Which is the best AC brand?

[motorheadinc]

ogeneral being the best AC around is a load of crap!! my cousin had OG window AC 1.5 tonne and it went kaput in 4 years hell my old career window AC which i gave to my bro lasted more than it

Career is still working just had to refill the gas that too after 5 years .

when it comes to CFM cooling power and EER OG wins hands down ...

:S Isnt that two contradicting statements you are making about OG

seems like he is confused alot , I am having 6 OG ac's and all of them atleast 5-6 years old, and none of them has given even a small problem for once, Its better to take OG imported from japan , I took from alfa ,

Hitachi RAU018HPD, Hitachi RAU018GPD & Hitachi RAU018HOD are good in my opinion

all of them are 35k

hod is outdated. gpd is like 34.3k, hpd is around 38.

If you are getting from abroad General is the best bet. It cools like anything. Indian version of OG is nothing but noise machine

Now that the summer in Chennai is taking to my head, I am going for an AC, split one.

Luckily, in my house, I have a small room and it is like in the middle of a hall with all walls. I can walk around the room walls. hyeah: Funky construction.

I have a budget of around 30k (need to get AC + Stabilizer within this). No stretching.

Which brand is good and VFM in this range. Onida,Voltas ?

Any help is appreciated.

Are any of the ACs under discussion here "Reverse Cycle"? I would like to have the option to use it as a heater (very rarely though) for say 3-4 days a year in December when it gets really cold out here in B'lore.

OGs are pretty sturdy...

My window 1 ton OG's compressor died within 2 years, when they pulled out the AC we saw that the rubber bushings were flattened out and the dead compressor was sitting down on the AC's base - they took 3 weeks to replace the AC's compressor and bushings

I doubt I will ever buy an Indian OG again, I may still buy the imported OG's.

^I thought the Indian OGs were imported? Seems like customer support is alien to them. :|

How are Panasonic's AC's? Saw an ad in today's TOI..pricing on the 1.5 Ton split AC anyone?

I was told that OG's were assembled in Pondicherry with many Indian parts - but that the compressor and fan are imported. Is this right ?

I emailed Misubishi about my new 1.5 ton split AC and they have mentioned in their reply that this AC is fully imported.

My LG 1.6ton window pretty strong, excellent cooling, 1 yr old. LG's a good brand.

How is Voltas Vertis Gold split ac planning on buying it.

 

[vijaycool]

I think we need something like this.EER 40, This unit employs Maisotsenko Cycle (M-Cycle) Using water as coolant. I am not sure whether it work in humid climate like in mumbai and chennai. Its a cool concept 600Watts for 6tonne is just crazy

Was locking on Onida/Voltas. But the dealer had no stock of Onida. So went for the Voltas Elite 1.5 T split.

cost: 25.7 (including stabilizer) + 1200 ac installation extra

3 stars. DOnt know the power consumption yet.
