Total lemon, so over this
Integra VSL75We had the Integra 2 VSL75 installed 2017 and have had nothing but problems since.
Had the motor replaced with in 3 months of install because it was so noisy.
Had values replaced because it was constantly dumping water
Water atomiser replaced, had to wait for the part which took months
Water pump replaced
Now the screen on the remote is going fuzzy so you can’t tell if you are turning it up or down or on to another mode .
We took out the option of the extended warranty for 7 years which has covered some of these .
All of these breakdowns h
Absolute Rubbish
Integra VSL75I absolutely loved my first Bonaire, it lasted nearly 20 years. I replaced it with another Bonaire in 2018, every year since installation it’s needed a new water pump . I would never recommend Bonaire to anyone . Thankfully I’m covered by consumer protection law and they are responsible for footing the bill every single time .

BEWARE of a lot of scam and rogue greedy repairman making the unit seem trash when it is not!
Integra VSL75We have had this unit for 20 years. It has been great except once something small broke we needed a repairman to come and fix it. He fixed it and all seemed good.....
However after this, right as every summer ended in around March of every year, the aircon seemed to always fail. We would leave it and get it repaired the summer after. What was happening is every time we turn it on at the end of summer, it was working but extremely slowly. No matter how high we put the remote setting, the air was barely coming out as the fan was so slow. G
... Read moreoing onto the roof to check, and everything seemed to be working correctly. The water was coming out, the fan was spinning (very slowly) so we had no idea what was wrong. For years this problem kept happening. Summer ends, our system seems to go to this very slow mode and we'd have to get the repairman back to "Fix it". He would charge $250 each time as a minimum and even said at times that he needed to put a new motor in or new other things in (all were rubbish) so as to even charge us more. After a while we got sick of this. This unit was the top of the range at the time of purchase and there is no way that on a yearly basis this problem kept happening. I was convinced that there was some secret code being used via the remote. I asked others in the air con industry about this. They basically laughed at me about the notion of a secret code. To be fair, these guys specialised in refrigeration not evaporative units. I was convinced though. The last time we had the dodgy repairman come, I hid and noticed he was actually too lazy to even go on the roof and fixed it from the ground.... I played dumb and asked question. I got him to tell me that with my remote he could actually turn on the neighbors Bonaire system too!
Too noisy
Integra VSL75The noise is so loud. We had a VSL75 installed only two weeks ago the company who installed it have been prompt in coming out but still the noise continues. My son was listening to it outside, he said it sounds like a bearing noise.
Wouldn’t recommend this product because of the noise. Perth Western Australia

Worst System we have had. as soon as it rains the A/C blows the power. for 8 years
Integra VSL75Air Conditioning Headquaters, previously Advanced Hotwater & Air installed the Bonaire Integra VSL75
and IMMEDIATELY took no responsibility for any problems. Since then there was a new motor installed and now the same problem still arises as soon as it rains. The electrician has stated that it is a fault with the air conditioner and the contractors have not been able to repair it.

Rubbish; constantly replacing parts
Integra VSL75We have a Bonaire Integra VSL75 version 1; each season we have to replace something on it; water pump, fan motor, solenoid valve, dump valve... really not good enough. However, when it’s working it does a really good job in cooling our large house (240m2 of living). Would not recommend...

Don't waste your money. These units are rubbish!
Integra VSL75The unit installed was noisy and did not deliver any cool air.
Bonaire customer service was non-existent.
Even after we managed to get their service technician to come out. The unit was quieter for about 15 minutes but still delivered only extra humidity but no cool air.
In the end we had it replaced with another brand at our own cost and now we are cool in summer.
Bonaire is a complete waste of money.
Largest unit for a house, Nothing but JUNK.
Integra VSL75Supposedly made in Salisbury Adelaide SA. Had it on the roof just out of warranty the first time it broke down. Replaced the pump $250. Following second summer replaced the pump again and the motor due to bearing failure $550. Serviceman said you are lucky to get 2 seasons out of it but parts are cheaper. No water input, Solenoid water valve sticks 2 times now. Had to climb up the roof and disconnect water line connection to release sticky solenoid. Old style straw evaporative still on roof for 20 years and still going. Opposition agent says Bo

Installers left their rubbish off cuts on the roof, didn't install the draft flap, ducting over the top of the roof man hole restricting access, electrical plastic cover in roof over the 240v live junction box left off, so they threw a pink batt from the roof insulation over it, fine spray of water was going over the insulation and onto the 240v junction box. Called out Bonaire to look, they came and nothing said. All this even after I told installers I was a government Inspector and would check their work. Only one man came back to fix things reluctantly telling me they had done nothing wrong. Place of purchase was shown proof of the faults in pictures and said it was out of character for them to do this. ABSOLUTE CRAP !
Early days
Integra VSL75Although the installers caused damage to the ceiling. I'm quite impressed so far. Be warned that when you first turn it on, it smells like you're using an angle grinder inside with a burning metal smell. Now four days later it smells like an old mans urine as the intensity of the smell decreases. I'm told the smell is coursed by something that is used on the pads and is normal. As for the cooling itself... quite good, it cools quickly an efficiently. It pretty quiet compared to my previous 20 year old swampy. It came with a RF remote and is pretty user friendly, apparently the remote can also operate a Bonaire heater if I need to replace the heater at some stage which is cool. So far quite happy.

Bonaire is Rubbish
Integra VSL75Never ever will I buy a Bonaire product again. Its nearly 10 years old now. Once a year sometimes twice since new I have needed a Bonaire agent (the installer) to come out and fix it, I mean change parts ie the controller, float system, main circuit board and the motor now 3 times. The installer from Melton in Victoria always came out to fix it during the warranty period but as soon as it was out of warranty both him and Bonaire did not want to know about the problems. Poor service and poor products. I will never touch an Australian made evap c
... Read moreooler again. You would think they both realise that they have lost so many sales due to customer bad experiences, people talk to family friends etc when they have been abused. I have a similar installation business but not evap cooling, if I sold my customers garbage then gave them poor after sales service I would go bankrupt in a few years. Good luck Bonaire hope you go down the gurgler soon.
Poor qualiy and unreliable
Integra VSL75Purchased 2007, breaks down every summer. Lucky for extended warranty but does not make up for the hassle breaking down when you need it most then waiting approx 1 week to be attended. Replaced nearly all parts, sorry I will have now the fan motor has just gone outside of warranty.Not going to repair it, going to have it replaced with a Braemar LCB550. Not going thru this every summer any more. What wasteful & costly exercise based on Bonaire so called reputation & quality.
Waste of money
Integra VSL75We have been in our new home for 7 years now and have had repairs to the air con and heater every year the weather seal stopped working 3 years ago we have had birds nesting in the unit and a plaque of moths always over the hot period and holidays and we then have to wait for them to return to work and in the meantime we are enduring the hot weather without the cooler this is the time we need it.

Questions & Answers
My fan will not turn on on my vsl 75 bonair but the pump turns on, doesn't anyone know what this issue could be?
The unit is about 10 years old. Had a new motor fitted about a year ago. Unit runs quite ok for about an hour and then shuts itself down although controller indicates that it's running. Fan speed on max (not boost) or one down from max. Seems to be going out on overload or overtem. Weather has been hot - about 35 deg. but that's what it's for isn't it. Does anybody know lightly cause. Many thanks, Peter.
The cause is the manufacturer.
