I would like to end this confusion with my experience -
I have both Daikin 1.5ton and panasonic 2 ton
I bought Daikin 7 years back, no major issues or gas leak, once it had a cooling issue and guy came changed thermostat for 1.5k including visit charge. No further issues and man this ac never disappoints, turn it on and room is chilled in 10mins Room size 16x12 with One side sunlight after 12pm
Then family grew and bought a 2 ton ac room 16x12 One side sun light, was thinking like you panasonic have wifi and inverter to save bill blah blah. After one summer I am planning to sell this or put petrol on it and burn. I live in north and in may june temp goes burr 45+. I am paying bill for This AC which is pure shit, cooling like a air cooler, compressor trips every 30mins. Had to put something over it so it stops tripping. Called service people twice, they just come with one digital thermostat and put in front of ac put temp to 16 and show ac is giving 13-14° cool air, and don't bother about compressor getting turned off.
So I don't know about new daikin ac but if you are comparing ac cooling with new panasonic which I bought 2yr back just take daikin. Leave the wifi bs aside, you pay the bill for cooling. if you need get a Smart switch and connect to ac it will make your ac turn on off with wifi or a mi smart home device which has remote control feature for non smart devices.
