Third-party reviews

What we like about Buderus Logacool AC166i.3 Set 2.6 kW 7733703599

  • High energy efficiency with an A++ rating for cooling and A+ for heating
  • Extremely quiet operation, down to 20 dB(A) in sleep/silent mode
  • Versatile 3-in-1 functionality that supports cooling, heating, and dehumidifying
  • Advanced air filtration system including a Super Ionizer, high-density filter, and cold catalysis filter to eliminate bacteria and odors
  • Modern, compact design with an elegant matte finish
  • Useful smart features such as the 'Follow Me' temperature sensor on the remote control and a 3D Swing Panel for even air distribution

What we don't like about Buderus Logacool AC166i.3 Set 2.6 kW 7733703599

  • Requires professional installation and structural wall drilling, as is typical for complex split-system air conditioners
  • The Wi-Fi gateway module required for smart control via the MyBuderus app is an optional accessory that must be purchased separately
  • The 2.6 kW cooling capacity is strictly optimized for small to medium spaces, limiting its effectiveness in rooms larger than approximately 30-35 square meters

Verdict

The Buderus Logacool AC166i.3 Set 2.6 kW (item number 7733703599) is a single-split air conditioner and air-to-air heat pump designed for rooms up to approximately 30–35 m², delivering a nominal cooling capacity of 2.63 kW and a heating capacity of 2.93 kW. Operating efficiently with eco-friendly R32 refrigerant, the system features a high seasonal energy efficiency with a SEER of 7.4 (Energy Class A++) for cooling and a SCOP of 4.1 (Energy Class A+) for heating, and it works reliably in outdoor temperatures ranging from -15 °C to +50 °C. Key advantages include an ultra-quiet sleep mode that operates down to 20 dB(A), versatile 3-in-1 functionality (cooling, heating, and dehumidifying), comprehensive air purification using a Super Ionizer and cold catalysis filter, and an iClean self-cleaning cycle at 56 °C to prevent mold. On the downside, smart operation via the MyBuderus app is not plug-and-play out of the box, as Wi-Fi app connectivity requires the separate purchase of an optional Logacool IP gateway accessory.
