Key Features of the New Models

1. 2027 Energy Efficiency Standard Models (3 models: 6, 8, 10 tatami mats)

These models are scheduled for release on May 30, 2026. They are designed to provide energy savings and enhanced comfort.

Energy Efficiency Standard Achievement: The 2.2kW (approx. 6 tatami mats), 2.5kW (approx. 8 tatami mats), and 2.8kW (approx. 10 tatami mats) models achieve 100% of the energy saving standards for the target year 2027, offering peace of mind for those concerned about electricity bills.
Room Temperature Monitoring (High/Low Temperature): This function detects excessively hot or cold conditions and automatically adjusts operation if the room temperature falls below 14°C or rises above 30°C. (This feature is set to “off” at the time of purchase and is not intended to prevent heatstroke or hypothermia.)
Antibacterial/Antiviral Filter: An inorganic silver antibacterial treatment keeps the filter surface clean, inhibiting bacterial growth.
Dual Freeze Clean for Both Indoor and Outdoor Units: The heat exchanger is frozen to -19°C to lift dirt, which is then washed away by rapid heating, cleaning dust and mold from hard-to-reach areas inside the air conditioner. This function cleans not only the indoor unit but also the often-overlooked outdoor unit with a single button, helping to prevent clogging, reduce airflow degradation, and save electricity.
Lubricating Hydrophilic Coating: The fins of the indoor unit’s heat exchanger are treated with a lubricating hydrophilic coating that resists odor adsorption.
Internal Clean Operation: After use, the air conditioner dries its interior to suppress mold and odor caused by moisture from cooling and dehumidifying operations.
Outdoor Unit Capable of Operating at 55°C External Temperature: While cooling efficiency typically decreases when the outdoor unit’s intake air is hot, these models can operate in cooling mode even at an external temperature of 55°C. They also support heating operation down to -15°C.
Reliable Quality Management: Thorough quality inspections, including AI automated inspection, noise testing, water injection testing, environmental testing (airflow), and performance testing, are conducted to ensure reliability.
3-Year Warranty: The main unit comes with a three-year warranty from the date of purchase (the remote control has a one-year warranty).

2. Automatic Filter Cleaning Models (6 models: 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 20 tatami mats)

These models are scheduled for release on May 2, 2026.

Automatic Filter Cleaning: Equipped with a large-capacity dust box designed to collect up to 10 years’ worth of dust, significantly reducing the frequency of maintenance. Cleaning takes approximately 6 minutes, and the dust box is easy to remove.
Dual Freeze Clean for Both Indoor and Outdoor Units: Similar to the energy-efficient models, this feature freezes the heat exchanger to -19°C to remove dirt and then washes it away, cleaning both indoor and outdoor units.
Lubricating Hydrophilic Coating: The indoor unit’s heat exchanger fins have a lubricating hydrophilic coating to prevent odor absorption.
Internal Clean Operation: The air conditioner’s interior is dried after use to inhibit mold and odor.
Outdoor Unit Capable of Operating at 50°C External Temperature: These models can operate in cooling mode even at an external temperature of 50°C and support heating down to -15°C.
Reliable Quality Management: Comprehensive quality inspections are performed.
3-Year Warranty: The main unit is covered by a three-year warranty (remote control for one year).

3. Standard Models (5 models: 6, 8, 10, 14, 18 tatami mats)

These models are scheduled for release on May 2, 2026.

Antibacterial/Antiviral Filter: An inorganic silver antibacterial treatment maintains a clean filter surface.
Dual Freeze Clean for Both Indoor and Outdoor Units: This function cleans the heat exchanger of both indoor and outdoor units by freezing to -19°C and then heating to wash away dirt.
Lubricating Hydrophilic Coating: The indoor unit’s heat exchanger fins are treated with a lubricating hydrophilic coating.
Internal Clean Operation: The air conditioner performs internal drying after use to prevent mold and odor.
Outdoor Unit Capable of Operating at 50°C External Temperature: All RIAIR standard models can operate in cooling mode even at an external temperature of 50°C and support heating down to -15°C.
Reliable Quality Management: Extensive quality inspections are conducted.
3-Year Warranty: The main unit includes a three-year warranty (remote control for one year).
