Air conditioners WindAir are produced by a part of the Korean company Hyundai, which has been developing and manufacturing various climatic systems, which has spun off into a separate division. The main parent company focused primarily on automotive systems.
If the parent company produces a whole range of different climatic equipment, then the activities of the subsidiary unit (windire) are aimed at the production of exclusively household air conditioners of economy class.
Using the achievements of a powerful production and research complex of related companies, WindAir was able to introduce equipment to the market that is not inferior to analogues of other well-known brands. In fact, within the framework of a separate project, wind air conditioners were not developed, but adapted to the chosen market niche.
Production facilities are located in South Korea. Research and development centers are also located there. The products are manufactured using our own technologies. Mostly using our own components. Some of the parts can be used by an external manufacturer. Usually these are fairly proven manufacturers. It is reported that some units are produced in Japanese factories. One can doubt this information a little, since the bulk of components for air conditioning systems are produced by China. But even Chinese production is tightly controlled. You can be sure that the technique is of guaranteed quality. The quality does not depend on batches of goods.

Theoretically, you can still find the previous series on sale or in operation. Since 2007, two series of air conditioners have been produced: more powerful, positioned for use in small offices and a series for home use. Household air conditioners series 2006. In Russia, the company's products first appeared in 2001, but such old models can hardly be bought anywhere else.
Comparative characteristics of models
Here are the characteristics of all models of currently produced air conditioning systems.
| Model | WSH-071NBE | WSH-091NBE | WSH-121NBE |

| Power consumption (cooling / heating), W | 655/610 | 820/770 | 1090/1020 |
| Noise level of the indoor unit (max), dB | 37 | 37 | 39 |
| Serves an area up to, sq.m. | 22 | 26 | 30 |
| Estimated cost, rub. | 14 000 – 15 000 | 15 000 – 16 000 | 17 000 – 18 000 |
Neither the subdivision nor the parent company has specialized sales centers for air conditioning and household equipment. Specialized service centers also do not exist, if a malfunction is found, you should contact the usual service for the repair of such equipment or at the place of purchase, subject to the warranty.
Instructions for the control panel and air conditioners WindAir
The set includes an instruction manual. The instructions describe the main features of working with the equipment (for example, setting the mode and direction of hot air blowing, setting the operating modes from the remote control for the WindAir air conditioner, etc.). Recommendations are given for the installation of the air conditioner, the initial start-up.
The set of equipment consists of two blocks - external and internal. It is not recommended to install the air conditioner yourself. Especially the outdoor unit. It is usually placed outside the building on an external wall. If the height of the building is high, then it is better to attract firms licensed to carry out work at height for the installation of equipment. In addition, the very connection of the units with each other and the inclusion in the power supply network has its own characteristics.
The WindAir manual also contains instructions for the console. Since the equipment is adapted for the average price niche, navigation through the menu items does not cause any particular difficulties. There are a very limited number of them and all modes are intuitive.
Error codes for air conditioners WindAir
The error codes are standardized and coincide with the error codes of Hyundai climate technology. The self-diagnosis system is quite simple. If any faults are found, their coding is displayed on the remote control screen and duplicated on the indicator on the internal unit of the device.
If any errors occur, it is recommended that you turn off the equipment and restart it. The best way would be to completely de-energize - turn off the circuit breaker in the electrical panel (usually air conditioners are connected to the power supply through a separate group of automatic fuses). Wait a few minutes for the transient to end and then turn on the system again. If in this case the malfunction continues to be displayed, it is recommended to contact a specialist.
The fact is that the technique is complex and various failures are possible, due to which the control system can produce false errors. And self-elimination of malfunctions can lead to more serious damage and subsequent expensive equipment repair, or even the inappropriateness of its repair.
User reviews
There are not many product reviews. This is due to the fact that the equipment is not very well represented on the domestic market. There are no negative reviews. Quiet operation, good design, quality of materials and workmanship in general for the presented price category are noted.
Some users note the good cooling speed and the simplicity of the remote control.
At the same time, the equipment of this company does not differ in any way from similar equipment of comparable competitors - neither in terms of price, nor in terms of quality and other characteristics. Against the background of many similar products and taking into account insignificant supplies, the equipment of this company is simply not particularly noticeable. You can not meet him so often.
