Feature Overview

The TCL Elite XA73 air conditioner is the ideal choice for cooling residential and commercial spaces. It not only offers excellent cooling capacity but also an efficient heating function that ensures comfort all year round. The unit uses advanced inverter technology, which ensures exceptionally quiet operation and a constant room temperature. This technology continuously adjusts the compressor’s output to match the current demand, resulting in significant energy savings and minimizing noise levels.
Thanks to its high energy efficiency ratings—A++ in cooling mode and A+ in heating mode—the TCL Elite F2 is particularly eco-friendly and economical. It significantly reduces electricity consumption compared to conventional air conditioners, which has a positive effect on your electricity bill. The unit uses the eco-friendly refrigerant R-32, which not only increases efficiency but also minimizes the impact on the environment.
The air conditioner is equipped with Wi-Fi functionality, allowing you to conveniently control the unit via the TCL Home app or through voice control with Google Assistant and Alexa. This way, you can adjust the temperature even when you’re not at home, ensuring a comfortable indoor climate at all times.
Smart Airflow
Perfect Climate Control: Cooling from Above for Even Temperatures
The split air conditioner utilizes a natural physical principle: cool air sinks downward. That’s why the innovative cooling system starts specifically from the ceiling, ensuring optimal distribution of cool air throughout the entire room.
The airflow directed from above ensures a uniform temperature from floor to ceiling. This prevents unpleasant cold spots and an uneven indoor climate—instead, you’ll enjoy a harmonious, perfectly tempered environment at all times.
With this intelligent cooling technology, the Elite XA73 provides efficient, gentle, and exceptionally comfortable cooling—ideal for hot summer days and a new level of indoor comfort.
Heating and Cooling in Turbo Mode

Optimal heat distribution: Heating from below for maximum efficiency
The split air conditioner utilizes the natural tendency of warm air to rise. In heating mode, the warm air is specifically distributed in the lower part of the room and then rises evenly. This creates a pleasant, constant warmth from the floor to the ceiling.
Thanks to this sophisticated airflow design, the areas where you spend your time warm up faster and more efficiently. The entire room benefits from optimal heat distribution, without cold spots or uncomfortable temperature differences.
With this intelligent heating technology, you’ll enjoy maximum comfort on cold days while saving energy—for a cozy home that adapts perfectly to your needs.
4-Way Airflow

The 4-way airflow of the TCL Elite F2 air conditioner ensures even distribution of cooled or heated air throughout the room. Automatic horizontal and vertical airflow control directs the air to every corner of the room, enabling efficient and comprehensive room climate control.
Fresh, Clean Air for Your Home

Enjoy clean and healthy indoor air at all times
The TCL split air conditioner not only ensures perfect temperatures but also the best air quality. An efficient, top-mounted filter reliably removes dust and other pollutants from the air—for a fresh and hygienic indoor environment with every breath. Since the filter is easily accessible, cleaning is particularly straightforward, ensuring that air quality remains at the highest level over the long term. This way, you and your family can enjoy healthy, clean air—day after day.
I Feel Function

Smart temperature control right where you are
With the innovative “I Feel” feature of the TCL Elite Split Air Conditioner, climate comfort becomes even more personalized. A built-in temperature sensor in the remote control measures the current temperature right where you are. This way, the air conditioner adjusts its output not based on the room temperature at the unit, but precisely according to your individual comfort zone.
This means that whether you’re on the sofa, at the dining table, or in the bedroom—your TCL Elite automatically adjusts the climate control to your immediate surroundings and ensures a consistently pleasant indoor climate.
Enjoy maximum precision, ultimate comfort, and climate control that flexibly adapts to your needs—with TCL’s intelligent “I Feel” technology.
Smart control anywhere, anytime

Comfort at the touch of a button—anywhere, anytime
With the split air conditioner, you can control your indoor climate more easily and flexibly than ever before. Whether using the classic method with the handy remote control or modern control via the app: you have full control over all functions—at any time and from anywhere.
Using the TCL Home app, you can conveniently adjust operating modes, temperatures, and timers via your smartphone or tablet. Thanks to smart home integration, voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant is also possible—simply set it up and enjoy your desired temperature with a voice command.
To use the smart features, all you need is a Wi-Fi network and a compatible device. This makes personalized comfort an integral part of your everyday life—smart, intuitive, and efficient.

Self-cleaning for hygienic freshness and maximum comfort
The split air conditioner features an intelligent 4-stage Auto-Clean function that effectively removes dirt, dust, and contaminants using natural water molecules in the air. The entire cleaning process is automatic, efficient, and ensures that the air in your home always remains fresh and clean.
In addition, the system provides timely reminders when the filter needs cleaning, ensuring that the unit’s efficiency is maintained over the long term and that hygiene standards are effortlessly met. This way, you not only enjoy clean indoor air, but also extend the service life of your air conditioner.
With Auto-Clean, you can transform your home into a healthy oasis of well-being—with minimal effort and always with the assurance of a perfectly maintained system.
Restful Sleep in a Perfect Indoor Climate

Whisper-quiet operation and gentle temperature control for your night
With Sleep Mode, you can enjoy restful sleep in an optimal indoor climate. In this mode, the air conditioner adjusts the temperature in subtle increments so that your body remains in the ideal comfort zone while you sleep—whether it’s summer or winter.
At the same time, the noise level is reduced to a minimum, so the air conditioner operates whisper-quietly and doesn’t disturb your rest. The gentle air circulation also prevents unpleasant drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations.

1*) Annual energy consumption (kWh/year). Based on standard test results. Actual consumption depends on usage and the location of the unit. 2*) Refrigerant leaks contribute to climate change. Refrigerants with a lower GWP contribute less to global warming in the event of a leak than those with a higher GWP. This system contains a refrigerant with a GWP of 675. Therefore, a leak of 1 kg of this refrigerant would have an impact on global warming 675 times greater than 1 kg of CO2 over a period of 100 years. Do not perform any work on the refrigeration circuit or disassemble the unit—always consult qualified personnel.
