Five of the best "smart" air conditioners with remote control from a smartphone

The American Willis Carrier, who was at the origins of the Carrier company, created in 1902 the first air conditioner to maintain constant humidity in the printing house. After more than one century, the brand's air conditioning equipment remains in demand among both industrial enterprises and ordinary people.

The model with the long index 42QHC009D8SA/38QHC009D8S has enough strength to create and maintain a comfortable microclimate in the premises of the home front with a "square" of up to 27 m2. In operation, the split system relies on an economical inverter drive, designed with an eye to accurately maintaining the specified temperature parameters and a long service life. The operation of the system is implemented in the range of outdoor temperatures from -15 to +43 °C.

Data on the temperature in the serviced room enters the "brain" of the device from the Follow Me sensor in the remote control. At the same time, it is permissible to give commands to the air conditioner from a smartphone — the blowing modes are set remotely, so that upon returning home you will be greeted by a microclimate of a favorable atmosphere.

Flattering words are added to the piggy bank of the advantages of the model by freon brand R32 as a refrigerant and the compact dimensions of the room unit (730x291x192 mm), contributing to its placement above the doorway. And the only stone in the garden of the air conditioner is a noisier operation of the indoor unit at minimum fan speed than that of peers. However, with the claimed noise level of 22 dB, it is unlikely to disturb the sensitive sleep of the household even when installed in the bedroom.

The Japanese brand Daikin is one of the "sharks" of the air conditioning and ventilation industry. For a modern home in the company's portfolio there is a good offer in the face of the Comfora series split system with the FTXP25L/RXP25L model index.

This unit has inverter control with seasonal efficiency of high class A++ for cooling and heating of air masses. The brushless drive at the head of the "hood filling" of the model accelerates ozone-safe freon brand R32 through the "veins" of the system. The refrigerant circulates between the air conditioner units along a route up to 15 m long, provided the maximum height difference is less than 12 m.

Daikin Comfora FTXP25L/RXP25L works on cooling the air in the serviced room (up to 25 m2), heating the air masses at an outdoor temperature of up to -15 °C, dehydration and ventilation. In order to efficiently distribute air flows, the model implements the function of automatic vertical change in the position of the louver grille. At the minimum rotation speeds of the fan blades, the room unit of the device works almost silently (20 dB).

The auxiliary function of the air conditioner is the purification of the driven air and the neutralization of odours by the titanium—apatite deodorizing filter. Another plus point in the karma of the unit "arrives" for the support of remote control from mobile devices. However, to do this, the split system will need to be completed with a Wi-Fi module, because it is often not included in the standard configuration of the model.

The company of the Japanese "breed" Mitsubishi Electric is rightfully considered the guru of air conditioning systems. In 2019, the brand's range was supplemented with a functional split system MSZ-AP25VGK/MUZ-AP25VG from the Standart line.

The air conditioner pleasantly surprises with its high performance for cooling and heating, low noise (from 19 dB on the "minimum") and wastefulness in terms of energy voracity. The energy saving class of the device is marked with the stamp A +++ when blowing with cooled air. At the peak of the fan rotation of the indoor unit, over 774 "cubes" of air masses are driven through its blades in 1 hour.

The secret of high-precision maintenance of the specified parameters of the microclimate and energy efficiency of the air conditioner lies in the use of an inverter compressor. Under its influence, the refrigerant R32 circulates through the pipes of the system with a maximum length of up to 20 m.The model has the function of distributing the air flow not only vertically, but also in the horizontal plane, thereby achieving uniform airflow around the perimeter of the serviced room.

The modification of the device with the MSZ-AP25VGK index is armed "out of the box" with a Wi-Fi module for remote control of functions. In the version of the MUZ-AP25VG unit, you will need to buy one separately. The users of the split system were "given a lift" to a quiet night mode of operation, automatic mode change functions, warm start, weekly timer, auto-restart, self-diagnosis of key nodes for troubleshooting. The cherry on the cake is the I—Save standby heating mode, when activated, the room temperature is maintained at about +10 °C in order to avoid freezing of the walls.

The "icon of style" among the household split systems Cooper&Hunter Supreme CH-S09FTXAM2S belongs to the guard of air conditioners-"nines". The model is supposed to be used on an area of up to 27 m2 both in the hot summer heat and in the fierce winter cold.

An economical drive with inverter control of the highest energy saving class A+++ was introduced into the heart of the model. It causes ozone-hazardous grade R32 freon to flow through the "vessels" of the system.The split system gives coolness at outdoor temperatures up to +54 °C and works for heating in severe frost up to -30 °C. The distinctive features of its inverter compressor are the above-mentioned energy efficiency, low noise (18 dB in night mode of blowing) and increased operational life.

The CH SMART-ION Filter filtration system built into the air conditioner performs complex air purification, neutralizes unpleasant odours, destroys pathogenic bacteria and saturates the air with negatively charged ions for the benefit of the general improvement of the well-being of the household. Well, the self-cleaning function is put on guard to prevent the reproduction of mold and fungi inside the unit (after the air conditioner stops working, the fan continues to work "idle" for some time).

It is offered to control the operating modes of the model from the remote control or a smartphone connected wirelessly. The remote control carries an informative backlit display on board, and its surface is treated with an antibacterial coating. To complete the picture, it is necessary to note the stylish design of the "facade" of the room unit of the device, which will decorate any modern interior.

The designer model of the LG ArtCool Mirror AC09BQ air conditioner fits perfectly with a stylish home interior on a serviced area of up to 25 m2.

The crown "chip" of the split system in the interior is the mirrored front panel of the room unit, which interestingly reflects the environment. In the right segment of the "facade" there is a hidden screen for displaying data on the selected temperature and energy consumption in real time. The mission of controlling the air conditioner is shouldered by a functional remote control or smartphone with a pre-installed SmartThinQ application.

The LG ArtCool Mirror AC09BQ dual-rotor compressor is covered by an extended 10-year warranty. In fact, the inverter motor of the air conditioner manifests itself exclusively in a positive way — it is characterized by "fuel" efficiency, low noise (from 19 dB) and high accuracy of maintaining the specified parameters of the microclimate. The performance of air exchange in the air recirculation mode "at full speed" of the fan speed reaches an impressive figure of 750 m3/hour.

In parallel with providing comfortable microclimate conditions, the split system performs a number of important tasks for cleaning air masses by means of a double-protection antibacterial filter and saturating the air with negatively charged ions. And the reproduction of bacteria and the formation of unpleasant odours in the indoor unit is prevented by the useful function of automatic cleaning of the heat exchanger. The only complaint about the model is the immodest price tag for the product. But for the quality in a beautiful "wrapper", as you know, you have to pay.
