The FreshIN + Function serves as an indoor air purifier, offering four modes—Breathing, Fresh Air, Exhaust, and Purification—to adjust to varying comfort levels. Additionally, the Gentle Breeze mode provides a gentle and natural wind alongside cooling benefits.

Convenient Maintenance and Smart Integration

TCL incorporates a Step Auto Clean feature for easy and efficient maintenance, utilizing water molecules in the air to clean away dust, dirt, and impurities. This process, including drying and sterilizing, ensures cleaner air with minimal effort. Moreover, the air conditioner offers smart integration, allowing remote operation via a dedicated app or basic voice commands. Users can monitor and adjust settings such as real-time fresh air volume, power consumption, and sleep modes through the TCL Home app.
