Ogen from the grey market

Well that does bring me to another point. How much is the price difference between a regular AC and the grey market? For e.g. how much is the difference for Hitach/Ogen 1.5 Ton?

Which will be better of these two for my room size of 170 sq ft?

1.Voltas Vertis Gold 1.5 and (I heard from a dealer there is a new model coming thats Voltas Vertis Gold EYE 1.5) and
2.Godrej - GSC 18FM 5 MIZ.

Or can you suggest any Carrier model. The price range will be from 25000 to 30000.

I need a good energy efficient and good compressor model.
I dont know about the durability of Godrej. Please let me knwo the service of Voltas also.

First thing first, you are hijacking my thread. Second, welcome to the forum. For 170 Sq. ft 1 ton is more than enough.

the one with inverter.. (or pwm control of the motor) is more efficient n better technologically.

it employs extra circuitry for producing modulated voltage frequency thus should be costlier than regular conventional ACs.

the wiki link states that the regular conventional ACs are more efficient at Full load compared to this pwm based ones..

now i'm assuming Full load = maximum temperature difference from the ambient temperature(without AC).

so if you think you AC would be operating at full load most of the time then invest in regular AC.

otherwise pwm based ones shall be better product to buy.

I didn't mean to offend you dada . Really Really Sorry adder.

Well actually I am not very happy with Godrej AC's service centre and customer care . My gradnparents had a Godrej AC and it troubled them a lot.

Not only did they drag a lot for identifying a small reason , but also they are complete robbers . They are just waiting to rob the daylights off from you .

well for eg the O general 1 ton in showroom costs around 30k and in the grey market it costs 24k,although i bought it for 23.5k since i had bought lots of other stuff from him.
no ideal about hitachi or toshiba.
 
There's no O-general. Its simply called General or more specifically Fujitsu-General. They are very good ACs but buying from grey market means you could be getting a reconditioned AC. Here are my picks in the market if budget is not a big concern

Daikin

Mitsubishi

Hitachi

Voltas

Avoid the koreans like plague.
 
^The term 'O-General' is more popular in the Arab nations apart from India. The dealers refer to the brand that way. :P
 
I agree with madnav.. Efficiency will be better with an Inverter AC.. Only cost is a major hindrance. It may not be suitable for every person or scenario. like when there is very less on/off cycles, like in a living room or a shop...

But I prefer running AC with ceiling fan at low speed in my room. It keeps the room cool not chilly but uses a lot of on/off cycles hence turns out less efficient... Would have recommended it if cost would not have been a factor... But I will get these later when prices settle.. until then my regular AC it is.. :ashamed:

I agree with Daikin & Hitachi. Never heard of Mitsubishi... How come Voltas is included in this list. Now a days Voltas Ac's which are manufactured for domestic use contains components from China and its prone to problems. Now dont ask me how, I personally own them (New Split) and i am not satisfied with its performance. It started giving problem right from the 2nd day of usage. The remote controller board stopped working, later on the Compressor had to be refilled with gas... OMG.... its a problem going for these... Voltas does not have the quality as before

I would say, Ogeneral, Daikin, Hitachi would be the best options to go for if you have the money.

Other wise from the reasonably priced ones, Choose Samsung (1st choice) LG (2nd Choice) & finally Voltas.

The quality of Voltas has detoriated. I still own couple of old Voltas window AC and it has quality Components, infact the compressor is from Samsung and fan motor from CG & GE... you cannot see these components in the Voltas AC's which comes in now adays....
 
From the reasonably priced one's, Why no one is suggesting Onida. Till last year it was a favorite among low cost Ac's.

I personally own Onida AC since 3 years and touch wood it is working fine.

Now they have launched range of 5 star and 4 star models.
 
Any idea how is hitachi ACE cut out Hitachi-RAU018HQDP and Hitachi follow me Hitachi-RAU018EQD??

Is it really worth buying a 5 star rated a/c?
