Haier is also a national-level household appliance brand, with a large production scale, a relatively high market share, and trustworthy workmanship, but its focus is on refrigerators, and it has been catching up with Midea and Gree in the air conditioning industry, and the hard power is relatively lacking, and there is still a certain gap between Midea and Gree in core technology.
Unlike Midea and Gree, which have been able to independently develop and produce compressors, Haier still relies on other manufacturers to supply compressors, but fortunately, the rotary compressor technology is quite mature, and the Japanese compressors such as Highly are equipped with Highly and Meizhi and Lingda in terms of performance, and there is not much gap with Gree and Midea.
Haier mobile air conditioner claims to have low power and good energy-saving effect, but this is only from the parameter point of view, in fact, due to the refrigeration principle of mobile air conditioner, its refrigeration efficiency and energy-saving effect are inferior to split air conditioner. Therefore, no matter how Haier markets the energy-saving effect, it cannot make up for the shortcomings of the mobile air conditioner itself.
In terms of humanized functions, like Midea, Haier has equipped a self-evaporating condensate system in the whole series of mobile air conditioners, in which the water pump motor can drive the water pump to atomize the collected condensate into fine particles and spray it to the condenser, which then let the condenser evaporate the atomized condensate. This function not only greatly enhances the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser, reduces the power consumption of the whole machine, but also saves users the trouble of self-drainage.
Compared with Midea and Gree, Haier's mobile air conditioners are significantly more numerous, and the options are more abundant, mainly positioned as kitchen air conditioners, of which the large one and 1.5 hp power products account for the majority, and the price is mainly distributed between 1500-2500 yuan, of which the model with the highest energy efficiency ratio is KY-35/E, reaching 2.69. KY-35/E has a power of 1.5 hp, a cooling capacity of up to 3500W, and a circulating air volume of 400m³/h, which is suitable for use in small and medium-sized living rooms and kitchens.
The power of the KY-32/A is the same as that of the KY-35/E, but in terms of energy efficiency, the KY-32/A is slightly inferior. It is also worth mentioning the KYR-36/A model, which has the highest cooling capacity among Haier's mobile air conditioners, with a maximum cooling capacity of 1.5 hp, and is also the only model among many models that is marked as supporting heating functions.
Haier's after-sales and offline service quality in the split air conditioning industry has always been its brand advantage, and the mobile air conditioning industry is no exception. Considering the convenience of installation and the range of refrigeration, Haier has extended exhaust pipes and other accessories for sale on major e-commerce platforms, which are convenient for users to install by themselves.
