The Toshiba Shorai Edge Black 3.5 kW is the black colour variant of the Shorai Edge wall-mounted air conditioner, with the RAS-B13G3KVSGB-E indoor unit and the RAS-13J2AVSG-E1 outdoor unit. The manufacturer combines high performance in cooling and heating with energy savings and distinctive styling: an edge-style body and a matte surface are meant to give the interior a unique character. The technical parameters are the same as in the white version, which we list separately in the catalogue; what differs is the colour and the controller in Luxury Black style.
The key figures from the manufacturer's materials: nominal cooling capacity 3.5 kW (range 1.0–4.1 kW) and heating capacity 4.2 kW (range 1.0–5.3 kW). Seasonal efficiency is SEER 8.6 in cooling and SCOP 5.1 in heating, both in class A+++. The indoor unit runs from 19 to 43 dB and the outdoor unit is rated at 46 dB. The indoor unit measures 800 mm wide, 293 mm high and 226 mm deep, and weighs 10 kg. The refrigerant is R32.
Beyond appearance, the manufacturer stresses the Ultra Pure filter, an exchanger that by its account cleans itself, airflow directed along the ceiling in HADA Care technology, and a Wi-Fi module with an app. It is a model for someone who treats the air conditioner as part of the decor and wants extensive controls as well. The manufacturer's description speaks in one place of a Wi-Fi module fitted inside the casing and in another of an integrated module, so we confirm the scope of equipment with you before ordering instead of assuming it in advance. We base this page on the manufacturer's brochure and its description of the line; where the documents differ, we say so openly.
Overview and positioning
Shorai Edge is the line that Toshiba presents as its newest unit on R32 refrigerant, combining high performance with energy savings and a distinctive design. The Black variant adds a black casing to that. In our catalogue it sits next to the white Shorai Edge, so you can choose the same technical core in a different colour. For a customer comparing offers, the simplest test is this: compare the unit codes RAS-B13G3KVSGB-E and RAS-13J2AVSG-E1, not just the series name. The white version of the same line is marked by a code without the letter B at the end of the indoor unit, so they are easy to confuse in an order.
The positioning is clear: this is an air conditioner for someone who looks both at the figures and at how the unit looks on the wall. Class A+++ in both modes is the highest level of marking, and the manufacturer also points to extensive controls and filtration. So this is not a basic model but a proposal from the upper part of the range, with a correspondingly wider set of functions. It is also important that the manufacturer describes the line as available in seven capacity versions. We discuss only the 3.5 kW variant, because only for it do we have the figures, and we do not carry over parameters from other versions.
A nominal capacity of 3.5 kW in cooling and 4.2 kW in heating suits a room of average size, for example a bedroom, living room or study in a Warsaw flat. We always confirm capacity by measurement and inspection: we calculate the volume and look at the windows and sun exposure. The black colour is also worth viewing against the wall, because a dark, matte body behaves differently in a bright and in a dark room. An extensive list of functions should not overshadow the basics: before purchase, what counts is matched capacity, the place of installation and a sensible installation route.
Cooling and heating technology
The manufacturer stresses the technology of Toshiba rotary inverter compressors used in all models of the line. In practice this means smooth power regulation: the range of 1.0–4.1 kW in cooling and 1.0–5.3 kW in heating shows that the unit matches its output to demand instead of running in an on–off cycle. The working fluid is R32.
Seasonal efficiency is SEER 8.6 and SCOP 5.1, both in class A+++. The SCOP value means that in the heating season and under test conditions the unit delivers more than five units of heat for each unit of electricity. The real result, however, depends on the insulation of the flat and the set temperature. The manufacturer also mentions energy monitoring in the app, which makes it easier to keep track of consumption. In bad frost do not rely on the air conditioner alone: for safety, keep a second source of heat in the room.
The operating range is from -15 to 46°C in cooling and from -15 to 24°C in heating. This means that the air conditioner works in winter in frost down to -15°C, but it is not a Nordic version meant for even lower temperatures. Among the functions the manufacturer lists a forced defrost, that is, defrosting of the outdoor unit on demand, as well as a mode called fireplace and a setting of 8°C. The maximum installation length is 20 m. In summer, on hot Warsaw days, the cooling range up to 46°C gives a margin, and in winter heating operation in the transitional months can relieve the radiators. Just remember that an air conditioner of this capacity does not replace the whole heating system.
Comfort and air quality
Air quality is mainly the job of the Toshiba Ultra Pure filter. According to the manufacturer it catches and binds PM2.5 pollution, with efficiency of up to 94% quoted in the materials, and in addition neutralises viruses, bacteria, mould and unpleasant odours. The indoor unit exchanger is, by the manufacturer's account, self-cleaning. We do not describe this as a separate function that you have to start, but as a feature of the exchanger stated by the manufacturer.
