Hello All,
Every now and then one finds a thread about air conditioners asking for info.. but I am giving info here and asking for some more.. hopefully this is a better thread.
I had done a survey of a about 3 stores in Mumbai. Here are the prices of the Air-conditioners alongwith the model nos for the same. Please note that I was interested in only 3-4 brands hence the same being reflected in the info provided herein. All are 1.5 tons and window AC models
Croma
Hitachi QC-18EQD-SM (Single Blow model) Rs 25990
Hitachi QC-18EQD-TM (Twin Blow model) Rs 26990
Carrier Estrella Rs 23990
LG LWASHW 3DD1 Rs 21690
(NO OGeneral available here)
HyperCity Good electronic store but pretty lousy collection when it comes to window AC
Hitachi QCTM 18EQDZ1 Rs 26199
(NO other good brand from my list available here)
E-Zone Likewise here lousy collection for window ac (But seemed to be more competitive than the the other two stores I visited)
Hitachi SM Rs 25300
Hitachi TM Rs 26000
I missed out visiting Vijay Sales as I was running short of time, but would definitely visit once before I decide on buying and update this thread too.
Questions
My questions are intended to bring out a winner which will satisfy the following conditions in the given order of preference.
1) I was hoping to find OGeneral in atleast one of these stores as it comes under the list of brands I was looking for, please share the recent model prices if you do know.
2) Someone mentioned that OGeneral by japanese make/parts is the best available in Indian market, can anyone confirm this information ?
3)Please give me your order of preference if you were to choose amongst and Why?
OGeneral, HItachi SM, Hitachi TM and Carrier.
4) Any opinions on the above mentioned list in question 3 or otherwise.
Thank you for your valuable time and inputs.
Edit:
Found out that there is ceiling wall types also.
This will be ideal as my I have little space above windows for wall mount types, ceiling mount would be more than perfect.
This means I will have to make rounds again
Please comment for ceiling mount types also and whether General and Hitachi are the best for such type of air conditioners.
Thank you
