Can't believe this thread lasted 3 pages here ...

Anyway, WTH, my contribution:-

1) Inverters - Dun read too much into this. Its 50% marketing talk, some tell me even more. To actually achieve these savings, the settings of the A/C has to be 'optimum', usually too optimum for our normal usage. Maybe it gets better for 2kuda and above.

2) 'Panasonic is quieter than York' - This was what I was told but having gotten Panas for the whole house, I shudder to think what dbs York will give ..