Thermal comfort is supported by HADA Care technology, which keeps the airflow flat along the ceiling and limits direct draught. Combined with 3D airflow and independent louvre control, it lets you set the direction of flow so that it does not blow straight at people. The manufacturer also describes the Comfort Sleep mode, a mode for comfortable sleep. Filters need regular cleaning, because even the best filter retains dirt only when it is not clogged. When we hand the unit over we will show you how to take them out and how often to look into the unit.
Quiet is a strong argument here. The indoor unit runs from 19 to 43 dB, and the Quiet mode goes down to 19 dB. The outdoor unit is rated at 46 dB, and the Silent mode lowers its noise by 6 dB(A), to 38 dB(A). For a balcony in an apartment block this matters, because neighbours and your own bedroom have fewer reasons to complain. The manufacturer also lists icon brightness adjustment, so the display does not have to glare at night.
Controls and Wi-Fi
The manufacturer describes a wireless infrared remote controller with all functions, together with a weekly timer and the option of connecting it as a wired controller. In the black variant a controller in Luxury Black style is listed. This is the basic way of operating the unit, and it needs no network.
Wi-Fi is described in the materials in two ways: as a module to be fitted inside the casing and as an integrated Wi-Fi module. For remote control the manufacturer points to the Toshiba Home AC Control app, with energy monitoring and voice control through Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Because the source does not clearly settle whether the module is in the set, we do not promise it; we will check this during the quote and tell you whether an additional element is needed.
If remote control matters to you, say so at the start. That way we will match the scope of work and, at start-up, connect the air conditioner to your network and to the app. For someone who likes to fine-tune settings, three elements work together: the remote with the weekly timer, the app (if the scope of equipment includes it) and voice control. You do not have to use all of them; just the one that suits you. If you plan to use voice control, ask us which assistant you have at home and we will choose how to configure it. If you prefer classic operation, the remote with the timer is entirely enough and needs no network configuration.
Design and build
This is the most important feature of the Black variant. The manufacturer describes a pure black casing with an edge-style design and a matte finish, meant to give the unit a unique character. The indoor unit is 800 mm wide, 293 mm high and 226 mm deep, and weighs 10 kg, so it is compact for a unit with such capabilities.
The matte surface has a practical advantage: it does not reflect light as strongly as gloss and looks more discreet against the wall. Remember, however, that a black unit on a light wall will be a distinct accent, so it is good to plan its place together with furniture and lighting. Careful routing of the pipes helps a great deal too, so that they do not spoil the clean line of the body. A dark casing also shows dirt more easily, for example dust on the top edge, so from time to time wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth, not with aggressive agents that could damage the matte finish.
The controller in Luxury Black style and the ability to adjust icon brightness complete the picture of a unit designed with appearance in mind. The RAS-13J2AVSG-E1 outdoor unit is rated at 46 dB and, according to the manufacturer, has a Silent mode that lowers it to 38 dB(A). So you have a choice between the quietest operation and full performance on hot days or frosty mornings.
Installation and service
As part of installation LeoKlima mounts the indoor and outdoor units and runs up to a few metres of refrigerant, electrical and condensate lines. We make the wall penetration and take care of tidy routing of the installation, which matters particularly with a black casing. Then we evacuate the system, check it for leaks, charge it with refrigerant and start the unit.
At the end we check the operating parameters and configure the controls, and if you want to use the app, we help with the network connection. We explain how to operate the unit and hand over the warranty documents. The manufacturer allows an installation up to 20 m long, but the scope in a particular flat is set at a free audit. When mounting on the wall we also show how the pipes run, so nothing is a surprise.
We discuss possible surcharges before the work. They concern a longer route, drilling through concrete or reinforced concrete, chasing walls, a condensate pump and work from a lift platform. We quote the installed price after a free assessment. In use, remember regular filter cleaning, an annual inspection covering the tightness of the system and the cleanliness of the heat exchangers, and in winter a check that the outdoor unit is not buried in snow.
Who this model is for — summary
The Toshiba Shorai Edge Black 3.5 kW is for someone who wants the air conditioner to be part of the decor and at the same time expects the highest energy classes and extensive filtration. A matte black casing, A+++ in both modes, the Ultra Pure filter and quiet operation make a package that fits a modern flat in Warsaw well. The decision should not depend on a catalogue photograph alone, but on how the black body looks in your interior and whether the parameters suit the room.
It suits less well someone who needs heating in the hardest frosts, because the heating range ends at -15°C. Nor is it the best choice if the colour is meant to be neutral and invisible on the wall; then consider the white Shorai Edge. Remote control requires confirming the scope of equipment, as mentioned above. If you hesitate between the black and the white variant, say so during the quote and we will discuss which suits the colour of your walls and furniture better.
Write or call, and we will come, look at the wall and measure the room. Then we will establish whether 3.5 kW is the right capacity and what controls are needed. We quote the installed price after a free assessment, with no obligation.
