Kelon air conditioners are manufactured by the Chinese company Guangdong Kelon Electrical Holdings Co., Ltd. It is a leading manufacturer of similar equipment in the country. Its foundation took place in the 80s of the last century, today it is a major manufacturer of household appliances in China.
The main product lines
Unfortunately, despite the fact that such a company has enormous weight in its homeland, only one line of such products is distributed in Russia - Kelon wall-mounted air conditioners. In order to understand why the manufacturer has won such widespread recognition, it is necessary to better get acquainted with at least one representative of split systems, which will allow us to draw certain conclusions about the product as a whole.
Kelon AS-18HR4FD2
One of the most highly productive air conditioners of this brand. Power during cooling reaches 5,000 watts, and this only means that the area for which such a device is designed reaches 100 m2. This is a fairly high indicator, which indicates the possibility of using this split system both at home and in office.
Kelon air conditioners can not only refresh the surrounding air and make it cooler, but also warm the room. In this mode, the power reaches 5370 watts. The only thing that should not be forgotten is that not all temperature ranges allow you to operate such a device in winter, so even with such indicators you should not count on it as the main source of heat.
In general, the user will be able to configure automatic mode. This is a fairly convenient function that will independently determine the temperature of the surrounding air, but not just to signal people about it, but to configure it yourself. That is, no permanent changes will be required. It turns out that with such a convenient and practical function, the user can completely forget that the equipment once had to be set up, especially if it is installed in the apartment.
Additional functions
You can only imagine how bored to turn on and off the air conditioner to those people who do not have a 24-hour timer. This is a fairly convenient function that has already been implemented in the split systems under consideration. The user himself sets the time when it will be necessary to turn on the air conditioner and also indicates the disconnection point. Further work is done only by equipment. Therefore, to turn on the Kelon air conditioner for heating, you do not need to constantly look for the remote control.
Most installed air conditioners operate in rooms where emergency shutdown of electrical systems is possible. And, if the user has gone somewhere on business, but left the device working, then he can not worry that after such an accident the split system will not turn on again. The Autorestart function is an automatic launch of the device with all the settings that were relevant before.
A heater and warmth in the apartment is always good. But not only when outside the window +30, but in the room even more. Getting into such a place, I want to open all the doors, windows and wait until at least part of the entire area of the room is ventilated. "Quick cooling" is a function that activates all the resources of the air conditioner and makes it work at maximum. Of course, he will make a little noise, but after 5 minutes, any person will already forget about the heat and stuffiness.
The “Soft Start” function, which is opposite in meaning, can also please people who have bought this device.Its essence is that sudden changes in temperature are detrimental to the immunity of weak people. By activating this mode, the user agrees to a smooth cooling of the room, and not to fast.
Other characteristics
We can’t ignore the fact that the most powerful air conditioner from the considered line during normal operation does not produce a sound that would exceed 38 dB. These are quite comfortable conditions, especially if the air conditioner was installed in an office where the noise level a priori exceeds the established standards.
By the way, control is carried out from the remote control, so setting up the air conditioner for the desired operating modes does not seem difficult. Such a device definitely helps to work with a split system, if it is located at a great distance from the place of crowding.
In this device there is also a function of storing settings. This is quite a convenient thing for those users who constantly, manually turn the device on and off. When resuming work, you do not have to re-set all the parameters, since they remained in the memory of the split system and there simply cannot be any others. This is also relevant in the event that an emergency shutdown occurs. As mentioned earlier, the air conditioner will turn on again, but the settings could be lost if this were not foreseen.

User reviews
