Top 15 split systems

Split systems are air-conditioning devices designed to quickly heat or cool air to a user-required temperature. Structurally, they can be divided into two separate nodes (block):

• external in which the compressor and the condenser are placed;
• internal, equipped with fine air filters and an evaporator.

This arrangement allows you to save space in the apartment, as well as to simplify the unit as much as possible for easier maintenance and repair in case of malfunctions. The disadvantages of such systems include the actual impossibility of switching on the conditioning mode in winter (depending on the temperature conditions of operation specified in the installation certificate).

All split-systems have a clear classification by type of installation:

• Wall. The most primitive and widespread type, suggesting the fixing of the evaporative unit on the supporting wall.
• Cassette. Special method of fixing the internal node under the suspended ceiling.
• Ceiling. The brackets of the split system are mounted on the ceiling, where channels are also laid to reach the compressor unit.
• Column. Original split systems, made in the form of columns and designed for floor fixing.
• Channel. Another special type of air conditioners, which are attached directly to the suspended ceiling.

The choice of a class of forked air conditioners strongly depends on the overall layout of the apartment or house. But if you decide on their basic installation - the task is relatively easy, then it is very difficult to choose the necessary model for the technical parameters. The choice is especially difficult in conditions when each manufacturer seeks to promote its product to the top. After a thorough analysis of consumer opinion, we have compiled for you a rating of the best split-systems in three different price segments. The following parameters were chosen as criteria for evaluating goods:

• consumer reviews and market experts;
• plant performance;
• power consumption and heating / cooling capacity;
• value for money ratio.

Best inverter split - premium class systems

The difference between the inverter split-systems of premium-class from the standard models lies in the high price. From the point of view of manufacturing technology, there are not so many features: the internal units are equipped with more advanced plasma filters, additional indicators, and the ability to fine-tune the air supply.

4 Hitachi RAK-70PPA / RAC-70WPA

Premium model of split conditioner both in appearance and in essence. The Hitachi RAK-70PPA / RAC-70WPA is a device of a qualitatively different level of performance, the purchase of which is designed for installation in a spacious apartment or much more extensive private homes. It has a truly tremendous power of heating and cooling, equal to 8000 and 7000 W, respectively.The maximum possible air flow through the indoor unit is 18 cubic meters, which is achieved thanks to a nominally more “strong” compressor.

As regards the Hitachi modes, the RAK-70PPA / RAC-70WPA does not present any surprises, showing itself from a rather conservative setting. In addition to the regular filter, a deodorizer is installed in it, but judging by the feedback from users, this is by no means what is expected from an air conditioner of this level. Unfortunately, not all are capable of assessing the reliability rate of a trademark, and this split-system should be viewed mainly from this side.

3 Daikin FTXB35C / RXB35C

The Daikin FTXB35C / RXB35C split system is a very interesting combination of high parameters and low prices in the category of premium technology. It is enough for servicing an area of ​​35 square meters - a magnificent indicator that most competitors are simply not capable of. But the equipment of the indoor unit does not provide for the installation of additional elements, so it uses only the standard cleaning filter. Fan speed is limited to three modes, which is enough for normal adjustment. There is nothing superfluous in the air conditioner, and this is its main advantage, along with an attractive price tag for consumers.

Advantages:

• reliability and durability;
• good value for a premium model;
• high rate of service area.

Disadvantages:

• creaking blinds when opening / closing.

2 LG A09AW1

Perhaps the most extraordinary premium class inverter split system is the LG A09AW1 model. Functional device, apparently it is a ... real canvas of the artist. As part of the functional, he also has something to brag about. Inside the air conditioning unit, three cleaners are placed at once: deodorizing, plasma and fine filter. Thanks to this, the room receives exceptionally fresh and clean air, which is very important for people suffering from allergies to fine dust. As a premium model, the price for it will be appropriate.

Advantages:

• the original execution which favorably distinguishes the conditioner from others;
• the presence of three air purifiers;
• optimal energy efficiency class (A).

Disadvantages:

• not found.

1 Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-FH25VE / MUZ-FH25VE

It is equipped with deodorizing and plasma filters, as well as a temperature indicator with I SEE technology. The fan of the conditioner has a built-in regulator with five adjustable modes. It is noteworthy that, unlike applicants, during operation it consumes little electricity (485 W when cooled and 580 W when heated). The main disadvantage of the model is a small service area - only 20 square meters.

