What we like about Olimpia Splendid Aryal S1 Inverter 10

  • Efficient cooling and heating performance using multi-functional heat pump technology
  • Energy-efficient inverter technology lowers electricity consumption compared to older models
  • Very quiet indoor operation with integrated silent mode
  • Improves indoor air quality with its triple-stage filtration system including an anti-dust and activated carbon filter

What we don't like about Olimpia Splendid Aryal S1 Inverter 10

  • Wi-Fi smartphone control kit often needs to be purchased separately
  • Does not include necessary electrical or refrigeration connections in the standard box, leading to unexpected installation costs
  • Customer service can sometimes be unresponsive when issues or unusual device noises are reported

Verdict

The Olimpia Splendid Aryal S1 Inverter 10 (Aryal S1 E 10 C) is a high-wall monosplit heat pump air conditioner delivering 10,000 BTU/h of power, with a nominal cooling capacity of 2.64 kW and a nominal heating capacity of 2.93 kW. It features high-efficiency DC inverter technology using eco-friendly R32 refrigerant, achieving energy ratings of A++ in cooling (SEER 6.3) and A+ in heating (SCOP 4.0). Main characteristics and pros include its multi-filtering Air Quality system (anti-dust, activated carbon, and cold catalyst), an automated Self-Clean evaporator cycle, convenient Follow Me and Sleep functions, a quiet low-speed sound pressure level of 25 dB(A), and Wi-Fi readiness. On the downside, the required Wi-Fi smartphone kit is often sold separately depending on the specific regional bundle, and some users note that its heating mode can occasionally over-modulate or be imprecise at maintaining exact target temperatures compared to its highly efficient cooling performance.
