Well, if you observe, the size of the ODU remains the same. So, I assume that there is no difference in the build. The power consumption has also come down by around 100W to 1470W in the 2013 model. My hunch is that it is a different compressor (better one in terms of power consumption) that LG...

Do note that the LG model cited by you is not a 2013 model, but a 2012 model. You can either try for a good bargain on this model or go for the 2013 model. The prices of 2013 LG inverter models have come down to sane levels- BSQ186C8R2 (cooling only) has a MRP of Rs 50,490 on LG India website...

^^Congratulations on freezing your purchase decision. It is true that if usage will be limited (2-3 hours in your case), then it is better to go for a non- inverter model. However it becomes an altogether different ball game in this case as Sharp Inverter model is available at exactly the same...

The preference for ips panel actually narrows down your choice to LG and Panasonic ( there might be other brands as well which I am not aware of). Since you are in Mumbai, you can visit any of the multi brand retail shops and trust your eyes and senses for narrowing down on a particular brand/...

Stainless steel cavities seem to be the norm. Samsung provides 5 year warranty on their ceramic enamel cavities. I have been using an Electrolux (20ltr convection) for the past 6 years and Samsung (28ltr convection) for past 4-5 years without any complaints (touch wood!). Personally, I found...

You can purchase water-proof cloth and get the cover made by a tailor. That is how we did. Take care not to make an absolutely tight- fitting cover as it will get torn easily on repeated use. Also equip the covers with straps which would prevent the cover from getting blown away by wind.

Turning off the AC for half an hour is not a good thing to do from the viewpoint of saving electricity. Some tips to save on electricity bills: AC: Run it continuously for the required period. Set temperature around 24-25C for optimal comfort and savings. Clean the IDU filter and ODU heat...

Thank you for the pics. A clean installation I must say! You can consider getting a cover for your ODU, to be used when there would be prolonged duration of unuse (if at all).

Congratulations on your purchase! It would be great if you can post a few snaps of the Indoor and Outdoor units.

Please post a close, clear pic of the panel. I think we can help you out.

You can have a look at the recently launched Whirlpool Neo Chill range.

For the battery, you can try Exide Invatubular or Base Tall Tubular instead. The said load will be supported by the 850VA setup but in my opinion on full load, the backup will last for maybe 3-3.5 hours. Also note that as the battery ages, the backup time will reduce.

No model will run in a low capacity inverter (upto 1400VA). It is because in the low power mode (100 or 200W), the power is maintained by switching on and off, much like an AC. When switched on, the induction stove will draw the full power- around 2000W. Accordingly an inverter has to be bought.

Around 2 years ago, we went for 3 nos 5* rated Samsung split AC's. The general consensus is that Samsung AC's are not quality product. Inspite of this, I went for them because: 1. Trust in the brand, instilled through use of multiple products from the brand 2. Good relation with the service...

Hi RishiGuru, Technically speaking, a 1.1T is just sufficient for the room dimensions given for you. However, for an inverter machine, it is suggested to go a step above the required capacity- the logic being a higher capacity (tonnage) machine would reach the desired temperature faster and...

Please clarify the duration for which you plan to run the AC's. An inverter AC will provide substantial savings over a 5* rated one only if the duration of running is long and continuous. I guess the minimum running that should be targeted if you go for an inverter AC is around 7-8 hrs a day...

Congratulations on the purchase! You can go ahead with a V-Guard stabilizer. Can you post a few pics of the installation (IDU & ODU), if possible?

The reason I suggested top loaders is that in the case of a prolonged water supply cut, if you decide to call off the wash process, you can easily take out (unload) the clothes, which is a bit of a hassle incase of front loaders. Secondly, if the water supply fails, you can manually feed water...

If you plan to use it in areas where continuous water supply is an issue, you may re-consider your decision to buy a front load. Semi-automatics or Top Load automatics work best in areas having intermittent water supply. Also, decide on the capacity required, space constraints if any, hot water...

I think the delay in switch-over is happening not because of the UPS being a non-sinewave model. I have Microtek SWE2 875VA UPS and the switchover is prompt- LCD TV, HTiB and even our desktop computer don't re-start during the switchover. At the back of the UPS, you'll find a switch to toggle...
