Euromatic 3.3kW White A018D-12C

Major quality issues and reliability – Update 15/01/2025 And do we have issues and out of warranty Quality and build issues *****Sling motor shorted out ***** The Sling Motor shorted out and hence had to empty the unit every 30 minutes manually. This motor is a YJF-4820 $123 with postage from Tempo.org(warranty providor) and unsure if included the wiring connector. It has special… Read more

blades that splash the condensed water from the tray onto the evaporator reducing the times you have to empty the unit and helps cool the unit down during use. I went the Ali Express route and cost $47 but had to change over the motor spindle.

Now reason why this happened is because the wiring connector of this fan to the control board was loose and hence shorted out the motor. Appalling quality for the connector and should be rectified especially as its a 240v wiring connector.

So was loose and shorted out the motor. Images supplied. Plug also due to shorting on itself, cause premature failure to the metal and spring for the connector. Really dumb design. So fixed it Macgyver style and replaced the motor with the original spindle and resoldered it and installed it back into the unit.

All working fine

Can the issues be avoided with a better quality plug, ABSOLUTELY YES

***** Grill Vibration ***** Had to also fix the grill vibrating and only accessible to fix issue once taken apart. Literally grill fixed in place only on 2 out of 4 contact points. Literrally a small squirt of glue on those two points and they couldnt do the other 2 contact points is beyond me and simply just cheap butt quality.

Hot glue gun sorted it out.

***** Conclusion ***** Tempo.org is the auth repair and warranty company that outsource in your local area. They told me i was out of warranty and basically suck it up. Not cool as expected it to last more than 2years and i didnt have proof of purchase anymore. Bought it from a friend and they used it for a year and so its probably 3 years old and only used in summer hot days.

Back up and running fine so far but scored a 4/5 and now reduced to a 1/5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nov 2023 Got the 3.5kw unit and it's so much better then I expected. Portable units are noisy, it has to be as the compressor is in the unit and unlike a split system where the compressor is outside.

The unit cools a medium bedroom with blinds closed nicely. Bedroom is 6mx6m and faces north and the unit cools it down.

Can sleep with it on once you get used to the unit turning on and off. That happens due to reaching the set temperature and the fans still blow which is normal as well.

Timer functions are handy as well so it's not running all night.

Great unit, very pleased with it.

Only issue is the grill on the exhaust on the unit. It rattles. Easily sorted by threading extra duct through the attachment so it pushes the grill back in place. Maybe hot glue gun or sponge foam to push it back in place.

So cheap you don't get all the parts – I buy quality and spend good money to do so. Bought this expecting more. I own high quality product products, this is not one of them. To not received the hoses required to run the unit without emptying a bucket over and over is the sign of a greedy company and a crap product. Aside from that, cooling is average at best. Save your money, buy the plain label version. Greedy Italians have lost my dollar. Show details

Great portable A/C – It is a great little A/C for a portable one, expect it to be noisy in comparison to a split system as the compressor is inside the unit and not outside. The unit cools well and blows nice chilly air. The issues i found is it rattles a bit and makes water gurgling sounds even though the resivour is not full, the compressor also makes quiet a shudder cutting in and out and feels like it has no soft start. Show details
