made and that’s it. The bulk of the goods produced under this brand is of low quality, of dubious reliability, but they have a certain bonus in the form of a cheap price. However, the guarantee for goods is valid and in case of failure before the warranty period, the goods are exchanged or repaired.
You can find a number of climate systems that have this name in the abbreviation.
Air conditioning Fairline
They are represented by two models of Fairline floor air conditioners and one split system. Systems are the cheapest, manufactured in factories in China. It can be assumed that from the components of different companies. As a result, you can buy an inexpensive, relatively reliable mobile air conditioner fireline poppy, or you can buy a system that will break after the first power-up.
Series (if you still plan to continue the release of some series) look like the following logic:
- MAC. A series of mobile monoblocks. The numbers indicate the approximate cooling capacity. In fact, both released models are not much different from each other. Both work only for cooling. No additional equipment. The kit includes a corrugated pipe and a remote control. The filter is ordinary, flushing;
- SAC. A series of split systems. Presented by only one model. The numbers also indicate the approximate cooling capacity of the equipment. It works in only one cooling mode. No additional features are provided. The simplest filtering, washable element is installed. Included is a remote control.
It is unlikely that the models were developed specifically. Most likely, prototypes of similar devices were taken, the external design was slightly changed and the equipment went on sale under the new brand. This technique has been widely used recently. As a result, the same manufacturer and developer are hiding behind the apparent diversity. And the buyer is handed the banal idea of competition and the free market.
Nevertheless, all three devices are functional and in no way inferior to their other counterparts manufactured in China according to the same scheme. At least here it is honestly stated that the goods are of Chinese origin.
You just need to understand that the goods of the Chinese manufacturer are also different. So almost all the leading brands in the world place production or orders for components in China. But something is produced there for consumer goods, something for serious customers, as well as independent production itself is also segmented.
And the niche of budget consumer goods can also be formed from the products of various enterprises.And such products can vary greatly in quality even within the same batch, not to mention different batches, and even more so in different enterprises.
Comparative characteristics of several models
For comparison, we give the characteristics of the models.

You can buy Fairline air conditioning in stores selling household appliances and electronics. There are no specialized sales centers.
Fairline remote control and air conditioner instructions
The instruction for air conditioners contains a description of the device, recommendations for installing the air conditioner and its operation. The kit comes with a remote control for the air conditioner (shown in the photo). Management is simple: you can set the temperature, turn on / off. The fan speed may also decrease. Actually, all control is reduced to setting degrees and turning it on. In floor models, condensate must be drained in a timely manner.
The presented systems work only in cooling mode, at too low street temperatures, malfunctions can be observed, especially with regard to the split system.
Fairline air conditioner error codes
The user manual provides a brief description of possible equipment problems. Air conditioning systems are very simple, including a lack of a self-diagnosis system. Therefore, error codes signal the presence of some critical malfunction, but do not localize it.
A fault signal can be displayed on the indicator of the unit and duplicated on the remote control.
The use of faulty equipment is not recommended, although it may continue to work, since no blocking is provided. But no one will say how long the system will work until the complete failure.
Self-repair is not recommended. Warranty after such an intervention is removed from the equipment. The system is simple, so many technical aspects can be perceived as malfunctions. It is recommended that when the system stops working, turn it off and carefully inspect. Possible icing in the nodes, the accumulation of a large amount of liquid, etc. You can just let the equipment stand for a while, thaw, cool, and then try turning it on again.
User reviews
Fairline mobile air conditioning is no different from similar models from other companies. Like the vast majority of portable devices, there is a high level of noise. Sleeping with such working equipment is not comfortable.
Among the shortcomings, users pay attention to the short length of the corrugation - 2 m. For reliable operation, it is necessary to exit to the street with an apron, otherwise the heat emitted gets back into the room and the efficiency decreases. A cold can blow only in the immediate vicinity.
The undoubted advantage that is present in almost every review is its low price. One of the lowest in the budget category.
And although most users still recommend the product for purchase, we will not be so unambiguous. The fact is that marriage in such products is almost impossible to identify until the moment of their use. And after identification, it can be quite difficult to prove that the failure occurred through the fault of the manufacturer. You can recommend it for purchase only with a very modest budget and promotional discounts.
