The AC works well fan is a little noisy – 5 stars for uint but 2 stars for instal manual. The unit is easy to use and my old one die so I brought the same size and type again as I was happy with the old one but the old one had a drain hole this one has a hard to get out the plug and no instruction or advice of removing the plug other than it may decrease performance. But it is noise when… Read more
the water channel fills with water as the fans ping loudly as they put it against the condenser I assume to cool the condenser but in the heating mode, it becomes very loud. Rumana from Electrolux the copy and paste "contact us" response is not cutting it. Please let us all know WHY the plug is in there and what will happen if taken out and can it be safely drilled out as unscrewing is a pain in the Butt. Also, it would have been good to have this clearly explained in the instruction manual before instaling.
Great unit – Great AC unit, great features, cools the bedroom down nicely. The only cons that I can find are the installation instructions are not that clear and I wish it had a slightly lower fan speed. Show details
Weird noise – Terrible unit. Very noisy in heat mode. In cooling mode it doesn't make that sound. We had to buy oil heater to get good night sleep. Bought from goodguys. Have been using Kelvinator air conditioner for years. Don't think I would recommend anyone now. Show details
Won’t warrant a 24 hour product – So, I bought this from the good guys at gepps cross and installed it, noticed that it was hissing and not working efficiently and as I have 2 others of the same in my house as it is I compared them and it just was no where near as good. I contacted Electrolux and they instructed me to take it to the good guys and do a DOA swap as it’s within 7… Read more
days. The good guys refused to do it claiming that Electrolux told them not to. I then took the unit back home, called Electrolux and they said they didn’t refuse to warrant their item and said if I wanted they would sent a tech out. This could be next day and then once the technician decides what’s wrong with it which is the lack of gas charge, they will organise a replacement but only at there discretion and would then take longer for the new unit to arrive.
I remember when kelvinator was a great Aussie brand, everyone wanted a kelvinator fridge and air conditioner. Then along came Electrolux and they decided to make everything in China to the lowest cost possible. They no longer want to service or strive for customer satisfaction and I feel this is shown buy how many Simpson dryers and washing machines have issues.
If only fisher and paykel made air conditioners hey! Never have I had an issue with there service of there appliances but Electrolux refuse! Now I’m stuck with a dud AC that they refuse to honour there DOA policy as stated in there owners manual!
Great basic cooling system – Purchased this model for a bedroom (so a shift worker could sleep in summer time!). Cools the room ice cold and very quickly. No major change in my electricity bill noticed despite is running all day in the heat of summer sometimes. It's only real fault is it's a bit noisy and the power cord is only short so had to install a closer PowerPoint. Show details
Fantastic Quite Room Aircon – I put this in at the start of summer and it has made the world of difference to out stuffy bedroom. It is really quiet running - no problem sleeping with this one and is reasonably efficient for an aircon. The best bit is any home handyman can install this because it just plugs in. No wiring needed. A lifesaver this hot summer. Haven't used the heating yet because I really just bought it for cooling. Very happy with it. Show details
Affordable and Efficient – For a 2.7kW cold and 2.4kW hot this little wall unit air conditioner packs a punch. Absolutely a DIY installation was very easy. Just uses a normal 10A power point so no need for extra wiring. A quiet little unit that works well (well so far it is). Was magical during the January 2018 week long heatwave in Victoria with most days 43+ temperatures.
Junk metal, faulty product, dont waste your money – Emits a rattling noise so loud it had to be turned off, faulty unit. Kelvinator warranty process is a nightmare, a over a dreadful month long experience, more than 15 phone calls and complaints, 4 technician visits and multiple attempted deliveries and pick ups that just don't turn up after many hours of waiting. Eventually replaced with a unit… Read more
that seems to work ok.
Still waiting for the old faulty pile of junk to be picked up but I can't afford to take any more time off work to accommodate the comedy/tragedy of errors. Enjoy spending your hard earned cash in return for stress. Some friendly customer service reps eventually assisted after painful complaints process.
cooooollll!!! – o.k. moved into the upstairs bedroom and discovered how quickly heat builds up during the day , so i looked at various model window mount aircon units and the kelvinator seemed to be the best value for money , so i purchased the kwh26 model , cooling only as heating was not a priority, installation was a breeze , and then i discovered it's… Read more
downside , it's a little noisy in a confined space , cools the room in approx 6 mins (18sq.mt. floor space) and then the fan just circulates the air ,the difference between low and high fan speeds is minimal so it basically stays on low when in operation . capable of cooling a much larger room and being wall mounted, if the difference in fan speeds were greater with low truly being low the noise level would be not so intrusive but overall happy with the performance at the price