Advantages:

• high reliability;
• the presence of a temperature indicator;
• high energy efficiency;
• presence of built-in filters.

Disadvantages:

• small service area.

The best split-systems in terms of price-quality ratio

5 LG P07EP

Inverter split system LG P07EP - a sample of excessive concern for the cleanliness of the ambient air, which has significant operating parameters. Suitable for installation in any premises, be it an apartment, a house or a studio room.Due to the redesigned air intake design and decent power indicators (2050 W for cooling and 2500 W for heating), the air flow through a number of filters is 9.8 cubic meters per minute. In addition to the deodorizing filter, the LG P07EP is equipped with an anion generator, which is very useful for people who are allergic to fine dust.

In general, this set completely exhausts all the interesting "features" of a good model. Of course, the set of useful functions does not end here - which is at least worth equipping with a four-stage speed control and low noise level at work. This is more than enough for consumers, especially in view of low costs.

4 Electrolux EACS-07HAT / N3

Experts prefer to refer the air conditioners of the Electrolux trademark to the midpoint number, but, even as such, they manage to destroy their more elite competitors. Sales of many opponents failed after the release of Electrolux EACS-07HAT / N3 - an extremely low-cost and very productive installation, designed to adjust the climate within 20 square meters. Thanks to this, it can be installed both in the apartment and in the house, without losing the work efficiency in the least.

With a fairly low bandwidth (only 7 cubic meters of air), Electrolux EACS-07HAT / N3 copes well with cooling and heating of rooms, largely due to the power of 2200 and 2340 W, respectively. In addition to the regular filtering element of rough cleaning, it has a deodorizing filter, the presence of which was liked by home comfort lovers. Taking into account the purchase price, this model becomes the most rational choice when it comes to the budget segment.

3 Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-DM25VA / MUZ-DM25VA

Another representative of Japanese companies in the face of Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-DM25VA / MUZ-DM25VA is the most advanced device in the composite ranking of the best mid-budget split-systems. With actual power consumption in the region of 710-850 W, this model produces enormous cooling / heating power values ​​of 2500 and 3150 W, respectively. Fan speed, finally, goes from the standards in three positions, and is regulated in (inconceivable) four values. There are standard modes of operation (night, to maintain the temperature and fan mode), as well as a set of adjustments like a warm start.

But the main nuance of Mitsubishi Electric MSZ-DM25VA / MUZ-DM25VA, judging by consumer reviews, was the presence of a Wi-Fi interface that is integrated into the split-system optionally. This is the most winning model of a split system, offering users a large set of technical characteristics at a low price.

2 Ballu BSLI-07HN1 / EE / EU

The Chinese inverter split system Ballu BSLI-07HN1 / EE / EU has become a model of a good quality attitude to the requested value. Possessing the same power of heating and cooling (2100 W), this model shows high efficiency in areas up to 20 square meters, so it can be installed both in an apartment and in a private house. The maximum air flow passing through the filters and going to the room airflow is 9.67 cubic meters - one of the best results in the top category. Another nuance that favorably distinguishes the device from competitors is the presence of a deodorizing filter, acting as a stationary air freshener.

Consumer approval also included such Ballu BSLI-07HN1 / EE / EU functions, such as simple operation (via remote control), continuous adjustment of the compressor rotational speed, as well as enviable stability during voltage fluctuations.

1 Daikin FTXB20C / RXB20C

Average prices, an abundance of operating modes and excellent power characteristics are only a small part of what the Daikin FTXB20C / RXB20C inverter air conditioner can offer. Designed for areas up to 20 square meters, this model has 2000 W of cooling power (at a network power consumption of 510 W) and 2500 W - heating (and 600 W from the network, respectively). As additional modes of operation, it provides simple ventilation at maximum compressor speeds, night mode (complete absence of noise with the soft cooling effect of the evaporator), as well as automatic temperature maintenance.

However, one of the most important technical aspects of the Daikin FTXB20C / RXB20C is the lower operating temperature threshold. As a heater, the units can operate at -15 ° C. And, since the sensors in the inverter split systems are very sensitive, none of the competitors before this bar, fortunately Daikin, falls short.
