Sound like install multi split more saving cost Leh.

MIt have 2 brand MHI or ME.

For me I would go for ME = Mitsubishi electric MR slim have easy clean to access fan blower

MHI = Mitsubishi heavy industrial, nothing much feature for that.

Anyone heard bout kool man brand? Any review?

interesting...but compared Hitachi vs ME which one better?

Check my previous few pose has mention hitachi inverter has slightly noisy, unlike ME can't hear any noise.
Colder for both is not much different, honestly ME for me still much much satisfied at all range.

I try to avoid Hitachi as it lasted only 5 years. In between, I changed the capacitor once/twice until one day the compressor died exactly after 5 years of use.

My old National air cond is still working perfectly fine for almost 14 years now.


So to answer your question, I will go for ME.

ME so far still never feedback on compressor died within a warranty period.
But capacitor is only part of control the fans or compressor like a starter when switch on power, would be failure or can last more longer we not guaranty for non-inverter model, due to switch on & switch off during in cooler temperature.

If suggests you Panasonic brand, there was not under matsushita group already, don't think they can delivered the same quality as National brand with red word.

Don't expect things are as reliable as old product. Last time the one 1HP a/c is almost 2k, and now < 1k you can get one unit. Telefunken TV in our previous house lasted 20 over years, doubt you can get such reliable unit now.

My in-Law 2HP National non-inverter still running strong and no vibration or so..

Kimsim,

are both also Hitachi's ? I'm looking for one that has quiet outdoor compressor, as it will be sitting right outside the windows or my working area.. Do you have any recommendation ?

Hitachi or ME for all look like same.
But make sure you buy inverter unit lah.

When start up will hear some fan runing noise as a jet for full spinning.

After while would be reduce to meet up internal Room temp, also variable speed for outdoor.

For me is quite quiet, cause my outdoor to be place side by side of the window side.

The rest like not inverter you want to good luck already.
Noise not only fan, you still can hear like compressor noise else, when on and off I would said you better switch power off and used stand fan much better for sleep as comfort time in the early morning

I bought Haier 1HP with RM600 (Without installation of course)

Wow the cost really cheap, just feel that inverter 1hp can buy 3 units

Anti bacteria feature with 2 years warranty (inner unit) 5 yrs for outdoor unit.

Find it cheap....feel wanna give a try

Haier not bad.. Even midia or Gree all from china much durable than some Japan brand

Hi, I wanted to install air conditioner for my room (finally). Would like to get some info and advice from sifu here.
I'm not sure on size of my room, roughly 4m x 3.5m. Main culprit for air conditioning is my huge desktop with 6 HDD which generate quite some heat. Last time I lived in air conditioning room, I always on it whenever I'm home, but I always keep temperature around 26" ( 27" when sleep, 25" if bloody hot ).

1. My reading from previous few pages, it seems 1HP inverter a.c. unit suit me, please advice.
2. Budget around 1k.
3. Low monthly electric bill (as I'm the one paying for bill).
4. Brand. Panasonic seems to be always reliable choices. From reading of previous post, Mitsubishi electric seems like a good choice in air conditioner.

I do have question about brand like Haier and others (advice me pls) with lower price, are they good choice compare to higher price branded like Panasonic ? Say cheaper one last for 5 years and expensive last for 10 years, but price is half of expensive one.
Thanks in advance.

Google Gree malaysia supplier .
Or midea from china brand, cheap and good quality. They have inverter unit also

Will check it out.

More question coming. Since I had bought many things from internet and forum, more options and lower price, but limited to electronic devices like phone. How are those that sell air conditioner and services in LYN forum? Or I should still better off visit jusco, Sen heng ?
Thx again.

They WTS here and you qoute they come over to install for u at near by your place only

Like Seng Heng still have service team to support.

Jusco not really sure
