for A/C.....
hisense>fujiare/midea
those 2 from same midea oem factory
hisense JV with hitachi as many have pointed out

other than A/C no idea whether hisense good or not
they are buying Sharp N America recently so it seems they are pretty strong in TV market as well

but again, my hitachi 1hp also problem after 1 year
other than brand, i guess luck plays some part too
