Uniel is a trademark of the international manufacturing holding Universal Electric & Lighting. The beginning of the company is 1991. At the initial stage, the company's products were lighting equipment, mainly various light sources (fluorescent, LED lamps, etc.). Then the assortment expanded. Declares innovative electrical solutions in the field of energy-saving technologies for both industrial use and for personal consumption. For the surroundings, the modern trend has not been bypassed - the statement of a simple principle, the company's slogan: “Technologically - it means affordable.”
In fact, a relatively small line of various electrical equipment is presented. The lineup contains simple goods (electrical tape, connectors, etc.) and fairly high-tech (elements of a smart home, voltage stabilizers, uninterruptible power supplies, etc.). On the Internet you can find a video review of the company's products.
It is stated that the goods are produced at own enterprises and on order at the factories of other firms under the control of the company. Production facilities are located in China, Slovakia, and Russia. What exactly and where is produced is not specified.
Including in the line of products uniel there is a position and climatic equipment. It is not represented much: portable heat guns, control systems for underfloor heating and uniel floor air conditioning.
The main produced air conditioning systems
Currently, the company’s products offer two models of floor air conditioners. It was not possible to find modern split-systems popular on the market under this brand.
Mobile air conditioning equipment is manufactured in factories in China. The company does not have design capacities for such developments. Uniel mobile air conditioning is a Chinese-made tracing paper sold under the brand name of the company. Nevertheless, the quality of air conditioners is not inferior to the quality of other products of the manufacturer. There is no wide variation in quality in products. This suggests that air conditioners are assembled at the same plant from components of the same manufacturer. When buying, you can be sure that the quality of goods from different parties will not differ.
Mobile portable air conditioners
Uniel TAC air conditioner is a mobile candy bar. The equipment works only for cooling. Additionally, with very high humidity, the effect of air drying is present. Compressor control circuit classic start-stop.
Two models differ in power and, accordingly, the area that they can service - by 36 and 45 square meters under standard conditions (ceiling height, lack of additional heat sources, etc.).
There are no additional cleaning filters. There is only one operating mode. The kit includes a remote control for the air conditioner. From it you can set the cooling temperature (in fact, the power with which to cool), turn the air conditioner on or off, set the timer.
Models are made in white. The design is classic without any claims to special originality, which allows the equipment to fit into any interior.
The equipment is guaranteed for 1 year.

You can buy air conditioners in household appliances stores. There are no specialized centers for climatic equipment of this company. Repairs are also carried out on a common basis at ordinary service centers.
Instructions for the control panel and air conditioners Uniel
The set of equipment includes instructions for air conditioners. Devices do not have complex automation. Even the mode of maintaining the temperature is absent. The device is configured for cooling power and does not control the temperature in the room.
Installing and setting up such equipment is intuitive and does not require a thorough description. In this regard, the instructions in the kit are attached very brief.
For effective operation, it is necessary to divert the flow of warm air out. For this purpose, the kit includes a corrugated outlet pipe with nozzles for connecting to the device and external mount. Without heat removal to the outside, room cooling is not provided.
In the process of work, a lot of condensate can form, which will need to be removed on time, despite the self-evaporation mode. It is recommended to pay attention to this feature.
It is possible to control the operation of the air conditioner from the remote control or from the control panel on the unit itself. Several options are possible: on / off, setting a timer, setting the temperature of the output stream and setting the fan speed.
Error codes for Uniel conditioners
The equipment is simple. There is no self-diagnosis system. Error codes in case of any malfunctions will not be reflected. The display may indicate a malfunction without indicating its nature.
You can judge a malfunction by other signs:
- poor cooling;
- unusual noise and crackling;
- water is flowing;
- does not turn on;
- bad smell;
- turns on, but after a while spontaneously turns off.
If such symptoms occur during operation, it is not recommended to independently determine the malfunction and repair. Although the equipment is not too complicated, it is necessary to have certain knowledge and skills to repair it. It is better to take the device to a service center or invite a specialist.
One of the possible causes of malfunctions may be frozen ice inside the equipment (observed during prolonged continuous operation at maximum conditions). Before giving the device for repair, it is recommended to turn it off and thaw for a while (up to several hours). If performance is not restored, then you should contact the master.
User reviews
Like all mobile systems it has increased noisiness. Installation of the air conditioner is quick, but due to the inconvenience of bringing the corrugation out. But this applies to almost all portable air conditioning systems, without exception. In return, we get the pros - a quick start to work and the ability to quickly transfer to any place.
Overall reviews are positive. Users note ease of use and reasonable price. Lack of complicated settings.
Compared to some of his brethren, he is a little too big. And a branch sleeve of small length. Not fully described in the attached instructions. Difficulty in repairing - not every master takes such equipment for repair.
The display can write strange characters that are not described in the instructions. This means an error in the air conditioner, and not an exact indication of the cause of the error.
