Kelvinator KSV70HRC (7.0kW)

Poor service and bad product – The split system worked for 6 years. The warranty is for 5. It took 3 weeks trying to get any information about spare parts = none because out of warranty . Service agent = none for me as no one in Melbourne can travel 50 Km and more than $300 if someone could visit. Customer care is non existent. I will never buy an Electrolux product again. Not value for money if broken after 6 years Show details

Very powerful, excellent continuous cooling! – This unit really works well on hot days; it cools very well! But, but, but it never seems to go off like a normal invertor type cooling unit where they to stop cooling at the set temperature. The other nuisance thing about this unit was it wasn't designed in a nice rounded shape like a previous unit that we purchased some years before.. it doesn't… Read more

look so slim line on the wall but rather very squared off at the top. Kelvinator need to stop finding the cheapest unit available for sale and stick with what customers have been happy with in the past.

Mind of its own – would recommend another brand. set to 25-26c and its way to cold, set it to auto fan and seems to take it's time registering what the room temp is, and continues to blow high for ages. today was blowing warm air for a bit, enough to warm the house and make me come have a look whats going on. then decided to go back to cold after ten minutes. I only had it installed about 3 weeks ago

Does not deliver as expected – We installed this one from good guys in January 2015. It never switches off even if you are freezing and you have it set for 25 degrees. For heating vice versa it makes the room super hot when you just want 22 degrees. I just had relatives stay and they said there's something wrong so I got technician out. He said the area is too small for this… Read more

machine and to set it for 7 degrees different to what I really want as there's nothing wrong with the thermostat it just doesn't check very often what the room temp is. So yesterday was a hot day and I told it to cool to 25 degrees however the result was still unbearably cold. Today is meant to be hotter weather I will try set at 30 degrees and see what happens... I Would Never Buy Kelvinator Again!!!

No complaints so far – Have had my unit 3 years, to date very pleased with performance, on quiet cycle I can hardly hear it, I bought it mainly for cooling in summer, but have found the heating cycle very efficient for a large area, we use it a lot now. We also have 3 3.5kw units for a similar time, we mostly only use them in summer, so far no complaints, quiet and efficient.

Does a good job – I got this Split System about 6 years ago and it has been great. Had one service issue when ants got into the outdoor unit and shorted it out but had it fixed under warranty. It is an inverter unit but doesn't slow like my other does. Even at the slowest fan speed, it seems to be quite fast all the time and I have never seen it stop and conserve… Read more ·  1

power once the temperature has been reached. Am very happy with it anyway and it cools most of my house.

I also have a KSV35HRC and it is fantastic. It is very quiet after the temperature is reached and I don't even realise it is still on. Have left it on by accident in the past.

A little note on both systems. They both have a specific time on or off timer. It would be handy to have a quick set off timer, so you could press a button and select off in 30 minutes, then press again for 1 hr etc etc. This would be handy for when you wake during the night and want to have it go off in a while instead of having to wake fully, see the time and set the specific off time.

Cheap and not cheerful. Junk product and rubbish service – Worst split systems ever, the whole HRC and HRE range are junk. My company have bought these in bulk for construction and they have the worst failure rates of any aircon splits we have ever commissioned. It will start with a small issue which leads catastrophic failure of some sort and Kelvinator/Electrolux will give you the run around and… Read more

never fix it properly, even worse if your outdoor unit happens to be raised above ground as they will make up any excuse to say its inaccessible, the technicians are incompetent and their managers are unreasonable. AVOID AT ALL COST and get something else. They are cheap because they are poorly made, rattling and noise is just the start, the start of the split system about to fail. their 5 year warranty is worthless, must as well not have warranty, just flush it down the toilet as Electrolux wont help you.

Never again!

Cashback scam 2014 – Having purchased 2 split systems last year and another more powerful this year with the lure of $200 cashback I am no longer going to buy any Electrolux product as the cash back appears to be non existent. Beware do not deal with these thieves unless everything is in writing and anything mailed is registered. Their unpleasant " service"… Read more

consultants are most unhelpful and display a couldn't care less about customer retention attention. never a problem with Kelvinator in the past but this incident has left me wild nothing with product at this stage

Kelvinator hsv70crc Split System Air Conditioner – I bought the Kelvinator KSV70CRC Split System & although I am happy with the performance I had a great deal of trouble getting the on & off timer to work,Kelvinator sent a guy out so happy with that service but he [name removed] was so condensing that when he left I was almost in tears , having undergone Chemotherapy & Radiation without a whimper … Read more ·  1

you get the gist of how rude he was.

When I rang Kelvinator to tell them about him their attitude " was well we haven't had any complaints before " so beware if you are buying any of their products do not to expect them to be on your side ,also if you register to get their $200.00 cash back their web page won’t let you log back in to check the progress. The heating is fantastic but only installed this week so can't comment on the coldness yet. The attitude of the serviceman.

I Have The Kelvinator KSV70HRC Split System Air Conditioner and I LOVE IT!!!!! – I Love My Air Con and i dont even turn it to the cold button but its cold (Just on Fan Mode). It Has The Biggest Fan I've ever seen but i was just wondering if i can put another head on my bedroom and on my daughters bedroom and just use the existing fan of the Kelvinator?
