Samsung 700558 Air Conditioner Review

The ductless mini split model of the air conditioner mainly consists of an outdoor condenser unit connected to an indoor air handler via wires and refrigerant tubing. This effectively eliminates the need for air ducts, which can take up a lot of space and require heavier renovation to install. The result is quicker, cheaper, and easier installation of your air conditioning system, however, it is still absolutely required that you hire a professional to carry out this task.

If you’re interested in one such unit with a high performance output, above-average efficiency ratings, and a range of convenient features and functions, check out our Samsung 700558 review below.

Cooling Performance

The Samsung 700558 is a powerful air conditioner capable of effectively providing 36,000 BTUs of both cooling and heating power, making this the ideal system to maintain a comfortable environment in a residential setting, all year-round.  Additionally, this unit is capable of removing an impressive 8.45 pints of excess moisture from the air per hour. Thus, the Samsung 700558 is best suited for installation in hot and humid climates.

Efficiency & Certifications

The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of a unit provides an accurate representation of how efficiently a unit can be expected to perform while in operation. Taking into account cooling output, energy consumption, and average seasonal weather conditions, the higher the SEER score, the better. With a SEER of 18, the Samsung 700558 is generally considered to be highly efficient.

With regard to certifications, the Samsung 700558 ductless mini split air conditioning system is ETL certified, which means that this product’s design follows all

Convenience

On top of the Samsung 700558’s above-average performance, both with regard to its temperature altering abilities and its efficiency, this system also benefits from numerous convenient features and functions. The first and most notable of these features that we would like to discuss is the wireless remote control, which essentially allows the user to operate their device from anywhere in the room. Further, the Samsung 700558 enjoys functional settings such as turbo mode, quiet mode, sleep mode, and dry mode. Turbo mode draws a more powerful performance from the system, at the sacrifice of efficiency and quietness, while quiet mode essentially does the opposite, allowing the unit to function at a decreased capacity, with less noise pollution. Dry mode, on the other hand, enables the Samsung 700558 to remove moisture from the air, without altering the temperature of the room. Finally, this system benefits greatly from the inclusion of a 24-hour programmable timer which allows users to input a schedule of operation, so that the unit will automatically power on or off around a daily routine, and auto restart capability. Auto restart enables your air conditioner to automatically reboot itself following a power outage, and resume functioning on its previous setting, which is an invaluable feature for those of us who suffer frequent power blackouts.

Design

As is the case with all ductless mini split air conditioning systems, the Samsung 700558 requires that you hire a qualified professional for installation. This is of paramount importance is it minimises the risk of a botched installation. Additionally, should you attempt to install this type of system by yourself, you may forfeit your warranty coverage. Furthermore, with the exterior condenser unit of the Samsung 700558 weighing a whopping 204lbs, transport of this device may prove challenging without the aid of a professional contractor. Finally, there is an optional in-wall programmable thermostat that you can choose to include when installing this unit, although note, the connections required to link this system’s condenser and air handler are not included with this product, and must be purchased separately.
