Yeah, that makes more sense. He said rust but I was wondering the same thing, aluminium don't rust.

Nowadays you cant be sure about these anymore. Stainless steel also used to be rust-free but nowadays it is also rusting. The composition of these metals are changing every now and then despite being labeled with the same 304 standard.

See the energy saving button? You can set it to 80%, 60% and 40%.

Default is 100% aka manual energy saving off (default mode is let the temp reach desired setting before inverter kick in). I dont use this function in my room because the default is colder and save more power.

I'm only using this for my living room 1.5hp. I use my ac with ceiling fan just to cool down to comfortable temp. So initially I let it run full power, after like 30minutes when its comfortable, I turn energy saving to 60%, which ultimately made it become like 1hp ac. Lets say normal mode power consumption is 1200w/hr, with 60%, it will slowly limit the power to 720w/hr. Hence even when you set the temp like 22c which is unreachable for living room, you can use this mode as manual inverter to reduce power consumption.

Initially i have most Samsung appliance in 2018 (marketing too strong) but most of them broke down after 2 years+

Samsung Front load Washing machine and Oven the moment default warranty habis (2 years +) start having issue :\
WM repair few times (out of warranty) and dun wan bear the cost anymore, change to LG Top load.
Oven lucky has 5 years warranty.

Samsung TV last the most until 2024 roughly then the power unit macam gg , need change but no time to find ppl fix yet. Mid of 2020 also bought LG OLED C series.

Now aircon mostly 2015-2017 Panasonic model and high consumption so trying LG as well test water.
If good then slowly replace all.

Well, its hard to say without knowing what you actually bought but I rarely had much problem with most electrical stuffs that I bought. Even cheapo Hisense TV (first 4k TV) that I bought in 2020 still works today. The only real problematic is the infamous Panasonic ceiling fan capacitor replacement. Even the updated model fixed this lousy board design and I have been using them for more than 5 years.

Avoid Korean AC. Spare parts headache.

How did you all spoilt your ac? I have like hitachi non inverter then to Samsung triangle inverter and now to LG premium inverter. Everytime I upgrade is because the power saving is much better on the newer model. Never once spoilt my ac.

Yes Panasonic is inverters but then super old model already.
The 5 stars rating is showing 2,859 kwh

Got service and maintenance all the while and also replacement of those copper things.

R410a is definitely using more power but also much colder which is true. R32 cools faster but aint that cold imho. I still prefer R32 due to cost savings and much comfortable cooling but I dare not say for everyone.

guys
considering between midea celest inverter 4 star (MSCE-10CRFN8) and hitachi non inverter 3 star (RAK-AH10PCASM) for 1HP
any takes?
*
If you understood how inverter works then you will know the only difference is only when inverter kicked in.

For normal usage between 1-2hours daily, inverter and non inverter probably yeild very minimal difference.

I have been using Samsung and LG air-conditioning for years. Heck, I'm not even saying they are better than Japanese but I haven't had any major problem with any ac unit that I have been using for the past 20 years.

It's easy to see what problem you have with all these brands.

I won't bet my money on TCL being quiet, considered it's the cheapest 1HP a/c in the entire market. Panasonic deluxe inverter with aero wings is the quietest A/C I experienced. But don't get me started on the cooling power, I get mad talking about it because the stupid thing ignores your remote and just wants to save power. It CAN be cold AF, but it refuses to do so. A/C like York and Hisense just gives you whatever you command is.
Lucky you. All a/c technicians I met with told me Korean a/c can't get spare parts (I always ask them about a/c brands because I bought quite a lot), so back to the manufacturer you go to get slaughtered. Recently I had a Haier blower fan rosak, I just ordered on Shopee for less than RM100, original part as well. That being said Haier also not very lasak for me. I've got 4 units used since 2013... 1 failed, 1 blower rosak. Replaced the failed one with a Hisense inverter cause it was cheap.

Hisense seems to be going strong for me. York cooling king... since 2009 still refuse to die and cold AF.

Not sure about Samsung but LG could be problematic when it comes to parts.

I had an experience trying to diy repair an old fridge (not LG but Haier iirc). Somehow it had an LG compressor. Starter broke and trying to source the starter is so troublesome. Was told I had to take pictures of the compressor model and order the part which could take weeks.

Luckily I googled and found that I can just about use imitation part which work just fine. Managed to find a shop with an old uncle who have experience and he told me what to do with the imitation part. It only cost a few bucks.

It's about finding the right people most of the time.
