The brand is 3 in one. Made in usa. I bought it in ace hardware.

Anyone already bought the new Samsung model?

Also, I found the guide from the link below on how to a proper size for air-cond :

What it does it guide you to calculate the British thermal units per hour (Btu/hr) based on the room size in square feet, then compare to the table/chart in it, finally you shall have better picture what size of air-cond you need to get.

I follow the guide provided and found that the room I plan to install air-cond need around 11,000 of BTU capacity, that should be at least 1.5HP and not 1HP.  

Thanks for the advice.
My room size around 170sf and I thought getting 1HP is more than enough.
After reading the link I provided earlier, my room windows facing west and it is much hotter from afternoon until evening, that's why not sure should I stick to 1HP or move on with 1.5HP. 

Looks like reputable brand's 1HP still need rm1000-1200 all in

actually non-inverter or not 1 HP is more than good enough for a 4x4 room. have used 1 HP for larger rooms (non inverter and now inverter) without any problems. either you have serious issues with insulation / cool air loss or the aircon has a problem. if the aircon is fine, than the 1 HP one you got is junk but i dont think that is the problem. there is absolutely no need for 1.5 HP for such a small room.

Ummm... unless the room is ground floor and is very shaded or very good insulation material (like AAC bricks) then yes 1 HP good enough

However, 4m = 13.12 ft so calculating L=W= 13.12 and hlf=70, this gets:
LxWxhlf=13.12x13.12x70=12050BTU

That is somewhere in the league of 1.5HP ac.

hlf is heat load factor and usually varies depending on landed or condo, room orientation (facing which compass direction), dwelling placement (intermediate, corner) and orientation (front facing <compass direction>) and whether first or ground floor or for condo have floors above it or direct under rooftop.

I have written about this before (see post#4).

Even for a room that is perfectly size for 1HP but because using incorrect hlf then it could be underpowered for that room.

I find the calculator at pana malaysia website quite reliable when determining no.of hp to use. the link is here pana hp calculator

a 4x4m room equivalent to approx 172sqf, assume height of 10ft, with 2 adults in the room, 1hp aircond just ngam ngam enough only..

just installed my daikin 1hp inverter R22 yesterday, the installer said R410a type of inverter cooling is faster than normal R22 inverter model.

about installation method, he used a couples of quarter inch tiny nails to fix the indoor unit plate on to the wall instead of the usual wall plug with screws, and he claimed those tiny nails r good enough to hold the 7kg indoor unit.. he said now most installer use this kind of nails to fix the plate..is it normal?? 

All those added feature is just marketing gimmick. if it really can do what it claims, then all those ppl that uses those model will never get sick anymore.

Dear all,

My kitchen is 17 x 19 feet and tiled to the ceiling. I wanted to install a ceiling fan but my other half insisted on installing an air con in the kitchen and a large standing fan. I feel it's not practical. What's your opinion?
Thanks...

Hi, yesterday install my Aircon but due to neighbour complaining too noisy then stop n do on weekday.

My stainless steel bracket for $150,safety wise then to be changed.

Weekend and after 5pm can not renovate or major installation.
