The model combines the functions of a split system, a fresh-air intake unit, and an air-quality sensor, and is controlled by voice in Russian without an internet connection. The reviewers disassembled the indoor and outdoor units and measured noise, vibration, and the surface area of copper tubing in the heat exchangers.
What’s in the review
The model’s key feature is a fresh-air intake module with a flow deflector, which the team called a “flying saucer.” The supply air is delivered upward without preheating, but it does not hit the ceiling; instead it meets the deflector and disperses in all directions. According to the authors, no other manufacturer has such a solution, and it is likely patented. The intake works even when cooling is off—in this mode, the air conditioner acts like a regular breather.
A carbon dioxide sensor with color indication is installed on the indoor unit casing:
- 🔵 blue — excellent air quality
- 🟡 yellow — good
- 🟠 orange — poor
In the review, the indicator visibly shifted from blue to yellow after the hosts talked for a few minutes near the unit. The team notes that for supply-ventilation equipment such a sensor is fundamentally important: without it, the user does not understand whether the ventilation provides any real benefit.
Voice control is covered in a separate section of the review. The wake word is “Hello, TCL.” The air conditioner responds and executes commands for:
- turning on and off
- setting and changing temperature
- switching between cooling and heating
- rotating the airflow right and left
All commands were tested by the Avgust-klimat team deliberately without using the manual. According to the authors, the assistant responds instantly and works without an internet connection, meaning processing is done locally; compared with a previously tested talking model from another brand, TCL turned out to be an order of magnitude more convenient. Eight languages are supported, including Russian, while Chinese and German are not on the list. Additionally, the air conditioner can connect to Yandex Alice and foreign voice assistants.
Measurements
- Indoor unit noise level: 31.7 dB — by the Avgust-klimat methodology, this is a very good value.
- Outdoor unit vibration amplitude: 0.16 with a unit mass of 25 kg.
- Copper tube surface area:
- indoor heat exchanger — 0.32 m² with a capacity class of 2.5 kW
- outdoor — 0.65 m² (which the authors called a grandmaster-level value)
It is precisely the large heat exchangers that, in their opinion, ensure the claimed energy-efficiency class A+++. The outdoor unit features an electronic expansion valve; the cooling operating range is up to an outdoor temperature of +66 degrees.
Drawbacks (according to the review)
- the remote is not in Russian
- no list of Russian voice commands in the printed manual
- no fine filtration filters and no slots for them
Authors’ conclusion
The Avgust-klimat team believes the model’s premium price is backed by hardware rather than marketing: a full set of flagship components, large heat exchangers, and an honest energy-efficiency class. The model is recommended primarily for those who need fresh air, as well as for buyers for whom the technological sophistication of not only the indoor unit but also the outdoor unit matters.
