Sorry; I posted the wrong url in my original question. I’m looking for a split Ac, not a window one. My main question is, is it always safer to buy a name brand like Sharp? I’m mainly looking for something that has a good compressor since I want the Ac to last at least 10 to 15 years. My...

I can get the croma 1.5 ton ac for RS 29,000. Does anyone have any experience with Croma AC? I googled and found only one negative review in consumer complaints. Nothing else about it. the site is here: http://www.cromaretail.com/Croma-15-Ton-CRAC1077-Window-Air-Conditioner-pc-58-394.aspx...

Buying a one ton inverter instead of a 1.5 non inverter could be a very good idea. I will have to give it some thought but I am tempted. Sharp has Plasmacluster air purifier technology, which means it supposedly removes viruses and bacteria from the air. My question is, is this just a...

Thanks, everyone. Since I use the Ac only for 6 to 8 hours a day for 4 months, it makes no sense to buy an inverter. The amount I save on electricity bills for the next 10 years won't make up for the extra RS 15,000 I would have to pay for the inverter AC. Haresh, what do you mean that...

Thanks. I went to a big store and checked both Electrolux and Panasonic out. I found Panasonic doesn’t have a display or temperature indicator on the indoor panel. The dealer told me: 1. Electrolux has copper coils while PAnsonic has that only in 5 star versions. He said copper is...

Thanks a lot. What you say made me consider inverter Ac again. But alas it is expensive and I am really going for something cheaper But your info is very useful. If I can afford a more expensive one in the future I will go for an inverter model.

I have researched a lot and narrowed it down to these 2. I want to spend preferably less than RS 30,000 but still get a brand that works well. I can get Electrolux or Panasonic 1.5 ton Split AC from 2 diferent dealers. Both cost RS 27,000. I was all set to go for Panasonic since that has...

Thanks again, everyone. I finally saw the 1.5T Panasonic Cube AC in a store. I see it is around Rs 5000 cheaper than a 1.5T non inverter split. And it seems to have a much larger surface area. BUT it has no swing at all. most split ACs have only a 2 way swing, ie up and down. a few...

I will sell the old AC and will use only the new AC. I assume that a 2 ton AC will naturally consume more power than a 1.5 ton one and thus, I will get higher bills? When I asked my dealer that he said no, you won't get significantly higher bills. He said it will use more power only if the AC...

Yes I live on the top floor of a 4 floor apartment building. So you mean the top floor gets hottest? Because the sun hits it? I have only one AC and will use only one.

Thanks so much for all your answers. Actually I am wondering if my 300 sq ft room even needs a 2ton Ac. The dealer said I must buy a 2 ton inverter and if I buy a 2 ton non-inverter I will need another 1 ton AC also. So, 3 tons in all. I think thats nonsense. Someone told me he uses a 1.5 ton...

Thanks for your answer. I live in Gujarat and our electricity bills are high. I get as high as Rs 3,500 per month bill in summer. We also use a 300 liter Godrej Frostfree fridge and run the washing machine every day for one full load. I don’t know how much these 2 items contribute to our...

Hi, I want to buy a split Ac for my living room, which is 25 by 12 feet, or 300 square feet. One dealer told me I should buy the Sharp Inverter 2 ton AC since it would cut electricity costs. The Sharp Ac costs Rs 56,000. Another dealer told me that theres a significant savings in...
