I have a small bedroom measuring around 10*12 and require an AC within 30k for it. I've shortlisted the following models:

Carrier 12k Kurve

Daikin ftf35prv16

Panasonic uc12qky3

Hitachi rau312hudd

Any ideas on which one is the best to go for? How are Hitachi and Panasonic compared to Daikin and Carrier?

My usage will be mostly 6-7 hours during the night. Need urgent replies since i'll mostly be buying it today itself.
 
I would recommend the HItachi, as my neighbour has it and only has good things to say about it. However if you plan to use full night, then I would recommend you stretch for the 5 star model if you can, as you would save on electricity.
 
I was also in the same boat. Ended up Buying Sharp AH-XP13PET. Got it at 37,500 Installed. It's working as expected. I have a 10x12 and I set the temp at 27 Degrees, It runs at 0.6-0.7 after the room is cooled. The compressor also shuts down intermittently and it just runs in fan mode. :)

It is turning out to be an efficient cooler and It is very quiet in operation.
 
Inverter AC compressors can slow down only to a particular level, below that they will shut down if the room doesn't need that much cooling.

Does the fan unit continue to run...? Even when the compressor is not on a duty cycle. I have five Panasonic splits. The compressor goes off, and the fan continues to run a minimal. At this point the unit load is negligible. I check this using my apartments load display / vend display unit.
 
My sharp inverter used to shut down , fan used to run when i had bought it 2013, currently after loosing some of its efficiency even in current not so hot weather in delhi it goes to a min of 0.5 KW , earlier it was 0.1 Kwatt.
