Remko RKL 495 DC Review (after using for for more than 1 month)
I bought 2 of these units and cooling really works at low fan. My appartment is 84 square meters and I have placed 1 in the living room and the 2nd in the master bedroom, when both are running, the temp in the apartment is very pleasent compared to the heat outside. I always get the indicated temp inside even though outside temp is more than 30 C. I normally set the inside temp to be 24 C.
Very happy with my purchase.Pro
- Mobility due to wheels on the base of the unit
- Cooling
- Timer (on/off)
- Different fan speeds
- Remote control
- Automatic wind direction and able to stop it at an angle needed
- Does not need to open the window that much as the connector is very thin comapred to monoblocs
- Noice during day time at low fan mode is ok
Contra
- A bit noisy in the night
Cooling capacity very good
- Keeps a room of 30 m2 at 33 degrees outside temperature constantly at 23 degrees with the lowest fan speed (low) and a set temperature of 23 degrees.
- Pumps the condensate water to the outdoor unit. Additional cooling is provided by evaporation at the outdoor unit.
I bought it for 1799 and would buy it again, so I recommend it.Pro
- Cooling capacity very very good
- Additionally cools through condensate evaporation
- 4 carabiners and 2 straps for attachment to a balustrade
- Outdoor unit can be mounted on indoor unit for transport
- Inner unit has castors and can be moved easily
- 3 metre hose between indoor unit and outdoor unit
- Handles on outdoor unit and indoor unit
- Indoor unit quiet
Contra
- Price
- Size and weight
Works very well, but the gas runs out very quickly
I've had this model for 4 years and every 2 years it runs out of gas, so no more cold is generated. It becomes a big fan waiting to be repaired. It takes 2-3 weeks to recharge the gas, so it's not practical when you realise it at the start of the heatwave.
However, when it works, it's great. Perfect for keeping a bedroom at the right temperature at the end of the day.Pro
- 15k BTU
Contra
- Energy consumption B
- The gas disappears too quickly
turn your house into a fridge
so here the dog almost froze to death, if you set the thing to full throttle it sounds like an aeroplane landing, if you set it to 25°C when it's >35°C outside it only comes on every 3 minutes and not even loudly, the most sensible electrical appliance I've ever bought! And that with the immersion heater in the blazing sun!
Powerful and effective
It does what it has to do and it does it well.
We had it for the past 2 months and we are very happyPro
- very powerful - room is cold within a few minutes
- well refined and well built
Contra
- not A class energy consumption
- expensive
