The history of the Redmond brand dates back only to 2007, when the company was registered in the USA. Since then, it has been producing not only multicookers, on which the initial production specialized, but also air conditioners.
The main product lines
It so happened that the manufacture of air conditioners is not the main direction of the company, so the consumer simply does not receive a special assortment, limited to only two representatives. However, this does not stop to understand them better in order to make an unambiguous conclusion about this technique.
Floor mobile air conditioners
Both split systems belong to the line of Redmond mobile air conditioners, which are also called floor-standing air conditioners. They have a fairly similar functionality, but they could not do without some differences. It is best to start the review with a representative whose model RC-1001 is equipment that does not differ in any features.
Fairly simple equipment. Installing this type of air conditioner does not require special knowledge and skills, which makes it slightly priority when compared with traditional wall split systems. But it’s worthwhile to look more closely at the functionality in order to understand whether it can compete with competitors.
I immediately want to note that such a system works only in cooling, ventilation and drainage modes, there can be no talk of any heating. It is also required to organize the removal of hot air, which is not very convenient when it comes to portable systems. However, such significant drawbacks are covered by the cooling power indicator, reaching 2.6 kW. Not every wall-mounted model of the budget segment can boast of this.
Such power should not be a problem for humans. That is why it is possible to adjust the rotation of the fan. That is, any user will be able to configure the device so that the cooling of the room will occur either at an accelerated pace, or rather slowly. This is very convenient, because the desires of any person depend on the specific situation.
Device functionality
We can not say about the function of remembering settings. This is very convenient if the Redmond air conditioner is not used for a while. The user does not have to re-set the parameters, because the split system simply will not forget them. This is also true for those people who turn off a similar technique before going to bed.
Speaking of night work. The maximum noise level reaches 56 dB, which is very noticeable if a person is resting in complete silence. But, in the lightest mode of such cooling, such an indicator is significantly reduced and you can still get used to it, if, of course, you really like the night cool.
Such an air conditioner can also drain the air in the room. A function that is rarely in demand in apartments, but is often used in private homes. The fact is that excess moisture is concentrated in the room during heavy rains. By turning on the air conditioner in a special drainage mode, you can forget about such a problem.
By the way, you won’t be able to enjoy the coolness during the 40-degree heat, since the temperature range is quite limited. It originates when the air temperature reaches 16 degrees, and ends at 30. This is enough for most of Russia, but simply disastrous for the southern regions.
Do not think that the manufacturer left the user without some amenities, in the form, for example, of the same 24-hour timer.The air conditioner does not need to be turned on and off, which definitely simplifies its operation. It is enough to set the necessary parameters only once and enjoy the available automatism of the work.
Not without the creation of a remote control. Approaching a split system to change, for example, the fan speed, is no longer necessary. It is also very convenient and practical.
RC-9001 breakthrough or twin brother RC-1001
Having examined all the available characteristics of the previous device, I want to find out if the mobile model RC-9001 differs from it. To do this, it is necessary to distinguish from its functionality and indicators that which most stands out.
As it turns out, there can be no differences between the models. These are all the same modes, power indicators and functions. For the end consumer, nothing has changed. Is that the design and color of the case are different, but such little things can not be called a significant difference in air conditioning. There are no differences in cost.
Comparison of popular models
In order to better consider the difference between, it would seem, two identical devices, you need to make a special table where you have to operate only with rough and dry facts, and not with a full description.
| Characteristic | RC-1001 | RC-9001 |
| Modes | Cooling / Ventilation / Drying | Cooling / Ventilation / Drying |
| Timer | there is | No |
| Auto restart | No | No |
| Temperature range | 16 - 31 ° C | 16 - 31 ° C |
| Cooling power | 2640 W | 2650 W |
| Remote control | there is | there is |
| Self diagnosis | No | No |
Instructions for the remote control and air conditioning Redmond
The instruction for air conditioners contains complete information about the technical characteristics of the device, methods for its installation and use. You can also find the manual for using the remote. But it begins with precautionary measures, among which:
- Do not use the appliance for industrial purposes.
- The use of a mobile air conditioner by children who have not been explained the operating rules is not allowed.
- Do not leave a device that is plugged in unattended.
- Do not use an air conditioner to dry things.
- The remote control for the air conditioner must not be left in humid places and under direct sunlight.
Error codes for air conditioners Redmond
The error code can only appear on the display of the device that is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. The expected fact is that such a budget model will not be able to check the status of the compressor. However, the manual for the split system has a special table with the most likely errors in the operation of the equipment.
User reviews
In order to make a plausible picture before you buy an air conditioner, you need to read reviews from real customers or watch a video. On this basis, we can conclude about the advantages and disadvantages of the system in question.
Advantages:
- Good performance in cooling mode.
- Attractive price when compared to wall options.
Disadvantages:
- High noise, buzz and metal rattle.
- Inconvenient installation due to the need to remove the hose.
- Small hose length.
We can conclude that the device in question is not convenient enough for constant use. The two available configurations are not much different from each other, so the user does not have any choice of certain functions and only has to use what is available. The use of such an apparatus is relevant only in the absence of optimal replacements.
