What was the basis of shortlisting these models and brands in the first place?

Probably on the cheaper side with with both around 27k. Neither of them have even half decent feedback.

I recommend not making a decision with price as sole criteria here. I know a lot of people who ended up with non functioning AC's in an year or two of purchase just by going with price.

For an AC, long term maintenance is a key. so chose a brand and product with decent feedback and ensure that they have after sales service.

IFB is good brand for Washing machines and dishwashers, not for AC's.

For AC's, go with brands like Daikin, Hitachi,O-General, Blue star etc.

Also look at whether 1 Ton AC is enough for the room size.

For most bedrooms, 1T is adequate.

Unlike other appliances, ACs do require regular upkeep. Local service center availability & attitude matters a lot. make a few enquiries.

Look at Voltas, BlueStar. Consider the online options as well. you normally get decent discounts. Recently ordered a Whirlpool window AC online, it was very smooth - delivery, install & the product itself.

Room size above 10 x 10 will ideally require a 1.2-1.5 ton AC.
